`_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: <pre><code>this.addAttrs({ foo: { setter: function() { // make sure this bar is available when foo is added this.get("bar"); } }, bar: { value: ... } });</code></pre>

Parameters:

name String

attribute name
cfg Object

`_afterContainerChange`

() protected

Inherited from View: yui3/src/app/js/view.js:357

Available since 3.5.0

Handles <code>containerChange</code> events. Detaches event handlers from the old container (if any) and attaches them to the new container. Right now the <code>container</code> 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

Inherited from BaseCore: yui3/src/base/js/BaseCore.js:618

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

`_parseColumns`

(

data

)

Array protected

Defined in yui3/src/datatable/js/head.js:348

Available since 3.5.0

Translate the input column format into a structure useful for rendering a <thead>, rows, and cells. The structure of the input is expected to be a single array of objects, where each object corresponds to a <th>. Those objects may contain a children property containing a similarly structured array to indicate the nested cells should be grouped under the parent column's colspan in a separate row of header cells. E.g.

<pre><code> [ { key: 'id' }, // no nesting { key: 'name', children: [ { key: 'firstName', label: 'First' }, { key: 'lastName', label: 'Last' } ] } ] </code></pre>

would indicate two header rows with the first column 'id' being assigned a rowspan of 2, the 'name' column appearing in the first row with a colspan of 2, and the 'firstName' and 'lastName' columns appearing in the second row, below the 'name' column.

<pre>

</pre>

Supported properties of the column objects include:

label - The HTML content of the header cell.
key - If label is not specified, the key is used for content.
children - Array of columns to appear below this column in the next row.
abbr - The content of the 'abbr' attribute of the <th>
title - The content of the 'title' attribute of the <th>
headerTemplate - Overrides the instance's CELL_TEMPLATE for cells in this column only.

The output structure is basically a simulation of the <thead> structure with arrays for rows and objects for cells. Column objects have the following properties added to them:

id - (Defaulted by DataTable) The id to assign the rendered column
_colspan - Per the <th> attribute
_rowspan - Per the <th> attribute
_parent - (Added by DataTable) If the column is a child of another column, this points to its parent column

The column object is also used to provide values for {placeholder} replacement in the CELL_TEMPLATE, so you can modify the template and include other column object properties to populate them.

Parameters:

data Object

Array of column object data

Returns:

Array:

An array of arrays corresponding to the header row structure to render

`_parseType`

() private

Inherited from EventTarget: yui3/src/event-custom/js/event-target.js:52

`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.

`create`

(

[container]

)

Node

Inherited from View: yui3/src/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 <code>containerTemplate</code> 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 <code>Y.Node</code> instance.

Parameters:

Selector string, <code>Y.Node</code> instance, or DOM element to use at the container node.

Returns:

Node:

Node instance of the created container node.

Parameters:

[options] Object optional

Options.
- [remove=false] Boolean optional
 
 If <code>true</code>, this View's container will be removed from the DOM and destroyed as well.

`destructor`

`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

`detachEvents`

() chainable

Inherited from View: yui3/src/app/js/view.js:253

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

`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`

`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 <a href="../classes/AttributeCore.html#method_addAttr" class="crosslink">addAttr</a>, or an appropriate manner for a class which utilises Attributes (e.g. the <a href="../classes/Base.html#property_ATTRS" class="crosslink">ATTRS</a> property in <a href="../classes/Base.html" class="crosslink">Base</a>).

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
