---------------------------------
Assignee: Daniel Lipp (was: Christian Ringele)
> More complete method collection in STKUtil needed?
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MGNLSTK-446
> URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MGNLSTK-446
> Project: Magnolia Standard Templating Kit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: templates
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1
> Reporter: Christian Ringele
> Assignee: Daniel Lipp
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.0
>
>
> I raised the question of providing easy access to data in data module in this
> Jira task: MGNLSTK-435
> In this task i suggested something like general model classes to use.
> Now another idea/possibility came up in my mind:
> Why not providing a quite complete set of methods in the STKUtil and having
> them documented well. Something like a lib for STK templates.
> But they would need to be well documented, because the STKUtil provides
> already (as the MagnoliaUtil 'mgnl') a set of helper methods, but I'm sure
> most don't know anything about it/would know how to find out.
> Pros:
> - Every stk freemaker template has automatically the object 'stk'
> - Still a paragraph can have its specific model class and using the stk
> methods
> - Another reason to use STK freemarker templates and not using your complete
> own templates.
> - A good set could be quite easy provided which boosts the possibilities you
> can do in a freemarker template without having to code Java.
> - There is already a set of methods in it, but mostly only regarding
> resolving links/image-links
> Cons:
> - it must be documented well that there is a real use/gain of it.
