We are using Editors a lot. And they are coll (at least much cooler
than it was before). But they are still far way from full data binding
as shown in Knockout.js (or as it's done in Silverlight). I'm not a
fan of Silverlight and hope that GWT would remove all this "plug-ins"
soon, but watching GWT and Silverlight groups working is parallel in
out company - I could definitely say that Silverlight data-binding
style gives huge advantage and removes a lot of extra code.
GWT with Editors support "WinForms style" of binding, where each form
could be bind to the object and then editors values would be bounded
to properties of that object. In Knockout.js (and WPF and Silverlight)
I could bind ANY property to the values of binding object (that is
called context in that case) and get NotifyPropertyChnage support. For
example I could have panel (for example loading indicator), which
visibility is controlled by IsBusy property (get and set in Java).
Setting this property to false and true will automatically hide and
show the panel. Many more use cases could be shown...
Please check Knockout.js demo for more examples...
Is there are any plans to do the same in GWT?
