Foxit PDF SDK For Web - V9.2.1

# Layout Template

# Example

In Foxit PDF SDK for Web, templates are written with HTML that contains UIExtension specific elements, attributes and directives. UIExtension combines the layout template with information from the component, controller and directive to render UI in the browser. The following code snippet shows a template with UIExtension components and directives.

<webpdf>
    <div class="toolbar" style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;padding:6px">
        <print:print-ribbon-button></print:print-ribbon-button>
        <ribbon-button name="freetext-typewriter" @tooltip tooltip-title="toolbar.tooltip.typewriter.title" @controller="states:CreateTypewriterController" icon-class="fv__icon-toolbar-typewriter" >toolbar.create.typewriter</ribbon-button>
    </div>
    <div class="fv__ui-body">
        <viewer @touch-to-scroll></viewer>
    </div>
    <template name="template-container">
        <print:print-dialog></print:print-dialog>
    </template>

# Description of the format of layout template

<webpdf>
    <!-- Layout templates support all html tags and properties. -->
    <div class="toolbar" style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;padding:6px">
        <!-- The colon prefix is the name of the component module, and the component name and module name must be in lowercase. -->
        <print:print-ribbon-button></print:print-ribbon-button>

        <!-- The parameters that begin with @ are used to mark directives, the content that follow with @ is the name of directives. If the directive is registered in a non-root module, then the directive name should be written in the @module-name:directive-name format.   -->
