Any module containing such +a file will have this script included in the generated HTML. + +This way you can have module specific CSS definitions. Some of the +definitions in ./style/default.css should be moved into modules over +time (TODO :)), since they are only used in one module. + +Thanks to the dependency mechanism it is possible to have dedicated css/js +modules, like "js_chart" or "js_circles". An example is the module +"statistics", which defines js_chart as a dependency in its config.json. +The result is that js_chart/clientscript.js is automatically included +in the HTML output of the statistics module. |
