It is important to note that containers do more than simply contain components, they also define a layout strategy of how components inside a container resize and reposition. You can nest one container inside of another container. ContainerĬontainers are elements that contain components.
There is also an Embedded View component that allows you to include a view in the place of any component in the above structure. Perspective has a host of built-in components such as displays, buttons, charts, and other elements that display information to the user viewing a session. Session AnatomyĪ Perspective Session contains a hierarchy of logical elements, as shown in the example below.Ī session can have any number of pages at a time, pages can have any number of views, and containers can have any number of components, including other containers as children, which can also be nested to support multiple layout strategies. In this section, we discuss each building block of this hierarchy, starting at the bottom and working our way up. When describing each element, it helps to understand the smallest piece first which is a component, and then move up the hierarchy simply because that's where the design process begins in Perspective.Ĭomponents are elements that you can select from to design your project. This page details the various moving pieces that comprise a session. You can log into your favorite shopping website and then open several new tabs, where each tab is aware of your user credentials without having to retype them.Ī session appears fairly simplistic, but there is actually a rich hierarchy of elements to be aware of. Perspective Sessions work the same way as web pages do on your favorite website on the internet. Now that you know that a session is effectively running an instance of the application, it can have multiple Pages in the same web browser. So anytime we refer to a session, we are talking about a runtime application in Perspective. A Perspective Session represents one instance of a project running on a web browser or mobile app. The term "session" might be new to some users, where "client" or " runtime" may sound more familiar.
