I am having a scenario in which i want to call a sling model with input parameter.
For this i have a code like this
<div data-sly-use.model3="${'com.bhf.aem.sling.models.Test' @ colour='red'}">
</div>
But I want to call a method in sling model twice with two different parameters .Is it possible with sling models?
Any Help!!!
From AEM 6.3 there is a new HTL feature that allows to do this.
In the data-sly-include and data-sly-resource you can now pass
requestAttributes in order to use them in the receiving HTL-script.
This allows you to properly pass-in parameters into scripts or
components.
<sly data-sly-use.settings="com.adobe.examples.htl.core.hashmap.Settings"
data-sly-include="${ 'productdetails.html' @ requestAttributes=settings.settings}"/>
Java-code of the Settings class, the Map is used to pass in the
requestAttributes:
public class Settings extends WCMUsePojo {
// used to pass is requestAttributes to data-sly-resource
public Map<String, Object> settings = new HashMap<String, Object>();
@Override
public void activate() throws Exception {
settings.put("layout", "flex");
}
}
For example, via a Sling-Model, you can consume the value of the specified requestAttributes. In this example, layout is injected via the Map from the Use-class:
@Model(adaptables=SlingHttpServletRequest.class)
public class ProductSettings {
@Inject @Optional @Default(values="empty")
public String layout;
}
By design of the HTL/Sightly language, sending parameters is only possible for data-sly-use
(use objects initialization) and data-sly-call
(template calls). The reason for this is to separate business logic from the view.
As mentioned by @tomasz-szymulewski, since https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-5812, there is support for passing request attributes on resource/script inclusion in the Sling/AEM implementation.
