Hello, I'm thinking about creating JavaScript library for more seamless embedding Wicket components and pages into external HTML pages. Use case: there is Wordpress site and it's needed to embed few components into corresponding pages. Your advice is needed!
There are few options to do that: 1) IFRAME. It's the most easiest way, but there are some disadvantages: problems with SEO, vertical stretching, usability and etc. 2) Natural embedding through "document.write'. There are also some disadvantages: styles and scripts namespaces, security and etc. But nevertheless second option looks for me pretty interesting. Please stop me if you think otherwise. Logic of embedding: 1) User ebbedd special JavaScript library. For example by snippet: "<script src="http://mywicketsite/wicket-exporter.js";></script>" 2) User "binds" local element id to some Wicket Component. For example: WicketExporter.bind("elementId", "com.mypackage.MyComponent', attrsAsJson); 3) The library "renders" first all required Wicket scripts, libraries and present required element first as "dummy element". 4) Through Wicket Ajax Library invoke special "page" which returns AjaxRequestTarget which replace "dummy element" with required one. Your thoughts? After marrying VueJS and Wicket (https://github.com/OrienteerBAP/vuecket) I'm sure that it's possible, but, probably, I don't see some obvious obstacles.
