Hi
I have been using hunchentoot for the last two months and I have created a DB-Grid widget for myself. I pass relevant info in through parameters like table name and columns to display and the widget generates a html grid with paging, edit/delete and search functionality.
My lisp experience however is limited and my widget is feeling more and more clunky as the functionality grows. I would like to ask the experts how they would structure/design such a widget using hunchentoot (cl-who + postmodern).
I was thinking that such a widget might benefit others as well and others might have widgets that I might find useful. If we all use our own designs thow the resulting code might end up being to diverse to support. I would also not like to have to use a whole other framework on top of hunchentoot unless it came from the hunchentoot community and/or was supported by them. I would like the widgets to be as close as possible to hunchentoot to make them small, light and independant.
Would it be feasible to set up a guideline/specification for hunchentoot widgets in general and widgets dealing with data-binding specifically? This way we could share widget among each other based on some standard that is documented and "trusted".
Regards
