The template class in the GXT toolkit provides a very simple mechanism for generating formatted HTML fragments from data objects which can be instances of ModelData or Params.
Once we apply the data to the Template object, the result is the formatted HTML interpolated with values from the provided data.
Instantiate a Template object with a string representing the desired HTML formatting and the placeholders. We will replace the Template placeholders with values using a Params object.
//Local convenience method
private String getTemplate(){
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("<p>Age: {age}</p>");
sb.append("<p>Sex: {gender}</p>");
sb.append("<p>Name: {name}</p>");
sb.append("<p>Email: {email}</p>");
sb.append("<p>Purchases: {purchases:number(\"00.00\")}</p>");
return sb.toString();
};
@Override
public void onApply() {
// Create a Template with the HTML from getTemplate...
