[jira] Created: (TAPESTRY-742) LinkSubmit renders overly verbose JavaScript

LinkSubmit renders overly verbose JavaScript
--------------------------------------------

         Key: TAPESTRY-742
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-742
     Project: Tapestry
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Framework  
    Versions: 4.0    
    Reporter: Chris Conrad


The LinkSubmit component currently renders a JavaScript function for every LinkSubmit on the page.  This is problematic for me because I have a page which could have over 100 LinkSubmits on it (3 LinkSubmits per item with up to 50 items per page).  The current JavaScript function which is rendered looks like:

function onclick_LinkSubmit_0()
{
  var form = Tapestry.find('Form');
  
  if (form.events.onsubmit_handler())
  {
    Tapestry.find('LinkSubmit_0').value = "T";
    form.onsubmit = null;
    form.submit();
  }
}

The LinkSubmit component could, however, add a static JavaScript file which contains a single function which looks like:

function onclick_LinkSubmit(form, link)
{
  var form = Tapestry.find(form);
  
  if (form.events.onsubmit_handler())
  {
    Tapestry.find(link).value = "T";
    form.onsubmit = null;
    form.submit();
  }
}

The values of 'form' and 'link' can be determined at script processing time and the function can be executed by creating a URL which look like:

<a href="javascript:onclick_LinkSubmit('Form', 'LinkSubmit_0');">Do Something</a>

This will substantially reduce the amount of JavaScript sent to the browser on a page which includes many LinkSubmits.

[jira] Commented: (TAPESTRY-742) LinkSubmit renders overly verbose JavaScript

It would be very good, I've the same problem with LinkSubmit!

BR,

/*
Please allow a little bit nostalgia :)

Once I've created a similar extension to Tapestry. However the implementation was very QnD, so I used it only for researching reasons but not "in action" :) There were several "open questions" in it :)
It was created long ago, so nowadays dojo/etc mechanisms would probably deprecate it.

The main features were:
- a javascript library with basic functionality (inheritance, collections, etc.)
- *.jsobject.xml file for defining javascript classes with two parts
  - pure javascript class definition part
  - object creation part: this part created a new javascript representation of the serverside component by passing parameters to the constructor of its class
    This part allowed the following elements:
    - ${...} is the same as in *.script
    - $[...] converted the value to a javascript type, with converters for primitive types, strings, arrays, collections
    - $() inserted a reference to a component. This was a little bit tricky because of foreach-like renderings in Tapestry.
      So $(next:component) referenced the next (possibly) rendered instance of the component, while $(last:component) referenced the last one.
      These $() parts were translated to a valid clientside reference to the javascript representation of the given component.
- the client and server side communicated using a datasqueezer-like construct (but the clientside was able to squeeze a subset of the possible types, too, eg. primitives, collections)

It wasn't easy to implement but finally ended up in trash :)

----------------------------------------

+1 On this...I've been started to get away from defining actual functionality in .script files and more just using them as parameter passing templates...It's much more efficient in almost all scenerios.
