How to generate lvgl stub?

Micropython
#1

How can i generate micropython stub for lvgl? I want autocomplete and documentation in vscode. What is the best way to achieve this?

I tried https://github.com/Josverl/micropython-stubber to generate the stubs from a microcontroller running lv_micropython. Everything else is generated, except lvgl.

Normal, on line 80 of createstubs.py it hardcodes the modules it will stub. It claims: ā€œthere is no option to discover modules from upython, need to hardcodeā€. Indeed help("modules") prints the list of modules and returns Noneā€¦

So one way to use this is to add `ā€˜lvglā€™ to the list declared line 80ā€¦

One may even want to add as well espidf, ili9341 and lvesp32 and a few of the new uasyncio onesā€¦ Here is the complete printout I get from help("modules"):

framebuf          uasyncio/__init__ ujson             xpt2046

Its quite long. One way to fabricate the list is to write the following script:

str = """BLAH"""
lst = str.split(" ")
print([k for k in lst if len(k)>0])

and save it. I name it blah.py). Then:

  1. run help("modules") on your micropcontroller
  2. take the generated text and paste it replacing the word BLAH in the script blah.py. Donā€™t touch the triple quotes.
  3. run the script and copy/paste the resulting list in order to replace the right hand side of the = sign in line 80 of createstubs.py. Iā€™d personally duplicate line 80, comment out the first instance and modify the second, thus keeping a copy of the originalā€¦

Have fun!
