Properties

  • readonly inherited

    bindTemplate : BindChain<this>

    See source

    Shorthand for bind, a binding interface pre–configured for the view instance.

    It provides to() and if() methods that initialize bindings with observable attributes and attach DOM listeners.

    class SampleView extends View {
	constructor( locale ) {
		super( locale );

		const bind = this.bindTemplate;

		// These observable attributes will control
		// the state of the view in DOM.
		this.set( {
			elementClass: 'foo',
		 	isEnabled: true
		 } );

		this.setTemplate( {
			tag: 'p',

			attributes: {
				// The class HTML attribute will follow elementClass
				// and isEnabled view attributes.
				class: [
					bind.to( 'elementClass' )
					bind.if( 'isEnabled', 'present-when-enabled' )
				]
			},

			on: {
				// The view will fire the "clicked" event upon clicking <p> in DOM.
				click: bind.to( 'clicked' )
			}
		} );
	}
}

  • inherited observable

    class : undefined | string

    See source

    An additional CSS class added to the element.

  • readonly inherited

    content : ViewCollection<View<HTMLElement>>

    See source

    A collection of the child views that creates the balloon panel contents.

  • inherited

    element : null | HTMLElement

    See source

    An HTML element of the view. null until rendered from the template.

    class SampleView extends View {
	constructor() {
		super();

		// A template instance the #element will be created from.
		this.setTemplate( {
			tag: 'p'

			// ...
		} );
	}
}

const view = new SampleView();

// Renders the #template.
view.render();

// Append the HTML element of the view to <body>.
document.body.appendChild( view.element );

    Note: The element of the view can also be assigned directly:

    view.element = document.querySelector( '#my-container' );

  • inherited

    isRendered : boolean

    See source

    Set true when the view has already been rendered.

  • inherited observable

    isVisible : boolean

    See source

    Controls whether the balloon panel is visible or not.

    Defaults to false

  • inherited observable

    left : number

    See source

    The absolute left position of the balloon panel in pixels.

    Defaults to 0

  • inherited

    locale : undefined | Locale

    See source

    A set of tools to localize the user interface.

    Also see locale.

  • inherited observable

    position : 'arrow_nw' | 'arrow_ne' | 'arrow_sw' | 'arrow_se'

    See source

    The balloon panel's current position. The position name is reflected in the CSS class set to the balloon, i.e. .ck-balloon-panel_arrow_nw for the "arrow_nw" position. The class controls the minor aspects of the balloon's visual appearance like the placement of an arrow. To support a new position, an additional CSS must be created.

    Default position names correspond with defaultPositions.

    See the attachTo and pin methods to learn about custom balloon positions.

    Defaults to 'arrow_nw'

  • inherited

    t : undefined | LocaleTranslate

    See source

    Shorthand for t.

    Note: If locale instance hasn't been passed to the view this method may not be available.

    Positioning functions must be compatible with DomPoint.

    Default positioning functions with customized offsets can be generated using generatePositions.

    The name that the position function returns will be reflected in the balloon panel's class that controls the placement of the "arrow". See position to learn more.

    stickyVerticalOffset : number

    See source

    A vertical offset of the balloon panel from the edge of the viewport if sticky. It helps in accessing toolbar buttons underneath the balloon panel.

Methods

  • constructor( [ locale ] )

    See source

    Creates an instance of the menu panel view.

    Parameters

    [ locale ] : Locale

    The localization services instance.

  • inherited

    attachTo( options ) → boolean

    See source

    Attaches the panel to a specified target with a smart positioning heuristics that chooses from available positions to make sure the panel is visible to the user i.e. within the limits of the viewport.

    This method accepts configuration options to set the target, optional limiter and positions the balloon should choose from.

    const panel = new BalloonPanelView( locale );
const positions = BalloonPanelView.defaultPositions;

panel.render();

// Attach the panel to an element with the "target" id DOM.
panel.attachTo( {
	target: document.querySelector( '#target' ),
	positions: [
		positions.northArrowSouth,
		positions.southArrowNorth
	]
} );

    Note: Attaching the panel will also automatically show it.

    Note: An attached panel will not follow its target when the window is scrolled or resized. See the pin method for a more permanent positioning strategy.

    Parameters

    options : Partial<Options>

    Positioning options compatible with getOptimalPosition. Default positions array is defaultPositions.

    Returns

    boolean

    Whether the balloon was shown and successfully attached or not. Attaching can fail if the target provided in the options is invisible (e.g. element detached from DOM).

    bind( bindProperties ) → MultiBindChain

    See source

    Binds observable properties to other objects implementing the Observable interface.

    Read more in the dedicated guide covering the topic of property bindings with some additional examples.

    Consider two objects: a button and an associated command (both Observable).

    A simple property binding could be as follows:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isEnabled' );

    or even shorter:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command );

    which works in the following way:

    • button.isEnabled instantly equals command.isEnabled,
    • whenever command.isEnabled changes, button.isEnabled will immediately reflect its value.

    Note: To release the binding, use unbind.

    You can also "rename" the property in the binding by specifying the new name in the to() chain:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isWorking' );

    It is possible to bind more than one property at a time to shorten the code:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled', 'value' ).to( command );

    which corresponds to:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command );
button.bind( 'value' ).to( command );

    The binding can include more than one observable, combining multiple data sources in a custom callback:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isEnabled', ui, 'isVisible',
	( isCommandEnabled, isUIVisible ) => isCommandEnabled && isUIVisible );

    Using a custom callback allows processing the value before passing it to the target property:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'value', value => value === 'heading1' );

    It is also possible to bind to the same property in an array of observables. To bind a button to multiple commands (also Observables) so that each and every one of them must be enabled for the button to become enabled, use the following code:

    button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).toMany( [ commandA, commandB, commandC ], 'isEnabled',
	( isAEnabled, isBEnabled, isCEnabled ) => isAEnabled && isBEnabled && isCEnabled );

    Parameters

    bindProperties : Array<'off' | 'on' | 'once' | 'listenTo' | 'stopListening' | 'fire' | 'delegate' | 'stopDelegating' | 'set' | 'bind' | 'unbind' | 'decorate' | 'element' | 'template' | 'focus' | 'top' | 'left' | 'isRendered' | 'locale' | 't' | 'viewUid' | 'bindTemplate' | 'createCollection' | 'registerChild' | 'deregisterChild' | 'setTemplate' | 'extendTemplate' | 'render' | 'destroy' | 'class' | 'content' | 'isVisible' | 'withArrow' | 'position' | 'show' | 'hide' | 'attachTo' | 'pin' | 'unpin'>

    Observable properties that will be bound to other observable(s).

    Returns

    MultiBindChain

    The bind chain with the to() and toMany() methods.

    decorate( methodName ) → void

    See source

    Turns the given methods of this object into event-based ones. This means that the new method will fire an event (named after the method) and the original action will be plugged as a listener to that event.

    Read more in the dedicated guide covering the topic of decorating methods with some additional examples.

    Decorating the method does not change its behavior (it only adds an event), but it allows to modify it later on by listening to the method's event.

    For example, to cancel the method execution the event can be stopped:

    class Foo extends ObservableMixin() {
	constructor() {
		super();
		this.decorate( 'method' );
	}

	method() {
		console.log( 'called!' );
	}
}

const foo = new Foo();
foo.on( 'method', ( evt ) => {
	evt.stop();
}, { priority: 'high' } );

foo.method(); // Nothing is logged.

    Note: The high priority listener has been used to execute this particular callback before the one which calls the original method (which uses the "normal" priority).

    It is also possible to change the returned value:

    foo.on( 'method', ( evt ) => {
	evt.return = 'Foo!';
} );

foo.method(); // -> 'Foo'

    Finally, it is possible to access and modify the arguments the method is called with:

    method( a, b ) {
	console.log( `${ a }, ${ b }`  );
}

// ...

foo.on( 'method', ( evt, args ) => {
	args[ 0 ] = 3;

	console.log( args[ 1 ] ); // -> 2
}, { priority: 'high' } );

foo.method( 1, 2 ); // -> '3, 2'

    Parameters

    methodName : 'off' | 'on' | 'once' | 'listenTo' | 'stopListening' | 'fire' | 'delegate' | 'stopDelegating' | 'set' | 'bind' | 'unbind' | 'decorate' | 'element' | 'template' | 'focus' | 'top' | 'left' | 'isRendered' | 'locale' | 't' | 'viewUid' | 'bindTemplate' | 'createCollection' | 'registerChild' | 'deregisterChild' | 'setTemplate' | 'extendTemplate' | 'render' | 'destroy' | 'class' | 'content' | 'isVisible' | 'withArrow' | 'position' | 'show' | 'hide' | 'attachTo' | 'pin' | 'unpin'

    Name of the method to decorate.

    delegate( events ) → EmitterMixinDelegateChain

    See source

    Delegates selected events to another Emitter. For instance:

    emitterA.delegate( 'eventX' ).to( emitterB );
emitterA.delegate( 'eventX', 'eventY' ).to( emitterC );

    then eventX is delegated (fired by) emitterB and emitterC along with data:

    emitterA.fire( 'eventX', data );

    and eventY is delegated (fired by) emitterC along with data:

    emitterA.fire( 'eventY', data );

    Parameters

    events : Array<string>

    Event names that will be delegated to another emitter.

    Returns

    EmitterMixinDelegateChain

    deregisterChild( children ) → void

    See source

    The opposite of registerChild. Removes a child view from this view instance. Once removed, the child is no longer managed by its parent, e.g. it can safely become a child of another parent view.

    Parameters

    children : View<HTMLElement> | Iterable<View<HTMLElement>>

    Child views to be removed.

    Returns

    void

  • inherited

    destroy() → void

    See source

    Recursively destroys the view instance and child views added by registerChild and residing in collections created by the createCollection.

    Destruction disables all event listeners:

    • created on the view, e.g. view.on( 'event', () => {} ),
    • defined in the template for DOM events.

    Returns

    void

  • inherited

    extendTemplate( definition ) → void

    See source

    Extends the template of the view with with given definition.

    A shorthand for:

    Template.extend( view.template, definition );

    Note: Is requires the template to be already set. See setTemplate.

    Parameters

    definition : Partial<TemplateDefinition>

    Definition which extends the template.

    Returns

    void

    listenTo( emitter, event, callback, [ options ] ) → void

    See source

    Registers a callback function to be executed when an event is fired in a specific (emitter) object.

    Events can be grouped in namespaces using :. When namespaced event is fired, it additionally fires all callbacks for that namespace.

    pin( options ) → void

    See source

    Works the same way as the attachTo method except that the position of the panel is continuously updated when:

    • any ancestor of the target or limiter is scrolled,
    • the browser window gets resized or scrolled.

    Thanks to that, the panel always sticks to the target and is immune to the changing environment.

    const panel = new BalloonPanelView( locale );
const positions = BalloonPanelView.defaultPositions;

panel.render();

// Pin the panel to an element with the "target" id DOM.
panel.pin( {
	target: document.querySelector( '#target' ),
	positions: [
		positions.northArrowSouth,
		positions.southArrowNorth
	]
} );

    To leave the pinned state, use the unpin method.

    Note: Pinning the panel will also automatically show it.

    Parameters

    options : Partial<Options>

    Positioning options compatible with getOptimalPosition. Default positions array is defaultPositions.

    Returns

    void

  • inherited

    registerChild( children ) → void

    See source

    Registers a new child view under the view instance. Once registered, a child view is managed by its parent, including rendering and destruction.

    To revert this, use deregisterChild.

    class SampleView extends View {
	constructor( locale ) {
		super( locale );

		this.childA = new SomeChildView( locale );
		this.childB = new SomeChildView( locale );

		this.setTemplate( { tag: 'p' } );

		// Register the children.
		this.registerChild( [ this.childA, this.childB ] );
	}

	render() {
		super.render();

		this.element.appendChild( this.childA.element );
		this.element.appendChild( this.childB.element );
	}
}

const view = new SampleView( locale );

view.render();

// Will append <p><childA#element><b></b><childB#element></p>.
document.body.appendChild( view.element );

    Note: There's no need to add child views if they're already referenced in the template:

    class SampleView extends View {
	constructor( locale ) {
		super( locale );

		this.childA = new SomeChildView( locale );
		this.childB = new SomeChildView( locale );

		this.setTemplate( {
			tag: 'p',

 * 			// These children will be added automatically. There's no
 * 			// need to call registerChild for any of them.
			children: [ this.childA, this.childB ]
		} );
	}

	// ...
}

    Parameters

    children : View<HTMLElement> | Iterable<View<HTMLElement>>

    Children views to be registered.

    Returns

    void

  • inherited

    render() → void

    See source

    Recursively renders the view.

    Once the view is rendered:

    Note: The children of the view:

    In general, render() method is the right place to keep the code which refers to the element and should be executed at the very beginning of the view's life cycle.

    It is possible to extend the template before the view is rendered. To allow an early customization of the view (e.g. by its parent), such references should be done in render().

    class SampleView extends View {
	constructor() {
		this.setTemplate( {
			// ...
		} );
	},

	render() {
		// View#element becomes available.
		super.render();

		// The "scroll" listener depends on #element.
		this.listenTo( window, 'scroll', () => {
			// A reference to #element would render the #template and make it non-extendable.
			if ( window.scrollY > 0 ) {
				this.element.scrollLeft = 100;
			} else {
				this.element.scrollLeft = 0;
			}
		} );
	}
}

const view = new SampleView();

// Let's customize the view before it gets rendered.
view.extendTemplate( {
	attributes: {
		class: [
			'additional-class'
		]
	}
} );

// Late rendering allows customization of the view.
view.render();

    Returns

    void

    set( values ) → void

    See source

    Creates and sets the value of an observable properties of this object. Such a property becomes a part of the state and is observable.

    It accepts a single object literal containing key/value pairs with properties to be set.

    This method throws the observable-set-cannot-override error if the observable instance already has a property with the given property name. This prevents from mistakenly overriding existing properties and methods, but means that foo.set( 'bar', 1 ) may be slightly slower than foo.bar = 1.

    In TypeScript, those properties should be declared in class using declare keyword. In example:

    public declare myProp1: number;
public declare myProp2: string;

constructor() {
	this.set( {
		'myProp1: 2,
		'myProp2: 'foo'
	} );
}

    Parameters

    values : object

    An object with name=>value pairs.

    Returns

    void

	console.log( `Value is going to be changed from ${ oldValue } to ${ newValue }` );
	console.log( `Current property value is ${ observable[ propertyName ] }` );

	// Let's override the value.
	evt.return = 3;
} );

observable.on<ObservableChangeEvent<number>>( 'change:prop', ( evt, propertyName, newValue, oldValue ) => {
	console.log( `Value has changed from ${ oldValue } to ${ newValue }` );
} );

observable.prop = 2; // -> 'Value is going to be changed from 1 to 2'
