Data

Layouts need data to render, so we need to send a object with this attributes:

• layout: this choose a layout
• sections: this is where we declare widgets to be used in every section
• data: this is the data that will be passed to every widget as a global prop

Widgets

Registring a widget

Tableau.registerWidget('panel', Panel)

Using a widget in a section

In a section array, Add a widget object like this:

{
	name:'useful-links',
	widget:'panel',
	// Data can be defined by a function
	data: {
		title: 'Useful links',
		content: content.usefulLinks
	}
}

Widgets can also have data defined as a function that will get the global data and will need to return a object

{
	name:'heads-up',
	widget:'alert',
	// Data can be defined by a function
	data: Tableau.link('alert')
}

Tableau.link('alert') is function that takes the global data and makes a atribute the main data of the widget, you can create a new function and set it here.

This way by changing the data and the layout will update with out changing the section definition.

Layouts

Registring a widget

Tableau.registerLayout( 'two-columns', TwoColumnsLayout)

Using a layout

<Tableau.Builder {...layoutData}/>

or

<Tableau.Builder layout='LAYOUT_NAME' sections={sections} data={data}/>

This way by changing the layout, sections definition or the data you can render a different page.

Help with:

• Create more examples -- Add a redux example -- Add a react router example with multiple layouts -- Add a server side rendering example
• Create more layouts
• Create more widgets
