Using a JavaScript library or a style sheet in an add-on
--------------------------------------------------------
Including style sheets or JavaScript files in your add-ons or as a part
of your application can now be done by adding a `@StyleSheet` or
`@JavaScript` annotation to a `Component` or `Extension` class. Each
annotation takes a list of strings with URLs to the resources that
should be loaded on the page before the framework initializes the
client-side `Component` or `Extension`.
The URLs can either be complete absolute urls (e.g. https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js) or
relative URLs (e.g. _redbutton.css_). A relative URL is converted to a
special URL that will download the file from the Java package where the
defining class is located. This means that e.g.
`@StyleSheet({"redbutton.css"})` on the class `com.example.RedButton` will
cause the file `com/example/redbutton.css` on the classpath to be loaded
in the browser. `@JavaScript` works in exactly the same way - see
link:IntegratingAJavaScriptComponent.asciidoc[Integrating a JavaScript component]
for a practical example.
[source,java]
....
@StyleSheet("redbutton.css")
public class RedButton extends NativeButton {
public RedButton(String caption) {
super(caption);
addStyleName("redButton");
}
}
....
In this simple example, the `RedButton` component just adds a `redButton`
style name to a normal `NativeButton`. _redbutton.css_ is located in the
same folder as _RedButton.java_ and has this content:
[source,css]
....
.redButton {
background-color: red;
}
....
This new mechanism makes it very easy to include style sheet or
JavaScript files with add-ons and automatically load them in the browser
when the add-on is used.
