Methods

buildCell(row, dom) → {Promise}

Description:

  • Creates the cell's contents by calling toString on the row's proposed value
    or the current value if there is no proposal. HTML will be safely escaped.

Source:
Inherited From:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
row module:nmodule/webEditors/rc/wb/table/model/Row
dom JQuery
Returns:
Type
Promise

coalesceRows(rows) → {*}

Description:

  • Given the set of rows to be edited, coalesce their values into one single
    value to load into an editor.

    By default, this will simply read the proposed value from the first row.
    This is appropriate for a use case where one value will be entered and
    written back to all edited components.

    If editing one value for all the given rows is not a use case supported by
    your column (a good example is a Name column, because no two components can
    share the same name), throw an error.

Source:
Inherited From:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
rows Array.<module:nmodule/webEditors/rc/wb/table/model/Row>
Throws:

if rows array not given, or values from rows are not all
of the same type

Type
Error
Returns:

value coalesced from the given rows

Type

commit(value, row, paramsopt) → {Promise}

Description:

  • Sets the value to the mixin instance on the row's component. If the
    component does not have an instance of the mixin, a new one will be
    created.

Source:
Overrides:
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
value baja.Value
row module:nmodule/webEditors/rc/wb/table/model/Row
params Object <optional>
Returns:
Type
Promise

destroyCell(row, dom) → {Promise|*}

Description:

  • Called when the table is destroying the DOM element built for a cell in this column. This
    gives a Column implementation the chance to clean up any resources that might have been
    created during the earlier call to #buildCell, perhaps destroying a widget in the cell,
    for example. As with #buildCell, if this completes synchronously and doesn't return a
    Promise, the caller must wrap this in a call to Promise.resolve().

Parameters:
Name Type Description

dom JQuery
Returns:

Promise | *

getColumnIcon() → {String}

Description:

  • Returns a URI for an icon representing this column. Returns null by
    default; override as needed in subclasses.

Source:
Inherited From:
Returns:

a URI for an icon to be shown for this column.

Type
String

getConfigFor(rows) → {Object}

Description:

  • When creating an editor for this column, use the value coalesced from the
    given rows, and respect any slot Facets on the mixin Type.

Source:

Parameters:
Name Type Description
rows Array.<module:nmodule/webEditors/rc/wb/table/model/Row>

    yet, will return the actual column value (getValueFor).

Parameters:
Name Type Description

Returns:

getValueFor(row) → {baja.Value}

Description:

  • Get the property from the mixin instance on this row's component. If
    the component does not have an instance of that mixin (e.g. it is an
    unmounted component created browser-side), the default value from an
    instance of that mixin will be returned.

isEditorSuitable(editor, rows) → {Boolean}

Description:

  • If an editor has already been built, it may be possible to reuse it,
    simply loading in a new coalesced value rather than destroying and
    rebuilding the existing editor.

    This function should return true if the editor is suitable to be reused
    for the given rows. By default, will always return true.

Example

Validating this column may require that I examine the changes I'm about to make to other columns as well.

MyMgrColumn.prototype.mgrValidate = function (model, data, params) {
  var that = this,
      rows = model.getRows(),
      otherColumn = model.getColumn('otherColumn');

  //search through all MgrModel rows, and check to see that my proposed
  //change is compatible with the proposed change to another column.
  //say, i'm a "password" column, and the other column is a "password
  //scheme" column - i need to make sure that the proposed password is
  //considered valid by the proposed password scheme.

  for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
    var row = rows[i],
        myValue = data[i],
        otherValue = otherColumn.getProposedValueFor(row);

    if (myValue === null) {
      //no changes proposed for this row, so nothing to validate.
    }

    if (!isCompatible(myValue, otherValue)) {
      return Promise.reject(new Error('incompatible values'));
    }
  }
};
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
model module:nmodule/webEditors/rc/wb/mgr/model/MgrModel

the model to which we're about to apply changes.
data Array

an array of proposed changes to this column, one per
row in the MgrModel. If a value in this array is null, no change has
been proposed for that row.
params Object <optional>
Properties
Name Type Attributes Description
editor module:nmodule/webEditors/rc/fe/baja/BaseEditor <optional>

the editor from which the proposed values were read. Note that the editor
may have been used to edit other rows, so the editor's current value may
not match the proposed new values.
Returns:

promise that resolves by default

Type
Promise

propose(value, row) → {Promise}

Description:

  • Should read the value and "tentatively" apply it to the
    selected row. In most cases this will be setting some temporary data
    for display-only purposes.

    By default, will set some temporary data on the row using the column's
    name as a key.
