Introduction

In continuation of the previous article LINK ME I'll focus this time on the shadow element <forEach>.

Some background

The intention behind <forEach> are similar to those of the <apply>. Several historically evolved mechanisms to repeat UI components with their own specific behavior and limitations needed a unified abstraction to become more versatile and layout neutral (no additional DOM elements) at the same time.

Let's look at what's been there before:

  • special attribute: "forEach" LINK ME
  • component specific (grid/listbox/combobox/tabbox) with ListModel LINK ME
  • MVVM generalized children-binding LINK ME


<forEach> usages

static usage (index, array, collection)

dynamic usage (ListModel)

Adding templates

with dynamic templates

control from java code (MVC)
