Instanciar un módulo de tipo componente

Instalar un módulo de tipo componente te permite usar los componentes creados como interfaces dentro del módulo en las diferentes pantallas de una aplicación mientras editas la pantalla en el Visual Builder. Puede utilizar estos componentes como lo haría en el caso de cualquier otro componente disponible en Visual Builder en el mismo entorno de Studio.Visual Builder (home)

[en] To be able to invoke a screen interface from the screens editor, previously create the interface and link the module to the parent app or module. The instructions below set an example on how to invoke a screen-type interface from the parent app but apply if you are invoking the interface from either an app or another module.

[en] In this example, you need to reuse an onboarding screens flow. The flow includes three screens. You will invoke the first screen of this onboarding screens flow from the Sign in button that appears in the parent app screen. Then, you will define that the user must be reidrected to the GoldBank app home page when they click on the Ready to start! label that appears in the last screen of the screens flow. To achieve the redirection, you will set a message in the interface that asks the parent app to execute an action: that action will be to show the home page of the GoldBank app.

Refer to the instructions below to learn how to invoke the interface.

    1. [en] In the Select link type drop-down menu, click the arrow and select Module Screen.

    2. [en] The Link to Module modal opens in the Target tab. This modal contains three tabs: the Target tab contains the modules linked as dependencies to the parent app; the Inputs & Outputs tab contains the Inputs, Outputs, Events and Messages parameters configured in the interface; the Find the Login_module module and click it.

      Nota

      [en] The Link to Module modal contains three tabs:

      • [en] Target tab: contains the modules linked as dependencies to the parent app.

      • [en] Inputs & Outputs tab: contains the Inputs, Outputs, Events and Messages parameters configured in the interface.

      • [en] On Next tab: allows you to set actions to be triggered after the screens flow finishes. This tab must not be configured.

    3. [en] Go to the Use default settings checkbox and unselect it, so you can configure the screen interface settings.

    4. [en] Go to the Inputs & Outputs tab and click Messages. For this example, you will only work on the Messages tab.

      Importante

      [en] Event parameters must not be configured for screen-type interfaces.

    5. [en] Go to the SHOWNEXT parameter. As configured In the Messages Mapping field, you must enter the syntax that represents the app screen that will be shown once the screens flow finishes. For this example, enter VV01|contents1:S004. Now, when the user clicks on the Ready to start! label mentioned above, the interface message will be triggered, that will in turn invoke the screen defined in this parameter.

    6. [en] Click Ready to link.

[en] Best practice

[en] As a best practice, modules - and therefore, their interfaces - should not have a theme applied. Hence, when an interface is invoked in the screens editor, the component or screens flow will inherit the theme applied to the parent app. Applying a theme to a module affects the reusable nature of the module.
