Hi All,
I'm still checking out ways to integrate my GWT code with JS libraries.
I recently discovered JQM4GWT (a GWT wrapper for JQueryMobile) - which seems great but is still half baked. I'm also a little unsure if I agree with the level of abstraction taken in JQM4GWT - I think perhaps it is wrapping too much.
I (think) my primary needs in using a JS library (eg, JQueryMobile) are pretty simple.
1) I want to be able to bind events to the JS code so that event handlers are are written in GWT.
2) I want to be able to create elements in the DOM, add JS markup (eg, "data-rel=dialog"),
3) I want to call JS methods (eg, listview('refresh'); )
To achieve 1, is it reasonable to use GQuery to do the event binding - could there be any bad interactions when using jQuery as well? I've been checking out GQuery. It seems like a great way to do 2. JSNI makes 3 pretty simple, albeit, with the caveat of keeping track of the elements in GWT.
In some respects, I feel like what I am looking for is a really light-weight GWT library that makes wrapping JS libraries easy. Pretty much something like Backbone.js but for GWT. Any gems out there? Should I make one? Is this folly?
