Implement "Log" Component about zircon

[William-Lake]

Hi All! Just saw the post on /r/roguelikedev and am so excited to see this control in Zircon! I know I'm preaching to the choir here but, great work- on everything!

Would that log-component support scrolling ?

[adam-arold]

Yep, it will implement Scrollable so it will get the scroll behavior from the get-go but no scrollbars yet (we haven't implemented that component yet).

So basically there will be a binding between the log component and a List you supply an you can either scroll up-down programmatically (for example you can add a key listener to the ArrowUp and ArrowDown keys when the component when it is focused) but by default the last n elements are displayed.

Let's discuss this over our discord channel if you have any specific ideas!

I guess it makes sense (at least I want this for my game), to have the possibility to add different styles (e.g. color/underline (would work as link)). So instead of a simple List/collection, maybe having a small API to add log content would be better. After I got re-familiarized with Zircon again, @adam-arold I would discuss it with you, maybe I can then build a prototype :)...

Definitely a good idea! This was made for a Software Design course. Source is here.

I only perused it so it probably needs some improvement. I also think that for a preliminary implementation we'll do fine without a scrollbar.

@coldwarrl do you think you can give a story point estimate?

Thanks, you can now use it!
