[FLOW3-general] Community-backed HTML object markup

[Adrian Föder]

Hi community,

during coding, very often I thought of the fact that I'd really like to 
have some reliable rules to markup the representation of a list, single 
view etc., (i.e. the *action*), and the model and field which is 
displayed; also taking into acount nested displays.

So, just as an example:

<div class="listAction customer">
   <f:for each="{customers}" as="customer">
     <div class="customer-record">
       <div class="customer-field field-prename">{customer.prename}</div>
       <div class="customer-field field-surname">{customer.surname}</div>
       <div class="customer-field field-projects">
         <f:for each="{customer.projects}" as="project">
           <div class="project-record"> ..... etc pp </div>
         </f:for
       </div>
     </div>
   </f:for>
</div>


Just an, as said, bad example, I'd like to see what your opinion is and 
if you maybe already use or implement such thing.

I see multiple benefits in such an approach; there are bindings to the 
real model behind and so debugging would be simpler; also the handling 
of maybe module-based css's is better possible; and you can make sure 
that a specific css class is not accidently used in another context.
And very often a specific display style of e.g. "projects" is used in 
many contexts the same way; so to say: the projects list inside a 
customer and the project list inside the Agenda view could be mostly the 
same; and deviations of it can be made with an additional action class 
selector...


What do you think?


Best,
