Function

A function is very similar to a template except that instead of representing a single element, it can represent n elements. Because there is no 1-1 mapping of declaration to element, the api for function is more restricted than for template and typography. In particular, a function cannot:

• Set Attributes
• Set Styles
• Use lifecycle handlers
• Use input event handlers

It can still declare parameters, state, slots, or any other member type that does not deal directly with a single element. Unlike a template or typography, a function is not valid without a render block.

function SomeFunction {
    
    required int count;
    
    render {
        
        repeat(i in count) {
            Text("I am a function");
        }
        
    }
}
