Supler: complex web forms, not so complex
Supler has a very focused set of functionality:
a Scala DSL for defining forms, generating JSON form description, applying values to backing objects and running actions & validations on the backend
a Javascript HTML form renderer, automatically-generated client-side validations, form templating and automatic reloading
You can use Supler with any Javascript frontend and Scala/Java backend framework, ORM layer, etc. The software stack is left entirerly to the developer.
The presentation will be entirely live coding. We will create a simple form-based application from scratch and gradually introduce various Supler features. At the same time, we will explain what approach Supler takes and how Supler solves some of the problems faced when creating a form-based applications.
