Hello,
I started writing an Accordion component today to try out using the
following sort of pattern;
<t:accordion>
<p:itemFirst>Some content..</p:itemFirst>
<p:itemAnother>Some more content..</p:itemAnother>
</t:accordion>
So I specify PropertyOverrides in Accordion.java:
@Parameter(value = "this", allowNull = false)
@Property(write = false)
private PropertyOverrides overrides_;
In order to pick up on the names of the overrides I loop through
ComponentResources.getInformalParameterNames() and pick up anything prefixed
with 'item'.
I then loop over these names in the tml and use the delegate component which
gets its block from PropertyOverrides.getOverrideBlock(itemname).
This works nicely - whether or not it would be better to explicitly,
manually pass in the list of override block names as a parameter to the
component is another question; I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts
regardless.
Now, I'm most interested in a scenario where I want to add very similar
items to my accordion via a loop. The number of items to be added is unknown
to me, depends on user input. So I'm looking for something that would
conceptually boil down to the following in a tml:
<t:accordion>
<t:loop source="itemnames" value="itemname">
<p:item (with name, itemname)>
<t:somecomponentthatvariesslightlyasweloop params="params" />
</p:item (with name, itemname)>
</t:loop>
</t:accordion>
Of course I could just resort to using my Accordion's front-end CSS classes,
that way I could just loop through and p:item would become some indented,
repeated, boilerplate divs with class accordion-item, accordion-item-title,
accordion-item-content... but it would be way nicer to do this in as above.
Thanks again!
