response.layout (new feature just for scaffold app)?

[Mirek Zvolsky]

What do you think about this?

I made PR, but I don't know if this is good idea or completly bad one.

https://github.com/web2py/web2py/pull/1544

Of course, it must be used with additional settings inside model used in custom view,

like

<button class = "{{=response.css.mainbutton}}"></button>

where

response.css.mainbutton = 'btn red'                # for stupid

response.css.mainbutton = 'w3-btn w3-red'    # for w3

Regardless of your decision I want find some method how to experiment with different css frameworks (bootstrap vs stupid vs w3 vs ?),

this could help me a little.

But maybe it exists much better solution.

Because it is just in scaffolding app, I will have no problem if you decide reject this, because everybody can implement this yourself.

I mean just it would be nice to find some standard way how to do things.

Just to further clarify Massimo's comment from Github, if you have:

{{extend response.layout}}

the view cannot be compiled because the value of response.layout will not be known at compile time (only at run time). I don't think we want this pattern to be the default in the scaffolding app (though it may be appropriate in special cases).

Yes, thanks.

Please reject the PR.
