[FREE] šŸ”„ AllComp Extension: Get All Components using blocks

AllComp

Hello everyone, while making one of my apps I got strangled in an unusual issue, I wasn't able to get the list of all the label components in a screen using blocks. Moreover in certain extensions to change the font of all labels you have to place them manually in the blocks. So I created this masterpiece.
An extension to fetch the components in the code dynamically.

I would be happy if you can test my extension and give me feedback on the same
It is a completely unique extension on the community and useful to format labels and other components in bulk.
Each component has three methods

  1. Get All Components: It returns the list of component objects
  2. Get All: It returns list of component names
  3. Get All by substring: It returns a list of component objects with the substring
    Also if you can remove the previous messages in this post it will look less cluttered

I understand that some of you might not be able to get the usage of the extension
Example if I have to get a list of buttons that contain the substring button

This will apply formatting to these buttons that contain the string button

Hope its clear now

@Kumaraswamy for helping me out on how to get the components using MIT AI2's library. Though I had made the extension beforehand, I was stuck while compiling as I was using the wrong Method name :joy: So silly!

only this one is useful, but not necessary. others can be done with build-in blocks.

I don't think so

Imagine if you have twenty labels named as kevin1 kevin2 and label1 label2
You have to apply formatting to kevin1 and kevin2 you can use the block to get label comp list with substring kevin
Believe normal blocks can't do this

This is very great

Its so beneficial imagine you have labels with different names headings sub paragraph 1234 etc.
Now you have to apply formatting you can apply similar formatting to heading by entering substring

Suggestion, could you reduce your number of blocks by supplying helper blocks for the component type, or to simply allow a text block to define the component?

@TIMAI2 thanks for your suggestion I am thinking to further increase the number of components and create a string input for component type
But first please list this version

[mod edit: content added to first post, where it should be.]

I don't think it's a good idea to tag moderators or power users unless explicitly told by them to do so...

Thanks brother

How they both are different?

What is the usage of it and what is substring in the label?

I request you to make a useful guide and add in this post, I don't get the usage of the extension and how to use this extension?

Why these above are not useful? What is the difference between yours and these.

See here

How that list formed to be a object and become view component?

Please be clear

What is the main use of this extension?
Where it can be use?
How this is different from our blocks I shared?

Get all label gives list of all label names
Whereas the other gives label object in list so you can use it in other extensions for formatting
The third one lets you get component list that have a particular string in a list
Eg heading will return list of labels heading1 headingnow etc
Hope its clear now

For eg you can use the button block to format specific buttons

You can use my extension to get a selected list of buttons by a string

Then show a guide
