Developing pods

Use this information to develop Cúram pods. Pods are presented through a standard UIM Page. The UIM includes the PodContainer.vim that contains the predefined API for interacting with the pod. The PodContainer interface allows the client to interact with the server. A PodLoader is required for each pod.

Overview
The guide is a cookbook for Developers who want to create Pods. The guide coaches Developers through various scenarios beginning with the simplest implementation of a Pod, then adding content to Pods using tools provided and eventually introducing more advanced scenarios where the user requires knowledge of the widget development process.
A Technical Overview
Getting Started
Before creating a Pod you need to create a Page to host it. The page that hosts our Pods needs a Pod container which manages the Pods allowing them to be added/removed/moved and updated.
Hello World Pod
In this section, you are going to create a basic Pod with a title and some text. You also use the Admin Wizard to add the new Pod to the Pod page.
Creating a Pod with a list
In this section you expand on what you did in the previous section by adding some content to a Pod and you use the tools provided for creating the basic content types.
Adding a Pod filter
In this section you explore Pod filters. You look at the existing filters available and you use one to add a filter to the movies Pod.
Creating new Pod filters
In this section, you are going to create a new filter for a Pod to demonstrate how to add form items to Pods.
Localization in Pods
In this section you are going to look at building Pods in a localizable manner. The examples that are provided use non-locale-specific properties file, these can be supplemented with locale-specific versions to return translated text if required. The Curam Widget Development Guide has a Chapter on Internationalization and Localization for widgets which covers this topic in more detail and the Curam Regionalization Guide discusses building a locale aware product.
