  • config
)

Parameters:

  • config Object

Item Index

Methods

Methods

@renderUI

() protected

Inherited from DataTable.Base: datatable/js/base.js:425

Available since 3.6.0

Instantiates the configured view class that will be responsible for setting up the View class.

_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

_addScrollbarPadding

() protected

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/scroll.js:193

Available since 3.5.0

Parameters:

  • event EventFacade
    The event facade for the attribute change.

    The full set of table columns

_filterAdHocAttrs

(
  • allAttrs
  • userVals
)
Object private

Parameters:

  • allAttrs Object
    The set of all attribute configurations for this instance. Attributes will be removed from this set, if they belong to the filtered class, so that by the time all classes are processed, allCfgs will be empty.
  • userVals Object
    The config object passed in by the user, from which adhoc attrs are to be filtered.

Returns:

Object: The set of adhoc attributes passed in, in the form of an object with attribute name/configuration pairs.

_filterUIEvent

Boolean private
This method is used to determine if we should fire the UI Event or not. The default implementation makes sure that for nested delegates (nested unrelated widgets), we don't fire the UI event listener more than once at each level.

For example, without the additional filter, if you have nested widgets, each widget will have a delegate listener. If you click on the inner widget, the inner delegate listener's filter will match once, but the outer will match twice (based on delegate's design) - once for the inner widget, and once for the outer.

Parameters:

Returns:

Boolean: true if it's OK to fire the custom UI event, false if not.

)
String private
Returns the fully qualified type, given a short type string. That is, returns "foo:bar" when given "bar" if "foo" is the configured prefix.

    The set of all attribute configurations for this instance. Attributes will be removed from this set, if they belong to the filtered class, so that by the time all classes are processed, allCfgs will be empty.

Returns:

Object: The set of attributes to be added for this instance, suitable for passing through to addAttrs.

_getNodeToParse

() Node private
Determines whether we have a node reference which we should try and parse. The current implementation does not parse nodes generated from CONTENT_TEMPLATE, only explicitly set srcNode, or contentBox attributes.

var table = new Y.DataTable({
    columns: [ ... ],
    data: [ ... ],
    sortBy: 'username'
});

table.get('sortBy'); // 'username'
table.get('sortBy.state'); // { key: 'username', dir: 1 }

table.sort(['lastName', { firstName: "desc" }]);
table.get('sortBy'); // ['lastName', { firstName: "desc" }]

Gets the stored value for the attribute, from either the internal state object, or the state proxy if it exits

Parameters:

  • name String
    The name of the attribute
  • [cfg] Object optional
    Optional config hash for the attribute. This is added for performance along the critical path, where the calling method has already obtained the config from state.

Returns:

Any: The stored value of the attribute

_getTHParent

(
  • thCell
)
Node protected
Retrieves the parent cell of the given TH cell. If there is no parent for the provided cell, null is returned.

Parameters:

  • thCell Node
    Cell to find parent of

_getUIEventNode

() protected

Inherited from Widget but overwritten in widget-child/js/Widget-Child.js:167

Returns the node on which to bind delegate listeners. Override of Widget's implementation of _getUIEventNode() to ensure that all event listeners are bound to the Widget's topmost DOM element.

_validTabIndex

(
  • tabIndex
)
protected

Parameters:

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
  • values
  • lazy
)
Object chainable
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.

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.

Returns:

Object: A reference to the host object.

addColumn

(
  • config
  • [index]
)
DataTable chainable

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/mutable.js:60

Available since 3.5.0

Adds the column configuration to the DataTable's columns configuration. If the index parameter is supplied, it is injected at that index. If the table has nested headers, inject a subcolumn by passing an array of indexes to identify the new column's final location. The index parameter is required if adding a nested column. This method is a convienience method for fetching the DataTable's columns attribute, updating it, and calling table.set('columns', _updatedColumnsDefs_) For example:
// Becomes last column
table.addColumn('name');

// Inserted after the current second column, moving the current third column
// to index 4
table.addColumn({ key: 'price', formatter: currencyFormatter }, 2 );

// Insert a new column in a set of headers three rows deep.  The index array
// translates to
// [ 2, --  in the third column's children
//   1, --  in the second child's children
//   3 ] -- as the fourth child column
table.addColumn({ key: 'age', sortable: true }, [ 2, 1, 3 ]);

Parameters:

  • config Object | String
    The new column configuration object
  • [index] Number | Number[] optional
    the insertion index

Returns:

addRow

  • data
  • [config]
  • [callback]
)
DataTable chainable

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/mutable.js:198

Available since 3.5.0

Adds a new record to the DataTable's data ModelList. Record data can be an object of field values or an instance of the DataTable's configured recordType class. This relays all parameters to the data ModelList's add method. If a configuration object is passed as a second argument, and that object has sync: true set, the underlying Model will be save()d. If the DataTable's autoSync attribute is set to true, the additional argument is not needed. If syncing and the last argument is a function, that function will be used as a callback to the Model's save() method.

Parameters:

  • data Object
    The data or Model instance for the new record
  • [config] Object optional
    Configuration to pass along
  • [callback] Function optional
    Callback function for Model's save()
    • err Error | Null

      If an error occurred or validation failed, this parameter will contain the error. If the sync operation succeeded, err will be null.

    • response Any

      The server's response. This value will be passed to the parse() method, which is expected to parse it and return an attribute hash.

Returns:

addRows

  • data
  • [config]
  • [callback]
)
DataTable chainable

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/mutable.js:552

Available since 3.5.0

Adds an array of new records to the DataTable's data ModelList. Record data can be an array of objects containing field values or an array of instance of the DataTable's configured recordType class. This relays all parameters to the data ModelList's add method. Technically, this is an alias to addRow, but please use the appropriately named method for readability. If a configuration object is passed as a second argument, and that object has sync: true set, the underlying Models will be save()d. If the DataTable's autoSync attribute is set to true, the additional argument is not needed. If syncing and the last argument is a function, that function will be used as a callback to each Model's save() method.

Parameters:

  • data Object
    The data or Model instances to add
  • [config] Object optional
    Configuration to pass along
  • [callback] Function optional
    Callback function for each Model's save()
    • err Error | Null

      If an error occurred or validation failed, this parameter will contain the error. If the sync operation succeeded, err will be null.

    • response Any

      The server's response. This value will be passed to the parse() method, which is expected to parse it and return an attribute hash.

Returns:

  • fn
  • context
)
EventTarget
Detach one or more listeners the from the specified event

Parameters:

  • type String | Object
    Either the handle to the subscriber or the type of event. If the type is not specified, it will attempt to remove the listener from all hosted events.
  • fn Function
    The subscribed function to unsubscribe, if not supplied, all subscribers will be removed.
  • context Object
    The custom object passed to subscribe. This is optional, but if supplied will be used to disambiguate multiple listeners that are the same (e.g., you subscribe many object using a function that lives on the prototype)

Returns:

detachAll

(
  • 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.

Parameters:

    The type, or name of the event

disable

() chainable
Set the Widget's "disabled" attribute to "true".

enable

() chainable
Set the Widget's "disabled" attribute to "false".

fire

(
  • type
  • 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.

focus

() chainable
Causes the Widget to receive the focus by setting the "focused" attribute to "true".

get

(

Any
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.

Parameters:

  • 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"))

Returns:

Any: The value of the attribute

getAttrs

(
  • attrs
)
Object
Gets multiple attribute values.

Parameters:

  • attrs String | Boolean
    Optional. An array of attribute names. If omitted, all attribute values are returned. If set to true, all attributes modified from their initial values are returned.

Returns:

Object: An object with attribute name/value pairs.

Inherited from DataTable.Base: datatable/js/base.js:253

Available since 3.5.0

Returns the <td> Node from the given row and column index. Alternately, the seed 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.taregt, [0, 1];
This is actually just a pass through to the view instance's method by the same name.

Parameters:

Model

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/core.js:262

Available since 3.5.0

Returns the Model associated to the record id, clientId, or index (not row index). If none of those yield a Model from the data ModelList, the arguments will be passed to the view instance's getRecord method if it has one. If no Model can be found, null is returned.

    Row index, Model instance, or clientId

Returns:

Node:

getSkinName

(
  • [skinPrefix]
)
String
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.

Parameters:

  • [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.

Available since 3.5.0

Updates an existing record in the DataTable's data ModelList. The record can be provided explicitly or targeted by it's id (see ModelList's getById method), clientId, or index in the ModelList. After locating the target Model, this relays the all other passed arguments to the Model's setAttrs method. If a configuration object is passed as a second argument, and that object has sync: true set, the underlying Model will be save()d. If the DataTable's autoSync attribute is set to true, the additional argument is not needed. If syncing and the last argument is a function, that function will be used as a callback to the Model's save() method.

Parameters:

      If an error occurred or validation failed, this parameter will contain the error. If the sync operation succeeded, err will be null.

    • response Any

      The server's response. This value will be passed to the parse() method, which is expected to parse it and return an attribute hash.

Returns:

moveColumn

on

(
  • type
  • fn
  • [context]
  • [arg*]
)
EventHandle
Subscribe a callback function to a custom event fired by this object or from an object that bubbles its events to this object. this.on("change", this._onChange, this); 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. this.on({ "attrChange" : this._onAttrChange, "change" : this._onChange }); You can also pass an array of event names as the first argument to subscribe to all listed events with the same callback. this.on([ "change", "attrChange" ], this._onChange); 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
    Override this object in callback
  • [arg*] Any optional

DataTable chainable

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/mutable.js:255

Available since 3.5.0

Removes a record from the DataTable's data ModelList. The record can be provided explicitly or targeted by it's id (see ModelList's getById method), clientId, or index in the ModelList. After locating the target Model, this relays the Model and all other passed arguments to the data ModelList's remove method. If a configuration object is passed as a second argument, and that object has sync: true set, the underlying Model will be destroyed, passing { delete: true } to trigger calling the Model's sync layer. If the DataTable's autoSync attribute is set to true, the additional argument is not needed. If syncing and the last argument is a function, that function will be used as a callback to the Model's destroy() method.

Parameters:

  • id Object | String | Number
    The Model instance or identifier
  • [config] Object optional
    Configuration to pass along
  • [callback] Function optional
    Callback function for Model's save()
    • err Error | Null

      If an error occurred or validation failed, this parameter will contain the error. If the sync operation succeeded, err will be null.

    • response Any

      The server's response. This value will be passed to the parse() method, which is expected to parse it and return an attribute hash.

Returns:

removeTarget

(
  • o
)
chainable
Removes a bubble target

Parameters:

render

(
  • parentNode
)
final chainable
Establishes the initial DOM for the widget. Invoking this method will lead to the creating of all DOM elements for the widget (or the manipulation of existing DOM elements for the progressive enhancement use case).

This method should only be invoked once for an initialized widget.

It delegates to the widget specific renderer method to do the actual work.

Parameters:

  • 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.

renderer

() protected
Creates 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.

Adds nodes to the DOM This method is not called by framework and is not chained automatically for the class hierarchy.

reset

(
  • name
)
Object chainable
Resets the attribute (or all attributes) to its initial value, as long as the attribute is not readOnly, or writeOnce.

Parameters:

  • name String

    Optional. The name of the attribute to reset. If omitted, all attributes are reset.

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

Alternately, to scroll to any element contained within the table's scrolling areas, pass its ID, or the Node itself (though you could just as well call node.scrollIntoView() yourself, but hey, whatever).

Parameters:

  • id String | Number | Number[] | Node
    A row clientId, row index, cell coordinate array, id string, or Node

Returns:

set

(
  • name

  • value Any
    The value to set the attribute to.
  • [opts] Object optional
    Optional data providing the circumstances for the change.

Returns:

Object: A reference to the host object.

Assigns the style width of the <col> representing the column identifed by id and updates the column configuration. Pass the empty string for width to return a column to auto sizing. This does not trigger a columnsChange event today, but I can be convinced that it should.

Parameters:

  • id Number | String | Object
    The column config object or key, name, or index of a column in the host's _displayColumns array.
  • width Number | String
    CSS width value. Numbers are treated as pixels

Acceptable values for fields are key strings or objects with a single property, the column key, with a value of 1, -1, "asc", or "desc". E.g. { username: 'asc' }. String values are assumed to be ascending. Example values would be: * "username" - sort by the data's username field or the key associated to a column with that name. * { username: "desc" } - sort by username in descending order. Alternately, use values "asc", 1 (same as "asc"), or -1 (same as "desc"). * ["lastName", "firstName"] - ascending sort by lastName, but for records with the same lastName, ascending subsort by firstName. Array can have as many items as you want. * [{ lastName: -1 }, "firstName"] - descending sort by lastName, ascending subsort by firstName. Mixed types are ok.

Parameters:

bodyView

Function

Inherited from DataTable.Base: datatable/js/base.js:639

Available since 3.5.0

If the View class assigned to the DataTable's view attribute supports it, this class will be used for rendering the contents of the <tbody> including all data rows. Similar to view, the instance of this View will be assigned to the DataTable instance's body property. It is not strictly necessary that the class function assigned here be a View subclass. It must however have a render() method.

Default: Y.DataTable.BodyView

booleanLabels

Object
Determines the texts to be shown to represent Boolean values when the [boolean](DataTable.BodyView.Formatters.html#method_boolean) formatter is used on any column. It works like the column-specific [booleanLabels](DataTable.Column.html#property_booleanLabels) but for all columns using the [boolean](DataTable.BodyView.Formatters.html#method_boolean) formatter at once.

Default: '' (empty string)

columns

Object | String

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/core.js:39

Available since 3.5.0

Columns to include in the rendered table. If omitted, the attributes on the configured recordType or the first item in the data collection will be used as a source. This attribute takes an array of strings or objects (mixing the two is fine). Each string or object is considered a column to be rendered. Strings are converted to objects, so columns: ['first', 'last'] becomes columns: [{ key: 'first' }, { key: 'last' }]. DataTable.Core only concerns itself with a few properties of columns. These properties are: * key - Used to identify the record field/attribute containing content for this column. Also used to create a default Model if no recordType or data are provided during construction. If name is not specified, this is assigned to the _id property (with added incrementer if the key is used by multiple columns). * children - Traversed to initialize nested column objects * name - Used in place of, or in addition to, the key. Useful for columns that aren't bound to a field/attribute in the record data. This is assigned to the _id property. * id - For backward compatibility. Implementers can specify the id of the header cell. This should be avoided, if possible, to avoid the potential for creating DOM elements with duplicate IDs. * field - For backward compatibility. Implementers should use name. * _id - Assigned unique-within-this-instance id for a column. By order of preference, assumes the value of name, key, id, or _yuid. This is used by the rendering views as well as feature module as a means to identify a specific column without ambiguity (such as multiple columns using the same key. * _yuid - Guid stamp assigned to the column object. * _parent - Assigned to all child columns, referencing their parent column.

Default: (from `recordType` ATTRS or first item in the `data`)

columnset

recordType

Function

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/core.js:87

Available since 3.5.0

Model subclass to use as the model for the ModelList stored in the data attribute. If not provided, it will try really hard to figure out what to use. The following attempts will be made to set a default value: 1. If the data attribute is set with a ModelList instance and its model property is set, that will be used. 2. If the data attribute is set with a ModelList instance, and its model property is unset, but it is populated, the ATTRS of the `constructor of the first item will be used. 3. If the data attribute is set with a non-empty array, a Model subclass will be generated using the keys of the first item as its ATTRS (see the _createRecordClass method). 4. If the columns attribute is set, a Model subclass will be generated using the columns defined with a key. This is least desirable because columns can be duplicated or nested in a way that's not parsable. 5. If neither data nor columns is set or populated, a change event subscriber will listen for the first to be changed and try all over again.

Default: (see description)

render

Boolean | Node
Whether or not to render the widget automatically after init, and optionally, to which parent node.

rendered

Boolean readonly
Flag indicating whether or not this Widget has been through the render lifecycle phase.

Default: false

scrollable

String | Boolean

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/scroll.js:55

Available since 3.5.0

Activates or deactivates scrolling in the table. Acceptable values are: * false - (default) Scrolling is disabled. * true or 'xy' - If height is set, vertical scrolling will be activated, if width is set, horizontal scrolling will be activated. * 'x' - Activate horizontal scrolling only. Requires the width attribute is also set. * 'y' - Activate vertical scrolling only. Requires the height attribute is also set.

showMessages

Boolean

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/message.js:29

Available since 3.5.0

Enables the display of messages in the table. Setting this to false will prevent the message Node from being created and showMessage from doing anything.

Default: true

sortable

String | String | Boolean

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/sort.js:112

Available since 3.5.0

Controls which column headers can trigger sorting by user clicks. Acceptable values are: * "auto" - (default) looks for sortable: true in the column configurations * true - all columns are enabled * `false - no UI sortable is enabled * {String[]} - array of key names to give sortable headers

Default: "auto"

sortBy

String | String | Object | Object

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/sort.js:132

Available since 3.5.0

The current sort configuration to maintain in the data. Accepts column key strings or objects with a single property, the column key, with a value of 1, -1, "asc", or "desc". E.g. `{ username: 'asc' }`. String values are assumed to be ascending. Example values would be: * "username" - sort by the data's username field or the key associated to a column with that name. * { username: "desc" } - sort by username in descending order. Alternately, use values "asc", 1 (same as "asc"), or -1 (same as "desc"). * ["lastName", "firstName"] - ascending sort by lastName, but for records with the same lastName, ascending subsort by firstName. Array can have as many items as you want. * [{ lastName: -1 }, "firstName"] - descending sort by lastName, ascending subsort by firstName. Mixed types are ok.

srcNode

String | Node
The DOM node to parse for configuration values, passed to the Widget's HTML_PARSER definition

strings

Object

Inherited from Widget but overwritten in datatable/js/sort.js:160

Available since 3.5.0

Strings containing language for sorting tooltips.

Default: (strings for current lang configured in the YUI instance config)

summary

String

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/core.js:142

Available since 3.5.0

Content for the <table summary="ATTRIBUTE VALUE HERE">. Values assigned to this attribute will be HTML escaped for security.

Default: '' (empty string)

tabIndex

Number
Number (between -32767 to 32767) indicating the widget's position in the default tab flow. The value is used to set the "tabIndex" attribute on the widget's bounding box. Negative values allow the widget to receive DOM focus programmatically (by calling the focus method), while being removed from the default tab flow. A value of null removes the "tabIndex" attribute from the widget's bounding box.

Default: null

view

Function

Inherited from DataTable.Base: datatable/js/base.js:538

Available since 3.6.0

The View class used to render the <table> into the Widget's contentBox. This View can handle the entire table rendering itself or delegate to other Views. It is not strictly necessary that the class function assigned here be a View subclass. It must however have a render() method. When the DataTable is rendered, an instance of this View will be created and its render() method called. The View instance will be assigned to the DataTable instance's view property.

Default: Y.DataTable.TableView

viewConfig

Object protected

Inherited from DataTable.Base: datatable/js/base.js:560

Available since 3.6.0

Configuration object passed to the class constructor in view during render.

Default: undefined (initially unset)

visible

Boolean
Boolean indicating whether or not the Widget is visible.

Default: TRUE

width

String | Number
String with units, or number, representing the width of the Widget. If a number is provided, the default unit, defined by the Widgets DEF_UNIT, property is used.

Default: EMPTY_STR

Events

addColumn

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/mutable.js:592

Available since 3.5.0

Fired by the addColumn method.

Event Payload:

  • column Object
    The new column definition object
  • index Number | Number[]
    The array index to insert the new column

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).

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.

modifyColumn

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/mutable.js:611

Available since 3.5.0

Fired by the modifyColumn method.

Event Payload:

  • column Object | String | Number | Number[]
    The column definition object or identifier
  • newColumnDef Object
    The properties to assign to the column

moveColumn

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/mutable.js:621

Available since 3.5.0

Fired by the moveColumn method.

Event Payload:

  • column Object | String | Number | Number[]
    The column definition object or identifier
  • index Object
    The destination index to move to

removeColumn

Inherited from DataTable: datatable/js/mutable.js:602

Available since 3.5.0

Fired by the removeColumn method.

Event Payload:

  • column Object | String | Number | Number[]
    The column definition object or identifier

render

Lifecycle event for the render phase, fired prior to rendering the UI for the widget (prior to invoking the widget's renderer method).

Subscribers to the "on" moment of this event, will be notified before the widget is rendered.

Subscribers to the "after" moment of this event, will be notified after rendering is complete.

Event Payload:

sort

Notifies of an impending sort, either from clicking on a column header, or from a call to the sort or toggleSort method. The requested sort is available in the sortBy property of the event. The default behavior of this event sets the table's sortBy attribute.

Event Payload:

  • sortBy String | String | Object | Object
    The requested sort

widget:contentUpdate

Notification event, which widget implementations can fire, when they change the content of the widget. This event has no default behavior and cannot be prevented, so the "on" or "after" moments are effectively equivalent (with on listeners being invoked before after listeners).

Event Payload:
