[jira] Created: (TAP5-1364) Documentation about ExtJS integration
Documentation about ExtJS integration
-------------------------------------
Key: TAP5-1364
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1364
Project: Tapestry 5
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Reporter: Borut Bolcina
Maybe there should be some docs about integrating with other JS libraries at the http://tapestry.apache.org/user-guide.html. Maybe the chapter "Ajax & JavaScript" should be separated. Some clear examples of how to include other js libs would be very helpful.
I saw a very short email on the user list about extjs integration issue (http://tapestry.markmail.org/thread/6zz7zz7ewuzkengv), but I doubt this "hidden" info will be found early enough for someone trying to start with T5 and extjs, before he/she gets in the bad mood.
I am writing this beforehand - I haven't even tried T5 & ExtJS web app yet, but I am doing a field research as what troubles I might have. I just bought a book "ExtJS in action" so there will be plenty of info from the Extjs side, now I wish there would be some from the T5 side also.
Thanks!

Borut Bolcina commented on TAP5-1364:
-------------------------------------
In Chapter 1.5.1 of the ExtJS book the author explains the content of the distribution. There is a folder "adapter" and what it does is:
"Contains the ext-base.js, which is the base Ext JS library, which is used for an all-Ext JS
setup. It also contains necessary adapters and supported versions of Prototype, jQuery,
or YUI libraries if you want to use any of those as a base."
And chapter 1.5.3 talks about configuring ExtJS with other libraries:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="extjs/resources/css/ext-all.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="extjs/adapter/prototype/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="extjs/adapter/prototype/scriptaculous.js?load=effects.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="extjs/adapter/prototype/ext-prototype-adapter-debug.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="extjs/ext-all-debug.js"></script>
and follows with:
"As you can see, this is like the generic Ext JS setup with two additional JS files. The Prototype
and Scriptaculous libraries take the place of ext-base, and ext-prototypeadapter.
js maps the external library methods to Ext."
How can this help with T5 integration?

--------------------------------------------
The main problem I've seen is the conflict between Prototype's addition of Function.defer() and ExtJS's addition of an incompatible Function.defer(). I go through a tedious and error-prone process of renaming ExtJS's addition to "xdefer".
It underscores that you can layer JavaScript, but not always JavaScript Libraries.
