[jira] Created: (TAPESTRY-1811) Infer value from id as a prop expression for nested bindings

Infer value from id as a prop expression for nested bindings
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TAPESTRY-1811
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1811
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.0.5
            Reporter: Nick Westgate


When no value is given, id is used to check for a property. This works:
<t:textfield t:id="username" t:validate="required"/>

This was posted to the user list:
<t:textfield t:id="user.username" t:validate="required"/>

It would be nice if the given id were treated as a prop expression for the value binding.

Cheers,
Nick.

[jira] Closed: (TAPESTRY-1811) Infer value from id as a prop expression for nested bindings

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Howard M. Lewis Ship

There's a conflict between your proposed support for a dot (".") in the component id, and the use of dot as a separator in nested ids, such as those that appear in URLs. At this time, I do not wish to change the use of dots in action URLs which makes this bug relatively unfixable (well, we could layer a kludge on it, like translating '.' to '@' when building a URL).

I've always seen the default parameter binding from the component id as a bonus, not a requirement.  This bug would promote that bonus up to a pretty hard-core requirement.

[jira] Commented: (TAPESTRY-1811) Infer value from id as a prop expression for nested bindings

Nick Westgate commented on TAPESTRY-1811:
-----------------------------------------

Why restrict identifiers so? Actually, the fact that dots are allowed in id's complicates the suggestion, I suppose.

The exception for the "user.username" case lists unbound required parameters but gives no hint of the automatic value search/failure:
"Parameter(s) translate, value are required for org.apache.tapestry.corelib.components.TextField, but have not been bound."

Cheers,
Nick.

Howard M. Lewis Ship commented on TAPESTRY-1811:
------------------------------------------------

To be honest, I think the code should be clearer that foo.bar is not a valid component id, because of the dot.  An error message such as:

The value 'user.username' is not valid as a component identifier.  Component identifiers may only contain letters and numbers and must start with a letter.

... would not leave any doubt.  Perhaps we should list the unbound parameters?
