Builds the AssetView instances used by content-type scripts to control how a matched request is rendered. An instance of this class is bound into the content-type script engine as the "views" variable, so a content-type script calls views.jsonView(...), views.editView() and so on when configuring an asset type's default view or a path mapping's view. The views produced range from plain JSON responses through to HTML rendered from an MVEL template or a page path.

Methods

jsonView(String attribute)

Returns: JsonAssetView

Builds a view that renders the named request attribute as JSON. The attribute is looked up on the current request at render time, so it must already have been set (for example by a controller) before this view is used.

jsonView(boolean status, String message)

Returns: JsonAssetView

Builds a view that renders a simple JSON status result with a message, without reading a request attribute.

jsonObjectView(Object o)

Returns: JsonAssetView

Builds a view that renders the given object directly as JSON, without looking it up from a request attribute.

editView()

Returns: EditContentItemView

Builds the default HTML edit form view for a content item.

editFormView()

Returns: EditFormContentItemAssetView

Builds the standard asset edit form view, rendered from the shared asset edit form template.

jsFunctionView(String functionName)

Returns: JsContentItemAssetView

Builds a view that renders by invoking the named function in the content type's own script, passing it the request parameters, the asset item, the byte range and the output stream to write to.

mvelTemplateView(String templateText)

Returns: MvelTemplateContentItemAssetView

Builds a view that renders an HTML page from the given path treated as an MVEL template.

pageTemplateView(String pagePath)

Returns: PageTemplateContentItemAssetView

Builds a view that renders an HTML page using the given path as the page template.
