What

...

It Is

The Solution Model is the blueprint of your developed solution. You can modify its blueprint during runtime, but the object still needs to be actually built to become available to the user. Compare it to building a house and where certain rules apply when you want to make changes to the already built house.

...

Note
titleNote

Manipulating solutions and modules are not applicable for the Solution Model because they are not relevant during deployment. At this point the collection of solutions and modules have become one flat solution. Therefore, no (references to) solutions and modules can be made with the Solution Model.

Functionality and

...

Basic Rules

The Solution Model has certain types of functions:

Type

Purpose

Clone

Copies of a certain objects can be created

Create

These factory functions allow you to create specific objects which can be used at properties of other objects

Get

Allows you to retrieve objects to be manipulated by the Solution Model

New

Allows you to create new objects to be manipulated by the Solution Model

Remove

Allow you to remove existing objects

wrapMethodWithArguments

Allows you to get a method, wrap it with arguments and assign it to an event.

With the Solution Model you can control different types of objects. Referring to these objects is done through so-called JS Objects and consist of constants, properties and/or functions.

The following list shows the objects which can be controlled by the Solution Model, its corresponding JS Object and from which JS Object it needs to be referenced from in order to use it:
