Re: Starting new GWT project - what to use

Bryan,

We don't know enough of GWT 3.0 to be 100% certain. As a consequence I'm just trying to be as pragmatic as possible. 

 

What I am currently doing is this:

- UiBinder with elemental2

- celltable/datagrid

- JsInterop to interact with JQuery/Bootstrap/D3 and some other components for JQuery. Writing the JsInterop was really easy.

- GWTP for MVP design to keep my tests fast and independent of the UI layer

- Using restygwt with gwtjackson for RPC.

The UiBinder dependency will be a problem with GWT 3.x but right now I did not find something that really was 100% my taste (Errai comes close, but I don't like going full Errai). Migrating the templates should not be too hard since the html files are mostly pure HTML tags anyway.

My exposure the celltable/datagrid is hidden behind a builder pattern and the column model is generated using a custom generator. I'm considering moving to either a pure JS table implementation or the Vaadin grid component. But there is no rush at this moment.

I am just ignoring all talks about GWT3.
Nobody really knows what will go away. And the talk about it is going on for almost 3 years.
I decided I will fix stuff when GWT3 is actually released and I know for sure what will go away.

I don't use UIBinder and never used it. And I don't use GWT-RPC because I talk to a non java rest service. But also using widgets and gwt-gootstrap3.

Hi,

I've been a long time GWT user, and my current apps use gwtbootstrap, UI Binder, widgets, GWT-RPC. i.e. most of the stuff that, IMO, makes GWT worth using.

From the stuff I've seen about the 3.x release, a lot of this disappears. I'm wondering if there's any document anywhere which sets out "best practice" for any new GWT deleopment (or indeed, would you even use GWT ?).

Thanks.
