@TheCoder4eu Do we want to include this PR with BootsFaces 1.3.0? If so, I could run a test tomorrow evening. What's your opinion?

BTW, the PR TheCoder4eu/BootsFacesWeb#56 also belongs to this change.

@chongma Did you modify the BootsFaces.jsfdsl, too? If not, we should copy the changes into that file, too, because it generates all the boilerplate code of the component and the documentation.

@stephanrauh no, i did notice the BootsFaces.jsfdsl but wasn't sure it was being used. i just copied and edited the documentation from another component. i will take a look

[stephanrauh]

Thanks! The DSL generates the two component classes, a renderer skeleton, the *Attributes.xhtml files of the documentation, the taglib, and it even updates the ComponentsEnum class. It saves a lot of work (after installing the Xtext plugin and accepting that Eclipse is the only IDE you can use).

@chongma Awesome component! Just one attribute puzzles me. What does urlTemplate do?

[chongma]

Openstreetmap loads "tiles" which are the squares of map it shows depending on the zoom level. As it is an open platform anyone can host these tiles. So URL template allows you to set the location of the tile provider. We should probably put a note in the documentation that if you abuse the tile provider by using too much bandwidth you will get banned. And if you are a heavy user you need to get permission from the tile provider

@stephanrauh maybe we could get listed on this page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Deploying_your_own_Slippy_Map under "Embedding OSM in a CMS/framework"
