I am a staunch advocate of the unconventional Google Web Toolkit (GWT) as a framework for dynamic Web application development. I also use Django, of course. In my current project, much of my time has been wasted devising how to transfer content to and from Django and GWT.
The root of my problem is that I am trying to maintain synchronization between my Django ModelForm and what GWT is displaying. Being an idealist, I hate coding the same thing in two different places when it should be written once. I should be able to define a ModelForm and have GWT read it. This isn't a severe problem at the moment, but I imagine it will be as my project grows and becomes more complex. It seems that to adequately address my problem, I would have to write classes to substantially mimic those of ModelForm, BoundField, etc. I would also have to create some process to serialize them properly in Django. By extension, a lot of Django's functionality could be extended into GWT for tighter integration. Based on the silence of Stack Overflow, this is territory that has yet to be treaded on: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/369230/what-is-the-best-way-to-serialize-a-modelform-object-in-django My question to Django users is, would you find such code to be useful for this specific AJAX framework? What specific functionalities would you seek to be integrated? Forms, or something else? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
