Petclinic (Java pet store) sample application with HtmlFlow

[damir78]

Hi @fmcarvalho

thank you for you template engine. Very interesting approach.

Can you provide a standard example Petclinic implemented with "login-registration" (spring security) ? PETCLINIC

The developer need to know how to implement the standard functionality with HtmlFlow.

I like your suggestion! In the meanwhile I am overwhelmed! I still have an HtmlFlow release in progress and a new feature to include, regarding another open Issue.

I will try to address this Issue on next week.

Thanks for your feedback.

@damir78 We have provided in github.com/xmlet/spring-petclinic
a standard implementation of the sample Spring-based pet clinic web application integrated
with HtmlFlow views.

We have replaced the Thymeleaf template engine with HtmlFlow.

This project defines templates as first-class functions and exploit all the Java language features
and suppress auxiliary Spring infrastructures, such as ModelAndView, ViewResolver and others.
Thus, we removed from the unit tests all validations regarding these mechanics.

It will be interesting to have a specific spring ViewResolver for HtmlFlow that deals with errors in spring and allows more assertions in unit tests. I will open an issue for that. For now, I don't have enough knowledge to develop that.

The most consuming task regarding the translation of the Thymeleaf templates to HtmlFlow is already done graceful to the new Flowifier tool provided since release 3.4 of HtmlFlow. I think those new sample HtmlFlow views for pet clinic will give a big effort to anyone starting with HtmlFlow.
