Dojo 1.8 / 1.9 on Zend Framework 1

Wednesday, May 15. 2013

I'm a big Dojo fan. Its loading system makes it really fast on front-end. Also Dojo integrates well with Zend Framework.

ZF 1 is being phased out, but I haven't found the time to migrate into version 2 yet. Meanwhile Dojo / Dijit / Dojox will get updates, but they're not being compensated into ZF 1.

Here is my Zend Framework 1 patch to make Dijit components AMD-loading compatible. It makes Zend Framework Dijit-modules to use the slash-notation in paths. Especially in Dojo 1.9 using dots will yield errors like:

mixin #1 is not a callable constructor.

or

base class is not a callable constructor.

The errors vary depending of what you're calling. Pretty much your JavaScript ceases to execute. The problem comes from the fact that Dijit does not function exactly the same way it used to do before 1.9.

Failing example:

<div data-dojo-type="dijit.MenuSeparator"></div>

Working example:

<div data-dojo-type="dijit/MenuSeparator"></div>

The difference is minimal, but makes everything tick again.

Seems pretty incomplete. What about data-dojo-props, data-dojo-id, etc.? What about all other dijit components?

If you need data-dojo-props, data-dojo-id and other dijit components you can easily add them yourself. I'm sure you get the idea from my patch. My idea was not to complete all possible locations and offer you a definite fix. I did what I needed in my project. Last version of ZF1 is from March 2013 anyway, it looks abandoned already. An upgrade to ZF2 would sound like a good idea for both of us.
