Configurable rendering of grid cells based on type?
I like how you can configure new renderers based on type for
BeanEditForm. Could we do the same thing with grid? Right now GridCell
checks for a block parameter, then checks for a builtin block, then
defaults to just using toString(). After checking for the override
block, it could check a configured service for a renderer based on that
type. In our system we would use it so that:
- boolean -> True/False
- Date -> Formatted with a specific, system-wide format
- BigDecimal -> Formatted as currency
- Book (custom type) -> prints the ISBN or something
