[TYPO3-ect] New Extension JS-Manager

[Joerg Schoppet]

Hi,

after some discussion with Steffen Kamper about a general way for
including external js-libraries, here are my thoughts about it:

The extension will be called "jsmanager". The extension on its own can
do nothing :-)

Every js-library have to be added to the ter with its own extension
(e.g. jquery, extjs)

Each extension have to implement an interface of jsmanager and have to
register itself to jsmanager.

After this, on each page, where you need it, you can include a
ts-template for jsmanager, within this there is some predefined ts-code.
jsmanager can now check each condition (saying which jslib to include
and calls a predefined (interface) method of the adequate class in the
specific js-lib-extension. the class in each js-lib-extension is
responsible for defining all the necessary script-, css-tags and
returning them to jsmanager.
After processing the config, jsmanager does the inclusing in the page-hader.

Additionally there will be perhaps a programming-interface to call the
jsmanager-functions directly within an extension.

The last step will be a backend-module, which lists all registered
js-libs and the possible config-options.


Any comments?
