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
<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.
