_attrPairNames

_blankGif

Path to a blank 1x1 image. Used by <img> nodes in templates that really get their image via CSS background-image.

_layoutContainer

_setClassAttr

_setDirAttr

_setIdAttr

_setLangAttr

_started

startup() has completed.

_widgetTypeTemplates

attributeMap

Deprecated. Instead of attributeMap, widget should have a _setXXXAttr attribute for each XXX attribute to be mapped to the DOM.

attributeMap sets up a "binding" between attributes (aka properties) of the widget and the widget's DOM. Changes to widget attributes listed in attributeMap will be reflected into the DOM.

For example, calling set('title', 'hello') on a TitlePane will automatically cause the TitlePane's DOM to update with the new title.

attributeMap is a hash where the key is an attribute of the widget, and the value reflects a binding to a:

  • DOM node attribute

    focus: {node: "focusNode", type: "attribute"} Maps this.focus to this.focusNode.focus

  • DOM node innerHTML

    title: { node: "titleNode", type: "innerHTML" } Maps this.title to this.titleNode.innerHTML

  • DOM node innerText

    title: { node: "titleNode", type: "innerText" } Maps this.title to this.titleNode.innerText

  • DOM node CSS class

    myClass: { node: "domNode", type: "class" } Maps this.myClass to this.domNode.className

If the value is an array, then each element in the array matches one of the formats of the above list.

There are also some shorthands for backwards compatibility:

  • string --> { node: string, type: "attribute" }, for example:
"focusNode" ---> { node: "focusNode", type: "attribute" }
  • "" --> { node: "domNode", type: "attribute" }

availableViews

List of available views.

baseClass

Root CSS class of the widget (ex: dijitTextBox), used to construct CSS classes to indicate widget state.

class

containerNode

Designates where children of the source DOM node will be placed. "Children" in this case refers to both DOM nodes and widgets. For example, for myWidget: 

<div data-dojo-type=myWidget>
    <b> here's a plain DOM node
    <span data-dojo-type=subWidget>and a widget</span>
    <i> and another plain DOM node </i>
</div>

containerNode would point to: 

<b> here's a plain DOM node
<span data-dojo-type=subWidget>and a widget</span>
<i> and another plain DOM node </i>

In templated widgets, "containerNode" is set via a data-dojo-attach-point assignment.

containerNode must be defined for any widget that accepts innerHTML (like ContentPane or BorderContainer or even Button), and conversely is null for widgets that don't, like TextBox.

currentContext

An object with the current context information.

dir

Bi-directional support, as defined by the HTML DIR attribute. Either left-to-right "ltr" or right-to-left "rtl". If undefined, widgets renders in page's default direction.

domNode

This is our visible representation of the widget! Other DOM Nodes may by assigned to other properties, usually through the template system's data-dojo-attach-point syntax, but the domNode property is the canonical "top level" node in widget UI.

focused

This widget or a widget it contains has focus, or is "active" because it was recently clicked.

id

A unique, opaque ID string that can be assigned by users or by the system. If the developer passes an ID which is known not to be unique, the specified ID is ignored and the system-generated ID is used instead.

lang

Rarely used. Overrides the default Dojo locale used to render this widget, as defined by the HTML LANG attribute. Value must be among the list of locales specified during by the Dojo bootstrap, formatted according to RFC 3066 (like en-us).

layoutContainerClass

ownerDocument

The document this widget belongs to. If not specified to constructor, will default to srcNodeRef.ownerDocument, or if no sourceRef specified, then to dojo/_base/window::doc

srcNodeRef

pointer to original DOM node

style

HTML style attributes as cssText string or name/value hash

textDir

Bi-directional support, the main variable which is responsible for the direction of the text. The text direction can be different than the GUI direction by using this parameter in creation of a widget.

Allowed values:

  1. "ltr"
  2. "rtl"
  3. "auto" - contextual the direction of a text defined by first strong letter.

By default is as the page direction.

title

HTML title attribute.

For form widgets this specifies a tooltip to display when hovering over the widget (just like the native HTML title attribute).

For TitlePane or for when this widget is a child of a TabContainer, AccordionContainer, etc., it's used to specify the tab label, accordion pane title, etc.

tooltip

When this widget's title attribute is used to for a tab label, accordion pane title, etc., this specifies the tooltip to appear when the mouse is hovered over that text.

viewName

The current view name.

Methods

protected method _onBlur ( )

This is where widgets do processing for when they stop being active, such as changing CSS classes. See onBlur() for more details.

protected method _onFocus ( )

This is where widgets do processing for when they are active, such as changing CSS classes. See onFocus() for more details.

protected method _setStyleAttr ( value )

Sets the style attribute of the widget according to value, which is either a hash like {height: "5px", width: "3px"} or a plain string
Parameters

protected method applyTextDir ( element , text )

The function overridden in the _BidiSupport module, originally used for setting element.dir according to this.textDir. In this case does nothing.
Parameters

protected method buildRendering ( )

Constructs the toolbar container and starts the children setup process.

protected method connect ( obj , event , method )

Deprecated, will be removed in 2.0, use this.own(on(...)) or this.own(aspect.after(...)) instead.

Connects specified obj/event to specified method of this object and registers for disconnect() on widget destroy.

Provide widget-specific analog to dojo.connect, except with the implicit use of this widget as the target object. Events connected with this.connect are disconnected upon destruction.
Parameters
Examples
var btn = new Button();
// when foo.bar() is called, call the listener we're going to
// provide in the scope of btn
btn.connect(foo, "bar", function(){
    console.debug(this.toString());
});

protected method defer ( fcn , delay )

Wrapper to setTimeout to avoid deferred functions executing after the originating widget has been destroyed. Returns an object handle with a remove method (that returns null) (replaces clearTimeout).
Parameters

protected method destroyRendering ( preserveDom )

Destroys the DOM nodes associated with this widget
Parameters

protected method disconnect ( handle )

Deprecated, will be removed in 2.0, use handle.remove() instead.

Disconnects handle created by connect.
Parameters

protected method emit ( type , eventObj , callbackArgs )

Used by widgets to signal that a synthetic event occurred, ex: 

myWidget.emit("attrmodified-selectedChildWidget", {}).

Emits an event on this.domNode named type.toLowerCase(), based on eventObj. Also calls onType() method, if present, and returns value from that method. By default passes eventObj to callback, but will pass callbackArgs instead, if specified. Modifies eventObj by adding missing parameters (bubbles, cancelable, widget).
Parameters

protected method getTextDir ( text , originalDir )

Return direction of the text. The function overridden in the _BidiSupport module, its main purpose is to calculate the direction of the text, if was defined by the programmer through textDir.
Parameters

protected method isLeftToRight ( )

Return this widget's explicit or implicit orientation (true for LTR, false for RTL)

protected method isSetup ( )

Wait for setup to finish.

public inherited method onBlur ( )

Called when the widget stops being "active" because focus moved to something outside of it, or the user clicked somewhere outside of it, or the widget was hidden.

public inherited method onFocus ( )

Called when the widget becomes "active" because it or a widget inside of it either has focus, or has recently been clicked.

protected method own ( )

Track specified handles and remove/destroy them when this instance is destroyed, unless they were already removed/destroyed manually.

protected method postCreate ( )

Processing after the DOM fragment is created

protected method setupChildren ( )

Setup the items in the toolbar. Inheriting classes should extend this to add more items to the toolbar.

protected method subscribe ( t , method )

Deprecated, will be removed in 2.0, use this.own(topic.subscribe()) instead.

Subscribes to the specified topic and calls the specified method of this object and registers for unsubscribe() on widget destroy.

Provide widget-specific analog to dojo.subscribe, except with the implicit use of this widget as the target object.
Parameters
Examples
var btn = new Button();
// when /my/topic is published, this button changes its label to
// be the parameter of the topic.
btn.subscribe("/my/topic", function(v){
    this.set("label", v);
});

protected method uninitialize ( )

Deprecated. Override destroy() instead to implement custom widget tear-down behavior.

protected method unsubscribe ( handle )

Deprecated, will be removed in 2.0, use handle.remove() instead.

Unsubscribes handle created by this.subscribe. Also removes handle from this widget's list of subscriptions
Parameters

public method update ( data )

Update the toolbar with new data.
Parameters

protected method updateChildren ( )

Update the toolbar items. This method is called on startup and whenever the current context is set.
