Variable translator for money

[Adonique Pineda <ad...@tooltwist.com.INVALID>]

I would like to provide a variable translator to TextField depending on the
currency of the user. For example:

       <t:textfield value=*"stockItem.priceAsBigDecimal"* translate=
*"prop:moneyAmountTranslator"* />

In AppModule I have two money translators defined:

    configuration.add("moneyamount_0", *new* MoneyAmountTranslator(
"moneyamount_0", 0, threadLocale, *false*));

    configuration.add("moneyamount_2", *new* MoneyAmountTranslator(
"moneyamount_2", 2, threadLocale, *false*));

However, I can't figure out how to make one available to the translate
parameter of the TextField as a variable. How can
getMoneyAmountTranslator() retrieve one of the above translators? Can they
be injected?

Cheers,
Adonique

Hello!

I'd try @Inject'ing FieldTranslatorSource and use its FieldTranslator
createTranslator(ComponentResources componentResources, String
translatorName) method. The type of the validate parameter of
TextField and any other AbstractTextField subclass isn't Translator,
but FieldTranslator. FieldTranslatorSource.createTranslator() is
exactly what's being used indirectly when you have a
translate="something" in your template (look at
TranslateBindingFactory if you're curious :) ).
