Any ETA of when popouts will work?

Would be great to know if there's any planned eta for them :)

I haven't used them yet, but if they're of use to you, I'll try to integrate them! If you have/know a demo of using them with plain GL or a React/Vue integration, I figure it shouldn't be too hard to adapt it for Svelte. (If the official docs have a good demo, I'll find it)

As this is just a side project, I may not find the time immediately, but implementing it over the course of May is probably realistic.

Any update on when popups might be available? Thanks for all your hard work on this!

I will now start working on this; can't give you an ETA though. It was a little hard finding a working example to base the implementation on, but the angular integration seems to have working popouts, so I will try to adapt that.

Edit: adding a link to golden-layout/golden-layout#688 so that I don't miss it

So there are basically two blockers that keep this from working completely.

The first is minor: there is some bug (that is not present in the Angular example, so it's my fault) that popping out and in multiple tabs uses the wrong positions (e.g. pop out tab 2, pop out tab 1, pop in tab 2 - index out of bounds or something). This should be easy to figure out simply by reading the Angular code and figuring out how they do it.

The second is fundamentally that the popout window is a separate Svelte instance, so any communication and state synchronization has to keep that in mind. For development, I removed the statekeeping in the test component. That works, but it's not realistic as a use case.

I'm not sure the multi-window state synchronization should be part of this package; it could make the whole integration tighter, but I would probably embed a couple of nontrivial assumptions into the logic. I think it would be better to add that into the demo and not the library, so that there is an example but it's part of the application using svelte-golden-layout.

Gotcha. Thank you very much for your hard work looking into it! Let us know if you have any further developments. Have a great day!
