Hi ... I have started a new project to bind CakePHP and ExtJS together. I've been using CakePHP for the last few years and found that the further you push your projects into the Web 2.0 / heavy Ajax domain, the more difficult it gets to keep track of all the html / javascript dependencies you need for your site to work.
ExtJs handles all this very nicely, it pushes ALL of the user interface creation onto the browser ... so the V from MVC purely lives on the client side. All the business logic like data validation is of course still handled by Cake. I've written a lengthy blog entry on how to use CakeXT (which consists of a Cake Helper and an extended Ext class) including a demo of the system. The cool part really is, that you don't need any further configuration of Ext. Add a new field to your database and it will automatically appear in your view. The blog entry can be found at http://blog.mykita.com/2009/08/introducing-cakext-create-slick-single-page-guis-with-cakephp-and-extjs/ and the project lives at http://cakext.mykita.com/trac. Since this project is still very young I'd love to hear what you think about it ... for sure there's plenty of room for improvements :) Wirtsi --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
