Hi all!
I need a quick help to better understand how to read module config when
I want to have structured configuration data like
[everything is under myModule / config]
- logos
- logo1
- path = "/logos/logo1.jpg"
- displayName = "logo1"
- width = "400"
- height = "300"
- logo2
- path = "/logos/logo2.jpg"
- displayName = "logo2"
- width = "200"
- height = "150"
- logo3
- path = "/logos/logo3.jpg"
- displayName = "logo3"
- width = "400"
- height = "300"
I'm going to build a new control called "imagePicker".
The idea is to let the authors to select images from a predefined set.
Image set is defined using configuration.
Having a look into source code, I've found how to use custom module
config, and it seems that there are 3 major use cases:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A) Simple config
There is a simple config (String siteLiveUrl = "http://www.google.com";)
Configuration:
[Node Data] siteLiveUrl (Type = String)
Java: get module instance and call getter method.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
B) Collection config
A collection of string, e.g. Collection jsFiles with 3 children.
Configuration
[Content Node] jsFiles
- [Node Data] file1 = "mootools.js"
- [Node Data] file2 = "prototype.js"
- [Node Data] ...
Java: using an iterator I can retrive stored values.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
C) Structured config
Nested Structured This is not so clear...
[Content Node] grandfather
- [Content Node] father
- [Content Node] child
- [Node Data] property1 = "a"
- [Node Data] property2 = "b"
Can you quick explain me? Thanks so much..
Matteo
