Refactor bridge-base so that it will allow bridges to extend widgets -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-13550 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-13550 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Enhancement Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component Affects Versions: 5.0.0.Alpha3 Reporter: Lukáš Fryč This will allow bridges to extend widget API and make it more natural for JSF users, e.g.: Editor is now: {code} $.widget('rf.editorBridge', $.rf.bridgeBase, {code} but we want: {code} $.widget('rf.editorBridge', $.rich.editor, {code} On multiple inheritance in jQuery Widget Factory: https://forum.jquery.com/topic/how-to-extend-a-widget-factory-widget-with... The way of extending API should be designed in that way that user calls e.g.: {code} #{r:component('editor')}.setValue(); {code} but editor has (or rather should have) only a method which is named in jQuery Widget Factory style: {code} data('editor').value() / data('editor').value(newValue) editor('value') / editor('value', newValue) {code} So, we want bridge to add the setValue/getValue API: {code} $.extend(widget), { setValue: ..., getValue: ...}; {code}
