I am trying to wrap my head around when I should be creating new views vs. new widgets vs. new view types. Right now, I am trying to create a list of objects where I want the list to be unordered with each item in the list just displaying the object's title and a couple of other fields next to each other. Is the proper way to do this to just use the datalist widget and write a view for it, or to create a custom widget that displays the items the way I want them to be displayed in render-widget-body? I might want to later add some filtering options to this list - should this filter be it's own widget that I mixin to my listing widget? I guess in general, I am still unclear about when to use views and when to write a custom widget since the render- widget-body method for widgets is so powerful and it often seems like I can just do anything I want to in there (in which case, why ever use a view?). Should I ever be writing new view types?
Additionally, I noticed that if I try to create a view that is any type other than sequence or table, datalist doesn't seem to work - why is that? Are there view-type specific implementations of methods in there that I am missing? Thanks!
