Views and tabs

Views and tabs are stored under Resources/public/js/components. A view is a javascript-component which gets registered in combination with a route.

Main-views

Essentially you’re free to render and do whatever you want in a view-component. Yet you’ll most often find yourself doing the following things with a view-component.

  1. Using the header-hook to get a neat little header rendered into your view component

  2. Writing methods which implements behaviour which stays the same over all tabs

  3. Communicating with your tab-components via events.

Tab-views

When using the header-hook you’ll also have the possibility to register tabs. Tabs are nothing more and nothing less than again javascript-components. The files for the tab-components get created in sub-folders of the main-view. So lets say we have a main view under Resources/public/js/components/list. After adding a details-tab and a settings tab, the structure in the list folder looks the following

  • main.js - This is the main-view where the header is rendered via the header-hook

  • details/main.js - The js-component of the details-tab

  • settings/main.js - The js-component of the settings-tab
