The plug-in - supports the recursive replacement of variables referenced by name in arbitrary - strings with the value of the variable. Two types of variables are provided - - value variables (<code>IValueVariable</code>) and dynamic variables (<code>IDynamicVariable</code>). - A value variable has a simple setter and getter for its current value. A dynamic - variable has an associated resolver that provides a variable's value each time - it is referenced (replaced) in a string substitution. A dynamic variable may - also provide an argument in its reference that can be used by its resolver to - determine its substitution value.</p> -<p>A variable manager (<code>IStringVariableManager</code>) is provided to manage - the set of defined variables. Value variables may be created via API on the - variable manager, or contributed via the <code>valueVariables</code> extension - point. Dynamic variables must be contributed via the <code>dynamicVariables</code> - extension point. The variable manager also provides change notification for - value variables. The variable manager also provides an API for performing string - substitution, which accepts a string, and returns a string with all variable - references replaced by associated variable values.</p> -<p>Variables are referenced in strings by enclosing them in braces, preceded with - a dollar sign. For example, consider a variable defined with the name <code>foo</code>, - and referenced in the following string: <code>"abc${foo}ghi"</code>. - If the value of <code>foo</code> is <code>"def"</code>, the result - of a string substitution would be <code>"abcdefghi"</code>. In the - case of a dynamic variable, an (optional) argument is supplied by appending - a colon and argument value after the variable name. For example <code>"${foo:bar}"</code>. - In this case, the resolver associated with <code>foo</code> would be provided - with the referenced argument (<code>bar</code>) when asked to resolve a value - for the variable <code>foo</code>. </p> -</body> -</html> |
