In the previous recipe, you learned using additional parameters, but these are loosely typed. So, chances are that content authors may enter invalid values such as non-numeric values for the RecordsCount
parameter and a style class in CssClass
that does not exist, and so on, which can lead to misbehavior of the application. Now, just imagine how happier your content authors will be if they see strongly typed parameters such as checkbox, integer, droplist, and so on.
In this recipe, we will use the Integer
field for RecordsCount
and a Droplist
field for CssClass
so that we always get valid values from the input.
Create a Stylesheet Class
template and create different items outside the Home
item, as shown in the following image. We will use the CssClasses
folder as a source of the droplist field.
