Working with parsys

Working with parsys

We can get any parsys by providing it's data-path HTML attribute to the AuthorPage#getParsys method which is implemented as shown below:

public Parsys getParsys(String dataPath) {
    String path = DataPathUtil.normalize(dataPath); // discard the numeric appendix if present
    return parsyses.stream() //
        .filter(parsys -> StringUtils.contains(parsys.getDataPath(), path)) //
        .findFirst() //
        .orElseThrow(() -> new IllegalStateException("Parsys not found"));
}

Using parsys we can insert a component into it or delete it from there. When it comes to components, the methods that are responsible for handling them are also using ther data-paths. This is the implementation of Parsys#getComponent method:

public Component getComponent(String dataPath) {
    String componentDataPath = DataPathUtil.normalize(dataPath); // discard the numeric appendix if present
    return componentList.stream() //
        .filter(containsDataPath(componentDataPath)) //
        .findFirst() //
        .orElseThrow(() -> new IllegalStateException("Component not present in the parsys"));}
