Best method to reuse a TextField configuration

[Casey Link <ca...@outskirtslabs.com>]

Hi,

I have a TextField repeated many times that has a certain type, validate, and class attributes set. Only the value and id changes.

What is the proper Tapestry way to prevent the repeating of all those options?

For example, if a css class changes, I want to set it in one place not a 100.

I attempted to create a component with the tml:

<html xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_3.xsd" xmlns:p="tapestry:parameter">
<t:content>
    <t:TextField t:id="input"
                 ...custom attrs here..."/>
</t:content>
</html>

And the Java:

public class CustomInput {

    @Inject
    private Environment environment;

    @Component(id = "input", publishParameters = "value")
    private TextField input;

    public String getClientId() {
        return input.getClientId();
    }
}

But this didn't work. The rendered field didn't have the type or validate attrs set.

Would this be a better job for a mixin?

Thanks,

Casey

I think the problem is
publishParameters = "value"

If you want validate and type you need
publishParameters = "value,validate,type"

Create a component with this TextField inside.
