Composition
Keep the following thins in mind when determining planning the composition of Dojo widgets:
- Make sure that each widget is self-contained.
- The widget should expose public properties, methods and events. This ensures that your widget can be used reused in other widgets.
- Divide responsibility ("granularity"). In general it is better to create a few smaller widgets with a specific function than one large widget with lots of user interface elements.
- Implement the "deepest" widgets (the parts) first and work upwards towards the final functionality.
Avoid using experimental widgets as much as possible. The DojoX package was originally intended for this purpose, although some components.
- Check for existing widgets. Don’t reinvent the wheel, re-use as much as possible.
- Keep reusability in mind. Make sure your widgets can be reused in other widgets later on. Also write clear API documentation for your own widget using JSDoc.
