- source="plugin"
-
The source from which the data should be fetched.
- scope="name" (The emit source)
-
The name of the scope within the emit tag.
- maxrows="number"
-
Limits the number of rows to this maximum. Note that it is
often better to restrict the number of rows emitted by
modifying the arguments to the emit plugin, if possible.
E.g. when quering a MySQL database the data can be restricted
to the first 100 entries by adding "LIMIT 100".
- skiprows="number"
-
Makes it possible to skip the first rows of the result. Negative
numbers means to skip everything execept the last n rows. Note
that it is often better to make the plugin skip initial rows,
if possible.
- rowinfo="variable"
-
The number of rows in the result, after it has been filtered and
limited by maxrows and skiprows, will be put in this variable,
if given. Note that this may not be the same value as the number
of emit iterations that the emit tag will perform, since it will
always make one iteration when the attribute do-once is set.
- remainderinfo="variable"
-
The number of rows left to output, when the emit is restricted
by the maxrows attribute. Rows excluded by other means such as
skiprows or filter are not included in hte remainderinfo value.
The rows counted in the remainderinfo are also filtered if the
filter attribute is used, so the value represents the actual
number of rows that should have been outputed, had emit not
been restriced.
- do-once
-
Indicate that at least one loop should be made. All variables in the
emit scope will be empty, except for the counter variable.
- filter="list"
-
The filter attribute is used to block certain 'rows' from the
source from being emitted. The filter attribute should be set
to a list with variable names in the emitted scope and glob patterns
the variable value must match in order to not get filtered.
A list might look like name=a*,id=??3?45. Note that
it is often better to perform the filtering in the plugin, by
modifying its arguments, if possible. E.g. when querying an SQL
database the use of where statements is recommended, e.g.
"WHERE name LIKE 'a%' AND id LIKE '__3_45'" will perform the
same filtering as above.
<emit source='values' values='foo,bar,baz' split=',' filter='value=b*'>
&_.value;
</emit> |
|
bar
baz
|
- filter-exclude="list"
-
The filter exclude attribute is
used to filter out unwanted rows that would otherwise be emitted.
Uses the same syntax as the filter attribute.
- sort="list"
-
The emit result can be sorted by the emit tag before being output.
Just list the variable names in the scope that the result should
be sorted on, in prioritized order, e.g. "lastname,firstname".
By adding a "-" sign in front of a name, that entry will be
sorted in the reversed order.
The sort order is case sensitive, but by adding "^" in front of
the variable name the order will be case insensitive.
The sort algorithm will treat numbers as complete numbers and not
digits in a string, hence "foo8bar" will be sorted before
"foo11bar". If a variable name is prefixed by "*", then a
stricter sort algorithm is used which will compare fields containing
floats and integers numerically and all other values as strings,
without trying to detecting numbers etc inside them.
Compatibility notes: In 2.1 compatibility mode the default sort
algorithm is the stricter one. In 2.2 compatibility mode the "*"
flag is disabled.
- reverse
-
The results will be output in reverse order.
<emit source='path' path='/path/to/file' reverse=''>
&_.path;<br/>
</emit> |
/path/to/file
/path/to
/path
/
