Plugin.Menu Class

Node plugin that toggles a dropdown menu when the host node is clicked.

Example

YUI().use('menu-plugin', function (Y) {
    var button = Y.one('#button');

    // Plug a dropdown menu into the button.
    button.plug(Y.Plugin.Menu, {
        items: [
            {label: 'Item One'},
            {label: 'Item Two'},
            {label: 'Item Three'}
        ]
    });

    // The menu will automatically be displayed whenever the button is
    // clicked, but you can also toggle it manually.
    button.menu.toggleVisible();
});

Methods

Methods

_addAttrs

(
  • cfgs
  • values
  • lazy
)
private

Implementation behind the public addAttrs method.

This method is invoked directly by get if it encounters a scenario in which an attribute's valueFn attempts to obtain the value an attribute in the same group of attributes, which has not yet been added (on demand initialization).

Parameters:

  • cfgs Object

    An object with attribute name/configuration pairs.

  • values Object

    An object with attribute name/value pairs, defining the initial values to apply. Values defined in the cfgs argument will be over-written by values in this argument unless defined as read only.

  • lazy Boolean

    Whether or not to delay the intialization of these attributes until the first call to get/set. Individual attributes can over-ride this behavior by defining a lazyAdd configuration property in their configuration. See addAttr.

_addLazyAttr

(
  • name
  • [lazyCfg]
)
private

Finishes initializing an attribute which has been lazily added.

Parameters:

  • name Object

    The name of the attribute

  • [lazyCfg] Object optional

    Optional config hash for the attribute. This is added for performance along the critical path, where the calling method has already obtained lazy config from state.

_addOutOfOrder

(
  • name
  • cfg
)
private

Utility method used by get/set to add attributes encountered out of order when calling addAttrs().

For example, if:

this.addAttrs({
     foo: {
         setter: function() {
            // make sure this bar is available when foo is added
            this.get("bar");
         }
     },
     bar: {
         value: ...
     }
});

Parameters:

  • name String

    attribute name

  • cfg Object

    attribute configuration

_adoptNode

_setStateVal

(
  • name
  • value
)
private

Sets the stored value for the attribute, in either the internal state object, or the state proxy if it exits

Parameters:

  • name String

    The name of the attribute

  • value Any

    The value of the attribute

addAttr

(
  • name
  • config
  • lazy
)
Object chainable

Adds an attribute with the provided configuration to the host object.

The config argument object supports the following properties:

value <Any>
The initial value to set on the attribute
valueFn <Function | String>

A function, which will return the initial value to set on the attribute. This is useful for cases where the attribute configuration is defined statically, but needs to reference the host instance ("this") to obtain an initial value. If both the value and valueFn properties are defined, the value returned by the valueFn has precedence over the value property, unless it returns undefined, in which case the value property is used.

valueFn can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used to retrieve the value.

readOnly <boolean>
Whether or not the attribute is read only. Attributes having readOnly set to true cannot be modified by invoking the set method.
writeOnce <boolean> or <string>
Whether or not the attribute is "write once". Attributes having writeOnce set to true, can only have their values set once, be it through the default configuration, constructor configuration arguments, or by invoking set.

The writeOnce attribute can also be set to the string "initOnly", in which case the attribute can only be set during initialization (when used with Base, this means it can only be set during construction)

setter <Function | String>

The setter function used to massage or normalize the value passed to the set method for the attribute. The value returned by the setter will be the final stored value. Returning Attribute.INVALID_VALUE, from the setter will prevent the value from being stored.

setter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the setter function.

getter <Function | String>

The getter function used to massage or normalize the value returned by the get method for the attribute. The value returned by the getter function is the value which will be returned to the user when they invoke get.

getter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the getter function.

validator <Function | String>

The validator function invoked prior to setting the stored value. Returning false from the validator function will prevent the value from being stored.

validator can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the validator function.

lazyAdd <boolean>
Whether or not to delay initialization of the attribute until the first call to get/set it. This flag can be used to over-ride lazy initialization on a per attribute basis, when adding multiple attributes through the addAttrs method.

The setter, getter and validator are invoked with the value and name passed in as the first and second arguments, and with the context ("this") set to the host object.

Configuration properties outside of the list mentioned above are considered private properties used internally by attribute, and are not intended for public use.

Parameters:

  • name String

    The name of the attribute.

  • config Object

    An object with attribute configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration for the attribute.

    NOTE: The configuration object is modified when adding an attribute, so if you need to protect the original values, you will need to merge the object.

  • lazy Boolean

    (optional) Whether or not to add this attribute lazily (on the first call to get/set).

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

addAttrs

(
  • cfgs

    An object with attribute name/configuration pairs.

  • values Object

    An object with attribute name/value pairs, defining the initial values to apply. Values defined in the cfgs argument will be over-written by values in this argument unless defined as read only.

  • lazy Boolean

    Whether or not to delay the intialization of these attributes until the first call to get/set. Individual attributes can over-ride this behavior by defining a lazyAdd configuration property in their configuration. See addAttr.

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

addTarget

fire

(

  • arguments
)
Boolean

Fire a custom event by name. The callback functions will be executed from the context specified when the event was created, and with the following parameters.

The first argument is the event type, and any additional arguments are passed to the listeners as parameters. If the first of these is an object literal, and the event is configured to emit an event facade, that object is mixed into the event facade and the facade is provided in place of the original object.

If the custom event object hasn't been created, then the event hasn't been published and it has no subscribers. For performance sake, we immediate exit in this case. This means the event won't bubble, so if the intention is that a bubble target be notified, the event must be published on this object first.

Parameters:

  • type String | Object

    The type of the event, or an object that contains a 'type' property.

  • arguments Object*

    an arbitrary set of parameters to pass to the handler. If the first of these is an object literal and the event is configured to emit an event facade, the event facade will replace that parameter after the properties the object literal contains are copied to the event facade.

Returns:

Boolean:

True if the whole lifecycle of the event went through, false if at any point the event propagation was halted.

get

    An object with configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration properties to modify.

on

(

  • fn
  • [context]

)
EventHandle

Subscribe a callback function to a custom event fired by this object or from an object that bubbles its events to this object.

Callback functions for events published with emitFacade = true will receive an EventFacade as the first argument (typically named "e"). These callbacks can then call e.preventDefault() to disable the behavior published to that event's defaultFn. See the EventFacade API for all available properties and methods. Subscribers to non-emitFacade events will receive the arguments passed to fire() after the event name.

To subscribe to multiple events at once, pass an object as the first argument, where the key:value pairs correspond to the eventName:callback, or pass an array of event names as the first argument to subscribe to all listed events with the same callback.

Returning false from a callback is supported as an alternative to calling e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation();. However, it is recommended to use the event methods whenever possible.

Parameters:

  • type String

    The name of the event

  • fn Function

    The callback to execute in response to the event

  • [context] Object optional

      / | \
     2  8  9
    / \     \
   3   7    10

  • [thisObj] Object optional

    this object to use when executing callback.

Returns:

Mixed:

Returns Tree.STOP_TRAVERSAL if traversal was stopped; otherwise returns undefined.

Properties

_allowAdHocAttrs

Boolean protected

Inherited from BaseCore but overwritten in app/js/view.js:111

Available since 3.5.0

This tells Y.Base that it should create ad-hoc attributes for config properties passed to View's constructor. This makes it possible to instantiate a view and set a bunch of attributes without having to subclass Y.View and declare all those attributes first.

Default: true

_handles

Array private

The list of event handles for event listeners or AOP injected methods applied by the plugin to the host object.

_isYUITree

Boolean protected

Inherited from Tree: tree/js/tree.js:126

Simple way to type-check that this is a Tree instance.

Default: true

_nodeClass

Tree.Node protected

Inherited from Tree: tree/js/tree.js:135

Composed node class based on nodeClass that mixes in any extensions specified in nodeExtensions. If there are no extensions, this will just be a reference to nodeClass.

_nodeMap

Object protected

Inherited from Tree: tree/js/tree.js:144

Mapping of node ids to node instances for nodes in this tree.

_published

Object protected

Inherited from Tree: tree/js/tree.js:171

Hash of published custom events.

Default: {}

_rootNodeConfig

Object protected

Inherited from Tree: tree/js/tree.js:151

Default config object for the root node.

children

Tree.Node[]

Inherited from Tree: tree/js/tree.js:80

Reference to the children array of this Tree's rootNode.

This is a convenience property to allow you to type tree.children instead of tree.rootNode.children.

classNames

Object

CSS class names used by this menu.

containerTemplate

String

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:40

Available since 3.5.0

Template for this view's container.

Default: "<div/>"

events

Object

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:50

Hash of CSS selectors mapped to events to delegate to elements matching those selectors.

CSS selectors are relative to the container element. Events are attached to the container, and delegation is used so that subscribers are only notified of events that occur on elements inside the container that match the specified selectors. This allows the container's contents to be re- rendered as needed without losing event subscriptions.

Event handlers can be specified either as functions or as strings that map to function names on this view instance or its prototype.

The this object in event handlers will refer to this view instance. If you'd prefer this to be something else, use Y.bind() to bind a custom this object.

Default: {}

Example:

var view = new Y.View({
    events: {
        // Call this.toggle() whenever the element with the id
        // "toggle-button" is clicked.
        '#toggle-button': {click: 'toggle'},

        // Call this.hoverOn() when the mouse moves over any element
        // with the "hoverable" class, and this.hoverOff() when the
        // mouse moves out of any element with the "hoverable" class.
        '.hoverable': {
            mouseover: 'hoverOn',
            mouseout : 'hoverOff'
        }
    }
});

name

String deprecated

Inherited from BaseCore: base/js/BaseCore.js:297

Deprecated: Use this.constructor.NAME

The string used to identify the class of this object.

nodeClass

String | Tree.Node

Inherited from Tree: tree/js/tree.js:90

The Tree.Node class or subclass that should be used for nodes created by this tree.

You may specify an actual class reference or a string that resolves to a class reference at runtime.

Default: Y.Tree.Node

nodeExtensions

Array

Inherited from Tree: tree/js/tree.js:102

Optional array containing one or more extension classes that should be mixed into the nodeClass when this Tree is instantiated. The resulting composed node class will be unique to this Tree instance and will not affect any other instances, nor will it modify the defined nodeClass itself.

This provides a late-binding extension mechanism for nodes that doesn't require them to extend Y.Base, which would incur a significant performance hit.

Default: []

rendered

Boolean

Whether or not this menu has been rendered.

Default: false

rootNode

Tree.Node

Inherited from Tree: tree/js/tree.js:117

Root node of this Tree.

sourceSelectors

Object

Selectors to use when parsing a menu structure from a DOM structure via parseHTML().

template

Mixed

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:91

Template for this view's contents.

This is a convenience property that has no default behavior of its own. It's only provided as a convention to allow you to store whatever you consider to be a template, whether that's an HTML string, a Y.Node instance, a Mustache template, or anything else your little heart desires.

How this template gets used is entirely up to you and your custom render() method.

Default: ''

Attributes

alignments

String[]

Preferred alignment positions at which this menu should be displayed relative to the anchor point when one is provided to the show(), toggle(), or reposition() methods.

The most optimal alignment position will be chosen automatically based on which one allows the most of this menu to be visible within the browser's viewport. If multiple positions are equally visible, then the optimal position will be chosen based on its order in this array.

An alignment position is a string like "tl-bl", which means "align the top left of this menu to the bottom left of its anchor point".

Any combination of top/bottom/left/right alignment positions may be used as long as they follow this format. Here are a few examples:

  • 'bl-br': Align the bottom left of this menu with the bottom right of the anchor point.
  • 'br-bl': Align the bottom right of this menu with the bottom left of the anchor point.
  • 'tl-tr': Align the top left of this menu with the top right of the anchor point.
  • 'tr-tl': Align the top right of this menu to the top left of this anchor point.

Default: ['tl-bl', 'tr-br', 'bl-tl', 'br-tr']

Fires event alignmentsChange

Fires when the value for the configuration attribute alignments is changed. You can listen for the event using the on method if you wish to be notified before the attribute's value has changed, or using the after method if you wish to be notified after the attribute's value has changed.

Parameters:

  • e EventFacade
    An Event Facade object with the following attribute-specific properties added:
    • prevVal Any
      The value of the attribute, prior to it being set.
    • newVal Any
      The value the attribute is to be set to.
    • attrName String
      The name of the attribute being set.
    • subAttrName String
      If setting a property within the attribute's value, the name of the sub-attribute property being set.

container

HTMLElement | Node | String

Inherited from View: app/js/view.js:376

Container node into which this view's content will be rendered.

The container node serves as the host for all DOM events attached by the view. Delegation is used to handle events on children of the container, allowing the container's contents to be re-rendered at any time without losing event subscriptions.

The default container is a <div> Node, but you can override this in a subclass, or by passing in a custom container config value at instantiation time. If you override the default container in a subclass using ATTRS, you must use the valueFn property. The view's constructor will ignore any assignments using value.

When container is overridden by a subclass or passed as a config option at instantiation time, you can provide it as a selector string, a DOM element, a Y.Node instance, or (if you are subclassing and modifying the attribute), a valueFn function that returns a Y.Node instance. The value will be converted into a Y.Node instance if it isn't one already.

The container is not added to the page automatically. This allows you to have full control over how and when your view is actually rendered to the page.

Default: Y.Node.create(this.containerTemplate)

    Menu item that was disabled.

enable

Fired when a menu item is enabled.

Event Payload:

hide

Fired when a menu item is hidden.

Event Payload:

init

Lifecycle event for the init phase, fired prior to initialization. Invoking the preventDefault() method on the event object provided to subscribers will prevent initialization from occuring.

Subscribers to the "after" momemt of this event, will be notified after initialization of the object is complete (and therefore cannot prevent initialization).

Event Payload:

  • e EventFacade

    Event object, with a cfg property which refers to the configuration object passed to the constructor.
