`_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

`_filterUIEvent`

(

evt

)

Boolean private

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/WidgetUIEvents.js:117

This method is used to determine if we should fire the UI Event or not. The default implementation makes sure that for nested delegates (nested unrelated widgets), we don't fire the UI event listener more than once at each level.

For example, without the additional filter, if you have nested widgets, each widget will have a delegate listener. If you click on the inner widget, the inner delegate listener's filter will match once, but the outer will match twice (based on delegate's design) - once for the inner widget, and once for the outer.

Parameters:

evt DOMEventFacade

Returns:

Boolean:

true if it's OK to fire the custom UI event, false if not.

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

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.

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.

This is actually just a pass through to the view instance's method by the same name.

Parameters:

id Number | String | Model

Row index, Model instance, or clientId

Returns:

Node:

`getSkinName`

(

[skinPrefix]

)

String

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/WidgetSkin.js:12

Returns the name of the skin that's currently applied to the widget.

Searches up the Widget's ancestor axis for, by default, a class yui3-skin-(name), and returns the (name) portion. Otherwise, returns null.

This is only really useful after the widget's DOM structure is in the document, either by render or by progressive enhancement.

Parameters:

[skinPrefix] String optional

The prefix which the implementation uses for the skin ("yui3-skin-" is the default). NOTE: skinPrefix will be used as part of a regular expression: <pre><code>new RegExp('\b' + skinPrefix + '(\S+)') </code></pre> Although an unlikely use case, literal characters which may result in an invalid regular expression should be escaped.

Returns:

String:

The name of the skin, or null, if a matching skin class is not found.

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:

`render`

(

parentNode

)

final chainable

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:509

Establishes the initial DOM for the widget. Invoking this method will lead to the creating of all DOM elements for the widget (or the manipulation of existing DOM elements for the progressive enhancement use case). This method should only be invoked once for an initialized widget. It delegates to the widget specific renderer method to do the actual work.

Parameters:

parentNode Object | String

Optional. The Node under which the Widget is to be rendered. This can be a Node instance or a CSS selector string. If the selector string returns more than one Node, the first node will be used as the parentNode. NOTE: This argument is required if both the boundingBox and contentBox are not currently in the document. If it's not provided, the Widget will be rendered to the body of the current document in this case.

`renderer`

() protected

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:584

Creates DOM (or manipulates DOM for progressive enhancement) This method is invoked by render() and is not chained automatically for the class hierarchy (unlike initializer, destructor) so it should be chained manually for subclasses if required.

`renderUI`

() protected

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:618

Adds nodes to the DOM

This method is not called by framework and is not chained automatically for the class hierarchy.

`reset`

(

name

)

Object chainable

Inherited from AttributeExtras: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeExtras.js:100

Resets the attribute (or all attributes) to its initial value, as long as the attribute is not readOnly, or writeOnce.

Parameters:

name String

Optional. The name of the attribute to reset. If omitted, all attributes are reset.

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

`set`

(

name
value
[opts]

)

Object chainable

Inherited from AttributeObservable but overwritten in yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:388

Sets the value of an attribute.

Parameters:

name String

The name of the attribute. If the current value of the attribute is an Object, dot notation can be used to set the value of a property within the object (e.g. <code>set("x.y.z", 5)</code>).
value Any

The value to set the attribute to.
[opts] Object optional

Optional data providing the circumstances for the change.

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

`setAttrs`

(

attrs
[opts]

)

Object chainable

Inherited from AttributeObservable but overwritten in yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:770

Sets multiple attribute values.

Parameters:

attrs Object

An object with attributes name/value pairs.
[opts] Object optional

Optional data providing the circumstances for the change.

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

`show`

() chainable

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:650

Shows the Widget by setting the "visible" attribute to "true".
