Paul,
 
Interesting note you make there. Maybe Tacos should indeed come with the different versions of the dojo toolkit and load only the applicable version at run time. This should involve building some kind of dependancy systems, but as Tacos is now really centering around dojo we'll probable see the question popping up more often.
 
I think that this would really be a cool feature for beta 1. It would at the very least remove one of main arguments against Tacos, which is the massive _javascript_ loading and downloading. Just my $0.02.
 
Kind regards,
Dennis Fleurbaaij

Subject: Re: [Tacos-devel] Any alternatives to the bloated kitchen sink dojo?

Maybe I didn't make it sufficiently clear, but I *did* try one of their prebuilt packages -- the "ajax" distribution -- and it didn't work.

The issue seems to be that the tacos components require a bunch of dojo packages like dojo.fx.html and dojo.widgets, even if I'm not actually doing any effects.

Is there a way to manage or disable these dependencies...?

Cheers,

Paul

You'll have to probably checkout dojo from subversion, or try one of their pre-built packages. It's not very hard to do, but does require a little bit of intellectual investment. (Mainly just passing the right command-line arguments to their ant build script, it's pretty easy if you look at the ant build file or help options).

I haven't sat down and made a tacos only dojo build yet, but I hope to soon. Dojo has plenty of documentation on this in their wiki already I think though. http://dojo.jot.com

Dojo is massive. It slows down page load/rendering time, and

I'm using AjaxDirectLink and AjaxForm. That's it. I don't need (or
want) any visual effects, much less the fancy client-side word
processor and self-cleaning toaster oven functionality that comes
with Dojo. I mean, it's all impressive, but I don't need it. Just Ajax.

The Tacos docs imply that I may be able to use a lighterweight
distribution of Dojo, or even another library altogether through
Hivemind config. However, the docs don't explain how to do this. Just
dropping in the "Ajax" distribution of dojo doesn't work....

Anybody tried this? Any hope for keeping my app lean and mean?

Cheers,

Paul
