View class responsible for rendering the <tbody>
section of a table. Used as
the default bodyView
for Y.DataTable.Base
and Y.DataTable
classes.
Translates the provided modelList
into a rendered <tbody>
based on the data
in the constituent Models, altered or amended by any special column
configurations.
The columns
configuration, passed to the constructor, determines which
columns will be rendered.
The rendering process involves constructing an HTML template for a complete row
of data, built by concatenating a customized copy of the instance's
CELL_TEMPLATE
into the ROW_TEMPLATE
once for each column. This template is
then populated with values from each Model in the modelList
, aggregating a
complete HTML string of all row and column data. A <tbody>
Node is then created from the markup and any column nodeFormatter
s are applied.
Supported properties of the column objects include:
key
- Used to link a column to an attribute in a Model.name
- Used for columns that don't relate to an attribute in the Model
(formatter
or nodeFormatter
only) if the implementer wants a
predictable name to refer to in their CSS.cellTemplate
- Overrides the instance's CELL_TEMPLATE
for cells in this
column only.formatter
- Used to customize or override the content value from the
Model. These do not have access to the cell or row Nodes and should
return string (HTML) content.nodeFormatter
- Used to provide content for a cell as well as perform any
custom modifications on the cell or row Node that could not be performed by
formatter
s. Should be used sparingly for better performance.emptyCellValue
- String (HTML) value to use if the Model data for a
column, or the content generated by a formatter
, is the empty string,
null
, or undefined
.allowHTML
- Set to true
if a column value, formatter
, or
emptyCellValue
can contain HTML. This defaults to false
to protect
against XSS.className
- Space delimited CSS classes to add to all <td>
s in a column.A column formatter
can be:
Y.DataTable.BodyView.Formatters
hash using the
value of the formatter
property as the index.{value}
placeholder to include the value
for the current cell or the name of any field in the underlaying model
also enclosed in curly braces. Any number and type of these placeholders
can be used.Column formatter
s are passed an object (o
) with the following properties:
value
- The current value of the column's associated attribute, if any.data
- An object map of Model keys to their current values.record
- The Model instance.column
- The column configuration object for the current column.className
- Initially empty string to allow formatter
s to add CSS
classes to the cell's <td>
.rowIndex
- The zero-based row number.rowClass
- Initially empty string to allow formatter
s to add CSS
classes to the cell's containing row <tr>
.They may return a value or update o.value
to assign specific HTML content. A
returned value has higher precedence.
Column nodeFormatter
s are passed an object (o
) with the following
properties:
value
- The current value of the column's associated attribute, if any.td
- The <td>
Node instance.cell
- The <div>
liner Node instance if present, otherwise, the <td>
.
When adding content to the cell, prefer appending into this property.data
- An object map of Model keys to their current values.record
- The Model instance.column
- The column configuration object for the current column.rowIndex
- The zero-based row number.They are expected to inject content into the cell's Node directly, including
any "empty" cell content. Each nodeFormatter
will have access through the
Node API to all cells and rows in the <tbody>
, but not to the <table>
, as
it will not be attached yet.
If a nodeFormatter
returns false
, the o.td
and o.cell
Nodes will be
destroy()
ed to remove them from the Node cache and free up memory. The DOM
elements will remain as will any content added to them. It is highly
advisable to always return false
from your nodeFormatter
s.
_addAttrs
cfgs
values

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:

setter: function() {
// make sure this bar is available when foo is added
this.get("bar");
}
},
bar: {
value: ...
}
});
_afterColumnsChange
e
Handles changes in the source's columns attribute. Redraws the table data.
e
EventFacade
The columnsChange
event object
_afterContainerChange
Handles containerChange
events. Detaches event handlers from the old
container (if any) and attaches them to the new container.
Right now the container
attr is initOnly so this event should only ever
fire the first time the container is created, but in the future (once Y.App
can handle it) we may allow runtime container changes.
_afterDataChange
e
Handles modelList changes, including additions, deletions, and updates.
Modifies the existing table DOM accordingly.

allAttrs
Array
An array of ATTRS definitions across classes in the hierarchy (subclass first, Base last)
The aggregate set of ATTRS definitions for the instance
_applyNodeFormatters

columns
param on the appropriate cell Nodes in the tbody
.

_baseDestroy
Internal destroy implementation for BaseCore
_baseInit

to override cell
content for the appropriate column. The aggregated HTML string is
returned.

The markup for all Models in the modelList
, each applied
to the _rowTemplate
_createRowHTML
model
index
displayCols
Applies the data of a given Model, modified by any column formatters and
supplemented by other template values to the instance's _rowTemplate
(see
_createRowTemplate
). The generated string is then returned.
The data from Model's attributes is fetched by toJSON
and this data
object is appended with other properties to supply values to {placeholders}
in the template. For a template generated from a Model with 'foo' and 'bar'
attributes, the data object would end up with the following properties
before being used to populate the _rowTemplate
:
clientID
- From Model, used the assign the <tr>
's 'id' attribute.foo
- The value to populate the 'foo' column cell content. This
value will be the value stored in the Model's foo
attribute, or the
result of the column's formatter
if assigned. If the value is '',
null
, or undefined
, and the column's emptyCellValue
is assigned,
that value will be used.bar
- Same for the 'bar' column cell content.foo-className
- String of CSS classes to apply to the <td>
.bar-className
- Same.rowClass
- String of CSS classes to apply to the <tr>
. This
will be the odd/even class per the specified index plus any additional
classes assigned by column formatters (via o.rowClass
).Because this object is available to formatters, any additional properties
can be added to fill in custom {placeholders} in the _rowTemplate
.
The markup for the provided Model, less any nodeFormatter
s
_createRowTemplate

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.

name
String
The name of the attribute.

A subscription handle capable of detaching the subscription
attachEvents
[events]
Attaches delegated event handlers to this view's container element. This
method is called internally to subscribe to events configured in the
events
attribute when the view is initialized.
You may override this method to customize the event attaching logic.

events
attribute for details on the format. If not specified, this
view's events
property will be used.

String
The name of the attribute to check.
true if an attribute with the given name has been added, false if it hasn't. This method will return true for lazily added attributes.

fire
type
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.
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
The name of the attribute. If the value of the attribute is an Object,
dot notation can be used to obtain the value of a property of the object (e.g. get("x.y.z")

can be a Node. If so, the nearest ancestor cell is returned.
If the seed
is a cell, it is returned. If there is no cell at the given
coordinates, null
is returned.
Optionally, include an offset array or string to return a cell near the
cell identified by the seed
. The offset can be an array containing the
number of rows to shift followed by the number of columns to shift, or one
of "above", "below", "next", or "previous".
// Previous cell in the previous row
var cell = table.getCell(e.target, [-1, -1]);
// Next cell
var cell = table.getCell(e.target, 'next');
var cell = table.getCell(e.target, [0, 1];
getClassName
token
Returns the generated CSS classname based on the input. If the host
attribute is configured, it will attempt to relay to its getClassName
or use its static NAME
property as a string base.

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).
on
type
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

parseType
type
[pre]
Takes the type parameter passed to 'on' and parses out the various pieces that could be included in the type. If the event type is passed without a prefix, it will be expanded to include the prefix one is supplied or the event target is configured with a default prefix.
an array containing:
publish
type
opts
Creates a new custom event of the specified type. If a custom event by that name already exists, it will not be re-created. In either case the custom event is returned.

optional config params. Valid properties are:
the custom event
refreshCell
cell
[model]
[col]
Refreshes the given cell with the provided model data and the provided column configuration.
Uses the provided column formatter if aviable.
refreshRow
row
model
colKeys
Refreshes the provided row against the provided model and the Array of columns to be updated.
remove
Removes this view's container element from the DOM (if it's in the DOM), but doesn't destroy it or any event listeners attached to it.
removeAttr
name
Removes an attribute from the host object
name
String
The name of the attribute to be removed.
render
Creates the table's <tbody>
content by assembling markup generated by
populating the ROW\_TEMPLATE
, and CELL\_TEMPLATE
templates with content
from the columns
and modelList
attributes.
The rendering process happens in three stages:
A row template is assembled from the columns
attribute (see
_createRowTemplate
)
An HTML string is built up by concatenating the application of the data in
each Model in the modelList
to the row template. For cells with
formatter
s, the function is called to generate cell content. Cells
with nodeFormatter
s are ignored. For all other cells, the data value
from the Model attribute for the given column key is used. The
accumulated row markup is then inserted into the container.
If any column is configured with a nodeFormatter
, the modelList
is
iterated again to apply the nodeFormatter
s.
Supported properties of the column objects include:
key
- Used to link a column to an attribute in a Model.name
- Used for columns that don't relate to an attribute in the Model
(formatter
or nodeFormatter
only) if the implementer wants a
predictable name to refer to in their CSS.cellTemplate
- Overrides the instance's CELL_TEMPLATE
for cells in
this column only.formatter
- Used to customize or override the content value from the
Model. These do not have access to the cell or row Nodes and should
return string (HTML) content.nodeFormatter
- Used to provide content for a cell as well as perform
any custom modifications on the cell or row Node that could not be
performed by formatter
s. Should be used sparingly for better
performance.emptyCellValue
- String (HTML) value to use if the Model data for a
column, or the content generated by a formatter
, is the empty string,
null
, or undefined
.allowHTML
- Set to true
if a column value, formatter
, or
emptyCellValue
can contain HTML. This defaults to false
to protect
against XSS.className
- Space delimited CSS classes to add to all <td>
s in a
column.Column formatter
s are passed an object (o
) with the following
properties:
value
- The current value of the column's associated attribute, if
any.data
- An object map of Model keys to their current values.record
- The Model instance.column
- The column configuration object for the current column.className
- Initially empty string to allow formatter
s to add CSS
classes to the cell's <td>
.rowIndex
- The zero-based row number.rowClass
- Initially empty string to allow formatter
s to add CSS
classes to the cell's containing row <tr>
.They may return a value or update o.value
to assign specific HTML
content. A returned value has higher precedence.
Column nodeFormatter
s are passed an object (o
) with the following
properties:
value
- The current value of the column's associated attribute, if
any.td
- The <td>
Node instance.cell
- The <div>
liner Node instance if present, otherwise, the
<td>
. When adding content to the cell, prefer appending into this
property.data
- An object map of Model keys to their current values.record
- The Model instance.column
- The column configuration object for the current column.rowIndex
- The zero-based row number.They are expected to inject content into the cell's Node directly, including
any "empty" cell content. Each nodeFormatter
will have access through the
Node API to all cells and rows in the <tbody>
, but not to the <table>
,
as it will not be attached yet.
If a nodeFormatter
returns false
, the o.td
and o.cell
Nodes will be
destroy()
ed to remove them from the Node cache and free up memory. The
DOM elements will remain as will any content added to them. It is highly
advisable to always return false
from your nodeFormatter
s.
reset
name
Resets the attribute (or all attributes) to its initial value, as long as the attribute is not readOnly, or writeOnce.
name
String
Optional. The name of the attribute to reset. If omitted, all attributes are reset.
A reference to the host 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)
).
value
Any
The value to set the attribute to.
[opts]
Object
optional
Optional data providing the circumstances for the change.
A reference to the host object.
setAttrs
attrs
[opts]
Sets multiple attribute values.
A reference to the host object.
subscribe
subscribe to an event
toString
Default toString implementation. Provides the constructor NAME and the instance guid, if set.
String representation for this object
unsubscribe
detach a listener
unsubscribeAll
type
Removes all listeners from the specified event. If the event type is not specified, all listeners from all hosted custom events will be removed.
type
String
The type, or name of the event
_allowAdHocAttrs
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
_eventHandles
Holds the event subscriptions needing to be detached when the instance is
destroy()
ed.
Default: undefined (initially unset)
_rowTemplate
The HTML template used to create a full row of markup for a single Model in
the modelList
plus any customizations defined in the column
configurations.
Default: (initially unset)
CELL_TEMPLATE
HTML template used to create table cells.
Default: '<td {headers} class="{className}">{content}</td>'
CLASS_EVEN
CSS class applied to even rows. This is assigned at instantiation.
For DataTable, this will be yui3-datatable-even
.
Default: 'yui3-table-even'
CLASS_ODD
CSS class applied to odd rows. This is assigned at instantiation.
When used by DataTable instances, this will be yui3-datatable-odd
.
Default: 'yui3-table-odd'
events
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: {}
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'
}
}
});
Formatters
Hash of formatting functions for cell contents.
This property can be populated with a hash of formatting functions by the developer
or a set of pre-defined functions can be loaded via the datatable-formatters
module.
host
The object that serves as the source of truth for column and row data.
This property is assigned at instantiation from the host
property of
the configuration object passed to the constructor.
Default: (initially unset)
ROW_TEMPLATE
HTML template used to create table rows.
Default: '<tr id="{rowId}" data-yui3-record="{clientId}" class="{rowClass}">{content}</tr>'
TBODY_TEMPLATE
HTML templates used to create the <tbody>
containing the table rows.
Default: '<tbody class="{className}">{content}</tbody>'
template
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: ''
container
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)
containerChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute container
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
destroyed
Flag indicating whether or not this object has been through the destroy lifecycle phase.
Default: false
destroyedChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute destroyed
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
initialized
Flag indicating whether or not this object has been through the init lifecycle phase.
Default: false
initializedChange
Fires when the value for the configuration attribute initialized
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
destroy
Lifecycle event for the destroy phase, fired prior to destruction. Invoking the preventDefault method on the event object provided to subscribers will prevent destruction from proceeding.
Subscribers to the "after" moment of this event, will be notified after destruction is complete (and as a result cannot prevent destruction).
e
EventFacade
Event object
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).
e
EventFacade
Event object, with a cfg property which refers to the configuration object passed to the constructor.
