TMS Software Blog: Extend TMS WEB Core with JS Libraries with Andrew: FlatPickr (part 2)
Summary
Beyond just making it easier to use FlatPickr in a TMS WEB Core application, the idea of this post is to get a handle on how to create a Delphi package that can include many such controls. This package can then be installed by anyone working on TMS WEB Core projects and thus get easier access to all the JS Libraries were covering in one simple step. The only things Im thinking about here are keeping the names of the options as close as possible to what is on the FlatPickr website, and ensuring that the defaults are the same. Generally speaking, the fewer bits of code that we place between the component and the actual JS library, the better, as well have less work to do to keep this implementation current as FlatPickr evolves on its own over time. All to say that while it is generally desirable to have options for automating what might seem like the drudgery of adding JS and CSS libraries manually to a Project.html file, there will likely always be scenarios where that is the best approach.
