Component Registry

Since version 2.0.0, components do not need to be registered anymore but can be called via an alias method defined in a Ruby module like:

By default, components can be called directly like Components::Card.(title: "foo", body: "bar") which will return the desired HTML string.

If desired, you can create alias methods in order to avoid the class call syntax:

app/matestack/components/registry.rb

module Components::Registry

  def card(text=nil, options=nil, &block)
    Components::Card.(text, options, &block)
  end

  #...

end

which then allows you to call the card component like card(title: "foo", body: "bar") if the above shown module is included properly.

As this is just a plain Ruby module, you need to include it in all contexts you want to use the alias method (unlike the registry prior to 2.0.0). It's a good idea to create your own ApplicationPage, ApplicationComponent and ApplicationApp as base classes for your pages, components ans apps. In there, you include your component registry module(s) only once and have access to the alias methods in all child classes:

app/matestack/appplication:page.rb

class ApplicationPage < Matestack::Ui::Page

  include Components::Registry

end

app/matestack/appplication:component.rb

class ApplicationComponent < Matestack::Ui::Component

  include Components::Registry

end

app/matestack/application:app.rb

class ApplicationApp< Matestack::Ui::App

  include Components::Registry

end
