Bela Bohlender c09405d58c Typescript: improve enum types and setMargin type (#1233)
Summary:
Currently, it is impossible to write `node.setPositionType(2)` instead of `node.setPositionType(POSITION_TYPE_ABSOLUTE)`. I understand that the idea is to force explicit usage of the enums. However, declaring `type POSITION_TYPE_ABSOLUTE = 2 & ['POSITION_TYPE']` artificially limits use cases, where, for example, the state should be serialized typesafe.

Additionally, this PR fixes the incorrect typing of `setMargin(edge: Edge, margin: number)` by extending the type to `margin: number | string`

yoga-layout

This package provides prebuilt JavaScript bindings for the Yoga layout engine. Both WebAssembly and asm.js variants are packaged, with the optimal loaded based on platform.

Usage

The default entrypoint provides an asynchronous loader function to return a Yoga instance.

import { loadYoga, ALIGN_CENTER } from "yoga-layout";

const Yoga = await loadYoga();

const node = Yoga.Node.create();
node.setAlignContent(ALIGN_CENTER);

An alternative synchronous API is provided for compatibility, but requires using asm.js in browsers instead of WebAssembly, leading to worse performance and larger assets.

import Yoga, { ALIGN_CENTER } from "yoga-layout/sync";

const node = Yoga.Node.create();
node.setAlignContent(ALIGN_CENTER);

Objects created by Yoga.<>.create() are not automatically garbage collected and should be freed once they are no longer in use.

// Free a config
config.free();

// Free a tree of Nodes
node.freeRecursive();

// Free a single Node
node.free();

Selecting WebAssembly or asm.js

For better performance and smaller packages, WebAssembly is preferred to asm.js where available. yoga-layout tries to provide the right default using export maps so that platforms which can take advantage of WebAssembly use it by default.

A specific entrypoint may be specified on platforms which do not understand export conditions.

import { loadYoga } from "yoga-layout/dist/entrypoint/wasm-async";
