Overview SaaS
This document outlines key point on working with SFG templates.
Functions
Functions are injected through ctx variable into template execution scope and are used to provide convenience methods for some of the encapsulated raw low level functions of the platform (e.g. access to HTTP request context, template inclusion mechanism, pre-processing parameters etc).
Version | Function | Param | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.x.x | viewUri |
ctx.builder.a('href', ctx.viewUri, 'link')
| Retrieves current URL | |
| 1.x.x | builder | ctx.builder.html {
body {
div('Some text');
}
}
| Markup builder | |
| 1.x.x | include | relativePath | ctx.builder.section('class': 'blog') {
div('class': 'container') {
div('class': 'row') {
ctx.include('component/' + (centralView ?: 'EmptyCentralView') + '.groovy');
}
}
}
| Include a script file in current template execution scope |
| 1.x.x | includeurl | relativePath | ctx.includeurl '/internal/breadcrumbs';
ctx.builder.section('class': 'blog') {
div('class': 'container') {
div('class': 'row') {
ctx.includeurl "/internal/categorybody?categoryId=${sf.categoryId}";
}
}
}
| Invoke a sub request result of which will be amalgamated in final response |
| 3.5.x | includevariant | relativePath, defaultPath | ctx.includevariant(_optTemplate + '.groovy', 'SkuOptionsDim.groovy'); | Include a script variation (if one exists) or default otherwise in current template execution scope |
| 1.x.x | pagecache | timeout, keyType | ctx.pagecache('1d', '-');
| Meta data to instruct page template caching. timeout:
keyType:
|
| 1.x.x | inlineResource | relativePath | div('class': 'col-xs-12 col-md-4') {
mkp.yieldUnescaped( ctx.inlineResource('StandardFooterNavIncludeSocial.html') );
}
| Inline file in the generated markup |
| 1.x.x | content | contentId | div('class': 'form-group') {
mkp.yieldUnescaped(ctx.content('reset_resetform_content_include'));
}
| Retrieve content from CMS as a string by SEO URI |
| 1.x.x | contentExists | contentId | if (ctx.contentExists(_optCms)) { // shop specific rendering
mkp.yieldUnescaped(ctx.dynamicContent(_optCms, [
'product': product,
'skus': _skus,
'sku': _sku,
'fc': _fc,
'optionsModel': _optionsModel,
'optionsModelItem': _option
]));
}
| Check if content is defined in CMS |
| 1.x.x | dynamicContent | contentId, parameters | if (ctx.contentExists(_optCms)) { // shop specific rendering
mkp.yieldUnescaped(ctx.dynamicContent(_optCms, [
'product': product,
'skus': _skus,
'sku': _sku,
'fc': _fc,
'optionsModel': _optionsModel,
'optionsModelItem': _option
]));
}
| Retrieve content from CMS as a string by SEO URI. Content is preprocessed by template engine. |
| 1.x.x | msg | messageKey | span(ctx.msg('addToCompare'));
| Retrieves message from shop.properties.xml |
| 1.x.x | msgf | messageKey, parameters | a('href': ctx.URL('logout'), 'rel': 'nofollow', 'title': ctx.msgf('logoffTitle', ['customer': sf?.managerName])) {
span ctx.msg('logoffLabel');
}
| Retrieves message from shop.properties.xml. Message is preprocessed by template engine. |
| 1.x.x | contentURL | contentId | a('href': ctx.contentURL('license'), 'rel': 'bookmark') {
span(ctx.msg('licenceInfo'));
}
| Generate content page relative URL |

span(ctx.macroProductName.name(_item.productSku));
}
| Generate SKU page relative URL for specific fulfilment centre |
| 1.x.x | resourceURL | path | a('rel': 'bookmark', 'href': ctx.categoryURL('notebooks')) {
img('src': ctx.resourceURL('image/baner1.png'));
}
| Generate resource relative URL |
| 1.x.x | filteredURL | path | def _selected = _multi && ctx.macroFormUtils.values(_filteredNavBlock.code).contains(_filteredNavBlockValue.value);
def _path = _filteredNavBlock.code + '/' + ctx.encodeURI(_filteredNavBlockValue.value);
def _href;
if (_selected) {
_href = ctx.filteredURL('').replace(_path, '').replace('//', '/');
} else {
_href = ctx.filteredURL(_path);
}
