There are 2 types of resource dependencies:

• dynamic (at run-time)
• semi-dynamic (at run-time, but only at start-up time)

So far, there is no static dependency management. All resource dependencies are managed at run-time.

Semi-dynamic dependencies should be preferred, because they are solved at start-up time in the init phase of the component life-cycle.

Dynamic Dependencies

const result = await ccm.start( "path/to/ccm.sub_component.js", individual_config );

Semi-dynamic Dependencies

There are two types of semi-dynamic dependencies:

Dependent components with multiple instances

Declare a component dependency inside the config of a master component as follows:

config: {
  sub_component: [ "ccm.component", "path/to/ccm.sub_component.js" ]
  ...
}

// start sub component with individual config
start: async () => {
	const instance = await this.sub_component.instance( individual_config );
	const result = await instance.start();
}

Dependent single instance

Declare a instance dependency inside the config of a master component as follows:

config: {
  sub_component: [ "ccm.instance", "path/to/ccm.sub_component.js", "individual config" ]
  ...
}

start: async () => {
	const result = await this.sub_component.start();
}
