javascript component questions
I have created a new component based on freecalendar and inserted it into the
tapestry5-jquery tree. For those who work with that project, it is
implemented in much the same way as the google calendar component. I'm
happy with my progress, but I need to pass a lot of parameters to the
javascript code with the AfterRender parameter.
I'm thinking that I need to either make the component into an abstract class
or do some other magic to pass variables such as calendar event location
URL, headers, and whatever else needed for the initial rendering. I'm just
not sure at this point how to do that.
If anyone has some suggestions, I'd be quite happy to hear them.
Thanks!

Sorry...probably do need to be more specific. It was late last night and I
was already frustrated with it...
Lots of parameters == items that need to be specific to the page being
rendered at the time rather than common to all components of type
freecalendar. For example, each page will probably need a different event
source. A person may want to arrange the header on the calendar
differently on different pages. Different colors could be requested for
different types of events. There's a myriad of options available.
Trouble is, a lot of this needs to be set up during the afterRender portion
of the component. That basically removes the hard coding option. I have
been passing them in afterRender, and I'll need to keep doing that I'm
sure. My problem is that for each bit that is specific to the instance of
fullcalendar for that page (lets say event source for the sake of the
argument), I need to pass that information from the page to the component
so it can be included in the afterRender function.
So that's really my question in a nutshell...how do I get my parameters
passed to the component when I am not instantiating the component?

What is the problem with passing "a lot" of parameters into your javascript
in afterRender()? Maybe I'm just not sure what your specific question is.
You have several ways to pick up such values in your javascript, such as:
1. Pass them in afterRender using JavascriptSupport.
2. Hardcode them in your js
3. Make use of data attributes on associated elements, and reference
these values using jQuery's data function

Emmanuel,
This will work very well for the events, provided as you said they come
from the same location throughout the application. For my current project
they will be. Thanks!
I'd still like to figure out an easy (read: lazy programmer ;) ) way to get
the dynamic settings included in the afterRender function. I'd love to be
able to do something like
FullCalendar fc = new FullCalendar;
fc.setHeader(...);
fc.setEventLocation(...);
and so on. I still need to figure out how to get a JSONObject from a page
class sent to the component class...wasn't able to work on it last night.
Cheers,
Chris

I just read Emmanuel's reply a second time...sharing the JSONObject between
all Component instances as he has described will do pretty much just what I
was looking for without having to pass the JSONObject. Not enough coffee
yet. :) Sorry for the chatter...

Hi Chris,
At the same time, a not well-known feature of Tapestry5-jQuery. If you want
to specify a default JSONObject for your fullcalendar (that will be used
for each fullcalendar), you should contribute to the WidgetParams service
in your AppModule :
Please have a look to the AppModule of the demo website :
https://github.com/got5/tapestry5-jquery-demo/blob/master/src/main/java/org/got5/tapestry5/jquery/services/AppModule.java
This default JSON will be merged with the one that you will define as a
parameter of your component.

Thanks, François...that might solve the issue. I want to contribute this
back to tapestry5-jquery, and the easier I can make it to use the better
IMHO.
This component is created from fullcalendar (http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/).
It's a javascript utility that displays a calendar in the browser and
allows the programmer to write code to interact with it. As it comes, it
only gives enough functionality to display events (json, xml, or google
calendar with additional javascript) but it gives the hooks necessary to
allow for a good amount of customization. Exactly the component I need for
a scheduling utility.
I think I mistakenly typed freecalendar instead of fullcalendar
earlier...my apologies. :)

Hi Chris,
In order to avoid having so much makup in your tml you can generate a
JSon array in java class and pass it as property to your calendar
component parameter.
By way could you give us more details about the jQuery plugin you are using?

Re: javascript component questions

Most jQuery components can be implemented by simply extending the Widget
mixin
for example
@Import (library={"your js file"})
public Class FreeCalendar extends Widget {
}
Then in your tml file
<t:any mixins="FreeCalendar" options="JSON String of options"/>
