Syntax
var $name=value;
Release Information
Statement introduced in version 1.0 of the SLAX language.
Description
Declare a local or global variable. A variable is global if it is defined outside of any template. Otherwise, it is local. The value of a global variable is accessible anywhere in the style sheet. The scope of a local variable is limited to the template or code block in which it is defined. Variables declared in this manner are immutable. You initialize a variable by following the variable name with an equal sign (=) and an expression.
Attributes
name | — | Specifies the name of the variable. After declaration, the variable can be referred to within expressions using this name, including the $ character. |
value | — | Defines the default value for the variable, which is used if the person or client application that executes the script does not explicitly provide a value. |
SLAX Example
var $vrf;
var $location = $dot/@location;
var $message = "We are in "_ $location _" now.";
XSLT Equivalent
<xsl:variable name="vrf"/>
<xsl:variable name="location" select="$dot/location"/>
<xsl:variable name="message" select="concat('We are in ', $location, now.')"/>
