Module

The silk:Module tag is used to organize the code in different files which will later be referensed by a parent application. A module could be used by multiple applications. The module can hold application and component tags.

Check the documentation on how to use modules for a detail explanation.

Tag Use

Used as a container:

<silk:Module>
   Contains: Silk page tags.
</silk:Module>

The module can hold application and component tags.

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/silk.tld" prefix="silk" %>
<%@page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"%>
<silk:Module >

    ... silk:Page component

    ... silk:DataProvider components

  <silk:JScode>
    ... Java Script code here
  </silk:JScode>

  <silk:JQcode>
    ... JQuery code here
  </silk:JQcode>

</silk:Module >

The parent application will use the <jsp:include> tag under the silk:Screen tag to reference the module.

<silk:App>

  <silk:Screen>
    <jsp:include page="moduleFile1.jsp" flush="true" />
    <jsp:include page="moduleFile2.jsp" flush="true" />
  </silk:Screen>

  <silk:JScode>
    ... Java Script code here
  </silk:JScode>

  <silk:JQcode>
    ... JQuery code here
  </silk:JQcode>

</silk:App>
