Methods

equals(obj) → {Boolean}

Description:

  • Indicates whether some other object is equal to this one.

Source:
Inherited From:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
obj Object

the reference object with which to compare.
Returns:

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

Type
Boolean

equivalent(obj) → {Boolean}

Description:

  • Equivalence test.

    equivalent() is used to compare if two Objects have equivalent
    state, but might not want to return true for equals since it
    it has implied semantics for many operations. The default
    implementation returns the result of baja.Object#equals.

getAgents(isopt, batchopt) → {Promise}

Description:

  • Returns a promise that resolves to the agent list for this Object.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
is Array.<String> <optional>

An optional array of filters to add to the
agent query.
batch baja.comm.Batch <optional>

An optional object used to batch network
calls together.
Returns:

A promise that will resolve with the Agent Info.

Type
Promise

getIcon() → {baja.Icon}

Description:

  • Return the Object's Icon.

Source:

Returns:
Type
baja.Icon

getNavChildren(obj) → {Promise.<Array.<baja.NavNode>>}

Description:

  • Access the Nav Children.

Source:
Inherited From:
Example
container.getNavChildren()
    .then(function (kids) {
      baja.outln('retrieved nav children: ' + kids.join());
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
      baja.error('failed to retrieve nav children: ' + err);
    });
Parameters:
Name Type Description
obj Object

the Object Literal for the method's arguments.

Properties
Name Type Attributes Description
ok function <optional>

(Deprecated: use Promise) called when we have
the Nav Children. An array of Nav Children is passed as an argument into
this function.
fail function <optional>

(Deprecated: use Promise) called if the
function fails to complete.
Returns:

a promise that will be resolved
once the nav children have been retrieved.

Type
Promise.<Array.<baja.NavNode>>

getNavDescription() → {String}

getNavName() → {String}

Description:

  • Return the Nav Name.

String

getNavOrd(paramsopt) → {baja.Ord}

Description:

  • Return the Nav ORD.

    If passing sessionAware, the returned ORD may return session information
    when BajaScript is running in Workbench (most commonly including the IP
    address and fox|foxs schemes). Note that a session-aware ORD is not safe
    to pass directly up to a station for resolution as in an RPC or servlet
    call, as a station won't know how to open a FOX session to itself.

Source:
Inherited From:
Examples

When running in Workbench, connected to a station at ip:1.2.3.4, session information can be retrieved.

console.log(services.getNavOrd());
// local:|station:|slot:/Services
console.log(services.getNavOrd({ sessionAware: true });
// ip:1.2.3.4|fox:|station:|slot:/Services

When running in a browser, session information is never present. 

console.log(services.getNavOrd());
// local:|station:|slot:/Services
console.log(services.getNavOrd({ sessionAware: true });
// local:|station:|slot:/Services
Parameters:

params object <optional>

getTypeDisplayName(cxopt) → {Promise.<string>|string}

Description:

  • Gets the friendly type display name for this object.

Source:
Since:
  • Niagara 4.10
Inherited From:
See:
  • baja.Type#getDisplayName
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
cx Object <optional>

a context to be passed down to Type
Returns:

If no context is provided, the type
display name is returned synchronously as a string. If context provided,
the type display name is resolved via a promise as a string.

Type
Promise.<string> | string

toString(cxopt) → {String|Promise.<String>}

Description:

  • Returns the String representation of this Object.

    When implementing toString() on one of your own Objects, it should
    adhere to the following contract.

    • When called with no arguments, it must return a string directly.
    • It can also be called with an object literal. In this case, it may
      return a Promise to be resolved with a string, or it may return a string
      directly as normal. This case is sort of analogous to
      javax.baja.sys.Localizable#toString(Context).

    Therefore, when calling toString() on an Object of unknown Type using an
    object literal as an argument, it's important to wrap the call in
    Promise.resolve().

Source:
Inherited From:
Examples

When no context is passed, toString() must always return a string directly.

var bool = comp.get('boolean');
baja.outln(bool.toString()); // 'false'

When a context is passed, some Objects may return a Promise. 

var bool = comp.get('boolean');
bool.toString({ trueText: 'Yes', falseText: 'No' })
  .then(function (str) {
    baja.outln(str); // 'No'
  });

If you don't know the type of the Object, use Promise.resolve() for safety.

var displayFacets = comp.get('displayFacets'),
    value = comp.get('value');
Promise.resolve(value.toString(displayFacets.toObject()))
  .then(function (str) {
    baja.outln(str); // formatted according to displayFacets
  });
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
cx Object <optional>

optional context information to be used when
formatting the string
Returns:

a string (if no context passed), or
either a string or a Promise (if context passed).

Type
String | Promise.<String>

valueOf() → {*}

Description:

  • Return the inner value of the object.

    By default the object's instance is returned.

Source:
Inherited From:
Returns:

the inner value of the object or just the object's instance.
