Shortcut for common apply/commit patterns

[dcore94]

Very often for common input fields the apply/commit edi-functions are very boilerplate. Consider the following usual pattern:

target: "input[name=value]",
apply : (e,d,i)=>{ e.value = d.value },
commit: (e,d,i)=>{ d.value = e.value }

it could be useful to have a shortcut version which could even infer the assignments from the type of the DOM Element e and from the name of the input which needs to match the name of the key to access data object d..

As an example to be reasoned about:

target: "input[name=textinput]",
bind: auto /*auto for bidirectional, auto-apply or auto-commit for monodirectional binding*/

[dcore94]

Another possibility is to make the key of object d dynamic and not dependant on the name of e:

target: "input[name=textinput]",
autobind: "key" //would resolve for a input of type text to apply : (e,d)=>{ e.value = d["key"]}, commit : (e,d)=>{ d["key"] = e.value }

Alternatives are autobind for bidirectional binding, autoapply, autocommit for monodirectional binding.
