GWT Contributors -
I drafted a proposal for a new pattern that the GWT team will use to replace
existing GWT widgets with newer, shinier widgets. The proposal hits on the
major pain points that users have with existing widgets:
- Replace the styles of a widget instance
- Replace the DOM structure of a widget instance
- Reskin an entire GWT app (DOM and/or styles)
- Allow third parties to provide skins
- Isolate CSS code for each widget
- Dead strip CSS code that is not used within the app
- Separate presenter logic from DOM view
- Offer an identical Cell equivalent of every (most) new widgets
- Shared code between Cell and Widget
- Expand Cell library
Please take a look at the design doc and let me know what you think:
