Tag: <jinn:module/>

Abstract

An especially powerful tag, the module tag is used to describe a component binding for invocation and is best used in conjunction with several nested <jinn:component/> tags. The output of the module will be inserted in the place of the tag unless the noRender attribute has ben set to true. A full discussion of creating modules and how they work is left to the section which describes modules. Here I will just describe the tags and how they relate to the information in the section about modules.

Attribute - name

Setting the name allows for future reference to the created module via the <jinn:render/> tag. If you do not provide a name then a unique name will be generated when the object is created.

Attribute - noRender

By setting this to true you prevent output from occurring at the location of the <jinn:module/> tag. This allows output to be delegated until an appropriate <jinn:render/> tag or {jinn:render} embed is found.

The following example shows how to use the <jinn:module/> tag. See the section about <jinn:component/> tags for details about nested tags..

Example:

<jinn:module name="displayNews">
    <jinn:component type="data"
        name="loader"
        source="//InterJinnWebsite/modules/news/mysqlLoader.php"
    />
    <jinn:component type="logic"
        name="manager"
        source="//InterJinnWebsite/modules/news/manager.php"
    />
    <jinn:component type="render"
        name="render"
        source="//InterJinnWebsite/modules/news/dhtmlPopup.php"
    />
</jinn:module>
