Granite.author. overlayManager

The overlay manager includes the following and non-exhaustive list of responsibilities:


  • Instantiate and initialize the Granite.author.Overlays

  • Influence all the Granite.author.Overlays at once

  • Position all the the Granite.author.Overlays at once

Overlays are created out of the Granite.author.Editables (which are stored in Granite.author.editables)


This Granite.author.ui.Overlays are visual interfaces between the user and the underlying content


The overlay manager broadcasts cq-overlay-* events informing a given user interaction (hover, click, etc.) occurred on an overlay


Other modules could then listen to those events; like for instance Granite.author.selection
