How to include style for a component composed by other components
Locked
 
|
Hi,
Here is what I would like to do with my apllication: - I have a root component composed by several components. If I understand well how to do that, I just define a 'children' method wich define the subcomponents of this root component. I can not define a "renderContentOn:" method in the root component, but only in the subcomponents. Am I right?
- Therefor, I can specify some CSS Classes or Ids to the subcompenent but not for the whole root component. Imagine I want a specific background color for my root component and inside him, a specific background colour for each subcomponent (so that between each of them we see the 'root colour'). How can I do that?

No, your root component can have a #renderContentOn: method. The
default behaviour if there isn't one is to simply render each of the children in order, but I'd say more or less nobody relies on that behaviour. In your renderContentOn: method, you simple do "html render: childComponent" wherever you want one of the children rendered (and yes, you should return them from #children also).

Thank you. Now I have another question:)
If I have subcomponents (in my root component ) that I render only in specific conditions (when the user press a button for example), should those components always figure in the children method?
Or should they be added in the children only when they are rendered? In general, what is the comon solution to deal with this kind of problem (render components in specific conditions) ?

Either is probably fine. In general, it would be *better* to arrange for only the active sub-components to be in #children (all #children are given the opportunity to add stylesheets, updateUrl:, etc. and you may not want inactive components to do that) but I'd say it's a common pattern to return all the children that you *might* render.
