GWT model, presenter, view framework

See tessell.org.

Todo

• Add @Place annotation
  • Take name of presenter
  • Any constructor parameters--how to denote application-level vs. request-level?
• Figure out cross-presenter transitions
  • Event bus doesn't make sense--these aren't global things
  • Have Slot listen to presenter events?
• Support 2nd generation Presenter interfaces via event hook hints in ui.xml file
• form disable on ServerCall
• indicator on ServerCall
• Pre-fill the handler (optional);
• doLogin.call(user, pass);
• HasDispatchAsync to ServerCall cstr
• Out-of-the-box local storage integration (probably via changes to dtonator, use AutoBeans)
• PropertyGroup copies are not deep

Notes

• ResourcesGenerator assumes a global namespace of image/CSS files, even if you use subdirectories. It also assumes all image/CSS files are below the packageName you pass to it.

Binder DSL Ideas

• SetActions

  binder.when(...).is(true).set(//
    textOf(...).toOrElse("", ""), // toOrElse returns SetAction
    styleOf(...).to(bz.active())); // to returns SetAction
  
  binder.on(keyPressOf(...)).then(execute(command));
  binder.on(clickOf(...)).then(toggle(button));
  binder.on(clickOf(...)).set(SetAction...);
  binder.on(blurOf(...)).set(SetAction...);
  
  // or, for more unique static imports
  binder.on(blurOf(...), thenSet(textOf(...).to(asdf)));
  
  // string actions
  binder.when(condition, action1, action2);
  // e.g.
  binder.when(value, is(true), show(this), hide(that));
  

• Non-trivial omponents, e.g.

  <foo:Form>
    <fields>
      <foo:TextLine />
    </fields>
    <blah>
      <foo:Bar />
    </blah>
  </foo:Form>
  

  Goes to:

  form.addField(textLine1);
  form.setBlah(...);
  

  Any HTML implicitly becomes an HTMLPanel, e.g.:

  <foo:Form>
    <blah>
      <p>
        <foo:Bar />
      </p>
    </blah>
  </foo:Form>
  

  Goes to:

  form.setBlah(htmlPanel, List<Bar> bars);
