Hi,
I am trying to make something like this:
I want to be able to switch dynamically components (base on some variables) in few places (on single site) and i don't want to use conditionals.

My idea:

I want to have component which extends for example WOString and take one binding which is dictionary with specific for sub-class bindings. For example for WOString it will be dictionary with key = value and valueForKey = "SomeText" but I don't know how to replace associations in super constructor.

You are probably better off just making a stateless WOComponent that wraps a single WOString. It will be easier to deal with than trying to subclass WOString. The dynamic elements are not designed to be easily sub-classed. You won't be sacrificing much by using a WOComponent and they are easier to work with.



I want use WOSwitchComponent and i need components with the same api - MyWOString and MyWOText will have same binding (dictionary) and due to this I will be able to inject different kinds of components.

Any advice would be great.

You can make a WOComponent subclass to handle your new API and then subclass it and wrap each dynamic element you need.
