Methods
_addAttrs
-
cfgs -
values -
lazy
Parameters:
-
cfgsObjectAn object with attribute name/configuration pairs. -
valuesObjectAn object with attribute name/value pairs, defining the initial values to apply. Values defined in the cfgs argument will be over-written by values in this argument unless defined as read only. -
lazyBooleanWhether or not to delay the intialization of these attributes until the first call to get/set. Individual attributes can over-ride this behavior by defining a lazyAdd configuration property in their configuration. See addAttr.
_addLazyAttr
-
name -
[lazyCfg]
Parameters:
-
nameObjectThe name of the attribute -
[lazyCfg]Object optionalOptional config hash for the attribute. This is added for performance along the critical path, where the calling method has already obtained lazy config from state.
_addOutOfOrder
-
name -
cfg
Parameters:
-
nameStringattribute name -
cfgObjectattribute configuration
_afterActiveViewChange
-
e
activeViewChange event (which is fired when the
activeView attribute changes) by detaching the old view, attaching the new
view.
The activeView attribute is read-only, so the public API to change its
value is through the showView() method.
Parameters:
_afterContainerChange
()
protected
containerChange events. Detaches event handlers from the old
container (if any) and attaches them to the new container.
Right now the container attr is initOnly so this event should only ever
fire the first time the container is created, but in the future (once Y.App
can handle it) we may allow runtime container changes.
_afterHistoryChange
-
e
history:change and hashchange events.
Parameters:
_aggregateAttrs
-
allAttrs
Parameters:
-
allAttrsArrayAn array of ATTRS definitions across classes in the hierarchy (subclass first, Base last)

When serverRouting is true or undefined the returned value will be
dependent on the browser's capability of using HTML5 history.
Returns:
_isChildView
-
view -
parent
view is configured as a child of the specified
parent view. This requires both views to be either named-views, or view
instances created using configuration data that exists in the views
object, e.g. created by the createView() or showView() method.

_isLazyAttr
-
name
Parameters:
-
nameStringThe name of the attribute
Returns:

This normalize browser inconsistencies with how the port is reported for
anchor elements (IE reports a value for the default port, e.g. "80").
Parameters:
-
linkNodeThe anchor element to test whether itshrefis of the same origin as the page's current location.
Returns:
href is of the same origin as
the page's current location.
_isParentView
-
view -
parent
view is configured as the parent of the
specified child view. This requires both views to be either named-views,
or view instances created using configuration data that exists in the
views object, e.g. created by the createView() or showView() method.
Parameters:
Returns:
_joinURL

-
valueHashObjectAn object with attribute name/value pairs
Returns:
_onLinkClick
-
e
linkSelector.
This will attempt to enhance the navigation to the link element's href by
passing the URL to the _navigate() method. When the navigation is being
enhanced, the default action is prevented.
If the user clicks a link with the middle/right mouse buttons, or is holding
down the Ctrl or Command keys, this method's behavior is not applied and
allows the native behavior to occur. Similarly, if the router is not capable
or handling the URL because no route-handlers match, the link click will
behave natively.
Parameters:
_onPjaxIOComplete
-
id -
ioResponse -
details
Y.io() response and puts it on the
route's response object.
Parameters:
-
idStringTheY.iotransaction id. -

detailsObjectExtra details carried through fromloadContent().
_onPjaxIOEnd
-
id -
details
Parameters:
-

Parameters:
-
queryStringQuery string to parse.
Returns:
_parseType
()
private
_pathHasRoot
-
root -
path
true when the specified path is semantically within the
specified root path.
If the root does not end with a trailing slash ("/"), one will be added
before the path is evaluated against the root path.
Parameters:
-
rootStringRoot path used to evaluate whether the specificedpathis semantically within. A trailing slash ("/") will be added if it does not already end with one. -
pathStringPath to evaluate for containing the specifiedroot.
Returns:
path is semantically within the
root path.
Example:
this._pathHasRoot('/app', '/app/foo'); // => true
this._pathHasRoot('/app/', '/app/foo'); // => true
this._pathHasRoot('/app/', '/app/'); // => true
this._pathHasRoot('/app', '/foo/bar'); // => false
this._pathHasRoot('/app/', '/foo/bar'); // => false
this._pathHasRoot('/app/', '/app'); // => false

be the default CustomEvent instance, and can be configured independently.
_queue
()
protected
chainable
_save() call to run after all previously-queued calls have
finished.
This is necessary because if we make multiple _save() calls before the
first call gets dispatched, then both calls will dispatch to the last call's
URL.
All arguments passed to _queue() will be passed on to _save() when the
queued function is executed.
_resolvePath
-
path
path against the current
path. Falsy values for path will return just the current path.
Parameters:
-
pathStringURL path to resolve.
Returns:
_resolveURL
-
url
Parameters:
-
urlStringURL to resolve.
Returns:
_save
-
[url] -
[replace=false]
pushState() or the location hash,
or gracefully-degrade to sending a request to the server causing a full-page
reload.
Overrides Router's _save() method to preform graceful-degradation when the
app's serverRouting is true and html5 is false by updating the full
URL via standard assignment to window.location or by calling
window.location.replace(); both of which will cause a request to the
server resulting in a full-page reload.
Otherwise this will just delegate off to Router's _save() method allowing
the client-side enhanced routing to occur.
Parameters:
-
[url]String optionalURL for the history entry. -
[replace=false]Boolean optionalIftrue, the current history entry will be replaced instead of a new one being added.

newView to this app, and detaching the oldView from this app using any
specified options.
The newView is attached to the app by rendering it to the viewContainer,
and making this app a bubble target of its events.
The oldView is detached from the app by removing it from the
viewContainer, and removing this app as a bubble target for its events.
The oldView will either be preserved or properly destroyed.
**Note:** The activeView attribute is read-only and can be changed by
calling the showView() method.
Parameters:
-
newViewViewThe View which is now this app'sactiveView. -
[oldView]View optionalThe View which was this app'sactiveView. -
[options]Object optionalOptional object containing any of the following properties:-

Returns:
Example:
app._upgradeURL('http://example.com/#/foo/'); // => 'http://example.com/foo/';
addAttr
-
name -
config -
lazy
Adds an attribute with the provided configuration to the host object.
The config argument object supports the following properties:
- value <Any>
- The initial value to set on the attribute
- valueFn <Function | String>
-
A function, which will return the initial value to set on the attribute. This is useful for cases where the attribute configuration is defined statically, but needs to reference the host instance ("this") to obtain an initial value. If both the value and valueFn properties are defined, the value returned by the valueFn has precedence over the value property, unless it returns undefined, in which case the value property is used.
valueFn can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used to retrieve the value.
- readOnly <boolean>
- Whether or not the attribute is read only. Attributes having readOnly set to true cannot be modified by invoking the set method.
- writeOnce <boolean> or <string>
-
Whether or not the attribute is "write once". Attributes having writeOnce set to true,
can only have their values set once, be it through the default configuration,
constructor configuration arguments, or by invoking set.
The writeOnce attribute can also be set to the string "initOnly", in which case the attribute can only be set during initialization (when used with Base, this means it can only be set during construction)
- setter <Function | String>
-
The setter function used to massage or normalize the value passed to the set method for the attribute. The value returned by the setter will be the final stored value. Returning Attribute.INVALID_VALUE, from the setter will prevent the value from being stored.
setter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the setter function.
- getter <Function | String>
-
The getter function used to massage or normalize the value returned by the get method for the attribute. The value returned by the getter function is the value which will be returned to the user when they invoke get.
getter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the getter function.
- validator <Function | String>
-
The validator function invoked prior to setting the stored value. Returning false from the validator function will prevent the value from being stored.
validator can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the validator function.
- lazyAdd <boolean>
- Whether or not to delay initialization of the attribute until the first call to get/set it. This flag can be used to over-ride lazy initialization on a per attribute basis, when adding multiple attributes through the addAttrs method.
The setter, getter and validator are invoked with the value and name passed in as the first and second arguments, and with the context ("this") set to the host object.
Configuration properties outside of the list mentioned above are considered private properties used internally by attribute, and are not intended for public use.
Parameters:
-
nameStringThe name of the attribute. -
configObjectAn object with attribute configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration for the attribute.NOTE: The configuration object is modified when adding an attribute, so if you need to protect the original values, you will need to merge the object.
-
lazyBoolean(optional) Whether or not to add this attribute lazily (on the first call to get/set).
Returns:
addAttrs
-
cfgs -
values -
lazy
NOTE: This method does not isolate the configuration object by merging/cloning. The caller is responsible for merging/cloning the configuration object if required.
Parameters:
-
cfgsObjectAn object with attribute name/configuration pairs. -
valuesObjectAn object with attribute name/value pairs, defining the initial values to apply. Values defined in the cfgs argument will be over-written by values in this argument unless defined as read only. -
lazyBooleanWhether or not to delay the intialization of these attributes until the first call to get/set. Individual attributes can over-ride this behavior by defining a lazyAdd configuration property in their configuration. See addAttr.

hasRoute
-
url
true if this router has at least one route that matches the
specified URL, false otherwise. This also checks that any named param
handlers also accept app param values in the url.
This method enforces the same-origin security constraint on the specified
url; any URL which is not from the same origin as the current URL will
always return false.
Parameters:
-
urlStringURL to match.
Returns:
true if there's at least one matching route, false
otherwise.
init
-
cfg
Parameters:
-
cfgObjectObject with configuration property name/value pairs
Returns:

loadContent
-
req -
res -
next
req.ioURL: The full URL that was used to make the Y.io() XHR. This
may contain "pjax=1" if the addPjaxParam option is set.
- res.content: An object containing node and title properties for
the content extracted from the server's response. See getContent() for
more details.
- res.ioResponse: The full Y.io() response object. This is useful if
you need access to the XHR's response status or HTTP headers.
Parameters:
-
reqObjectRequest object. -
resObjectResponse Object. -
nextFunctionFunction to pass control to the next route callback.
Example:
router.route('/foo/', 'loadContent', function (req, res, next) {
Y.one('container').setHTML(res.content.node);
Y.config.doc.title = res.content.title;
});
match
-
path
root, then the specified path _must_ be
semantically within the root path to match any routes.
This method is called internally to determine which routes match the current
path whenever the URL changes. You may override it if you want to customize
the route matching logic, although this usually shouldn't be necessary.
Each returned route object has the following properties:
* callback: A function or a string representing the name of a function
this router that should be executed when the route is triggered.
* keys: An array of strings representing the named parameters defined in
the route's path specification, if any.
* path: The route's path specification, which may be either a string or
a regex.
* regex: A regular expression version of the route's path specification.
This regex is used to determine whether the route matches a given path.
Parameters:
-
pathStringURL path to match. This should be an absolute path that starts with a slash: "/".
Returns:
Example:
router.route('/foo', function () {});
router.match('/foo');
// => [{callback: ..., keys: [], path: '/foo', regex: ...}]
modifyAttr
-
name -
config
The properties which can be modified through this interface are limited to the following subset of attributes, which can be safely modified after a value has already been set on the attribute:
- readOnly;
- writeOnce;
- broadcast; and
- getter.
Note: New attributes cannot be added using this interface. New attributes must be added using {{#crossLink "AttributeCore/addAttr:method"}}addAttr{{/crossLink}}, or an appropriate manner for a class which utilises Attributes (e.g. the {{#crossLink "Base/ATTRS:property"}}ATTRS{{/crossLink}} property in {{#crossLink "Base"}}Base{{/crossLink}}).
Parameters:
-
nameStringThe name of the attribute whose configuration is to be updated. -
configObjectAn object with configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration properties to modify.
on

type -
fn -
[context] -
[arg*]
emitFacade = true will
receive an EventFacade as the first argument (typically named "e").
These callbacks can then call e.preventDefault() to disable the
behavior published to that event's defaultFn. See the EventFacade
API for all available properties and methods. Subscribers to
non-emitFacade events will receive the arguments passed to fire()
after the event name.
To subscribe to multiple events at once, pass an object as the first
argument, where the key:value pairs correspond to the eventName:callback.
this.on({
"attrChange" : this._onAttrChange,
"change" : this._onChange
});
You can also pass an array of event names as the first argument to
subscribe to all listed events with the same callback.
this.on([ "change", "attrChange" ], this._onChange);
Returning false from a callback is supported as an alternative to
calling e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation();. However, it is
recommended to use the event methods whenever possible.
Parameters:
-
typeStringThe name of the event -
fnFunctionThe callback to execute in response to the event -
[context]Object optionalOverridethisobject in callback -
[arg*]Any optional0..n additional arguments to supply to the subscriber
Returns:

-
name -
handler
req.params to use named params, but
still applying extra validation or formatting to the param values parsed
from the URL.
If a param handler regex or function returns a value of false, null,
undefined, or NaN, the current route will not match and be skipped. All
other return values will be used in place of the original param value parsed
from the URL.
Parameters:
-
nameStringName of the param used in route paths. -
handlerFunction | RegExpFunction to invoke or regular expression toexec()during route dispatching whose return value is used as the new param value. Values offalse,null,undefined, orNaNwill cause the current route to not match and be skipped. When a function is specified, it will be invoked in the context of this instance with the following parameters:-
valueStringThe current param value parsed from the URL.
-
nameStringThe name of the param.
-
Example:
router.param('postId', function (value) {
return parseInt(value, 10);
});
router.param('username', /^\w+$/);
router.route('/posts/:postId', function (req) {
Y.log('Post: ' + req.params.id);
});
router.route('/users/:username', function (req) {
// req.params.username is an array because the result of calling
// exec() on the regex is assigned as the param's value.
Y.log('User: ' + req.params.username[0]);
});
router.route('*', function () {
Y.log('Catch-all no routes matched!');
});
// URLs which match routes:
router.save('/posts/1'); // => "Post: 1"
router.save('/users/ericf'); // => "User: ericf"
// URLs which do not match routes because params fail validation:
router.save('/posts/a'); // => "Catch-all no routes matched!"
router.save('/users/ericf,rgrove'); // => "Catch-all no routes matched!"

render
()
chainable
viewContainer node to the
container node if it isn't already a child of the container, and the
activeView will be appended the view container, if it isn't already.
You should call this method at least once, usually after the initialization
of your app instance so the proper DOM structure is setup and optionally
append the container to the DOM if it's not there already.
You may override this method to customize the app's rendering, but you
should expect that the viewContainer's contents will be modified by the
app for the purpose of rendering the activeView when it changes.

replace
-
[url]
pushState() in browsers that
support it (or the location hash in older browsers and IE) to change the
URL.
The specified URL must share the same origin (i.e., protocol, host, and
port) as the current page, or an error will occur.
Parameters:
-
[url]String optionalURL to set. This URL needs to be of the same origin as the current URL. This can be a URL relative to the router'srootattribute. If no URL is specified, the page's current URL will be used.
Example:
// Starting URL: http://example.com/
router.replace('/path/');
// New URL: http://example.com/path/
router.replace('/path?foo=bar');
// New URL: http://example.com/path?foo=bar
router.replace('/');
// New URL: http://example.com/
reset
-
name
Parameters:
-
nameStringOptional. The name of the attribute to reset. If omitted, all attributes are reset.
Returns:
route
-
route -
callbacks
route.
The route parameter may be a string or regular expression to represent a
URL path, or a route object. If it's a string (which is most common), it may
contain named parameters: :param will match any single part of a URL path
(not including / characters), and *param will match any number of parts
of a URL path (including / characters). These named parameters will be
made available as keys on the req.params object that's passed to route
handlers.
If the route parameter is a regex, all pattern matches will be made
available as numbered keys on req.params, starting with 0 for the full
match, then 1 for the first subpattern match, and so on.
Alternatively, an object can be provided to represent the route and it may
contain a path property which is a string or regular expression which
causes the route to be process as described above. If the route object
already contains a regex or regexp property, the route will be
considered fully-processed and will be associated with any callacks
specified on the object and those specified as parameters to this method.
**Note:** Any additional data contained on the route object will be
preserved.
Here's a set of sample routes along with URL paths that they match:
* Route: /photos/:tag/:page
* URL: /photos/kittens/1, params: {tag: 'kittens', page: '1'}
* URL: /photos/puppies/2, params: {tag: 'puppies', page: '2'}
* Route: /file/*path
* URL: /file/foo/bar/baz.txt, params: {path: 'foo/bar/baz.txt'}
* URL: /file/foo, params: {path: 'foo'}
**Middleware**: Routes also support an arbitrary number of callback
functions. This allows you to easily reuse parts of your route-handling code
with different route. This method is liberal in how it processes the
specified callbacks, you can specify them as separate arguments, or as
arrays, or both.
If multiple route match a given URL, they will be executed in the order they
were added. The first route that was added will be the first to be executed.
**Passing Control**: Invoking the next() function within a route callback
will pass control to the next callback function (if any) or route handler
(if any). If a value is passed to next(), it's assumed to be an error,
therefore stopping the dispatch chain, unless that value is: "route",
which is special case and dispatching will skip to the next route handler.
This allows middleware to skip any remaining middleware for a particular
route.
Parameters:
-
routeString | RegExp | ObjectRoute to match. May be a string or a regular expression, or a route object. -
callbacksArray | Function | String multipleCallback functions to call whenever this route is triggered. These can be specified as separate arguments, or in arrays, or both. If a callback is specified as a string, the named function will be called on this router instance.-
reqObjectRequest object containing information about the request. It contains the following properties.
-
paramsArray | ObjectCaptured parameters matched by the route path specification. If a string path was used and contained named parameters, then this will be a key/value hash mapping parameter names to their matched values. If a regex path was used, this will be an array of subpattern matches starting at index 0 for the full match, then 1 for the first subpattern match, and so on. -
pathStringThe current URL path. -
pendingCallbacksNumberNumber of remaining callbacks the route handler has after this one in the dispatch chain. -
pendingRoutesNumberNumber of matching routes after this one in the dispatch chain. -
queryObjectQuery hash representing the URL query string, if any. Parameter names are keys, and are mapped to parameter values. -
routeObjectReference to the current route object whose callbacks are being dispatched. -
routerObjectReference to this router instance. -
srcStringWhat initiated the dispatch. In an HTML5 browser, when the back/forward buttons are used, this property will have a value of "popstate". When thedispath()method is called, thesrcwill be"dispatch". -
urlStringThe full URL.
-
-
resObjectResponse object containing methods and information that relate to responding to a request. It contains the following properties.
-
reqObjectReference to the request object.
-
-
nextFunctionFunction to pass control to the next callback or the next matching route if no more callbacks (middleware) exist for the current route handler. If you don't call this function, then no further callbacks or route handlers will be executed, even if there are more that match. If you do call this function, then the next callback (if any) or matching route handler (if any) will be called. All of these functions will receive the same
reqandresobjects that were passed to this route (so you can use these objects to pass data along to subsequent callbacks and routes).-
[err]String optionalOptional error which will stop the dispatch chaining for thisreq, unless the value is"route", which is special cased to jump skip past any callbacks for the current route and pass control the next route handler.
-
-
Example:
router.route('/photos/:tag/:page', function (req, res, next) {
Y.log('Current tag: ' + req.params.tag);
Y.log('Current page number: ' + req.params.page);
});
// Using middleware.
router.findUser = function (req, res, next) {
req.user = this.get('users').findById(req.params.user);
next();
};
router.route('/users/:user', 'findUser', function (req, res, next) {
// The findUser middleware puts the user object on the req.
Y.log('Current user:' req.user.get('name'));
});
save
-
[url]
pushState() in browsers that
support it (or the location hash in older browsers and IE) to change the
URL and create a history entry.
The specified URL must share the same origin (i.e., protocol, host, and
port) as the current page, or an error will occur.
Parameters:
-
[url]String optionalURL to set. This URL needs to be of the same origin as the current URL. This can be a URL relative to the router'srootattribute. If no URL is specified, the page's current URL will be used.

[options] -
[callback]
activeView attribute using the specified content.
This provides an easy way to view-ify HTML content which should be shown as
this app's active/visible view. This method will determine the appropriate
view container node based on the specified content. By default, a new
Y.View instance will be created unless options.view is specified.
Under the hood, this method calls the showView() method, so refer to its
docs for more information.
Parameters:
-
contentHTMLElement | Node | StringThe content to show, it may be provided as a selector string, a DOM element, or aY.Nodeinstance. -
[options]Object optionalOptional objects containing any of the following properties in addition to anyshowView()options:-
[view]Object | String optionalThe name of a view defined in this app's
views, or an object with the following properties:-
nameStringThe name of a view defined in this app'sviews. -
[config]Object optionalOptional configuration to use when creating the new view instance. This config object can also be used to update an existing or preserved view's attributes whenoptions.updateistrue. **Note:** If acontaineris specified, it will be overridden by thecontentspecified in the first argument.
-
-
-
[callback]Function optionalOptional callback function to call after the newactiveViewis ready to use. **Note:** this will overrideoptions.callbackand it can be specified as either the second or third argument. The function will be passed the following:-
viewViewA reference to the new
activeView.
-
showView
-
view -
[config] -
[options] -
[callback]
activeView attribute to the specified view.
The view will be "attached" to this app, meaning it will be both rendered
into this app's viewContainer node and all of its events will bubble to
the app. The previous activeView will be "detached" from this app.
When a string-name is provided for a view which has been registered on this
app's views object, the referenced metadata will be used and the
activeView will be set to either a preserved view instance, or a new
instance of the registered view will be created using the specified config
object passed-into this method.
A callback function can be specified as either the third or fourth argument,
and this function will be called after the new view becomes the
activeView, is rendered to the viewContainer, and is ready to use.
Parameters:
-
viewString | ViewThe name of a view defined in theviewsobject, or a view instance which should become this app'sactiveView. -
[config]Object optionalOptional configuration to use when creating a new view instance. This config object can also be used to update an existing or preserved view's attributes whenoptions.updateistrue. -
[options]Object optionalOptional object containing any of the following properties:-
[callback]Function optionalOptional callback function to call after new
activeViewis ready to use, the function will be passed:-
viewViewA reference to the newactiveView.
-
-
[prepend=false]Boolean optionalWhether the
viewshould be prepended instead of appended to theviewContainer. -
[render]Boolean optionalWhether the
viewshould be rendered. Note: If no value is specified, a view instance will only be rendered if it's newly created by this method. -
[transition]Boolean | String optionalOptional transition override. A transition can be specified which will override the default, or
falsefor no transition. -
[update=false]Boolean optionalWhether an existing view should have its attributes updated by passing the
configobject to itssetAttrs()method. Note: This option does not have an effect if theviewinstance is created as a result of calling this method.
-
-
[callback]Function optionalOptional callback Function to call after the newactiveViewis ready to use. **Note:** this will overrideoptions.callbackand it can be specified as either the third or fourth argument. The function will be passed the following:-
viewViewA reference to the new
activeView.
-
Example:
var app = new Y.App({
views: {
usersView: {
// Imagine that Y.UsersView has been defined.
type: Y.UsersView
}
},
transitions: true,
users : new Y.ModelList()
});
app.route('/users/', function () {
this.showView('usersView', {users: this.get('users')});
});

activeView changes.
The following are types of changes for which transitions can be defined that
correspond to the relationship between the new and previous activeView:
* navigate: The default transition to use when changing the activeView
of the application.
* toChild: The transition to use when the new activeView is configured
as a child of the previously active view via its parent property as
defined in this app's views.
* toParent: The transition to use when the new activeView is
configured as the parent of the previously active view as defined in
this app's views.
**Note:** Transitions are an opt-in feature and will only be used in
browsers which support native CSS3 transitions.
Default: { navigate: 'fade', toChild : 'slideLeft', toParent: 'slideRight' }
views
Object
type: Function or a string representing the view constructor to use to
create view instances. If a string is used, the constructor function is
assumed to be on the Y object; e.g. "SomeView" -> Y.SomeView.
* preserve: Boolean for whether the view instance should be retained. By
default, the view instance will be destroyed when it is no longer the
activeView. If true the view instance will simply be removed()
from the DOM when it is no longer active. This is useful when the view
is frequently used and may be expensive to re-create.
* parent: String to another named view in this hash that represents the
parent view within the application's view hierarchy; e.g. a "photo"
view could have "album" has its parent view. This parent/child
relationship is a useful cue for things like transitions.
* instance: Used internally to manage the current instance of this named
view. This can be used if your view instance is created up-front, or if
you would rather manage the View lifecycle, but you probably should just
let this be handled for you.
If views are specified at instantiation time, the metadata in the views
Object here will be used as defaults when creating the instance's views.
Every Y.App instance gets its own copy of a views object so this Object
on the prototype will not be polluted.
Default: {}
Example:
// Imagine that Y.UsersView and Y.UserView have been defined.
var app = new Y.App({
views: {
users: {
type : Y.UsersView,
preserve: true
},
user: {
type : Y.UserView,
parent: 'users'
}
}
});
Attributes
activeView
View
readonly
activeView use the
showView() method.
Default: null
addPjaxParam
Boolean
true, a "pjax=1" query parameter will be appended to all URLs
requested via Pjax.
Browsers ignore HTTP request headers when caching content, so if the
same URL is used to request a partial Pjax page and a full page, the
browser will cache them under the same key and may later load the
cached partial page when the user actually requests a full page (or vice
versa).
To prevent this, we can add a bogus query parameter to the URL so that
Pjax URLs will always be cached separately from non-Pjax URLs.
Default: true
allowFallThrough
Boolean
window.location when calling navigate()
if no routes match the specified URL.
Default: true
config
Object | Undefined
The application configuration. It is dispatched to the others application attributes/properties at build time.
container
HTMLElement | Node | String
<body> Node, but you can override this in
a subclass, or by passing in a custom container config value at
instantiation time.
When container is overridden by a subclass or passed as a config
option at instantiation time, it may be provided as a selector string, a
DOM element, or a Y.Node instance. During initialization, this app's
create() method will be called to convert the container into a
Y.Node instance if it isn't one already and stamp it with the CSS
class: "yui3-app".
The container is not added to the page automatically. This allows you to
have full control over how and when your app is actually rendered to
the page.
Default: Y.one('body')
contentCreationDefaultLanguageCode
String
readonly
Default language code, as defined by the current siteaccess language config.
Default: "eng-GB"
contentSelector
String
example.html but only use
the content within an element with the id "pjax-content", you'd set
contentSelector to "#pjax-content".
If not set, the entire page will be used.
Default: null
destroyed
Boolean
readonly
Default: false
html5
Boolean
serverRouting and will default
accordingly.
Setting this to false will force the use of hash-based history even on
HTML5 browsers, but please don't do this unless you understand the
consequences.
initialized
Boolean
readonly
Default: false
interfaceLanguages
Array
readonly
List of preferred languages in which the interface should be translated.
Default: ['en']
linkSelector
String | Function
href URL using the enhanced, pjax, behavior will be
attempted; and the browser's default way to navigate to new pages will
be the fallback.
By default this selector will match _all_ links on the page.
Default: "a"
localesMap
Object
readonly
Holds the Locales conversion map between eZ Locale codes and POSIX ones. See locale.yml
Default: {}
params
Object
name -> RegExp | Function.
If a param handler regex or function returns a value of false, null,
undefined, or NaN, the current route will not match and be skipped.
All other return values will be used in place of the original param
value parsed from the URL.
This attribute is intended to be used to set params at init time, or to
completely reset all params after init. To add params after init without
resetting all existing params, use the param() method.
Default: `{}`
root
String
http://example.com/myapp/ and you add a route with the path /, your
route will never execute, because the path will always be preceded by
/myapp. Setting root to /myapp would cause all routes to be
evaluated relative to that root URL, so the / route would then execute
when the user browses to http://example.com/myapp/.
Default: `''`
Example:
router.set('root', '/myapp');
router.route('/foo', function () { ... });
Y.log(router.hasRoute('/foo')); // => false
Y.log(router.hasRoute('/myapp/foo')); // => true
// Updates the URL to: "/myapp/foo"
router.save('/foo');
routes
Object
path: String or regex representing the path to match. See the docs
for the route() method for more details.
* callbacks: Function or a string representing the name of a
function on this router instance that should be called when the
route is triggered. An array of functions and/or strings may also be
provided. See the docs for the route() method for more details.
If a route object contains a regex or regexp property, or if its
path is a regular express, then the route will be considered to be
fully-processed. Any fully-processed routes may contain the following
properties:
* regex: The regular expression representing the path to match, this
property may also be named regexp for greater compatibility.
* keys: Array of named path parameters used to populate req.params
objects when dispatching to route handlers.
Any additional data contained on these route objects will be retained.
This is useful to store extra metadata about a route; e.g., a name to
give routes logical names.
This attribute is intended to be used to set routes at init time, or to
completely reset all routes after init. To add routes after init without
resetting all existing routes, use the route() method.
Default: `[]`
scrollToTop
Boolean
Default: true
serverRouting
Boolean
undefined: The best form of URLs will be chosen based on the
capabilities of the browser. Given no information about the server
environmentm a balanced approach to routing and navigation is
chosen.
The server should be capable of handling full-path requests, since
full-URLs will be generated by browsers using HTML5 history. If this
is a client-side-only app the server could handle full-URL requests
by sending a redirect back to the root with a hash-based URL, e.g:
Request: http://example.com/users/1
Redirect to: http://example.com/#/users/1
* true: The server is *fully* capable of properly handling requests
to all full-path URLs the app can produce.
This is the best option for progressive-enhancement because it will
cause **all URLs to always have full-paths**, which means the server
will be able to accurately handle all URLs this app produces. e.g.
http://example.com/users/1
To meet this strict full-URL requirement, browsers which are not
capable of using HTML5 history will make requests to the server
resulting in full-page reloads.
* false: The server is *not* capable of properly handling requests
to all full-path URLs the app can produce, therefore all routing
will be handled by this App instance.
Be aware that this will cause **all URLs to always be hash-based**,
even in browsers that are capable of using HTML5 history. e.g.
http://example.com/#/users/1
A single-page or client-side-only app where the server sends a
"shell" page with JavaScript to the client might have this
restriction. If you're setting this to false, read the following:
**Note:** When this is set to false, the server will *never* receive
the full URL because browsers do not send the fragment-part to the
server, that is everything after and including the "#".
Consider the following example:
URL shown in browser: http://example.com/#/users/1
URL sent to server: http://example.com/
You should feel bad about hurting our precious web if you forcefully set
either serverRouting or html5 to false, because you're basically
punching the web in the face here with your lossy URLs! Please make sure
you know what you're doing and that you understand the implications.
Ideally you should always prefer full-path URLs (not /#/foo/), and want
full-page reloads when the client's browser is not capable of enhancing
the experience using the HTML5 history APIs. Setting this to true is
the best option for progressive-enhancement (and graceful-degradation).
Default: undefined
systemLanguageList
Object
readonly
System language list provided with config. The list is hash containing language objects and is indexed by languageCode.
Default: {}
titleSelector
String
<title> element,
but you could customize it to extract the title from an <h1>, or from
any other element, if that's more appropriate for the content you're
loading.
Default: "title"
transitions
Boolean | Object
true for the defaults which are specified by the
transitions prototype property.
**Note:** Transitions are an opt-in feature and will only be used in
browsers which support native CSS3 transitions.
Default: false
viewContainer
HTMLElement | Node | String
views will be rendered when they become
the activeView.
The view container node serves as the container to hold the app's
activeView. Each time the activeView is set via showView(), the
previous view will be removed from this node, and the new active view's
container node will be appended.
The default view container is a <div> Node, but you can override this
in a subclass, or by passing in a custom viewContainer config value at
instantiation time. The viewContainer may be provided as a selector
string, DOM element, or a Y.Node instance (having the viewContainer
and the container be the same node is also supported).
The app's render() method will stamp the view container with the CSS
class "yui3-app-views" and append it to the app's container node if
it isn't already, and any activeView will be appended to this node if
it isn't already.
Default: Y.Node.create(this.containerTemplate)
Events
destroy
Lifecycle event for the destroy phase, fired prior to destruction. Invoking the preventDefault method on the event object provided to subscribers will prevent destruction from proceeding.
Subscribers to the "after" moment of this event, will be notified after destruction is complete (and as a result cannot prevent destruction).
Event Payload:
-
eEventFacadeEvent object
init
Lifecycle event for the init phase, fired prior to initialization. Invoking the preventDefault() method on the event object provided to subscribers will prevent initialization from occuring.
Subscribers to the "after" momemt of this event, will be notified after initialization of the object is complete (and therefore cannot prevent initialization).
Event Payload:
-
eEventFacadeEvent object, with a cfg property which refers to the configuration object passed to the constructor.
ready
Event Payload:
-
dispatchedBooleantrueif routes have already been dispatched (most likely due to a history change).
