API

can-view-import function

<can-import from="MODULE_NAME" />

Statically import a module from with a [can-stache] template. MODULE_NAME will be imported before the template renders.

<can-import from="components/tabs" />
<tabs-widget />

• MODULE_NAME {moduleName}: A module that this template depends on.

<can-import from="MODULE_NAME">content</can-import>

Dynamically import a module. MODULE_NAME will be imported dynamically; the scope within the template is a Promise.

<can-import from="components/tabs">
	{{#if isResolved}}
		<tabs-widget />
	{{/if}}
</can-import>

• MODULE_NAME {moduleName}: A module that this template depends on.

from="MODULE_NAME"

Passes MODULE_NAME to [can-util/js/import/import] and sets the 's viewModel to be the returned Promise.

<can-import from="bootstrap/bootstrap.css" />

• MODULE_NAME {String}: The name of the module to import.

can-tag="TAG_NAME"

Instantiates the provided [can-view-callbacks.tag] and sets its [can-component::viewModel viewModel] to be the Promise for the import.

• TAG_NAME {String}: The tag name (usually a [can-component]) to use.

{^value}="*NAME"

Sets up a [can-stache-bindings.toParent] binding to *NAME in the references scope.

• NAME {String}: The variable name to assign to the references scope. This can be any string name you want to use, but must be preceded by * or it will be placed on the template's View Model.

<can-import from="app/person" {^value}="*person" />
	
<section>
	hello {{*person.name}}
</section>
