# Edge stacks

Edge stacks allow you to create content placeholders and push content inside them from other parts of your template. For example, You can create a placeholder for inline JavaScript in the `head` tag and push `script` tags inside it from components.

1. Following is the markup of a layout file.
```html



@stack('js')



@!component('button', { message: 'Hello 👋' })


```

2. Now, let's create the button component. We will call a frontend JavaScript method `sayMessage` every time someone clicks the button.
```html

Click me to get the message

```

3. Finally, we must create the `sayMessage` function. With stacks, you can write JavaScript within the same component file.
```html

Click me to get the message

@pushTo('js')

function sayMessage(message) {
alert(message)
}

@end
```

The `pushTo` tag accepts the stack's name in which to push the content. The above example will push the content inside the `js` stack we defined inside the layout file.

However, the `@pushTo` tag will push contents as many times as you import the component, which can be a deal breaker in this case.

Therefore, we ship with another `@pushOnceTo` tag. It pushes the content to a stack only once, regardless of how many times you import the component.

## Setup
You can install the package from the npm package registry as follows.

```sh
npm i edge-stacks
```

And use it as a plugin as follows.

```ts
import { Edge } from 'edge.js'
import { edgeStacks } from 'edge-stacks'

const edge = new Edge()
edge.use(edgeStacks)
```

AdonisJS users can register the plugin with the `View` object. Then, to write the setup code, you can create a [preload file](https://docs.adonisjs.com/guides/adonisrc-file#preloads).

```ts
import View from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/View'
import { edgeStacks } from 'edge-stacks'

View.use(edgeStacks)
```

## Tags
Following is the list of tags registered by this package.

### @stack
The `@stack` tag creates a named placeholder where other parts of your template can push content. The tag only accepts a single argument as the name of the stack.

```html
@stack('js')
@stack('css')
```

Calling `@stack` multiple times with the same name will result in a runtime error.

```html

@stack('js')
@stack('js')
```

```html

@if(foo)
@stack('js')
@elseif (bar)
@stack('js')
@end
```

### @pushTo
The `@pushTo` tag pushes the contents inside a given named stack. The tag accepts a single argument as the stack name, followed by the content as the tag body.

```html
@pushTo('js')


@end
```

Calling `@pushTo` before registering a stack will result in an error.

```html

@pushTo('js')
@end

@stack('js')
```

### @pushOnceTo
The `@pushOnceTo` tag is the same as the `@pushTo` tag. However, it pushes the contents only once. The `@pushOnceTo` tag is helpful inside components and partials. So that you can import them multiple times, but the push side-effect happens only once.

```html
@pushOnceTo('js')


@end
```
