Hi all,
Pectin 0.8 has finally been released and contains quite a number of
additions and improvements. Most notably the new release includes:
* Binders now works on any Value/ListModel and not just with
FormModels.
E.g. binder.bind(MutalbeValueModel<T>).to(HasValue<T>) // or
to(ValueTarget<T>) or ParameterisedCommand<T> etc.
* Binder also support binding to HasText & HasHTML
* binder.bind(ValueModel<T>).toTextOf(HasText)
*
binder.bind(ValueModel<T>).toHtmlOf(HasHTML).withFormat(Format<T>);
* And support show/hide/enable/disable directly
* binder.show(UiObject).when(ValueModel<Boolean>)
* binder.hide(Element).when(ValueModel<Boolean>)
* Bean binding now supports nested property paths. I.e. You can now
go:
fieldOfType(String.class).boundTo(provider, "address.postCode");
or
ValueModel<String> postCode =
provider.getValueModel("address.postCode", String.class);
* UiCommands have been improved and include new exception handlers.
* New support for computed models outside of forms e.g. ValueModel<T>
v = Functions.computedFrom(ListModel<S>).using(Reduce<T,S>)
* Interceptors now have thier own package
* New InterceptedValueModels that use the above.
There's quite a lot more to the above changes and you can read the
