Hey Benjamin, I haven't thought it through 100% yet, but essentially I'm thinking along the lines of dynamically including javascript based on naming conventions (pairing with the similarly named view script). I'm also thinking of doing the same sort of thing when including various classes that might require javascript files of their own.
I imagine I will dynamically add them to the javascript stack in ZF if they (they being a .js file with a matching path or name) exist in the expected location. Then I think we will override the default action for printing out the script tags and minify/compress the scripts. The questions remaining are: 1) where to store the js file (does it make sense for them to reside in the same directory as the view script with the same name but a .js extension or in a seperate js folder with matching directory structure... same sort of idea for the classes) 2) where to store reusable JS code files that aren't tied to any specific view or class 3) where to implement the dynamic inclusion of js files (view helper?) I will take a lot of this thinking to our in-house ZF expert as I'm more of a top stack guy. Any suggestions would be great.
