CREATE PAGE - MDL Syntax Guide

Reference files

SKILL.md covers page structure, the syntax, and what does not work. The bulk is next door:

• reference/widgets.md — the widget catalogue: every supported widget with its properties and the exact MDL spelling. Look a widget up here before writing it; guessing a property name is the most common way a page fails to build.
• reference/examples.md — complete pages, end to end, to copy and adapt rather than assemble from parts.

For the widgets this project actually has — including any marketplace or custom ones — read the generated widgets skill instead (.ai-context/skills/widgets/SKILL.md).

Overview

Guide for writing CREATE PAGE statements in Mendix Definition Language (MDL).

Syntax

create [or replace] page Module.PageName
(
  [params: ( $ParamName: Module.EntityType | PrimitiveType, ... ),]
  [variables: ( $varName: DataType = <default expression>, ... ),]   -- bare: `= true`, not `= 'true'`
  title: 'Page Title',
  layout: Module.LayoutName,
  [url: 'page-url',]
  [folder: 'FolderPath',]
  [PopupWidth: 800, PopupHeight: 480, PopupResizable: true,]
  [Class: 'css-class', Style: 'css: rule']
)
{
  -- Widget definitions using explicit properties
}

Pop-up dimensions (PopupWidth / PopupHeight / PopupResizable) apply when the page is opened in a pop-up. They are optional — omitting them uses the Mendix defaults (600 × 600, not resizable). Unlike the other header keywords, these property names are case-sensitive and must be written exactly as shown. They can also be changed later with alter page … { set (PopupWidth: …); } (see the alter-page skill).
