What's headless?

Headless means that the components step and draw are isolated and are fully customizable by the developer.

Components are splitted in two lightweight functions: logic and render. For example, a button behaviour like if the mouse is hovering it, is controlled in the logic function, while its drawing in the render function.

Example of a logic function:

function UiButtonStep() : UiBaseComponent() constructor {
step = function() {
// Check something every step
}
}

and its related render function:

function UiButtonStep() : UiButton() constructor {
draw = function() {
// Re-draw the button when its state changes
}
}

The logic function extends the core UiBaseComponent and the render extends the logic one, so to instantiate this button, you only need to get an instance of UiButton().

var myButton = new UiButton();
