AbstractWraplet vs AbstractDependentWraplet

Use AbstractWraplet when:

• you wrap a single DOM node,
• you don't need dependencies,
• you want to add a lifecycle to a single DOM node,
• you want to create a small component like: input, button or output.

Use AbstractDependentWraplet when:

• component has an internal structure,
• you need dependencies,
• you want to declaratively search for child elements,
• you want to automate children's lifecycle management.
