`_addAttrs`

(

cfgs
values
lazy

)

private

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:877

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 <a href="#method_addAttr">addAttr</a>.

`_addLazyAttr`

(

name
[lazyCfg]

)

private

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:360

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

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:550

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: ...
                                                     }

[opts]

)

Object protected chainable

Inherited from AttributeObservable but overwritten in yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:783

Implementation behind the public setAttrs method, to set multiple attribute values.

Optional data providing the circumstances for the change

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

`_setAttrVal`

(

attrName
subAttrName
prevVal
newVal
[opts]
[attrCfg]

)

Boolean private

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:681

Updates the stored value of the attribute in the privately held State object, if validation and setter passes.

Parameters:

attrName String

The attribute name.
subAttrName String

The sub-attribute name, if setting a sub-attribute property ("x.y.z").
prevVal Any

The currently stored value of the attribute.
newVal Any

The value which is going to be stored.
[opts] Object optional

Optional data providing the circumstances for the change.
[attrCfg] Object optional

Optional config hash for the attribute. This is added for performance along the critical path, where the calling method has already obtained the config from state.

Returns:

`_setStateVal`

(

name
value

)

private

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:663

Sets the stored value for the attribute, in either the internal state object, or the state proxy if it exits

Parameters:

name String

The name of the attribute
value Any

The value of the attribute

`addAttr`

(

name
config
lazy

)

Object chainable

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:157

Adds an attribute with the provided configuration to the host object. The config argument object supports the following properties:

<dl> <dt>value <Any></dt> <dd>The initial value to set on the attribute</dd>

<dt>valueFn <Function | String></dt> <dd> 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. </dd>

<dt>readOnly <boolean></dt> <dd>Whether or not the attribute is read only. Attributes having readOnly set to true cannot be modified by invoking the set method.</dd>

<dt>writeOnce <boolean> or <string></dt> <dd> 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) </dd>

<dt>setter <Function | String></dt> <dd> 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 <a href="#property_Attribute.INVALID_VALUE">Attribute.INVALID_VALUE</a>, 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. </dd>

<dt>getter <Function | String></dt> <dd> 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. </dd>

<dt>validator <Function | String></dt> <dd> 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. </dd>

<dt>lazyAdd <boolean></dt> <dd>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 <a href="#method_addAttrs">addAttrs</a> method.</dd>

</dl>

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

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:846

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 <a href="#method_addAttr">addAttr</a>.

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

`addTarget`

(

o

)

chainable

Inherited from EventTarget: yui3/src/event-custom/js/event-facade.js:496

`before`

()

Inherited from EventTarget: yui3/src/event-custom/js/event-target.js:849

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

Inherited from EventTarget: yui3/src/event-custom/js/event-facade.js:554

Propagate an event. Requires the event-custom-complex module.

Parameters:

evt CustomEvent

the custom event to propagate

Returns:

Boolean:

the aggregated return value from Event.Custom.fire

`detach`

(

type
fn
context

)

EventTarget

Inherited from EventTarget: yui3/src/event-custom/js/event-target.js:356

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

)

Inherited from EventTarget: yui3/src/event-custom/js/event-target.js:479

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

Inherited from EventTarget: yui3/src/event-custom/js/event-target.js:673

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

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:331

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. <code>get("x.y.z")</code>)

Returns:

Any:

The value of the attribute

`getAttrs`

(

)

Object

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:803

`modifyAttr`

(

name
config

)

Inherited from AttributeExtras: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeExtras.js:40

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: <dl> <dt>readOnly;</dt> <dt>writeOnce;</dt> <dt>broadcast; and</dt> <dt>getter.</dt> </dl> 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

Inherited from EventTarget: yui3/src/event-custom/js/event-target.js:188

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 <code>this</code> object in callback
[arg*] Any optional

0..n additional arguments to supply to the subscriber
