Hi - partly due to the recent interest and partly due to our own desire to
eventually upgrade to a newer dojo version, i've resumed work on this as well
since today...
Interestingly, i've selected to work and finish tacos-jquery first,
the idea being that
fully integrating another library will 100% validate if all has been
done correctly
So, I'd like to share some thoughts on the missing features you've mentioned (as
stated, this will relate to jquery)
- Validation & script processing: i consider those fairly trivial -
so i expect to have them
by later today
- Widgets: that's a bit more problematic - dojo offers a lot of'em
(moved into digit), jquery
has a lot floating around and also jqueryUI. The main issue with our
widgets is that current ones
are too tightly bound to dojo0.4.3 to try to generify them... For the
record, those are:
DropdownDatePicker, DropdownTimePicker, Dialog, Autocompleter
So, what i've already done is have a custom
ComponentSpecificationResolver (already committed
in tacos) that is able to 'rename' components (on template loading
time), so you're able to configure
this resolver like this:
<contribution configuration-id="tacos.services.ComponentSubstitutions">
<rename component="DropdownDatePicker" to="DatePicker"/>
<rename component="DropdownTimePicker" to="DatePicker"/>
<rename component="GTimePicker" to="DatePicker"/>
<rename component="Autocompleter" to="jquery:Autocompleter"/>
</contribution>
and all the different datepickers will really be replaced by the
simple DatePicker (until
a jquery specific component gets added) while the autocompleter is
replaced by a jquery one
Of course, the purpose here is to ease migration of existing
applications + making it easy for
devs to just try other libs.
Anyway, so, if ppl want to help 'right here, right now' I guess the
next step for dojo 1.1.1 would
be to checkout
https://tacos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tacos/tacos-4.1/trunk/tacos-dojo
make the few changes to move it from dojo 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 and then
port tapestry's DropdownDatePicker, DropdownTimePicker, Dialog,
Autocompleter to that.
And I'd be happy to review and commit patches for the above (sent to
the tacos ML) or even
discuss alternative approaches
