Nesting involves placing one element (such as a component, class, or function) inside another. |
|
| |
|
| It creates a hierarchical structure where inner elements are contained within outer elements.
| | In MDriven Designer, Nestings are represented as blue within the ViewModel (green). |

| ==== Examples of Nesting ====
| | [[File:Nesting image.png|frameless|601x601px]] |
| '''Class Nesting'''
| |
|
| |
|
| In object-oriented programming, you can nest classes within other classes.
| | '''See also:''' |
|
| |
|
| For instance, a '''Car''' class might contain an '''Engine''' class, which in turn contains '''Cylinders''' and '''Pistons''' classes.

| '''Function Nesting'''
| | * [[Documentation:Nesting.Striped|Nesting.Striped]] |
| | |
| Functions can be nested within other functions.
| |
| | |
| For example, a '''calculateTotalCost''' function might call an '''applyDiscount''' function inside it.
| |
| | |
| '''HTML Nesting'''
| |
| | |
| In web development, HTML tags can be nested.
| |
| | |
| A '''<nowiki><div></nowiki>''' tag can contain other tags like '''<nowiki><p></nowiki>''', '''<nowiki><span></nowiki>''', or even nested '''<nowiki><div></nowiki>''' tags.
| |
| | |
| '''Benefits of Nesting'''
| |
| | |
| '''Modularity''': Nesting promotes modularity by organizing related elements together.
| |
| | |
| '''Readability''': Proper nesting enhances code readability and maintainability.
| |
| | |
| '''Scoping''': Nested elements have their own scope, limiting their visibility to specific contexts.
| |
| | |
| '''Considerations'''
| |
| | |
| '''Over-Nesting''': Avoid excessive nesting, as it can lead to complexity and confusion.
| |
| | |
| '''Balance''': Find the right balance between nesting for clarity and avoiding unnecessary layers.
| |
| | |
| Nesting in software modeling helps structure and organize elements, making code more manageable and understandable. | |
