Hi!
Helios has a pretty good documentation system ;)
My sole instance is the registry of html snippets. HTMLSnippet current is the public singleton instance.
On startup, it scans the document for any html elements with 'data-snippet="foo"' attribute and takes them off the document, remembering them in the store under the specified name. It also install method #foo into HTMLCanvas dynamically.
Every html snippet should mark a 'caret', a place where contents can be inserted, by 'data-snippet="*"' (a special name for caret). For example:
<li data-snippet='menuelement' class='...'><a data-snippet='*'></a></li>
defines a list element with a link inside; the link itself is marked as a caret.
You can later issue
html menuelement href: '/foo'; with: 'A foo'
to insert the whole snippet and directly manipulate the caret, so it renders:
<li class='...'><a href='/foo'>A foo</a></li>
For a self-careting tags (not very useful, but you do not need to fill class etc. you can use
<div class='lots of classes' attr1='one' attr2='two' data-snippet='*bar'></div>
and in code later do:
html bar with: [ xxx ]
to render
<div class='lots of classes' attr1='one' attr2='two'>...added by xxx...</div>
I am walking through the Dynamic WebDev with Seaside book and trying out the examples with Amber.
So, I am now looking into the various HTMLCanvas methods to find matches.
What is the snippet: method for?
