[OmniFaces utilities (2.0)] Split the given list into a list of sublists of the given fragment size

---

[OmniFaces utilities] The splitList() function splits the given list into a list of sublists of the given fragment size. This is useful for creating nested <ui:repeat> structures, for example, when positioning a list of items into a grid based layout system such as Twitter Bootstrap.

Function:

Usage:

Let's suppose that we have a managed bean named ColorsBean that contains the following list of colors:

@Named

@ViewScoped

public class ColorsBean implements Serializable {

 List<String> colors = new ArrayList<>();

 public ColorsBean() {

  colors.add("#045FB4");

  colors.add("#F781BE");

  colors.add("#0B3B0B");

  colors.add("#F7819F");

  colors.add("#2E2E2E");

  colors.add("#B40404");

  colors.add("#04B404");

  colors.add("#D0A9F5");

  colors.add("#FFFF00");

 }

 public List<String> getColors() {

  return colors;

 }

 public void setColors(List<String> colors) {

  this.colors = colors;

 }

}

Now, as an example, we shape this list via <ul> and <li> like in figure  below:

<ul>

 <ui:repeat value="#{of:splitList(colorsBean.colors, 3)}" var="subList">

  <li>

   <ui:repeat value="#{subList}" var="item">

    <div style="color:#{item}">#{item}</div>

   </ui:repeat>

  </li>

 </ui:repeat>

</ul>
