Prop

Prop

Usage

=prop.<prop name>:<format>

Prop can be used to bind to page properties. The binding is two way. Since page properties are also pushed to matching properties in code behind, =this.name and =prop.name are identical when code behind exists. In some cases because of typing, the datatype may change however between =this.name and =prop.name. This is most often in the case of boolean as booleans in page properties are treated as strings but in code behind may be strings or boolean.

_ Prefix

Any property names that being with _ (underscore) will be ignored. _ is a commonly used prefix in JavaScript to denote private properties as JavaScript has no general concept of visibility.
