Hey Daniel,

I have a few thoughts about this. I think maybe the best solution is to create a few convenience classes in Errai UI that handle wrapping Panels for use in other objects, but yes, I did find something that I think will help.

Could you just do something like this?

@DataField
private HTMLPanel list = new HTMLPanel("ul", "");

...
list.add(new ListItem());

Also, could I ask you to put this into a JIRA so the entire team can see this and keep track of ideas?

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ERRAI

I think the problem you are running in to is that you want to template an LI, but you don't want to actually implement an LI widget? I think I'm still missing a few details, sorry for being obtuse.

Also, perhaps you could ask in the #errai channel on IRC.freenode.net, I am trying to get the team to monitor the dev list more, but for now, most discussion happens on IRC. If nothing else, we can discuss on JIRA.

Yes, I see your point. Let me think about that.

Hey Lincoln,

don´t worry about that! I think we are all busy and such a response timeframe is absolutely normal ;)

Unfortunatly your example is not 100% solving my problem. The solution assumes, that the UL is a subcomponent of the template.

What I want to is the following:
-----------------------------------------
UL.html:

<ul class="super special">
<li class="class">1</li>
        <li>2</li>
</ul>
----------------------------------------
UL.java:

@Templated
public class UL extends Composite {
…

public void addLI(LI li) {
SOME_MAGIC_TO_ADD_LI_TO_UL(li);
}
…

}

I could solve the problem by surrounding the UL with a div as a temp. workaround. But If I then try to template an LI element, then I would run into:

<ul>
<div>
<li>…</li>
</div>
<div>
<li>…</li>
</div>
….
</ul>

I think that this is not a solution we all want for these kind of scenarios. I hope this example made it a little bit more clear what I am trying to do.

Regards,

Daniel

Hey Daniel!

Sorry for the late reply - busy weekend :) I think this example shows how to do what you want to do.

Let me know if it doesn't!

Hey Lincoln,

I hope you are up well and had a nice time while I was off because of my holiday.

I started playing around with Errai-UI and one question came up to my mind:
I am building a Component with the @Templated mechanism. This all works fine so far(GREAT WORK!).
What I am now trying to do is to dynamically add Children to this template. Is this somehow possible? I saw that I can access the template widget by casting getWidget() to TemplateWidget, but I couldn´t find an appropriate add(..) method :( .
Would be cool if this could be done somehow.

Hope I was clear enough :)

Regards,

Daniel
