## Interface JavaScriptSupport

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    JavaScriptSupportImpl

      public interface JavaScriptSupport

  The JavaScriptSupport environmental is very stateful, accumulating JavaScript stacks, libraries and initialization code until the end of the main page render; it then updates the rendered DOM (adding <script> tags to the <head> and <body>) before the document is streamed to the client. JavaScriptSupport is normally accessed within a component by using the `Environmental` annotation on a component field. In addition, JavaScriptSupport may also be accessed as a service (the service internally delegates to the current environmental instance), which is useful for service-layer objects. The term "import" is used on many methods to indicate that the indicated resource (stack, library or stylesheet) will only be added to the final cocument once, even when there are repeated calls. The name is slightly a misnomer, since there's a side-line of importStylesheet(StylesheetLink) as well. JavaScriptSupport works equally well inside an Ajax request that produces a JSON-formatted partial page update response.

      Deprecated. Deprecated in 5.4; refactor to use JavaScript modules instead
      Adds a call to a client-side function inside the Tapestry.Initializer namespace. Calls to this method are aggregated into a call to the Tapestry.init() function. Initialization occurs at the specified priority.
      Parameters:
        `priority` - priority to use when adding the script
        `functionName` - name of client-side function (within Tapestry.Initializer namespace) to execute
        `parameter` - string to pass to function (typically, a client id)

    - #### importJavaScriptLibrary

          JavaScriptSupport importJavaScriptLibrary(Asset asset)

      Imports a JavaScript library as part of the rendered page. Libraries are added in the order they are first imported; duplicate imports are ignored. Libraries are added to the page serially (whereas modules may be loaded in parallel), and all libraries are added before any modules are loaded. Because of this, it is preferrable to organize your JavaScript into modules, rather than libraries.
      Returns:
        this JavaScriptSupport, for further configuration
      See Also:
        `Import`

    - #### importStylesheet

          JavaScriptSupport importStylesheet(Asset stylesheet)

      A convenience method that wraps the Asset as a `StylesheetLink`.
      Parameters:
        `stylesheet` - asset for the stylesheet
      Returns:
        this JavaScriptSupport, for further configuration
      See Also:
        `importStylesheet(StylesheetLink)`

    - #### importStylesheet

          JavaScriptSupport importStylesheet(StylesheetLink stylesheetLink)

      Imports a Cascading Style Sheet file as part of the rendered page. Stylesheets are added in the order they are first imported; duplicate imports are ignored. Starting in 5.4, importing a stylesheet imports the core stack as well (with its stylesheets); this ensures that the imported stylesheet(s) can override rules from Tapestry's default stylesheets.
      Parameters:
        `stylesheetLink` - encapsulates the link URL plus any additional options
      Returns:
        this JavaScriptSupport, for further configuration

    - #### importStack

          JavaScriptSupport importStack(String stackName)

      Imports a `JavaScriptStack` by name, a related set of JavaScript libraries and stylesheets. Stacks are contributions to the `JavaScriptStackSource` service. When JavaScript aggregation in enabled, the stack will be represented by a single virtual URL; otherwise the individual asset URLs of the stack will be added to the document. Please refer to the notes about libraries vs. modules.
      Parameters:
        `stackName` - the name of the stack (case is ignored); the stack must exist
      Returns:
        this JavaScriptSupport, for further configuration

    - #### importJavaScriptLibrary

          JavaScriptSupport importJavaScriptLibrary(String libraryURL)

      Import a Javascript library with an arbitrary URL. Please refer to the notes about libraries vs. modules.

    - #### autofocus

          JavaScriptSupport autofocus(FieldFocusPriority priority,
                                      String fieldId)

      Invoked to set focus on a rendered field. Takes into account priority, meaning that a field with errors will take precedence over a merely required field, and over a field that is optional. The value `FieldFocusPriority.OVERRIDE` can be used to force a particular field to receive focus.
      Parameters:
        `priority` - focus is set only if the provided priority is greater than the current priority
        `fieldId` - id of client-side element to take focus

    - #### require

          Initialization require(String moduleName)

      Requires a JavaScript module by name. On the client, this will `require()` the module and (optionally) de-reference a function exported by the module (or, treat the module as exporting a single implicit function). The function will be invoked. Use the returned `Initialization` to specify the function name to invoke, and the parameters to pass to the function. In some cases, a module exports no functions, but performs some initialization (typically, adding document-level event handlers), in which case a call to require() is sufficient. In cases where the module, or a function within the module, are invoked with no parameters, the calls will be collapsed into a single invocation. If the module is part of a JavaScript stack, then the stack will be imported; this is important when JavaScript aggregation is enabled, but also ensures that libraries in the stack are loaded before the module (for cases where the module has dependencies on libraries not wrapped as AMD modules).
      Parameters:
        `moduleName` - the name of the module to require
      Returns:
        Initialization instance, used to configure function name, arguments, etc.
      Since:
        5.4

    - #### addModuleConfigurationCallback

          void addModuleConfigurationCallback(ModuleConfigurationCallback callback)

      Adds a module configuration callback for this request.
      Parameters:
        `callback` - a `ModuleConfigurationCallback`. It cannot be null.
      Since:
        5.4
      See Also:
        `DocumentLinker.addModuleConfigurationCallback(ModuleConfigurationCallback)`
