Introduction

Here's how to start Glue:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Glue = require(ReplicatedStorage.Wally.Glue)

Glue.Stick()

Here's how to start Glue and additionally catch any execution errors, using Promises:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Glue = require(ReplicatedStorage.Wally.Glue)

Glue.Stick():catch(warn)

Execution Model​

Providers have two built-in lifecycle methods: onCreate & onStart

Glue.Stick calls onCreate on all Providers before calling onStart, and rendering the Framework as started. Glue will wait for any yielding processes to commence during onCreate until it calls onStart.

Glue.Stick -> Provider.onCreate & yield -> Provider.onStart -> Glue.OnStick

Creating a Provider​

Here is how to create and start provider:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Glue = require(ReplicatedStorage.Wally.Glue)

-- Creating the Provider
local ExampleProvider = Glue.Provider("ExampleProvider")

-- Attaching the onCreate lifeycle method
function ExampleProvider:onCreate()
    print("I have been created!")
end

-- Attaching the onStart lifecyle method
function ExampleProvider:onStart()
    print("I have been started!")
end

-- Starting Glue
Glue.Stick():catch(warn)
