jQuery Answer to Dojo Widget infrastructure

I have worked a lot with Dojo in the past and really liked the widget infrastructure that it provides. You can easily separate code and html content, its nicely linked with the require-system used by dojo and last but not least you are given a builder that compresses all and everything into a single small file.

For a new project I would like to use jQuery and I am curious what widget/template/builder infrastructure you could use. I found some libraries here and there but I did not really get an impression of how a whole "stack" could look like.

I am looking forward to your suggestions!

Widget factory is your answer. http://wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/12138135/Widget-factory

WIth jQuery1.7 supporting Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD), HTML template can be easily supported by "text" and isRender http://www.roughlybrilliant.com/jsrender_json_apis_and_jquery_mobile

Pseudo Code:

define(["jquery", "text!templates/myTemplate.html"], function ($, myTemplate) {
    $.widget( "namespace.myWidget", $.mobile.listview, {
    ...
    });
});

Try JavaScriptMVC.

The essential component of this package is jQueryMX that provides a basic class framework with models, views (that use templates) and controllers.

Another part of the framework, StealJS, gives you dependency management and build tools that you need.

I'd recommend Backbone http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/, it a good MVC framework too.
