fluid.initLittleComponent(name, options)

A "little component" is a Fluid module with a collection of merged options; options that are provided by both the user and the component's defaults. It is a convenience method for creating small objects that have options but don't require full View-like features such as the DOM Binder or events.

fluid.initLittleComponent = function (name, options);

File name: Fluid.js

Parameters

`name`	(Object) The component name
`options`	(Object) The component options

Return value

Object

A module with merged options

How to create a little component

We want to create an HTML5 Uploader little component containing sub-components to locally add files to the file queue and to remotely send files to a server. The HTML5 little component can be instantiated in two different ways. See the following examples below:

A direct call to the framework API:

var that = fluid.initLittleComponent("fluid.uploader.html5Strategy", {
    components: {
        local: {
        }
        remote: {
        }
    }
});

Indirect IoC-driven approach:

fluid.defaults("fluid.uploader.html5Strategy", {
    gradeNames: ["fluid.littleComponent", "autoInit"],
    components: {
        local: {
        }
        remote: {
        }
    }
});

A component grade is required by setting the gradeNames property to "fluid.littleComponent". The "autoInit" grade is included so that the component's actual creator function doesn't need to be written at all.
