Client rendering

Client rendering is the process of loading components from the server-side and displaying them on the client-side. As a developer you want to load components at any step in your application’s lifecycle.

Using the ClientRenderer public methods you can load components and include them anywhere in your page. RAIN does all the work of getting all the necessary data from the server-side and invoking the component’s lifecycle.

Usage

To load a component you have to use the global object clientRenderer. This object is a singleton instance of ClientRenderer().

The following code requests a button component. The instanceId property indicates where the markup of the component should be placed in the page.

clientRenderer.requestComponent({
    component: {
        name: 'button',
        version: '1.0',
        view: 'index',
        instanceId: "f1db15e2d25be2697f2cc02e63fce03f39705811"
    }
});
