ext.js + turbogears widgets == fun
Looks like somebody packaged up ext.js’s great javascript grid into a reusable turbogears widget. I’ve been using ext.js for a project, and I have to say that the grid is powerful, flexible, and easy to modify.
We’re doing some crazy drag and drop within grids, between multiple grids, and custom formated cells, and it was remarkably easy to get ext.js to do what we wanted. But, our app is very much a javascript client with a turbogears server backend, and that kind of application isn’t particularly conducive to widgets. But, it’s been great to have TurboGears automatically transform our python dictionaries, into the JSON we need for the data store
I’d love to have some better documentation of how to use turbogears and ext.js together because it really is easy and provides a fun way to build rich javascript based web clients.
