consumeTag

@Nonnull
public Tag consumeTag()

Consumes the current available tag for current page. If the request doesn't have the tag applicable to the page, a new tag is created.

There is a mechanism such that a tag can be passed to another page when including that page. This method is intended as a way to consume the tag passed by other page. Component developer can make use this method to get the main tag of the component regardless if there is a tag passed by other page or not.

include(Resource, Tag), include(Resource, String, Tag)

consumeLayoutResource

@CheckForNull
public Resource consumeLayoutResource()

Consumes the current available layout resource for current page. This method first attempts to return the layout resource from the options, second it will attempt to return Config.LAYOUT child node, otherwise null is returned.

This method is usually called by layout implementation to get the layout resource that can be passed by the caller.

Returns:

the resource

granite:itemscope	Property: Boolean	The itemscope attribute.
granite:itemtype	Property: String	The itemtype attribute.
granite:itemprop	Property: String	The itemprop attribute.
granite:data	Node	Each property of this node is converted into a data-* attribute. If the property value is an instance of a String, it will be interpreted as StringEL. The property having a prefixed name is ignored.

Parameters:

attrs - The attribute builder to populate to

src - The resource of the source of the config

getOptions

@Nonnull
public ComponentHelper.Options getOptions()

Returns the options passed from another page. If no options is passed, empty options is returned.

getReadOnlyResourceType

@CheckForNull
public java.lang.String getReadOnlyResourceType()

Returns the associated resource type of current resource for the purpose rendering read only version. First the granite:readOnlyResourceType property of the resource type of the current resource (the RT) is used. Otherwise it is defaulted to readonly child resource of the RT.

getReadOnlyResourceType

@CheckForNull
public java.lang.String getReadOnlyResourceType(@Nonnull
                                                              Resource resource)

getItemDataSource

@Nonnull
public DataSource getItemDataSource()
                                      throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                                             java.io.IOException

Returns:

the data source for items of the current resource

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - in case there's a servlet error while fetching data

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error while fetching data

getItemDataSource

@Nonnull
public DataSource getItemDataSource(@Nonnull
                                             Resource resource)
                                      throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                                             java.io.IOException

Returns the datasource for items of the given resource. This method can be used to fetch the items that are specified literally using Config.ITEMS subresource; or specified as datasource using Config.DATASOURCE subresource. If there is no Config.ITEMS or Config.DATASOURCE subresource, then EmptyDataSource is returned. In contrast with asDataSource(Resource, Resource), this method looks for the datasource resource of the given resource. i.e. The given resource is the parent of the items, not the datasource resource itself. The given resource is also used as the context resource when calling asDataSource(Resource, Resource) internally.

Parameters:

resource - the resource

Returns:

the data source for items of the given resource

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - in case there's a servlet error while fetching data

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error while fetching data

asDataSource

public DataSource asDataSource(@CheckForNull
                               Resource datasource)
                        throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                               java.io.IOException

Returns the datasource given its datasource resource. This method is an overload of asDataSource(Resource, Resource) with context is null.

Parameters:

datasource - the resource representing the datasource

Returns:

the datasource given its datasource resource

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - in case there's a servlet error while fetching data

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error while fetching data

asDataSource

public DataSource asDataSource(@CheckForNull
                               Resource datasource,
                               @CheckForNull
                               Resource context)
                        throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                               java.io.IOException

Returns the datasource given its datasource resource.

Parameters:

datasource - The resource representing the datasource

context - The context resource that is returned when calling SlingHttpServletRequest.getResource() at the datasource implementation. If this is null, the given datasource is used.

Returns:

null if the given datasource is null.

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - in case there's a servlet error while fetching data

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error while fetching data

getRenderCondition

@Nonnull

                                                   java.io.IOException

Returns the render condition of the current resource. This method is an overload of getRenderCondition(Resource) using the current resource. The render condition is specified by granite:rendercondition or rendercondition subresource. Contrast this with getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean), where only granite:rendercondition is checked. This method is meant for backward compatibility; otherwise it is better to use getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean) for performance. Once the transition is over, this method will have the same behaviour as getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean) with cache = false.

Returns:

the render condition of the current resource

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - in case there's a servlet error

java.io.IOException - in case there's an i/o error

                                                   java.io.IOException

Returns the render condition of the given resource. The render condition is specified by granite:rendercondition or rendercondition subresource. Contrast this with getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean), where only granite:rendercondition is checked. This method is meant for backward compatibility; otherwise it is better to use getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean) for performance. Once the transition is over, this method will have the same behaviour as getRenderCondition(Resource, boolean) with cache = false.

Parameters:

resource - the resource

Returns:

the render condition of the given resource

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - in case there's a servlet error

                                            throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
