Proposal: Scaffolding++ [adding scaffolding of field editors]

[D T-2]

Hey folks,

I have a sample implementation for increasing the power of scaffolding
to allow scaffolding of type editors.  It's still under work but you
guys might consider it worthwhile putting into 0.5 w/ minor
adjustments.  Basically, the idea is to make scaffolding something that
people could make their standard way of doing things rather than
something they use to just 'get started'.

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-756

I also cross-linked with
http://grails.org/Data+Binding+and+PropertyEditors which discusses a
proposal to address a similar (although not quite identical, imo) issue.

Anyways, I'm just posting this to the list to see what others think of
the idea.  I only just banged this up over the course of today, so...
please take that into account before any of you say "ooh, I'll put that
into my live webapp right now".

Best,

- Daiji

Actually, you make make it much clearer if you put in an example.

True. That's the result of me sending that email just b4 hitting the
sack. :) Too rushed on my part.

I started writing another comment to the JIRA bug but changed my mind.

I'm writing up a Sandbox wiki page. I'll post the URL once it's done.  
And once I complete the implementation I'll add it somewhere. I'll see
if I can do this via a plugin.

I hope the following abstract clarifies what I'm proposing:

I've seen your entry on the Wiki (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GRAILS/Scaffolding+of+field+editors) and installed the patch which I think is a really good idea.
I wondered how much work it would be to add same design pattern for Controller scaffolding.
I also wanted to be able to add a new "type" of Scaffold (simply by adding a GSP to templates\scaffolding folder).
The scenario is that I want all my domain objects to have a find page (find.gsp) as well as list. This is a page with an ajax remoteField which activates a search method on the Controller (which does a findAllBy***Like query across the domain properties). This then renders the list template (which I have been able to cut down using your implementation).

Thx, P.

oops!  I've updated that page (and the JIRA issue) to indicate that it's
been implemented as a plugin:
   http://grails.org/ScaffoldTags+Plugin

which uses the standard template-driven scaffolding to call tags that
invoke the renderer templates.

I believe the set of scaffolding templates is hardwired in the
GenerateUtils class which is called by generate-all.  We could probably
do something about that, however.

However, the set of renderers is not hard-wired, so you can do whatever
you want there, and the amount of work to generate a new type of domain
view should be a lot smaller.
