Stardust/Enhancing and Embedding Stardust/Browser Modeler/Javascript Extension Points

Extension Points and Extensions - analogous to the concepts in Eclipse - allow you to plug-in JavaScript logic and HTML UI into various parts of the Browser Modeler (Lightdust).

E.g. by defining

Invalid language.

You need to specify a language like this: <source lang="html4strict">...</source>

Supported languages for syntax highlighting:

4cs, 6502acme, 6502kickass, 6502tasm, 68000devpac, abap, actionscript, actionscript3, ada, algol68, apache, applescript, apt_sources, arm, asm, asp, asymptote, autoconf, autohotkey, autoit, avisynth, awk, bascomavr, bash, basic4gl, bf, bibtex, blitzbasic, bnf, boo, c, c_loadrunner, c_mac, caddcl, cadlisp, cfdg, cfm, chaiscript, cil, clojure, cmake, cobol, coffeescript, cpp, cpp-qt, csharp, css, cuesheet, d, dcl, dcpu16, dcs, delphi, diff, div, dos, dot, e, ecmascript, eiffel, email, epc, erlang, euphoria, f1, falcon, fo, fortran, freebasic, freeswitch, fsharp, gambas, gdb, genero, genie, gettext, glsl, gml, gnuplot, go, groovy, gwbasic, haskell, haxe, hicest, hq9plus, html4strict, html5, icon, idl, ini, inno, intercal, io, j, java, java5, javascript, jquery, kixtart, klonec, klonecpp, latex, lb, ldif, lisp, llvm, locobasic, logtalk, lolcode, lotusformulas, lotusscript, lscript, lsl2, lua, m68k, magiksf, make, mapbasic, matlab, mirc, mmix, modula2, modula3, mpasm, mxml, mysql, nagios, netrexx, newlisp, nsis, oberon2, objc, objeck, ocaml, ocaml-brief, octave, oobas, oorexx, oracle11, oracle8, otj, oxygene, oz, parasail, parigp, pascal, pcre, per, perl, perl6, pf, php, php-brief, pic16, pike, pixelbender, pli, plsql, postgresql, povray, powerbuilder, powershell, proftpd, progress, prolog, properties, providex, purebasic, pycon, pys60, python, q, qbasic, rails, rebol, reg, rexx, robots, rpmspec, rsplus, ruby, sas, scala, scheme, scilab, sdlbasic, smalltalk, smarty, spark, sparql, sql, stonescript, systemverilog, tcl, teraterm, text, thinbasic, tsql, typoscript, unicon, upc, urbi, uscript, vala, vb, vbnet, vedit, verilog, vhdl, vim, visualfoxpro, visualprolog, whitespace, whois, winbatch, xbasic, xml, xorg_conf, xpp, yaml, z80, zxbasic

propertiesPage : [{
   panelId: "activityPropertiesPanel",
   pageId: "controllingPropertiesPage",
   pageHtmlUrl: "activityControllingPropertiesPage.html",
   provider: m_activityControllingPropertiesPage,
   visibility: "always"
}]

you add an additional Properties Page to the Properties Pages for Activities whose code is tobe found in the file activityControllingPropertiesPage.html and whose JavaScript Controller is created by invoking m_activityControllingPropertiesPage.create(), whereby m_activityControllingPropertiesPage is a JavaScript modulein the file 'm_activityControllingPropertiesPage.js.

Prerequisites

In Order to understand the concepts in this document you need to familiarize yourself with

• JavaScript programming in general
• jQuery
• jQuery UI
• require for JavaScript
• the JavaScript Metamodel for Lightdust

Define a New Extension Point

You may define your own extension points and evaluate those in the JavaScript code.

Extension Registration

Extensions need to be registered in JavaScript files underneath the /modelerExtensions/<Extension Point Id> folder.
