Actions

Actions define targets for form submits. The body of an action contains statements See action code.

Example:

define page edituser(u : User) {
  form { 
    "Edit this user"
    label("Name:"){ input(u.name) }
    label("Group:){ input(u.group) }
    submit saveUser() {"save"}
  }
}
action saveUser() {
  u.save();
}

Inline Action

Actions may be declared inline with the submit element

Example:

define page edituser(u : User) {
  form { 
    "Edit this user"
    label("Name:"){ input(u.name) }
    label("Group:){ input(u.group) }
    submit action{u.save();} {"save"}
  }
}

Event Action Triggers

Submits for actions may be declared as properties on template elements, using the same DOM events as for Javascript, such as onclick, onblur, onkeyup (http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/domobjevent.asp).

Example:

define page edituser(u : User) {
  form { 
    "Edit this user"
    label("Name:"){ input(u.name) }
    label("Group:){ input(u.group) }
    image("images/save.png")[onclick := action{u.save();}]
  }
}
