Creates a button
_addAttrs
cfgs
values
lazy
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).
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]
Finishes initializing an attribute which has been lazily added.
_addOutOfOrder
name
cfg
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: ...
}
});
_getAttr
name
Provides the common implementation for the public get method, allowing Attribute hosts to over-ride either method.
See get for argument details.
name
String
The name of the attribute.
The value of the attribute.
_getAttrInitVal
attr
cfg
initValues
Returns the initial value of the given attribute from either the default configuration provided, or the over-ridden value if it exists in the set of initValues provided and the attribute is not read-only.
The initial value of the attribute.
_getAttrs

Implementation behind the public getAttrs method, to get multiple attribute values.
An object with attribute name/value pairs.

_initAttrHost
attrs
values
lazy
Constructor logic for attributes. Initializes the host state, and sets up the inital attributes passed to the constructor.

lazy
Boolean
Whether or not to add attributes lazily (passed through to addAttrs).
_initAttrs
attrs
values
lazy
Utility method to set up initial attributes defined during construction, either through the constructor.ATTRS property, or explicitly passed in.
attrs
Object
The attributes to add during construction (passed through to addAttrs). These can also be defined on the constructor being augmented with Attribute by defining the ATTRS property on the constructor.

name
String

true if it's a lazily added attribute, false otherwise.
_normAttrVals
valueHash
Utility method to normalize attribute values. The base implementation simply merges the hash to protect the original.
valueHash

The currently stored value of the attribute.
newVal
Any
The value which is going to be stored.
[opts]
Object
optional
Optional data providing the circumstances for the change.
[attrCfg]

The value of the attribute
addAttr
name
config
lazy
Adds an attribute with the provided configuration to the host object.
The config argument object supports the following properties:
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 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.
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.
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.
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).
A reference to the host object.
addAttrs
cfgs
values
lazy
Configures a group of attributes, and sets initial values.
NOTE: This method does not isolate the configuration object by merging/cloning. The caller is responsible for merging/cloning the configuration object if required.
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.
A reference to the host object.
attrAdded
name
Checks if the given attribute has been added to the host
name
String
The name of the attribute to check.

disable
Sets the button's disabled
DOM attribute to true
enable

DOM attribute to false
get
name
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

Gets multiple attribute values.
An object with attribute name/value pairs.
renderUI
config
Renders any UI/DOM elements for Button instances
config
Object
Config object.
set
name
value
[opts]
Sets the value of an attribute.
name
String
The name of the attribute. If the
current value of the attribute is an Object, dot notation can be used
to set the value of a property within the object (e.g. set("x.y.z", 5)
).

Any
The value to set the attribute to.
[opts]

A reference to the host object.
CLASS_NAMES
Array of static constants used to identify the classnames applied to DOM nodes
labelHTML
The HTML of the button's label
This attribute accepts HTML and inserts it into the DOM without
sanitization. This attribute should only be used with HTML that has
either been escaped (using Y.Escape.html
), or sanitized according to
the requirements of your application.
If all you need is support for text labels, please use the label
attribute instead.
