File name: FluidIoC.js
Parameters

(String) The fully namespaced name of the function to invoke |
args |
(Array) An array of arguments to be applied to the function specified in functionPath. |
that |
(Object) description |
environment |
(Object) (optional) A hash of root path segments to objects that can be used to override lookups to the global object. This would typically be used by the Fluid framework itself to direct lookups to the correct version of the root fluid object |

Example
cspace.util.getLoginURL = function (options) {
...
};
fluid.defaults("cspace.util.getLoginURL", {
url: "%chain/loginstatus"
});
fluid.demands("cspace.util.getLoginURL",
"cspace.localData",
{
args: {
url: "%webapp/data/loginstatus.json"
}
});
...
var loginUrl = fluid.invoke("cspace.util.getLoginURL");
In this example, fluid.invoke will resolve the value to use for the url option before calling cspace.util.getLoginURL:
- In a production environment, the default (
"%chain/loginstatus") will be resolved and used. - When the
cspace.localDatacontext is registered (for example, in a testing environment), the alternative specified in the demands block will be found, resolved and used.
