All Platforms: Modally presented popover server driven components. about beagle HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello @bradleysmaskell

This is a very interesting feature request. Implementing this is indeed harder than we'd like and it would be in our interest to create something to make it easier. Having said this, I think there might be an easier way to achieve this result.

Have you tried the following?

1. Create a native modal view in Android and iOS that loads a server driven view with a given URL;
2. Create a custom action that receives the URL as parameter and opens up the modal;
3. Use a global context to store the data that must be shared between the screen with the ListView and the modal screen.

By using the Global Context, when you update it from the modal, it should automatically update the other view.

A native support in Beagle

To implement a native support for this in Beagle, we need:

• A modal view in the navigator and actions to open and close it;
• A way for updating the state (context) of the screen from the modal.

We're developing a "version of Beagle" for SwiftUI and Compose called "Nimbus". We do have this feature there. Can you take a look at the implementation in Nimbus and tell us if it would work for you? If it does work for you, we can consider bringing it to Beagle.

Link to this feature in nimbus: https://github.com/ZupIT/nimbus-docs/blob/main/specification/default-actions/navigation.md#more-on-states-and-events

The example above navigates to a new screen. But, in Nimbus, we have the action "present", that works the same way, but opens a modal view instead.

Summary

1. I think there's a simpler way to implement this in Beagle without any update to the library. It consists on using the global context to share a state between the screens and custom actions to open a modal. Can you check if this works for you?
2. In the long term, I propose a native implementation that works just like Nimbus. What do you think about this?

Hi, I'm passing here just to let you know that the Beagle team is taking some vacation time.

We'll take 2 weeks off and be back at Feb 06. Feel free to keep commenting in this issue and we'll address it as soon as we're back.

Thanks @Tiagoperes. We will try this approach and report back.
