Parameters
Name | Type | Direction | Required | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
source | Iterator, Collection, Object[], or Object | in | yes | The source of objects to be iterated, which may be a Collection, an Iterator, an array of Objects, or a even a single Object (which is treated as a singleton collection). The source parameter may even be null, in which case the Foreach's body is never renderred. | |
value | Object | out | no | Used to update the current value on each iteration. | |
index | int | out | no | Used to store the index of the current value within the stream of elements provided by the source parameter. The index parameter is explicitly updated before the value parameter. | |
element | String | in | no | If specified, then the component acts like an Any, emitting an open and close tag before and after each iteration. Most often, the element is "tr" when the Foreach is part of an HTML table. Any informal parameters are applied to the tag. If no element is specified, informal parameters are ignored. |
Body: allowed
Informal parameters: allowed
Reserved parameters: none
Examples
The Foreach component is used to generate a table from a Customer List.
