Description
A generic AJAX paragraph is currently being developed. The paragraph retrieves content and data from any workspace and displays it on the site.
To do:
- Find typical AJAX usage examples on the Web. What problems is this technology being used to solve?
- How can AJAX be used in a CMS context?
- What Magnolia tasks can be made easier with AJAX? The mechanism can also be used in AdminCentral, not only on Web pages. The data source (workspace) for the paragraph is configurable.
- List findings in this ticket or create a new documentation page under paragraph reference.
- Find 3-4 illustrative and meaningful examples that we can use in the eventual documentation.
The paragraph ships with a predictive text input showcase. In the example, a page has a contact search text box. User types a few letters of a contact's name into the box such as "Jo". The box turns into a dropdown list, displaying matching contact names from the data workspace such as "John Smith, Jonathan Wyles, Annie Johnson" etc. User selects a contact from the list. A standard contact paragraph is rendered below the box, displaying the selected contact's details.
