h1. fluid.initDependents(that)

Notes

fluid.initDependents() examines the components and invokers properties of the parent components options (i.e. that.options.components. If neither of these propertis is found, or is empty, this function will have no effect.

fluid.initDependents() works in conjunction with fluid.demands(). For more information on this relationship, please see How to Use Infusion IoC.

h3. Notes

{{fluid.initDependents()}} examines the {{components}} and {{invokers}} properties of the parent components options (i.e. {{that.options.components}}. If neither of these propertis is found, or is empty, this function will have no effect.

{{fluid.initDependents()}} works in conjunction with [{{fluid.demands()}}|fluid.demands]. For more information on this relationship, please see [How to Use Infusion IoC].

h3. Example
{span:class=borderless-table}
|{code:javascript}
myApp.myComponent = function (container, options) {
    var that = fluid.initView("myApp.myComponent", container, options);
    ...
    fluid.initDependents(that);
    ...
    return that;
};
fluid.defaults("myApp.myComponent", {
    components: {
        sub1: {
            type: "myApp.mySubcomponent1"
        },
        sub2: {
            type: "myApp.mySubcomponent2"
        }
    }
});

{code}|In this example, the {{fluid.defaults()}} call describes two subcomponents, {{sub1}} and {{sub2}} in the {{components}} property. The call to {{fluid.initDependents()}} will initialize these two subcomponents based on any demands specified through {{[fluid.demands]}} (not shown here: please see the [How to Use Infusion IoC] for information about how these functions work together, and the [{{fluid.demands()}} API|fluid.demands] for details about that function).|
