This new
configure
callback (as used in #1068) allows the creation of transparent “macro apps”, which are not instantiated, but instead modify the configuration they are configured on:— Method myapp:configure configuration, name, arg
Optional. If this method is defined the
new
method is ignored and notrequired, and when myapp is configured using
config.app
this method iscalled instead of instantiating myapp using
new
. Theconfigure
method iscalled with the configuration, name, and arg given to
config.app
, andis intended to be used to add arbitrary apps and links to configuration using
config.app
andconfig.link
.
