Programming model guidelines for client-side mode

Programming model guidelines provide information about the required standards for widgets, portlets, and other portal resources.

The following client-side programming model guidelines apply only to themes that support Client-Side Aggregation (CSA), primarily the Page Builder theme. The Portal 8.0 theme and the Portal 7.0.0.2 theme do not support CSA.

Supported APIs
Portlets that you deploy to pages rendered in client-side mode can use only a subset of the portal APIs. The fact that portal pages are rendered in client-side mode is usually transparent to portlets, which are still rendered on server-side. For this reason, you should be aware that limitations exist not only for the client-side APIs that you can use, but also for the server-side APIs.
Programming guidelines
Refer to the programming guidelines to ensure your portlets adhere to the required standards.
Options of interactions between widgets and portlets
Widgets and portlets can interact by using shared render parameters and events.
Comparing the new and the old client-side programming model
Compare the current client-side programming model to the client-side programming model from previous versions.
