Status 4.2 integration? #71

Closed nathanvda closed 10 years ago

nathanvda commented 10 years ago

Hi, not entirely sure if this is the correct place, but I am curious what the status is of the migration to Extjs 4.2? I see there is a branch, is it useable?

I am starting a new project, a website to show geographical data, and I want to use extjs 4.2 and rails (and openlayers). At the moment geoext is too much for me I guess.

I am at the moment choosing between two possible alternatives: your gem/approach or the more manual approach and using the extjs4-rails gem.

What are your thoughts?

The ext42 branch is pretty usable, but still buggy in small details. I'm working on a release that should fix those bugs, a pre-release (at least) should be out before the end of the month.

nathanvda commented 10 years ago

Ok thanks, i will try it out.

nathanvda commented 10 years ago

Hi, I am at the moment pretty happy actually with the current state of the ext42 branch. Is there anything I can do to help to make this pre-release happen?

mxgrn commented 10 years ago

What's needed is to convert the rest of the Cucumber features into RSpec + Mocha specs - and fix eventual problems, should they pop up. Let me know if you feel like digging into this. Btw, I'll be deleting the ext42 branch - you can simply switch over to master.

Ok, great, I will have a look at it tonight. Yes, definitely willing to try.

You can also expect some pull requests soon: we had some translation issues in netzke-basepack.

And I ported the livesearch grid from the community gem. I think I will write a blogpost about it. My port is now not as general :) Since the community-gem is deprecated, it is better to put it in a separate gem?

Great. Concerning live search: have you seen https://github.com/netzke/netzke-basepack/blob/master/lib/netzke/basepack/grid_live_search.rb ?

nathanvda commented 10 years ago

Yes I had seen it, but in my case I needed to use a special scope to allow full text searching using postgres and textacular. So I did not immediately see/understand how I could do it with the GridLiveSearch component. But I am still learning :smile:
