Generator Modules

There are five modules, one for each type of generators, that work in the same way:

  • structure-inserter
  • structure-extender
  • structure-filter
  • structure-grouper
  • structure-sorter

Each module allows declaring a generator of a specific type. When a plugin with a generator module is installed, you get the ability add those generators to structures.

Example

CODE
<structure-extender
    key="extender-examples" name="extender:Examples" description="Examples extender"
    class="com.mycompany.structure.examples.ExamplesExtender">
  <label key="com.mycompany.examples.extender.label"/>
  <icon spanClass="s-fa s-fa-link"/>
  <dialog-title key="com.mycompany.examples.extender.dialog-title"/>
  <resource type="velocity" name="form" location="/templates/example/extender-examples.vm"/>
  <resource type="velocity" name="summary" location="/templates/example/extender-examples-summary.vm"/>
</structure-extender>

Other types of generators are declared in the same way.

Generator Icons

The icon for the generator is defined using CSS classes. If you're using your own icons, make sure the appropriate CSS styles are loaded everywhere Structure can be used (see Loading Additional Web Resources For Structure Widget).

You can also use the standard icons used by bundled generators:
