[ANN] Tapestry Bootstrap Module

[Barry Books <tr...@gmail.com>]

I'm working on a couple of projects that will use Twitter Bootstrap
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ templates so I decided to create
a Tapestry Module for this. The project is on GitHub
https://github.com/trsvax/tapestry-bootstrap and I've been working on
it about a week. It contains wrappers for the various Bootstrap items
such as alerts, popups etc.

Perhaps the most interesting component is the MediaGrid. The idea is
to create a component that supports pagination as well as javascript
scrolling on demand. It's somewhat like the Tapestry Grid but built in
a completely different way. It uses a subcomponents controlled through
the environment setup by a mixin. The presentation is in the
components and the mixin is the controller. There are interfaces
between the parts and each one is pluggable. The components receive
the parameters like this:

@Parameter(value="prop:alert?.type",defaultPrefix="literal")
private String type;
	
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
@Environmental(false)
@Property
private AlertEnvironment alert;

and the controller looks something like this
https://github.com/trsvax/tapestry-bootstrap/blob/master/src/main/java/com/trsvax/bootstrap/mixins/Pager.java

There is also a javascript mixin
https://github.com/trsvax/tapestry-bootstrap/blob/master/src/main/java/com/trsvax/bootstrap/mixins/InfiniteScroll.java
that hides the pagination component and adds items to the grid
dynamically as the user scrolls.

I've been trying for a while to figure out a way to set component
parameter defaults without success and this is the first
implementation I'm happy with. I've also included a mixin to push
objects into the environment
https://github.com/trsvax/tapestry-bootstrap/blob/master/src/main/java/com/trsvax/bootstrap/mixins/PushEnvironment.java

There is an example page that uses most of the components.

https://github.com/trsvax/tapestry-bootstrap/blob/master/src/test/resources/com/trsvax/bootstrap/pages/Index.tml

and can be run with mvn jetty:run

I would say the current code is mostly usable but the Media Grid needs
some work. Since that's the main reason I created the module it will
be improved shortly.

I've already had some very useful feedback and would appreciate more.
Code is also welcome.

Lastly I've created a blog to chronicle this project. It also used
Bootstrap and is written in Tapestry.
