7.1. introduction

The Genro controllers receive inputs and initiate a response by making calls on model objects.

We emphasize that all the controllers can be attached to every Genro object

The controllers can be divided in two groups:

• the client-side controllers
• the server-side controllers

7.1.1. client-side controllers

A client-side controller works on the client through javascript; they are:

• dataController: allow to execute javascript code
• dataFormula: allow to insert a value into a specific address of the datastore calculated through a formula
• dataScript (deprecated)

7.1.2. server-side controllers

A server-side controller works on the server thorugh Python; they are:

• data: used to define variables from server to client
• dataRecord: TODO
• dataRemote: synchronous rpc
• dataResource: TODO
• dataRpc: allow the client to make a call to the server to perform an action.
• dataSelection: TODO
