[jira] [Created] (WICKET-6411) Easy to embed wicket widgets into 3rd party pages

Vaclav Slovacek created WICKET-6411:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Easy to embed wicket widgets into 3rd party pages
                 Key: WICKET-6411
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6411
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: wicket
            Reporter: Vaclav Slovacek


Until recently iframes were the primary method of embedding 3rd party widgets/components/content into your pages. However recent trends in JavaScript frameworks such as Angular and React enable to seamlessly embed 3rd party widgets directly into the original page DOM. This overcomes several limitations of iframes including ability to render outside of the iframe.

Ideally you would like to tell the author of the parent page to embed some code like this:

{code:html}
<head>
    <script src="https://myApplication.com/allYouNeed.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div wicket:embed="id/path or something identifying the component"></div>
</body>
{code}


The included JS would contain bootstrap that finds all embedded Wicket components and does AJAX requests to get HTML content to render in the divs. There are couple of things that would need to be done like contributing to the parent page header items. Making sure the content from wicket is returned without <html><head><body> wrapping tags.
