consumeTag

public Tag consumeTag()

Consumes the current available tag for current page. If the request doesn't have the tag applicable to the page, a new tag is created.

There is a mechanism such that a tag can be passed to another page when including that page. This method is intended as a way to consume the tag passed by other page. Component developer can make use this method to get the main tag of the component regardless if there is a tag passed by other page or not.

Returns:

the tag

See Also:

include(Resource, Tag), include(Resource, String, Tag)

consumeLayoutResource

public Resource consumeLayoutResource()

Consumes the current available layout resource for current page. This method first attempts to return the layout resource from the options, second it will attempt to return Config.LAYOUT child node, otherwise null is returned.

This method is usually called by layout implementation to get the layout resource that can be passed by the caller.

Returns:

the resource

See Also:

includeForLayout(Resource, Options), includeForLayout(Resource, Resource, Options)

populateCommonAttrs

public void populateCommonAttrs(AttrBuilder attrs)

The overload of populateCommonAttrs(AttrBuilder, Resource) using the current request's resource as the source.

Parameters:

populateCommonAttrs

public void populateCommonAttrs(AttrBuilder attrs,
                                Resource src)

Populates the common attributes to the given AttrBuilder.

Currently the following common properties and nodes are read and processed from the given resource:

Name	Type	Description
granite:id	Property: StringEL	The id attribute.
granite:rel	Property: StringEL	The class attribute. This is used to indicate the semantic relationship of the component similar to rel attribute.
granite:class	Property: StringEL	The class attribute.
granite:title	Property: String	The title attribute. This property is i18nable.
granite:hidden	Property: Boolean	The hidden attribute.
granite:itemscope	Property: Boolean	The itemscope attribute.
granite:itemtype	Property: String	The itemtype attribute.
granite:itemprop	Property: String	The itemprop attribute.
granite:data	Node	Each property of this node is converted into a data-* attribute. If the property value is an instance of a String, it will be interpreted as StringEL. The property having a prefixed name is ignored.

Parameters:

attrs - The attribute builder to populate to

src - The resource of the source of the config

getOptions

public ComponentHelper.Options getOptions()

Returns the options passed from another page. If no options is passed, empty options is returned.

There is a mechanism such that options can be passed to another page when including that page.

Returns:

the options passed from another page. if no options is passed, empty options is returned.

getItemDataSource

public DataSource getItemDataSource()
                             throws ServletException,
                                    java.io.IOException

Returns the datasource for items of the current resource. This is an overload of getItemDataSource(Resource) with resource is the current request resource.

Returns:

the data source for items of the current resource

Throws:

ServletException - in case there's a servlet error while fetching data

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error while fetching data

getItemDataSource

public DataSource getItemDataSource(Resource resource)
                             throws ServletException,
                                    java.io.IOException

Returns the datasource for items of the given resource. This method can be used to fetch the items that are specified literally using Config.ITEMS subresource; or specified as datasource using Config.DATASOURCE subresource. If there is no Config.ITEMS or Config.DATASOURCE subresource, then EmptyDataSource is returned. In contrast with asDataSource(Resource, Resource), this method looks for the datasource resource of the given resource. i.e. The given resource is the parent of the items, not the datasource resource itself. The given resource is also used as the context resource when calling asDataSource(Resource, Resource) internally.

Parameters:

resource - the resource

Returns:

the data source for items of the given resource

Throws:

ServletException - in case there's a servlet error while fetching data

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error while fetching data

asDataSource

public DataSource asDataSource(Resource datasource)
                        throws ServletException,
                               java.io.IOException

Returns the datasource given its datasource resource. This method is an overload of asDataSource(Resource, Resource) with context is null.

Parameters:

datasource - the resource representing the datasource

Returns:

the datasource given its datasource resource

Throws:

ServletException - in case there's a servlet error while fetching data

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error while fetching data

asDataSource

public DataSource asDataSource(Resource datasource,
                               Resource context)
                        throws ServletException,
                               java.io.IOException

Returns the datasource given its datasource resource.

Parameters:

datasource - The resource representing the datasource

context - The context resource that is returned when calling SlingHttpServletRequest.getResource() at the datasource implementation. If this is null, the given datasource is used.

Returns:

null if the given datasource is null.

Throws:

ServletException - in case there's a servlet error while fetching data

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error while fetching data

getRenderCondition

public RenderCondition getRenderCondition()
                                   throws ServletException,
                                          java.io.IOException

Returns the render condition of the current resource. This method is an overload of getRenderCondition(Resource) using the current resource. The render condition is specified by granite:rendercondition or rendercondition subresource. Contrast this with getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean), where only granite:rendercondition is checked. This method is meant for backward compatibility; otherwise it is better to use getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean) for performance. Once the transition is over, this method will have the same behaviour as getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean) with cache = false.

Returns:

the render condition of the current resource

Throws:

ServletException - in case there's a servlet error

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error

getRenderCondition

public RenderCondition getRenderCondition(Resource resource)
                                   throws ServletException,
                                          java.io.IOException

Returns the render condition of the given resource. The render condition is specified by granite:rendercondition or rendercondition subresource. Contrast this with getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean), where only granite:rendercondition is checked. This method is meant for backward compatibility; otherwise it is better to use getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean) for performance. Once the transition is over, this method will have the same behaviour as getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean) with cache = false.

Parameters:

resource - the resource

Returns:

the render condition of the given resource

Throws:

ServletException - in case there's a servlet error

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error

                                          java.io.IOException

Returns the render condition of the given resource. The render condition is specified by granite:rendercondition subresource, unlike getRenderCondition(Resource).

Parameters:

resource - The resource

cache - true to cache the result; Use it when checking render condition of other resource (typically the item resource) so that the render condition is only resolved once.

Returns:

The render condition of the given resource; never null.

Throws:

ServletException - in case there's a servlet error

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error

Parameters:

icon - the icon string

Returns:

the icon class(es) for the given icon string from the content property, or null if the given icon is null
