A way to emulate the "Builtin" package?

[unlimit]

I don't particularly want to create my package with an OOBE file, I'd rather do it the same way the 'Built In' package works. Is there a way to emulate it?

I tried using:

RDXEvents:Bind("INIT_DATABASE_LOADED", nil, function()
 
    local test = RDXDB.GetOrCreatePackage("test");
 
    if not test["test_script"] then
        test["test_script"] = {
            ["ty"] = "Script",
            ["version"] = 1,
            ["data"] = {
                ["script"] = "just random text",
            },
        },  end
end);

But that didn't seem to be cutting it.

My mistake, My TOC was the problem.

However, I still do have one question. Is there anyway, using this method, that I can create a package without having to add in every little detail, object by object? like...

RDXEvents:Bind("INIT_DATABASE_LOADED", nil, function()
    local test = RDXDB.GetOrCreatePackage("test");
 
    if not test then
        test = {
            -- Every object in package goes here!       
        };
    end
    
end);

local function InstallData(data)
    if type(data) ~= "table" then return; end
    -- Integrate
    for pkgName, pkgData in pairs(data) do
        for objName, objData in pairs(pkgData) do
            RDXDB.GetOrCreatePackage(pkgName);
            if type(objData) == "table" then
                local lf = RDXDB.TouchObject(pkgName .. ":" .. objName);
                if lf then
                    lf.ty = objData.ty;
                    lf.version = objData.version;
                    lf.data = objData.data;
                end
            else
                RDXDB.SetPackageMetadata(pkgName, objName, objData);
            end
        end
    end
end
 
RDXEvents:Bind("INIT_DATABASE_LOADED", nil, InstallData([[
    ["test_package"] = {
        ["test_object"] = {
            ["ty"] = "Window",
            ["version"] = 1,
            ["data"] = {
                {
                    ["feature"] = "Frame: None",
                    ["bkd"] = {
                        ["_border"] = "none",
                        ["_backdrop"] = "none",
                    },
                }, -- [1]
            },
        },
    },
]]);
end);

Something like this, perhaps?

Hi unlimit,

See the file RDX.Builtin.lua for some examples.

I mean, I've already been doing that. <_< I was just curious if there was an EASIER way than doing it line by line.

To put it another way, the builtin.lua system makes it's package, then builds it's contents object by object.

Is there a way - besides the OOBE method - to simply create a package and it's objects all at once?

Try with the command
toto = VFL.copy({})
Instead of using
toto = {}

Something like this, by chance?

RDXEvents:Bind("INIT_DATABASE_LOADED", nil, function()
    local test = RDXDB.GetOrCreatePackage("test_package");
    if test then
    test = {
        ["test_object"] = {
            ["ty"] = "Window",
            ["version"] = 1,
            ["data"] = {
                {
                    ["feature"] = "Frame: None",
                    ["bkd"] = {
                        ["_border"] = "none",
                        ["_backdrop"] = "none",
                    },
                }, -- [1]
            },
        },
    };
    VFL.copy(test);
    end
    
end);
