Polymer and SQLFORM

[Luis Valladares]

Hello!

I'm building a web2py site and i want to use polymer as my front-end "framework", as you may know polymer uses web elements with custom html tags, i mean, a input is something can be something like

<my-custom-input type=string size=3></my-custom-input>

I want to integrate this "feature" with the web2py SQLFORM module, after a bit of research i came with this approach, im not sure if its correct so i accept suggestion:

i've to override all the FormWidget class inside sqlhtml.py and modify all widget to generate a HTML output adapted to my custom tags, also create a custom formstyle related to polymer and maybe (and this is one of the problems i've found) create some sort of custom HTML helper for generating the HTML custom tags.

I think i miss a lot of changes needed for this to work well, so i am looking for opinions in this matter, i'm correct in my planning, or maybe there is a easier path to join SQLFORM and Polymer, or may be better to work without SQLFORM?

Thank for any help you can provide

you should simply override widget defaults (according to your own formstyle.)

As for "HTML helpers" go for TAG, which can create whatever you may need without littering the global environment.

@Luis Valladares I also like the idea of Polymer + web2py. Where you able to use both in combination? If so - do you have some example code to share on Github?

Cheers

We choose to use materializecss instead of polymer because polymer was not very stable at the time.
