Entry Points

Entry Points

EJS uses the concept of entry points to facilitate selective execution paths throughout the application. This allows a user to jump into the application from an entry point specific to the task at hand, only loading the necessary modules and files to complete it.

How It Works

An entry point is specified simply by adding some attributes to the root DOM node. A route name may be specified to determine the initial execution path via the data-route attribute, with its parameters passed in using the data-route-params attribute. Additionally, an optional data-layoutattribute may be used to specify a component to wrap the application.

Examples

Example 1: Booting the application without a default execution path

<div id="#app-root"></div>

Example 2: Specifying the name of an initial route to execute with route parameters

<div id="#app-root" data-route="my.route" data-route-params="{ param1: 1, param2: 'foo' }"></div>

Example 3: Specifying a layout component to wrap the application

<div id="#app-root" data-layout="MyLayoutComponent"></div>
