Moin Sebastian,

Let's go back to the apply method:

What would be the cost of allowing the modification of the apply attribute of properties?

This was my problem which lead to this thread.

Within a derived widget I wanted to override the apply method of the superclass. It turned out that there was no apply method defined.

One solution would be to allow to refine "not yet defined" attributes of a property. This would be the event and apply attribute.

Would this be possible?

Ok, there are multiple reasons. One major argument is that type changes would allow to switch types completely e.g. from check=String to check=Number for example. Most people would tend to say that this is a bad software design.

Another, more technical reason, is that all other changes than init values require a separate setter/getter(...) pair which means that we need to migrate the property defitition of the parent with the overridden settings in the derived class. For example when you change the "check", but want to keep the "nullable" and "init" values. You also need a far more complex check if the this class needs an own setter/getter pair. And there is also an overhead because you need to generate more functions.

I think we would life the best to keep it with the current implementation and the existing restrictions.

Hi Fabian,

well the limitation is simple to change in Class.js, line 1188:

            if (key !== "init" && key !== "refine") {

just remove the key !== "init" check ;-)

As far as I understand the new properties it is a limitation of the implementation, which prevents us from supporting this. I think Sebastian can tell you more about this but he won't be in office till Monday.

Best Fabian
