Constructor

Methods

_addAttrs

(
  • cfgs
  • values
  • lazy
)
private
Implementation behind the public addAttrs method. This method is invoked directly by get if it encounters a scenario in which an attribute's valueFn attempts to obtain the value an attribute in the same group of attributes, which has not yet been added (on demand initialization).

Parameters:

  • cfgs Object
    An object with attribute name/configuration pairs.
  • values Object
    An 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.
  • lazy Boolean
    Whether 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]
)
private
Finishes initializing an attribute which has been lazily added.

Parameters:

  • name Object
    The name of the attribute
  • [lazyCfg] Object optional
    Optional 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
)
private
Utility method used by get/set to add attributes encountered out of order when calling addAttrs(). For example, if: this.addAttrs({ foo: { setter: function() { // make sure this bar is available when foo is added this.get("bar"); } }, bar: { value: ... } });

Parameters:

  • name String
    attribute name
  • cfg Object
    attribute configuration

_aggregateAttrs

(
  • allAttrs
)
Object private
A helper method, used by _initHierarchyData to aggregate attribute configuration across the instances class hierarchy. The method will protect the attribute configuration value to protect the statically defined default value in ATTRS if required (if the value is an object literal, array or the attribute configuration has cloneDefaultValue set to shallow or deep).

Parameters:

  • allAttrs Array
    An array of ATTRS definitions across classes in the hierarchy (subclass first, Base last)

Returns:

Object: The aggregate set of ATTRS definitions for the instance

_attrCfgHash

() private
Utility method to define the attribute hash used to filter/whitelist property mixes for this class for iteration performance reasons.

_baseDestroy

() private
Internal destroy implementation for BaseCore

_baseInit

() private
Internal initialization implementation for BaseCore

_cloneDefaultValue

Parameters:

  • cfg Object

_defAttrChangeFn

(
  • e
  • eventFastPath
)
private
Default function for attribute change events.

Parameters:

  • e EventFacade

)
protected
Default destroy event handler

Parameters:

_defInitFn

(
  • e
)
protected
Default init event handler

Parameters:

  • e EventFacade
    Event object, with a cfg property which refers to the configuration object passed to the constructor.

_filterAdHocAttrs

(
  • allAttrs
  • userVals
)
Object private

Parameters:

  • allAttrs Object
    The set of all attribute configurations for this instance. Attributes will be removed from this set, if they belong to the filtered class, so that by the time all classes are processed, allCfgs will be empty.
  • userVals Object
    The config object passed in by the user, from which adhoc attrs are to be filtered.

Returns:

Object: The set of adhoc attributes passed in, in the form of an object with attribute name/configuration pairs.

_fireAttrChange

(
  • attrName
  • subAttrName
  • currVal
  • newVal
  • opts

_getFullType

(
  • type
)
String private
Returns the fully qualified type, given a short type string. That is, returns "foo:bar" when given "bar" if "foo" is the configured prefix.

_monitor

(
  • what
  • eventType
  • o

Object protected chainable

Inherited from AttributeCore but overwritten in app/js/model.js:812

Duckpunches the addAttr method provided by Y.Attribute to keep the id attribute’s value and a custom id attribute’s (if provided) value in sync when adding the attributes to the model instance object. Marked as protected to hide it from Model's public API docs, even though this is a public method in Attribute.

Parameters:

    The name of the attribute.
  • config Object
    An object with attribute configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration for the attribute.

Returns:

Object: A reference to the host object.

addAttrs

(
  • cfgs
  • values
  • lazy
)
Object chainable
Configures a group of attributes, and sets initial values.

Parameters:

  • cfgs Object
    An object with attribute name/configuration pairs.
  • values Object
    An 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.

chainable
Registers another EventTarget as a bubble target. Bubble order is determined by the order registered. Multiple targets can be specified. Events can only bubble if emitFacade is true. Included in the event-custom-complex submodule.

Parameters:

after

(
  • type
  • fn
  • [context]
  • [arg*]

    The name of the event
  • fn Function
    The callback to execute in response to the event
  • [context] Object optional
    Override this object in callback

  • name
)
Boolean
Checks if the given attribute has been added to the host

Parameters:

  • name String
    The name of the attribute to check.

Returns:

Boolean: true if an attribute with the given name has been added, false if it hasn't. This method will return true for lazily added attributes.

before

()
Executes the callback before a DOM event, custom event or method. If the first argument is a function, it is assumed the target is a method. For DOM and custom events, this is an alias for Y.on. For DOM and custom events: type, callback, context, 0-n arguments For methods: callback, object (method host), methodName, context, 0-n arguments

Returns:

detach handle

bubble

(
  • evt
)
Boolean
Propagate an event. Requires the event-custom-complex module.

Parameters:

Returns:

Boolean: the aggregated return value from Event.Custom.fire

destroy

(
  • [options]
  • [callback]
)
chainable

Inherited from BaseObservable but overwritten in app/js/model.js:205

Destroys this model instance and removes it from its containing lists, if any. The _callback_, if one is provided, will be called after the model is destroyed. If options.remove is true, then this method delegates to the sync() method to delete the model from the persistence layer, which is an asynchronous action. In this case, the _callback_ (if provided) will be called after the sync layer indicates success or failure of the delete operation.

Parameters:

  • [options] Object optional
    Sync options. It's up to the custom sync implementation to determine what options it supports or requires, if any.
    • [remove=false] Boolean optional

      If true, the model will be deleted via the sync layer in addition to the instance being destroyed.

  • [callback] Function optional
    Called after the model has been destroyed (and deleted via the sync layer if options.remove is true).
    • err Error | Null

      If an error occurred, this parameter will contain the error. Otherwise err will be null.

detach

(
  • type
  • fn
  • context
)
EventTarget
Detach one or more listeners the from the specified event

Parameters:

  • type String | Object
    Either the handle to the subscriber or the type of event. If the type is not specified, it will attempt to remove the listener from all hosted events.
  • fn Function
    The subscribed function to unsubscribe, if not supplied, all subscribers will be removed.
  • context Object
    The custom object passed to subscribe. This is optional, but if supplied will be used to disambiguate multiple listeners that are the same (e.g., you subscribe many object using a function that lives on the prototype)

Returns:

EventTarget: the host

detachAll

(
  • type
)
Removes all listeners from the specified event. If the event type is not specified, all listeners from all hosted custom events will be removed.

Parameters:

  • type String
    The type, or name of the event

fire

(
  • type
  • arguments
)
Boolean
Fire a custom event by name. The callback functions will be executed from the context specified when the event was created, and with the following parameters. The first argument is the event type, and any additional arguments are passed to the listeners as parameters. If the first of these is an object literal, and the event is configured to emit an event facade, that object is mixed into the event facade and the facade is provided in place of the original object. If the custom event object hasn't been created, then the event hasn't been published and it has no subscribers. For performance sake, we immediate exit in this case. This means the event won't bubble, so if the intention is that a bubble target be notified, the event must be published on this object first.

Parameters:

  • type String | Object
    The type of the event, or an object that contains a 'type' property.
  • arguments Object
    an arbitrary set of parameters to pass to the handler. If the first of these is an object literal and the event is configured to emit an event facade, the event facade will replace that parameter after the properties the object literal contains are copied to the event facade.

Returns:

Boolean: True if the whole lifecycle of the event went through, false if at any point the event propagation was halted.

generateClientId

() String

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:260

Returns a clientId string that's unique among all models on the current page (even models in other YUI instances). Uniqueness across pageviews is unlikely.

Returns:

String: Unique clientId.

get

(
  • name
)
Any

Inherited from AttributeCore but overwritten in app/js/model.js:273

Returns the value of the specified attribute. If the attribute's value is an object, _name_ may use dot notation to specify the path to a specific property within the object, and the value of that property will be returned.

Parameters:

  • name String
    Attribute name or object property path.

Returns:

Any: Attribute value, or undefined if the attribute doesn't exist.

Example:

// Set the 'foo' attribute to an object.
myModel.set('foo', {
    bar: {
        baz: 'quux'
    }
});

// Get the value of 'foo'.
myModel.get('foo');

isModified

() Boolean

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:331

isNew

() Boolean

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:346

Returns true if this model is "new", meaning it hasn't been saved since it was created. Newness is determined by checking whether the model's id attribute has been set. An empty id is assumed to indicate a new model, whereas a non-empty id indicates a model that was either loaded or has been saved since it was created.

Returns:

Boolean: true if this model is new, false otherwise.

load

(
  • [options]
  • [callback]
)
chainable

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:362

Loads this model from the server. This method delegates to the sync() method to perform the actual load operation, which is an asynchronous action. Specify a _callback_ function to be notified of success or failure. A successful load operation will fire a load event, while an unsuccessful load operation will fire an error event with the src value "load". If the load operation succeeds and one or more of the loaded attributes differ from this model's current attributes, a change event will be fired.

Parameters:

  • [options] Object optional
    Options to be passed to sync() and to set() when setting the loaded attributes. It's up to the custom sync implementation to determine what options it supports or requires, if any.
  • [callback] Function optional
    Called when the sync operation finishes.
    • err Error | Null

      If an error occurred, this parameter will contain the error. If the sync operation succeeded, err will be null.

    • response Any

      The server's response. This value will be passed to the parse() method, which is expected to parse it and return an attribute hash.

loadFromHash

(
  • hash
)

Loads the model from a simple literal object. It applies the mapping described by the ATTRS_REST_MAP and LINKS_MAP.

Parameters:

  • hash Object

    a literal object to import

modifyAttr

(
  • name
  • config
)
Updates the configuration of an attribute which has already been added.

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:

  • name String
    The name of the attribute whose configuration is to be updated.
  • config Object
    An object with configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration properties to modify.

on

(
  • type
  • fn
  • [context]
  • [arg*]
)
EventHandle
Subscribe a callback function to a custom event fired by this object or from an object that bubbles its events to this object. this.on("change", this._onChange, this); Callback functions for events published with 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:

  • type String
    The name of the event
  • fn Function
    The callback to execute in response to the event
  • [context] Object optional
    Override this object in callback
  • [arg*] Any optional

Returns:

EventHandle: A subscription handle capable of detaching that subscription

once

(
  • type
  • fn
  • [context]

  • [context] Object optional
    Override this object in callback
  • [arg*] Any optional

onceAfter

(
  • type

  • name String
    Attribute name or object property path.
  • value Any
    Value to set.
  • [options] Object optional
    Data to be mixed into the event facade of the change event(s) for these attributes.

Inherited from EventTarget: event-custom/js/event-target.js:346

Deprecated: use on

subscribe to an event

sync

(
  • action
  • options
  • callback
)

sync implementation that relies on the JS REST client. It only supports the 'read' action. The callback is directly passed to the corresponding ContentService methods.

Parameters:

  • action String

    the action, currently only 'read' is supported

  • options Object

    the options for the sync.

    • api Object

      (required) the JS REST client instance

  • callback Function

    a callback executed when the operation is finished

toJSON

Object:

toString

() String
Default toString implementation. Provides the constructor NAME and the instance guid, if set.

Returns:

String: String representation for this object

undo

(
  • [attrNames]
  • [options]
)
chainable

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:723

Reverts the last change to the model. If an _attrNames_ array is provided, then only the named attributes will be reverted (and only if they were modified in the previous change). If no _attrNames_ array is provided, then all changed attributes will be reverted to their previous values. Note that only one level of undo is available: from the current state to the previous state. If undo() is called when no previous state is available, it will simply do nothing.

Parameters:

  • [attrNames] String optional
    Array of specific attribute names to revert. If not specified, all attributes modified in the last change will be reverted.
  • [options] Object optional
    Data to be mixed into the event facade of the change event(s) for these attributes.
    • [silent=false] Boolean optional

      If true, no change event will be fired.

unsubscribe

() deprecated

Inherited from EventTarget: event-custom/js/event-target.js:469

Deprecated: use detach

detach a listener

unsubscribeAll

(
  • type
)
deprecated

Inherited from EventTarget: event-custom/js/event-target.js:490

Deprecated: use detachAll

Removes all listeners from the specified event. If the event type is not specified, all listeners from all hosted custom events will be removed.

Parameters:

  • type String
    The type, or name of the event

validate

(
  • attrs
  • callback
)

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:766

Override this method to provide custom validation logic for this model. While attribute-specific validators can be used to validate individual attributes, this method gives you a hook to validate a hash of all attributes before the model is saved. This method is called automatically before save() takes any action. If validation fails, the save() call will be aborted. In your validation method, call the provided callback function with no arguments to indicate success. To indicate failure, pass a single argument, which may contain an error message, an array of error messages, or any other value. This value will be passed along to the error event.

Parameters:

  • attrs Object
    Attribute hash containing all model attributes to be validated.
  • callback Function
    Validation callback. Call this function when your validation logic finishes. To trigger a validation failure, pass any value as the first argument to the callback (ideally a meaningful validation error of some kind).
    • [err] Any optional

      Validation error. Don't provide this argument if validation succeeds. If validation fails, set this to an error message or some other meaningful value. It will be passed along to the resulting error event.

Example:

model.validate = function (attrs, callback) {
    if (attrs.pie !== true) {
        // No pie?! Invalid!
        callback('Must provide pie.');
        return;
    }

    // Success!
    callback();
};

Properties

_allowAdHocAttrs

Boolean protected

Inherited from BaseCore but overwritten in app/js/model.js:169

Available since 3.5.0

This tells Y.Base that it should create ad-hoc attributes for config properties passed to Model's constructor. This makes it possible to instantiate a model and set a bunch of attributes without having to subclass Y.Model and declare all those attributes first.

Default: true

_isYUIModel

Boolean protected

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:183

Available since 3.5.0

Total hack to allow us to identify Model instances without using instanceof, which won't work when the instance was created in another window or YUI sandbox.

Default: true

changed

Object

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:100

Hash of attributes that have changed since the last time this model was saved.

Default: {}

idAttribute

String

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:109

Name of the attribute to use as the unique id (or primary key) for this model. The default is id, but if your persistence layer uses a different name for the primary key (such as _id or uid), you can specify that here. The built-in id attribute will always be an alias for whatever attribute name you specify here, so getting and setting id will always behave the same as getting and setting your custom id attribute.

Default: `'id'`

lastChange

Object

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:126

Hash of attributes that were changed in the last change event. Each item in this hash is an object with the following properties: * newVal: The new value of the attribute after it changed. * prevVal: The old value of the attribute before it changed. * src: The source of the change, or null if no source was specified.

Default: {}

lists

ModelList[]

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:139

Array of ModelList instances that contain this model. When a model is in one or more lists, the model's events will bubble up to those lists. You can subscribe to a model event on a list to be notified when any model in the list fires that event. This property is updated automatically when this model is added to or removed from a ModelList instance. You shouldn't alter it manually. When working with models in a list, you should always add and remove models using the list's add() and remove() methods.

Default: `[]`

Example:

Subscribing to model events on a list:

// Assuming list is an existing Y.ModelList instance.
list.on('*:change', function (e) {
    // This function will be called whenever any model in the list
    // fires a change event.
    //
    // e.target will refer to the model instance that fired the
    // event.
});

name

String deprecated

Inherited from BaseCore: base/js/BaseCore.js:297

Deprecated: Use this.constructor.NAME

The string used to identify the class of this object.

Attributes

clientId

String readonly

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:967

A client-only identifier for this model. Like the id attribute, clientId may be used to retrieve model instances from lists. Unlike the id attribute, clientId is automatically generated, and is only intended to be used on the client during the current pageview.

Default: false

id

Number

The section's id

Default: null

identifier

String

The section's identifier

Default: ''

initialized

Boolean readonly
Flag indicating whether or not this object has been through the init lifecycle phase.

Default: false

name

String

The section's name

Default: ''

Contains the URI to linked resources Example:

{
                       Owner: '/api/ezp/v2/user/users/14',
                       MainLocation: '/api/ezp/v2/content/locations/1/2/61'
                    }

Default: {}

Events

change

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:30

Fired when one or more attributes on this model are changed.

Event Payload:

  • changed Object
    Hash of change information for each attribute that changed. Each item in the hash has the following properties:
    • newVal Any

      New value of the attribute.

    • prevVal Any

      Previous value of the attribute.

    • src String | Null

      Source of the change event, if any.

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:

error

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:42

Fired when an error occurs, such as when the model doesn't validate or when a sync layer response can't be parsed.

Event Payload:

  • error Any
    Error message, object, or exception generated by the error. Calling toString() on this should result in a meaningful error message.
  • src String
    Source of the error. May be one of the following (or any custom error source defined by a Model subclass): * load: An error loading the model from a sync layer. The sync layer's response (if any) will be provided as the response property on the event facade. * parse: An error parsing a JSON response. The response in question will be provided as the response property on the event facade. * save: An error saving the model to a sync layer. The sync layer's response (if any) will be provided as the response property on the event facade. * validate: The model failed to validate. The attributes being validated will be provided as the attributes property on the event facade.

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:

  • e EventFacade
    Event object, with a cfg property which refers to the configuration object passed to the constructor.

load

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:69

Available since 3.5.0

Fired after model attributes are loaded from a sync layer.

Event Payload:

  • parsed Object
    The parsed version of the sync layer's response to the load request.
  • response Any
    The sync layer's raw, unparsed response to the load request.

save

Inherited from Model: app/js/model.js:81

Available since 3.5.0

Fired after model attributes are saved to a sync layer.

Event Payload:

  • [parsed] Object optional
    The parsed version of the sync layer's response to the save request, if there was a response.
  • [response] Any optional
    The sync layer's raw, unparsed response to the save request, if there was one.
