Ajax Component!
The Ajax component allows you to take any component already within Claromentis and Ajax empower it; harnessing a tried and tested JavaScript framework the Ajax component only marginally changes how you’d implement the original component within a template, and does almost all the magic for you.
It automatically breaks down the component into 2 states of information, firstly pushing something minimal to the browser, enough to function without actually running the component first, allowing claromentis to do the work in the background and provide a clean and much visibly faster approach to loading components.
Instead of having to wait 2-3 seconds for a component to load, the Ajax placeholder (a spinning icon to show that some work is being done) will be visible and behind the scenes after the page itself is loaded, it will then run and give you feedback from any component that has been empowered -fantastic for slower components that notably increase the loading time to your home page; It doesn’t matter even if it is an entirely custom component the Ajax loader will work with ANY and all claromentis components.
In addition if the component has a problem the page will still load – isolating the impact of any problems.
Ajax components are being used and tested internally by Claromentis now, and will be officially available with the Claromentis 6.0 Intranet Framework.
