Can Layouts be supported? #6

Closed conficient closed 2 years ago

conficient commented 3 years ago

Razor Components support the specify of a Layout templates that wrap component output using a @Body render fragment.

Layouts can be specified in the component, e.g, @layout MyLayout - we need to see if this can be supported.

Also are we able to support a layout being passed as a parameter or set in Templater to apply to components. This might be useful if using different layouts for different brands when creating emails, for example.

An initial test suggests layouts are not working, needs further investigation .

So layouts for a component are specified using a directive, e.g.

@layout LayoutFile

This the results in an attribute added to the generated code:

    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;
    [Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.LayoutAttribute(typeof(LayoutFile))]
    public partial class LayoutComponent : Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.ComponentBase

A template is a component that @inherits LayoutComponentBase and has a @Body parameter. If I can find a way to render the layout and set the @Body to the target top-level component we should be able to support this.
