Ideas about reducing code length, JS size(loading time) in GWT, GXT, SmartGwt etc

Let's make brainstorm about "What could we do to reduce code size in GWT, GXT, SmartGWt etc.?"

For Example; To use a button;

Button b = new Button();
b.setText("Ok");
b.setListener(this);
b.setEnabled(false);

Button b2 = new Button();
b2.setText("Ok2");
b2.setListener(this);
b2.setEnabled(false);

But we could a pattern like factory to create button.

public static createButton(String name, Listener listener, boolean enable){
    Button b = new Button();
    b.setText("Ok");
    b.setListener(this);
    b.setEnabled(false);
}

Button b = createButton("ok",this, false);
Button b2 = createButton("ok2",this, false);

For more buttons I think code size really shows difference, What do you think about this example? Or have you any idea like this?

Solution

  • If your are developing aplications with GXT, and your application's language is different from English. You can define locale from application but in that case compiler generates one English JS and one your locale JS. To avoid this and reduce the compile time. You can replace your locales messages content from com\extjs\gxt\ui\client\messages\XMessages.properties instead of using com\extjs\gxt\ui\client\messages\XMessages_it.properties
