Dynamic Web Development with Seaside

12.8Summary

In this chapter we have seen how to embed components to build up complex functionality. In particular, we have learned:

  • To embed a component in another one, the parent component should just answer the component as one of its children. Its children method should return the direct children components.
  • Each component may render its immediate children in its own render method by calling various methods and possibly the render: method.
  • A component may be reused with decorations. Decorations are components which add visual aspects or change component behavior.
