Liferay Faces Project News - July 2014
The Liferay Faces team has been hard at work on the new Liferay Faces Showcase which demonstrates the new JSF components we are developing. Many of the components utilize Liferay's AlloyUI technology (which is based on YUI3 and Twitter Bootstrap).
Component Design Features:
Stay tuned for a technology preview in the coming weeks!
Liferay Faces is an umbrella project that is comprised of several sub-projects. In order to make it easier to identify which components are associated to a sub-project, we decided to simplify the Facelet Tag Library namespaces:
Back in January of 2014, Liferay's Bruno Basto became a contributor to our team by helping us develop a code generator for AlloyUI JSF components.
Since then Kyle Stiemann has made the code generator more robust which has strengthened the overall quality of the software. Kyle has also developed JSF components like alloy:button, alloy:commandButton, alloy:icon, alloy:inputDate, and alloy:panelGroup.
Vernon Singleton has developed JSF components like alloy:outputText, alloy:outputRemainingChars, alloy:selectOneRadio, alloy:selectStarRating, alloy:selectThumbRating, and alloy:accordion.
I've been working on the Showcase portlet itself, and also developing components like alloy:inputSourceCode, alloy:tabView, etc. Working on the Showcase has been lots of fun because it is built with Liferay Faces.
Again, stay tuned for our technology preview in the coming weeks!
