Hi; thanks for your posts. I've got it working (though haven't
properly explored the options available to me, yet). What I did:
* Made my web-app Global implement IMonoRailConfigurationEvents and
implemented Gauthier's code snippet:
configuration.JSGeneratorConfiguration
.AddLibrary("jquery-1.2.6", typeof
(JQueryGenerator))
.AddExtension(typeof (CommonJSExtension))
.BrowserValidatorIs(typeof(JQueryValidator))
.SetAsDefault();
* Added a folder to my content directory called "js", and added jquery
and jquery.validate to this. I haven't used minified files yet; I am
using Spark macros from
http://whereslou.com/2008/10/02/very-cool-use-of-macro-and-_globalspark
to register which scripts are output. I am intending to extend this
later to create (or perhaps extend JavaScriptComponent, which I wasn't
able to make work) a component that allows me to register scripts into
a set in order, and then write them out either verbatim or minified
+gzipped, as hammett talks about in a post (http://
hammett.castleproject.org/?p=310). Closer to production, though,
probably.
* Set up validation attributes on my DTOs
* Added a typeof(myDTO) to the PropertyBag (haven't tried to see
whether I can get away with Flash). It would be rather nice if I
didn't have to do that, but could instead either have Castle figure it
out by itself, or create a type variable in my view?
* Created my forms with the FormHelper's FormTag
* Ended my forms with the FormHelper's EndFormTag
It works very nicely :-)
I have one question, however. I have an authentication-status shared
partial view that lives in my layout, and contains a form that posts
to my home-controller. However, it's possible that this sign-in form
could be rendered on a controller other than home. So how best to
furnish it with a typeof(UserAuthenticationDto) so that validation can
happen for it - in a Filter? That gets me to thinking it might be a
fun thing to introduce a TypesNeededForValidationFigurerOuterFilter
( ;-) ) that will look at the action being performed, and figure out
whether it needs to put a DTO-type into the PropertyBag, and which
type it needs to be - I suppose this might be facilitated by an
Attribute on the action that takes a type as argument....? How does
that sound?
Regards
Pete
