Jonathan Bond-Caron: Integrating jquery, dojo, Ext-js, YUI, tibco GI, AjaxControlToolkit, Adobe Spry

Unfortunately, there's no support for the 'interface' and even less documentation then dojo and Ext. It's only experimental at this point.

Dojo is definitely well designed and impressive for an open-source toolkit. The best way to get support is using the mailing list:
http://dojotoolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/dojo-interest

If your curious about the 'interface', you can download the files here (50mb):
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=207768

There will be a major rework of the 'interface' and a first version in SVN early 2008. Official support and documentation at http://www.openmv.com/ will be available late 2008

Hi Jonathan,

Since a few months I am developping with Dojo. Great tool, souple, it is easy to extend the widgets to your own wishes, i18n implementation is simple. I three applications with it, the last one is a multilanguage application for scientific conferences.

A big problem with Dojo is the lack of documentation. An effort is done with the last version but a lot of work is to be done yet.
Sometimes it is very difficult to integrate different widgets in the same page. If the community is very active it is not always easy to find why your program does not do what it has to do.

A pitty with the version 0.9 is that they dropped a lot of widgets like data table widgets etc... Sometime, upgrade to a new release make your application crashes without documentation. The tablewidget is back in version 1.0 but just in beta version. This make me not feeling very secure for the future.

Thus since a few weeks I was looking for another javascript framework. I tried Ext, a good looking framework, but this is the same as for dojo. The API documentation is great but a lack on working examples make it not very easy to understand.

Short or long we I would like to use this widget from dojo and this other one from ext.

So your interface seems for me to be THE interface.

A question as last : How can I test it ? Do you gives some support for it ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Roger

Jonathan: I used the dependency mappings you did for YUI to load YUI with the xdomain loader. I blogged about it here:

http://dojotoolkit.org/2007/08/29/yojo-loading-yui-dojo-loader

Instead of doing the registration step that you did with the YUI code, I converted the dojo.provide/require calls to use the file names directly.

The integration idea between projects is the stuff I really need to my project!

Although Dojo is my main framework, I started to consider dumping it for YUI and YUI-ext for the several widgets that make them powerful out of the box!

With the Dojo XD Loader, I have to reconsider again

Jonathan Keep the good work! Please push this approach to be available for all!!

Thanks

The XD builds are promising but like you mentioned, security is probably the biggest issue

I'll work YUI sometime this week

Nice work. In my talk about the Dojo XD loader:
http://tagneto.org/talks/AjaxExperienceXDomain/

I talked about standarding the dependency mapping (meaning dojo.provide/require), but I didn't go into specifics.

I was thinking that maybe something like the OpenAjax alliance (http://www.openajax.org/) could help with that? So maybe instead of wti, OpenAjax.provide, OpenAjax.require?

I'm not sure about what else they have in the OpenAjax namespace or if the OpenAjax thing is the way to go, but something to consider.

For the talk, I was trying to modify a version of the YUI modules so that they would call dojo.provide/require, but I ran out of time trying to trace down their dependencies.

It would be neat if you tracked down their dependencies, particularly with their 2.3.0 version. If you have, we can try doing an xdomain build so people could load YUI stuff from a CDN via dojo's XD loader!

Maybe we can't do the CDN thing right away but at least host an XD build somewhere so people can try it out. I might be able to provide hosting for that kind of build. If you wan to give that a try, just let me know.

Thanks for your contributions to the Dojo Toolkit!
