Methods

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

  • [arg*] Any optional

    0..n additional arguments to supply to the subscriber

Returns:

EventHandle:

A subscription handle capable of detaching the subscription

attachEvents

()

Inherited from View but overwritten in datatable/js/paginator.js:108

Available since 3.11.0

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

getTargets

()

Returns:

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

()

Defined in datatable/js/paginator.js:68

Available since 3.11.0

Sets classnames on the templates and bind events

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 addAttr, or an appropriate manner for a class which utilises Attributes (e.g. the ATTRS property in Base).

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

Properties

containerTemplate

String

Inherited from View but overwritten in datatable/js/paginator.js:40

Available since 3.11.0

Template for this view's container.

Default: '<div class="yui3-datatable-paginator"/>'

contentTemplate

String

Defined in datatable/js/paginator.js:49

Available since 3.11.0

Template for content. Helps maintain order of controls.

Default: '{buttons}{goto}{perPage}'

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)

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.
