Which effects library should I integrate with GWT?

Question

I am wondering if someone made a comparison between the various options. So far, I am inclined to use Moo.fx, because downloading prototype.js just to use scriptaculous seems a bit. Does this make sense? Are there any other effect libraries worth trying? Thanks.

Answer 1

I found a viable alternative to the recommended JS libraries - the native GWT Java library called GWT-FX , developed by Adam Tacy. Some of its functions include built-in effects (Fade, Slide, Highlight), types of physics transitions (linear, ease in / out, elastic) and the ability to create custom effects by defining CSS rules or “properties” (declarations).

Check out the google wiki and / or demo for more information.

Answer 2

Smart GWT has interesting effects, especially for simulating desktop elements. I pass ShowCase: Smart GWT Showcase

Answer 3

Ext gwt

Answer 4

I am using gwt-query , which is the jquery clone for gwt.

if you already know that jquery is a natural choice. if not, the learning curve for some simple effects is pretty fast (many examples on the project website).

Answer 5

I participated in testing the VisualFox-FX library that I am using now instead of the gwt-fx previously used in my project. VisualFox-FX supports javascript and CSS3 animations and has many pre-created effects. It also allows you to combine many effects to create the “complex” one you need.

Answer 6

moo.fx or Rico should do the job ...

Answer 7

I would recommend jquery . It is small, accessible from Google as an ajax API, and its speed.
