The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.
A template is some portion of code (a class) that is defined to be used many times in the The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/..
Overview
The templates are visible in the The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/. under your scout project > Client > Templates
Form Field template
An easy way to reuse form field code is to use templates.
Consider the following example: A group box for the billing address containing some fields.
@Order(10.0) public class BillingAddressBox extends AbstractGroupBox { @Override protected String getConfiguredLabel() { return TEXTS.get("BillingAddress"); } @Order(10.0) public class StreetField extends AbstractStringField { @Override protected String getConfiguredLabel() { return TEXTS.get("Street"); } } @Order(20.0) public class CityField extends AbstractSmartField<Long> { @Override protected Class<? extends ICodeType<?>> getConfiguredCodeType() { return CityCodeType.class; } @Override protected String getConfiguredLabel() { return TEXTS.get("City"); } } }
Now let's assume you would like to create a similar box for the correspondence address without copying the code. This is possible by selecting "Create template..." on the group box.
A new abstract class is created containing the code of BillingAddressBox.
Now the correspondance address field can be created by choosing the template as type for the new field.
