Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Proposal for JavaScript

[Dave Hall]

Hi Kai,

After our meeting last week, I realised that there was a real need for
better js support in the api.  At the moment the phpgw architecture does
not fully support it.

While travelling to Frankfurt to get my flight home, I put my laptop to
work (Frozen Bubbles got a little boring), and coded a new js class for
the api.  Here is a run down of the class.

Features:
* Search for js packages
* Generate basic js - atm alert and confirm popups (with lang support)
* Add header js
* Add on(Un)Load js as attributes of the body tag

The idea is that we adopt a js architecture using the following conventions:
app/js/package - app specific js
phpgwapi/js/package - more generally useful js

package == collection of classes

The search function makes it possible to move a "js package" from an app
to the api, without any disruption.

The package dir makes it easy to avoid filename conflicts and simply
drop in upstream updates to files.

Anyway food for thought - please comment, I want to commit this soon, I
am just running it through it's final paces atm.

Cheers

Dave
