Reference Binding

• Available for ZK:
• 

Reference binding allows us to reference an expression with a customized name. We can use this reference in another EL expression nested in the component that is binded to this reference.

A simple example is as follows:

<window apply="org.zkoss.bind.BindComposer" 
	viewModel="@id('vm') @init('foo.MyVM')">
	<vlayout p="@ref(vm.person)">
		<hlayout>
			First Name: <textbox value="@bind(p.firstName)" />
		</hlayout>
		<hlayout>
			Last Name: <textbox value="@bind(p.lastName)" />
		</hlayout>
	</vlayout>
</window>

Steps to use this feature:

1. Bind a custom attribute on a component with @ref .
2. Use the custom attribute in other EL expressions that are nested in children components

The above code shows these implemented steps, for more information and more uses please visit the developer's reference.
