Methods

addAll(…child)

Adds one or more children to this widget. This method will flatten any arrays among the arguments and ignores any null or undefined arguments. Any DOM nodes or widgets will be added to the end, and other objects will be converted to a text node first. Subclasses should normally override the addChildNode() method instead of this one, since that is the basis for DOM node insertion.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
child {string|Node|Array} <repeatable>
the children to add
Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#addAll
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 581

addChildNode(child)

Adds a single child table column widget to this widget.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
child {Widget} the table column widget to add
Overrides:
RapidContext.Widget#addChildNode
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 186

addClass(…cls)

Adds the specified CSS class names to this HTML DOM node.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
cls {string|Array} <repeatable>
the CSS class names to add
Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#addClass
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 343

addSelectedIds(…id) → {Array}

Adds the specified row id values to the selection. If the current selection is changed the select signal will be emitted.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
id {string|Array} <repeatable>
the row ids or array with ids to select
Returns:
{Array} an array with the new row ids actually selected
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 554

animate(opts)

Performs a visual effect animation on this widget. This is implemented using the MochiKit.Visual effect package. All options sent to this function will be passed on to the appropriate MochiKit.Visual function.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
opts {Object} the visual effect options
Properties
Name Type Description
effect {string} the MochiKit.Visual effect name
queue {string} the MochiKit.Visual queue handling, defaults to "replace" and a unique scope for each widget (see MochiKit.Visual for full options)
Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#animate
Deprecated:
Use CSS animations instead.
Example:
widget.animate({ effect: "fade", duration: 0.5 });
widget.animate({ effect: "Move", transition: "spring", y: 300 });
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 502

blurAll()

Blurs (unfocuses) this DOM node and all relevant child nodes. This function will recursively blur all <a>, <button>, <input>, <textarea> and <select> child nodes found.

Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#blurAll
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 521

clear()

Clears all the data in the table. The column headers will not be affected by this method. Use removeAll() or removeChildNode() to also remove columns.

Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 292

destroy()

The internal widget destructor function. This method should only be called by destroyWidget() and may be overridden by subclasses. By default this method does nothing.

Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#destroy
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 198

disable()

Disables this widget if it was previously enabled. This method is equivalent to calling setAttrs({ disabled: true }).

Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#disable
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 434

emit(event, optsopt) → {boolean}

Dispatches a single event from this DOM node. Also creates a new CustomEvent instance if needed.

Parameters:

event {string/Event} the event type name or instance
opts {Object} <optional>
the event options
Properties
Name Type Attributes Default Description
async {boolean} <optional>
true the async dispatch flag

{boolean} true if event was async or not cancelled
Inherited From:
RapidContext.UI.Event#emit
Source:
rapidcontext/ui/event.mjs, line 26

enable()

Enables this widget if it was previously disabled. This is equivalent to calling setAttrs({ disabled: false }).

Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#enable
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 426

getCellElem(row, col) → {Node}

Returns a table cell element.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
row {number} the row index
col {number} the column index
Returns:
{Node} the table cell element node, or null if not found
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 277

getChildNodes() → {Array}

Returns an array with all child DOM nodes. Note that the array is a real JavaScript array, not a dynamic NodeList. This method is sometimes overridden by child widgets in order to hide intermediate DOM nodes required by the widget.

Returns:
{Array} the array of child DOM nodes
Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#getChildNodes
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 533

getColumnIndex(field) → {number}

Returns the column index of a field.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
field {string} the field name
Returns:
{number} the column index, or -1 if not found
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 213

getData() → {Array}

Returns an array with the data in the table. The array returned normally correspond exactly to the one previously set, i.e. it has not been sorted or modified in other ways. If updateData() is called however, a new data array is created to match current rows.

Returns:
{Array} an array with the data in the table
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 305

getIdKey() → {string}

Returns the unique key identifier column field, or null if none was set.

Returns:
{string} the key column field name, or null for none
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 225

getRowCount() → {number}

Returns the number of rows in the table. This is a convenience method for getData().length.

Returns:
{number} the number of table rows
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 470

getRowId(index) → {string}

Returns the row id for the specified row index. If the row index is out of bounds, null will be returned. The row ids are the data values from the key column, or automatically generated internal values if no key column is set. Note that the row index uses the current table sort order.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
index {number} the row index, 0 <= index < row count
Returns:
{string} the unique row id, or null if not found
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 485

getSelectedData() → {Object|Array}

Returns the currently selected row data.

Returns:
{Object|Array} the data row selected, or an array of selected data rows if multiple selection is enabled
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 508

getSelectedIds() → {Array}

Returns the currently selected row ids. If no rows are selected, an empty array will be returned. The row ids are the data values from the key column, or automatically generated internal values if no key column is set.

Returns:
{Array} an array with the selected row ids
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 498

getSortKey() → {string}

Returns the current sort key for the table.

Returns:
{string} the current sort field, or null for none
Source:
RapidContext_Widget_Table.js, line 259

hasClass(…cls) → {boolean}

Checks if this HTML DOM node has the specified CSS class names. Note that more than one CSS class name may be checked, in which case all must be present.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
cls {string|Array} <repeatable>
the CSS class names to check
Returns:
{boolean} true if all CSS classes were present, or false otherwise
Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#hasClass
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 325

hide()

Hides this widget node if it was previously visible. This method is equivalent to calling setAttrs({ hidden: true }). It is safe for all types of widgets, since it only adds the widgetHidden CSS class instead of setting the display style property.

Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#hide
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 480

isDisabled() → {boolean}

Checks if this widget is disabled. This method checks both the "widgetDisabled" CSS class and the disabled property. Changes to the disabled status can be made with enable(), disable() or setAttrs().

Returns:
{boolean} true if the widget is disabled, or false otherwise
Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#isDisabled
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 405

isHidden() → {boolean}

Checks if this widget node is hidden. This method checks for the existence of the widgetHidden CSS class. It does NOT check the actual widget visibility (the display style property set by animations for example).

Returns:
{boolean} true if the widget is hidden, or false otherwise
Inherited From:
RapidContext.Widget#isHidden
Source:
RapidContext_Widget.js, line 447
