import { Route, Router } from '@smartface/router';
import { withDismissAndBackButton } from '@smartface/mixins';

//You should create new Page from UI-Editor and extend with it.
export default class AlertViewSample extends withDismissAndBackButton(PageSampleDesign) {
myDatePicker: DatePicker;

constructor(private router?: Router, private route?: Route) {
super({});
}

// The page design has been made from the code for better
// showcase purposes. As a best practice, remove this and
// use WYSIWYG editor to style your pages.
centerizeTheChildrenLayout() {
this.dispatch({
type: "updateUserStyle",
userStyle: {
flexProps: {
flexDirection: 'ROW',
justifyContent: 'CENTER',
alignItems: 'CENTER'
}
}

onShow() {
super.onShow();
const { headerBar } =
System.OS === System.OSType.ANDROID ? this : this.parentController;
Application.statusBar.visible = false;
headerBar.visible = false;

this.myDatePicker.show();
