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.
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)

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.
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.
name
String
The name of the attribute.
config
Object
An object with attribute configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration for the attribute.

firetype
arguments
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.
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.
True if the whole lifecycle of the event went through, false if at any point the event propagation was halted.
focusCauses the Widget to receive the focus by setting the "focused" attribute to "true".
getname
Returns the current value of the attribute. If the attribute has been configured with a 'getter' function, this method will delegate to the 'getter' to obtain the value of the attribute.
name
String

dot notation can be used to obtain the value of a property of the object (e.g. get("x.y.z"))
The value of the attribute
getAttrsattrs
Gets multiple attribute values.
An object with attribute name/value pairs.
getClassNameargs
Generate a standard prefixed classname for the Widget, prefixed by the default prefix defined
by the Y.config.classNamePrefix attribute used by ClassNameManager and
Widget.NAME.toLowerCase() (e.g. "yui-widget-xxxxx-yyyyy", based on default values for
the prefix and widget class name).
The instance based version of this method can be used to generate standard prefixed classnames, based on the instances NAME, as opposed to Widget.NAME. This method should be used when you need to use a constant class name across different types instances.
args
String*
multiple
0..n strings which should be concatenated, using the default separator defined by ClassNameManager, to create the class name
getEventtype
prefixed
Returns the custom event of the provided type has been created, a falsy value otherwise
the custom event or null
getSkinName[skinPrefix]
Returns the name of the skin that's currently applied to the widget.
Searches up the Widget's ancestor axis for, by default, a class yui3-skin-(name), and returns the (name) portion. Otherwise, returns null.
This is only really useful after the widget's DOM structure is in the document, either by render or by progressive enhancement.
[skinPrefix]
String
optional
The prefix which the implementation uses for the skin ("yui3-skin-" is the default).
NOTE: skinPrefix will be used as part of a regular expression:
new RegExp('\\b' + skinPrefix + '(\\S+)')Although an unlikely use case, literal characters which may result in an invalid regular expression should be escaped.
The name of the skin, or null, if a matching skin class is not found.

isRootDetermines if the Widget is the root Widget in the object hierarchy.
Boolean indicating if Widget is the root Widget in the object hierarchy.
modifyAttrname
config
Updates the configuration of an attribute which has already been added.
The properties which can be modified through this interface are limited to the following subset of attributes, which can be safely modified after a value has already been set on the attribute:
Note: New attributes cannot be added using this interface. New attributes must be added using addAttr, or an appropriate manner for a class which utilises Attributes (e.g. the ATTRS property in Base).
movex
[y]
Moves the Widget to the specified page xy co-ordinate position.
nextcircular
Returns the Widget's next sibling.
circular
Boolean
Boolean indicating if the parent's first child should be returned if the child has no next sibling.
Widget instance.
ontype
fn
[context]
[arg*]
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.
A subscription handle capable of detaching that subscription
oncetype
fn

This method should only be invoked once for an initialized widget.
It delegates to the widget specific renderer method to do the actual work.
parentNode
Object | String
Optional. The Node under which the Widget is to be rendered. This can be a Node instance or a CSS selector string.
If the selector string returns more than one Node, the first node will be used as the parentNode. NOTE: This argument is required if both the boundingBox and contentBox are not currently in the document. If it's not provided, the Widget will be rendered to the body of the current document in this case.
rendererCreates DOM (or manipulates DOM for progressive enhancement) This method is invoked by render() and is not chained automatically for the class hierarchy (unlike initializer, destructor) so it should be chained manually for subclasses if required.
renderUIAdds nodes to the DOM
This method is not called by framework and is not chained automatically for the class hierarchy.
resetname
Resets the attribute (or all attributes) to its initial value, as long as the attribute is not readOnly, or writeOnce.

sendRequest[query]
[requestTemplate]
Sends a request to the configured source. If no source is configured, this method won't do anything.
Usually there's no reason to call this method manually; it will be called
automatically when user input causes a query event to be fired. The only
time you'll need to call this method manually is if you want to force a
request to be sent when no user input has occurred.

Fires when the value for the configuration attribute requestTemplate 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.
e
EventFacade
resultFiltersArray of local result filter functions. If provided, each filter will be
called with two arguments when results are received: the query and an array
of result objects. See the documentation for the results event for a list
of the properties available on each result object.
Each filter is expected to return a filtered or modified version of the
results array, which will then be passed on to subsequent filters, then the
resultHighlighter function (if set), then the resultFormatter function
(if set), and finally to subscribers to the results event.
If no source is set, result filters will not be called.
Prepackaged result filters provided by the autocomplete-filters and
autocomplete-filters-accentfold modules can be used by specifying the filter
name as a string, such as 'phraseMatch' (assuming the necessary filters
module is loaded).
Default: []
resultFiltersChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute resultFilters 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.
e
EventFacade
resultFormatterFunction which will be used to format results. If provided, this function will be called with two arguments after results have been received and filtered: the query and an array of result objects. The formatter is expected to return an array of HTML strings or Node instances containing the desired HTML for each result.
See the documentation for the results event for a list of the properties
available on each result object.
If no source is set, the formatter will not be called.
resultFormatterChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute resultFormatter 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.
e
EventFacade
resultHighlighterFunction which will be used to highlight results. If provided, this function will be called with two arguments after results have been received and filtered: the query and an array of filtered result objects. The highlighter is expected to return an array of highlighted result text in the form of HTML strings.
See the documentation for the results event for a list of the properties
available on each result object.
If no source is set, the highlighter will not be called.
resultHighlighterChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute resultHighlighter 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.
e
EventFacade
resultListLocatorLocator that should be used to extract an array of results from a non-array response.
By default, no locator is applied, and all responses are assumed to be arrays by default. If all responses are already arrays, you don't need to define a locator.
The locator may be either a function (which will receive the raw response as
an argument and must return an array) or a string representing an object
path, such as "foo.bar.baz" (which would return the value of
result.foo.bar.baz if the response is an object).
While resultListLocator may be set to either a function or a string, it
will always be returned as a function that accepts a response argument and
returns an array.
resultListLocatorChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute resultListLocator 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.
e
EventFacade
resultsCurrent results, or an empty array if there are no results.
Default: []
resultsChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute results 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.
e
EventFacade
resultTextLocatorLocator that should be used to extract a plain text string from a non-string result item. The resulting text value will typically be the value that ends up being inserted into an input field or textarea when the user of an autocomplete implementation selects a result.
By default, no locator is applied, and all results are assumed to be plain text strings. If all results are already plain text strings, you don't need to define a locator.
The locator may be either a function (which will receive the raw result as
an argument and must return a string) or a string representing an object
path, such as "foo.bar.baz" (which would return the value of
result.foo.bar.baz if the result is an object).
While resultTextLocator may be set to either a function or a string, it
will always be returned as a function that accepts a result argument and
returns a string.
resultTextLocatorChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute resultTextLocator 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.
e
EventFacade
scrollIntoViewIf true, the viewport will be scrolled to ensure that the active list
item is visible when necessary.
Default: false
scrollIntoViewChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute scrollIntoView 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.
e
EventFacade
sourceSource for autocomplete results. The following source types are supported:
The full array will be provided to any configured filters for each query. This is an easy way to create a fully client-side autocomplete implementation.
<p>
Example: <code>['first result', 'second result', 'etc']</code>
</p>
DataSource instance or other object that provides a DataSource-like
sendRequest method. See the DataSource documentation for details.
A function source will be called with the current query and a callback function as parameters, and should either return an array of results (for synchronous operation) or return nothing and pass an array of results to the provided callback (for asynchronous operation).
<p>
Example (synchronous):
</p>
<pre>
function (query) {
return ['foo', 'bar'];
}
</pre>
<p>
Example (async):
</p>
<pre>
function (query, callback) {
callback(['foo', 'bar']);
}
</pre>
An object will be treated as a query hashmap. If a property on the object matches the current query, the value of that property will be used as the response.
<p>
The response is assumed to be an array of results by default. If the
response is not an array, provide a <code>resultListLocator</code> to
process the response and return an array.
</p>
<p>
Example: <code>{foo: ['foo result 1', 'foo result 2'], bar: ['bar result']}</code>
</p>
If the optional autocomplete-sources module is loaded, then
the following additional source types will be supported as well:
resultTextLocator of 'text'
or 'value', depending on what you want to use as the text of the
result.
Each result will be an object with the following properties:
HTML content of the <option> element.
Index of the <option> element in the list.
Node instance referring to the original <option> element.
Whether or not this item is currently selected in the <select> list.
Text content of the <option> element.
Value of the <option> element.
If a URL with a {callback} placeholder is provided, it will be used to
make a JSONP request. The {query} placeholder will be replaced with
the current query, and the {callback} placeholder will be replaced
with an internally-generated JSONP callback name. Both placeholders must
appear in the URL, or the request will fail. An optional {maxResults}
placeholder may also be provided, and will be replaced with the value of
the maxResults attribute (or 1000 if the maxResults attribute is 0 or
less).
<p>
The response is assumed to be an array of results by default. If the
response is not an array, provide a <code>resultListLocator</code> to process the
response and return an array.
</p>
<p>
<strong>The <code>jsonp</code> module must be loaded in order for
JSONP URL sources to work.</strong> If the <code>jsonp</code> module
is not already loaded, it will be loaded on demand if possible.
</p>
<p>
Example: <code>'http://example.com/search?q={query}&callback={callback}'</code>
</p>
If a URL without a {callback} placeholder is provided, it will be used
to make a same-origin XHR request. The {query} placeholder will be
replaced with the current query. An optional {maxResults} placeholder
may also be provided, and will be replaced with the value of the
maxResults attribute (or 1000 if the maxResults attribute is 0 or less).
<p>
The response is assumed to be a JSON array of results by default. If the
response is a JSON object and not an array, provide a
<code>resultListLocator</code> to process the response and return an array. If the
response is in some form other than JSON, you will need to use a custom
DataSource instance as the source.
</p>
<p>
<strong>The <code>io-base</code> and <code>json-parse</code> modules
must be loaded in order for XHR URL sources to work.</strong> If
these modules are not already loaded, they will be loaded on demand
if possible.
</p>
<p>
Example: <code>'http://example.com/search?q={query}'</code>
</p>
If a YQL query is provided, it will be used to make a YQL request. The
{query} placeholder will be replaced with the current autocomplete
query. This placeholder must appear in the YQL query, or the request
will fail. An optional {maxResults} placeholder may also be provided,
and will be replaced with the value of the maxResults attribute (or 1000
if the maxResults attribute is 0 or less).
<p>
<strong>The <code>yql</code> module must be loaded in order for YQL
sources to work.</strong> If the <code>yql</code> module is not
already loaded, it will be loaded on demand if possible.
</p>
<p>
Example: <code>'select * from search.suggest where query="{query}"'</code>
</p>
As an alternative to providing a source, you could simply listen for query
events and handle them any way you see fit. Providing a source is optional,
but will usually be simpler.
sourceChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute source is
changed. You can listen for the event using the on method if you

e
EventFacade
sourceTypeMay be used to force a specific source type, overriding the automatic source type detection. It should almost never be necessary to do this, but as they taught us in the Boy Scouts, one should always be prepared, so it's here if you need it. Be warned that if you set this attribute and something breaks, it's your own fault.
Supported sourceType values are: 'array', 'datasource', 'function', and
'object'.
If the autocomplete-sources module is loaded, the following additional
source types are supported: 'io', 'jsonp', 'select', 'string', 'yql'

resultsFires after query results are received from the source. If no source has been set, this event will not fire.
data
Array | Object
Raw, unfiltered result data (if available).
query
String
Query that generated these results.
results
Object[]
Array of filtered, formatted, and highlighted results. Each item in the array is an object with the following properties:
display
Node | HTMLElement | String
Formatted result
HTML suitable for display to the user. If no custom formatter is
set, this will be an HTML-escaped version of the string in the
text property.
[highlighted]
String
optional

raw
Any
Raw, unformatted result in whatever form it was provided by the source.
text
String
