Grid-CustomInputs

 

A set of widgets to provide custom editors for inline editing, based on the types explored in 1.3 Type. While some widgets already exist in jQuery UI (e.g. autocomplete), most required widgets are missing or need to be heavily improved. Datepicker needs a full rewrite to be as flexible as needed for the grid. This likely affects most widgets, except accordion and tabs.

 

Relevant widgets for inline editing:

• Autocomplete for text input
• Spinner for number input
• Datepicker for dates 
• Timepicker for times (builds upon Spinner)
• Possibly a Datetime picker, review html5 datetime types to see (webshims lib could be a good reference)
• Mask for various text-based types 
• Checkbox and Radiobutton for boolean types 
• Selectmenu for selecting from a list of values 
• Editable for actual inline 

 

Of these, Selectmenu, Mask, Checkbox and Radiobutton are to be created from scratch, Datepicker to be rewritten (existing prototype), Autocomplete and Spinner polished.

 

In addition to creating and finalizing these widgets as standalone components, they need samples of integration into grid and datamodel.
