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

_afterActiveReRender

() protected
Method called after the field edit view has been rendered while it's already active. This means the view is re-rendered and this allows to update the generated UI for instance when a UI widget is used and needs to be initialized as if the view becomes active.

_afterContainerChange

() protected

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:357

Available since 3.5.0

Handles 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.

_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.

() private
Internal initialization implementation for BaseCore

_checkValidityDescription

() protected
Check if the fieldValue is valid, and if it is, hide de description

_cloneDefaultValue

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

Parameters:

_errorUI

(
  • e
)
protected
Reflects in the UI the errorStatus change

Parameters:

    the event facade of the errorStatusChange event

_filterAdHocAttrs

(
  • allAttrs
  • userVals
)
Object private

Parameters:

addAttr

(
  • name
  • config
  • lazy
)
Object chainable

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:

  • name String

    The name of the attribute.

  • config Object

    An 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.

  • lazy Boolean

    (optional) Whether or not to add this attribute lazily (on the first call to get/set).

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

addAttrs

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

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:

  • 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.

Returns:

Object: A reference to the host object.

addTarget

(
  • o
)
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*]
)
EventHandle
Subscribe to a custom event hosted by this object. The supplied callback will execute after any listeners add via the subscribe method, and after the default function, if configured for the event, has executed.

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

attachEvents

(
  • [events]
)
chainable

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:181

Attaches delegated event handlers to this view's container element. This method is called internally to subscribe to events configured in the events attribute when the view is initialized. You may override this method to customize the event attaching logic.

Parameters:

  • [events] Object optional
    Hash of events to attach. See the docs for the events attribute for details on the format. If not specified, this view's events property will be used.

attrAdded

(
  • 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

create

(
  • [container]
)
Node

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:233

Creates and returns a container node for this view. By default, the container is created from the HTML template specified in the containerTemplate property, and is _not_ added to the DOM automatically. You may override this method to customize how the container node is created (such as by rendering it from a custom template format). Your method must return a Y.Node instance.

Parameters:

  • [container] HTMLElement | Node | String optional
    Selector string, Y.Node instance, or DOM element to use at the container node.

Returns:

Node: Node instance of the created container node.

destroy

(
  • [options]
)
chainable

Inherited from BaseObservable but overwritten in app/js/view.js:146

Destroys this View, detaching any DOM events and optionally also destroying its container node. By default, the container node will not be destroyed. Pass an _options_ object with a truthy remove property to destroy the container as well.

Parameters:

  • [options] Object optional
    Options.
    • [remove=false] Boolean optional

      If true, this View's container will be removed from the DOM and destroyed as well.

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

detachEvents

() chainable

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:253

Detaches DOM events that have previously been attached to the container by attachEvents().

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.

get

(
  • name
)
Any
Returns the current value of the attribute. If the attribute has been configured with a 'getter' function, this method will delegate to the 'getter' to obtain the value of the attribute.

Parameters:

  • name String

    The name of the attribute. If the value of the attribute is an Object, dot notation can be used to obtain the value of a property of the object (e.g. get("x.y.z"))

Returns:

Any:

The value of the attribute

getAttrs

(
  • attrs
)
Object
Gets multiple attribute values.

Parameters:

  • attrs String | Boolean
    Optional. An array of attribute names. If omitted, all attribute values are returned. If set to true, all attributes modified from their initial values are returned.

Returns:

Object: An object with attribute name/value pairs.

getEvent

(
  • type
  • prefixed
)
CustomEvent
Returns the custom event of the provided type has been created, a falsy value otherwise

Parameters:

  • type String
    the type, or name of the event
  • prefixed String
    if true, the type is prefixed already

Returns:

CustomEvent: the custom event or null

getField

()
Returns an updated version of the field containing a field value reflecting the current user input. Returns undefined when the field value should not be taken into account.

Returns:

Object or undefined

getTargets

()

EventTarget[]

init

(
  • cfg
)
BaseCore chainable

Inherited from BaseObservable but overwritten in base/js/BaseCore.js:319

Init lifecycle method, invoked during construction. Sets up attributes and invokes initializers for the class hierarchy.

Parameters:

  • cfg Object
    Object with configuration property name/value pairs

Returns:

BaseCore: A reference to this object

initializer

()
Custom initializer method, it sets the event handling on the errorStatusChange event

isValid

()
Returns whether the view is currently in a valid state

Returns:

boolean

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

  • [context] Object optional
    Override this object in callback
  • [arg*] Any optional
    0..n additional arguments to supply to the subscriber

Returns:

onceAfter

(
  • type
  • fn

_allowAdHocAttrs

Boolean protected

Inherited from BaseCore but overwritten in app/js/view.js:111

Available since 3.5.0

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

Default: true

_errorClass

String protected
Contains the class to add/remove on/from the container when an error is detected.

Default: 'is-error'

_errorDefaultContent

String protected
Contains the default content of the error message placeholder. It is used to restore the error placeholder when the view switches from the error state to the normal state.

_handleFieldDescriptionVisibility

Boolean protected
Set if the fieldDefinition description is active or not.

Default: true

_tooltipInitialPosition

Array protected
Contains the initial X an Y position of a tooltip This will be used to restore its position when vanishing

_useStandardFieldDefinitionDescription

Boolean protected
Set if the fieldDefinition description has the standard display. Standard means it will use the ez-standard-description CSS rule from fieldedit.css

Default: true

containerTemplate

String

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:40

Available since 3.5.0

Template for this view's container.

Default: "<div/>"

events

Object

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:50

Hash of CSS selectors mapped to events to delegate to elements matching those selectors. CSS selectors are relative to the container element. Events are attached to the container, and delegation is used so that subscribers are only notified of events that occur on elements inside the container that match the specified selectors. This allows the container's contents to be re- rendered as needed without losing event subscriptions. Event handlers can be specified either as functions or as strings that map to function names on this view instance or its prototype. The this object in event handlers will refer to this view instance. If you'd prefer this to be something else, use Y.bind() to bind a custom this object.

Default: {}

Example:

var view = new Y.View({
    events: {
        // Call this.toggle() whenever the element with the id
        // "toggle-button" is clicked.
        '#toggle-button': {click: 'toggle'},

        // Call this.hoverOn() when the mouse moves over any element
        // with the "hoverable" class, and this.hoverOff() when the
        // mouse moves out of any element with the "hoverable" class.
        '.hoverable': {
            mouseover: 'hoverOn',
            mouseout : 'hoverOff'
        }
    }
});

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.

template

Mixed

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:91

Template for this view's contents. This is a convenience property that has no default behavior of its own. It's only provided as a convention to allow you to store whatever you consider to be a template, whether that's an HTML string, a Y.Node instance, a Mustache template, or anything else your little heart desires. How this template gets used is entirely up to you and your custom render() method.

Default: ''

Attributes

container

HTMLElement | Node | String

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:376

Container node into which this view's content will be rendered. The container node serves as the host for all DOM events attached by the view. Delegation is used to handle events on children of the container, allowing the container's contents to be re-rendered at any time without losing event subscriptions. The default container is a <div> Node, but you can override this in a subclass, or by passing in a custom container config value at instantiation time. If you override the default container in a subclass using ATTRS, you must use the valueFn property. The view's constructor will ignore any assignments using value. When container is overridden by a subclass or passed as a config option at instantiation time, you can provide it as a selector string, a DOM element, a Y.Node instance, or (if you are subclassing and modifying the attribute), a valueFn function that returns a Y.Node instance. The value will be converted into a Y.Node instance if it isn't one already. The container is not added to the page automatically. This allows you to have full control over how and when your view is actually rendered to the page.

Default: Y.Node.create(this.containerTemplate)

content

contentType

eZ.ContentType
The content type of the content

Default: null

destroyed

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

Default: null

fieldDefinition

Object
The field definition of the field to edit

Default: null

initialized

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

user

eZ.User required
The logged in user

version

eZ.Version

Default: null

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:

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.
