Modes ⇐ ElementBase

Shows exactly one child element at a time. This can be useful, for example, if a given UI element has multiple modes that present substantially different elements.

The transition between child elements is instantenous. If you'd like the transition to be accompanied by visible animated effects, see basic-animation-stage.

This component doesn't provide any UI for changing which mode is shown.

modes.applySelection(item, selected)

Apply the indicate selection state to the item.

The default implementation of this method does nothing. User-visible effects will typically be handled by other mixins.

Kind: instance method of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

Param Type Description
item HTMLElement the item being selected/deselected
selected boolean true if the item is selected, false if not

modes.applySelection(item, selected)

Apply the selection state to a single item.

Invoke this method to signal that the selected state of the indicated item has changed. By default, this applies a selected CSS class if the item is selected, and removed it if not selected.

Kind: instance method of Modes. Defined by ContentAsItems mixin.

Param Type Description
item HTMLElement The item whose selection state has changed.
selected boolean True if the item is selected, false if not.

modes.canSelectNext : boolean

True if the selection can be moved to the next item, false if not (the selected item is the last item in the list).

Kind: instance property of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

modes.canSelectPrevious : boolean

True if the selection can be moved to the previous item, false if not (the selected item is the first one in the list).

Kind: instance property of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

modes.content : Array.<HTMLElement>

The content of this component, defined to be the flattened array of children distributed to the component.

Kind: instance property of Modes. Defined by DistributedChildrenAsContent mixin.

"content-changed"

This event is raised when the component's contents (including distributed children) have changed.

Kind: event emitted by Modes. Defined by ObserveContentChanges mixin.

modes.contentChanged()

Invoked when the contents of the component (including distributed children) have changed.

This method is also invoked when a component is first instantiated; the contents have essentially "changed" from being nothing. This allows the component to perform initial processing of its children.

Kind: instance method of Modes. Defined by ObserveContentChanges mixin.

modes.itemAdded(item)

This method is invoked whenever a new item is added to the list.

The default implementation of this method does nothing. You can override this to perform per-item initialization.

Kind: instance method of Modes. Defined by ContentAsItems mixin.

Param Type Description
item HTMLElement The item that was added.

modes.itemAdded(item)

Handle a new item being added to the list.

The default implementation of this method simply sets the item's selection state to false.

Kind: instance method of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

Param Type Description
item HTMLElement the item being added

modes.items : Array.<HTMLElement>

The current set of items in the list. See the top-level documentation for mixin for a description of how items differ from plain content.

Kind: instance property of Modes. Defined by ContentAsItems mixin.

"items-changed"

Fires when the items in the list change.

Kind: event emitted by Modes. Defined by ContentAsItems mixin.

modes.itemsChanged()

This method is invoked when the underlying contents change. It is also invoked on component initialization – since the items have "changed" from being nothing.

Kind: instance method of Modes. Defined by ContentAsItems mixin.

"selected-index-changed"

Fires when the selectedIndex property changes.

Kind: event emitted by Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

Param Type Description
detail.selectedIndex number The new selected index.

"selected-item-changed"

Fires when the selectedItem property changes.

Kind: event emitted by Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

Param Type Description
detail.selectedItem HTMLElement The new selected item.
detail.previousItem HTMLElement The previously selected item.

modes.selectedIndex : number

The index of the item which is currently selected.

If selectionWraps is false, the index is -1 if there is no selection. In that case, setting the index to -1 will deselect any currently-selected item.

Kind: instance property of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

modes.selectedItem : object

The currently selected item, or null if there is no selection.

Setting this property to null deselects any currently-selected item.

Kind: instance property of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

modes.selectFirst()

Select the first item in the list.

Kind: instance method of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

modes.selectionRequired : boolean

True if the list should always have a selection (if it has items).

Kind: instance property of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin. Default: false

modes.selectionWraps : boolean

True if selection navigations wrap from last to first, and vice versa.

Kind: instance property of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin. Default: false

modes.selectLast()

Select the last item in the list.

Kind: instance method of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

modes.selectNext()

Select the next item in the list.

Kind: instance method of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

modes.selectPrevious()

Select the previous item in the list.

Kind: instance method of Modes. Defined by ItemsSelection mixin.

modes.target : HTMLElement

Gets/sets the current target of the component.

Set this to point to another element. That target element will be implicitly added to the component's collective. That is, the component and its target will share responsibility for handling keyboard events.

You can set this property yourself, or you can use the ContentFirstChildTarget mixin to automatically set the target to the component's first child.

Kind: instance property of Modes. Defined by TargetInCollective mixin.
