JET NBox Component

NBox components are used in HCM (Human Capital Management) applications to measure employees across two dimensions (e.g. potential and performance). Each dimension can be split into multiple ranges, whose intersections result in distinct cells which employees can be placed into.

This component should be bound to an HTML div element, and the SVG DOM that it generates should be treated as a black box, as it is subject to change. This component should not be extended.


<div data-bind="ojComponent: {
  component: 'ojNBox',
  columns: [{id:'low'}{id:'high'}],
  rows: [{id:'low'},{id:'high'}],
  nodes: [{column:'low', row:'high', label:'Employee 1'},
          {column:'low', row:'low', label:'Employee 2'},
          {column:'high', row:'high', label:'Employee 3'},
          {column:'low', row:'high', label:'Employee 4'}]
}"/>

Accessibility

The application is responsible for populating the shortDesc value in the component options object with meaningful descriptors when the component does not provide a default descriptor. Since component terminology for keyboard and touch shortcuts can conflict with those of the application, it is the application's responsibility to provide these shortcuts, possibly via a help popup.

Performance

Animation

Animation should only be enabled for visualizations of small to medium data sets. Alternate visualizations should be considered if identifying data changes is important, since all nodes will generally move and resize on any data change.

Data Set Size

Applications should avoid setting very large data densities on this component. Applications can enable progressive reveal of data through drilling or aggregate small nodes to reduce the displayed data set size.

Style Attributes

Use the highest level options property available. For example, consider using attributes on styleDefaults.nodeDefaults, instead of attributes on the individual nodes. The component can take advantage of these higher level attributes to apply the style properties on containers, saving expensive DOM calls.

Reading direction

As with any JET component, in the unusual case that the directionality (LTR or RTL) changes post-init, the component must be refresh()ed.

Initializer

.ojNBox()

Creates a JET NBox.
Source:
Example

Initialize the NBox:

$(".selector").ojNBox({columns: [{id:'low'}, {id:'high'}],
                       rows: [{id:'low'}, {id:'high'}],
                       maximizedColumn: 'high',
                       maximizedRow: 'low',
                       nodes: [{column:'low', row:'high', label:'Employee 1'},
                               {column:'low', row:'low', label:'Employee 2'},

To specify a JET context menu on a DOM element that is not a JET component, see the ojContextMenu binding.

To make the page semantically accurate from the outset, applications are encouraged to specify the context menu via the standard HTML5 syntax shown in the below example. When the component is initialized, the context menu thus specified will be set on the component.

After create time, the contextMenu option should be set via this API, not by setting the DOM attribute.

Default Value:
  • null

Source:
Examples

Initialize a JET component with a context menu:

// via recommended HTML5 syntax:
<div id="myComponent" contextmenu="myMenu" data-bind="ojComponent: { ... }>

// via JET initializer (less preferred) :
// Foo is the component, e.g., InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc.
$( ".selector" ).ojFoo({ "contextMenu": "#myMenu" });

Get or set the contextMenu option, after initialization:

// getter
// Foo is the component, e.g., Menu, Button, InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc.
var menu = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "contextMenu" );

// setter
// Foo is the component, e.g., InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc.

rootAttributes :Object

Attributes specified here will be set on the component's root DOM element at creation time. This is particularly useful for components like Dialog that wrap themselves in a new root element at creation time.

The supported attributes are id, which overwrites any existing value, and class and style, which are appended to the current class and style, if any.

Setting this option after component creation has no effect. At that time, the root element already exists, and can be accessed directly via the widget method, per the second example below.

Default Value:
  • null
Inherited From:
Source:
Examples

Initialize a JET component, specifying a set of attributes to be set on the component's root DOM element:

// Foo is the component, e.g., Menu, Button, InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc.
$( ".selector" ).ojFoo({ "rootAttributes": {
  "id": "myId",
  "style": "max-width:100%; color:blue;",
  "class": "my-class"
}});

After initialization, rootAttributes should not be used. It is not needed at that time, as attributes of the root DOM element can simply be set directly, using widget:

// Foo is the component, e.g., Menu, Button, InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc.
$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "widget" ).css( "height", "100px" );
$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "widget" ).addClass( "my-class" );

option(optionName, value) → {Object|undefined}

This method has several overloads, which get and set component options and their fields. The functionality is unchanged from that provided by JQUI. See the examples for details on each overload.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
optionName string | Object <optional>
the option name (string, first two overloads), or the map (Object, last overload). Omitted in the third overload.
value Object <optional>
a value to set for the option. Second overload only.
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
The getter overloads return the retrieved value(s). When called via the public jQuery syntax, the setter overloads return the object on which they were called, to facilitate method chaining.
Type
Object | undefined
Examples

First overload: get one option:

This overload accepts a (possibly dot-separated) optionName param as a string, and returns the current value of that option.

var isDisabled = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "disabled" ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.

// For object-valued options, dot notation can be used to get the value of a field or nested field.
var startIcon = $( ".selector" ).ojButton( "option", "icons.start" ); // icons is object with "start" field

Second overload: set one option:

This overload accepts two params: a (possibly dot-separated) optionName string, and a new value to which that option will be set.

$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "disabled", true ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.

// For object-valued options, dot notation can be used to set the value
// of a field or nested field, without altering the rest of the object.
$( ".selector" ).ojButton( "option", "icons.start", myStartIcon ); // icons is object with "start" field

Third overload: get all options:

This overload accepts no params, and returns a map of key/value pairs representing all the component options and their values.

var options = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option" ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.

Fourth overload: set one or more options:

This overload accepts a single map of option-value pairs to set on the component. Unlike the first two overloads, dot notation cannot be used.

$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", { disabled: true, bar: 42 } ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.

refresh()

Refreshes the component.

Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
When called via the public jQuery syntax, this method returns the object on which it was called, to facilitate method chaining.

Non-public Methods

Note: Extending JET components is not currently supported. Thus, non-public methods are for internal use only.

<protected> _AddAutomationGetters(map)

Adds getters for the properties on the specified map.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
map Object | null
Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _AfterCreate()

This method is called after _ComponentCreate, but before the create event is fired. The JET base component does tasks here that must happen after the component (subclass) has created itself in its override of _ComponentCreate. Notably, the base component handles the rootAttributes and contextMenu options here, since those options operate on the component root node, which for some components is created in their override of _ComponentCreate.

Subclasses should override this method only if they have tasks that must happen after a superclass's implementation of this method, e.g. tasks that must happen after the context menu is set on the component.

Overrides of this method should call this._super first.

Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _AfterCreateEvent()

This method is called after the create event is fired. Components usually should not override this method, as it is rarely correct to wait until after the create event to perform a create-time task.

An example of a correct usage of this method is Dialog's auto-open behavior, which needs to happen after the create event.

Only behaviors (like Dialog auto-open behavior) should occur in this method. Component initialization must occur earlier, before the create event is fired, so that create listeners see a fully inited component.

Overrides of this method should call this._super first.

Do not confuse this method with the _AfterCreate method, which is more commonly used.

Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _CompareOptionValues(option, value1, value2) → {boolean}

Compares 2 option values for equality and returns true if they are equal; false otherwise.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
option String the name of the option
value1 Object first value
value2 Object another value
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
Type
boolean

<protected> _ComponentCreate()

All component create-time initialization lives in this method, except the logic that specifically needs to live in _InitOptions, _AfterCreate, or _AfterCreateEvent, per the documentation for those methods. All DOM creation must happen here, since the intent of _AfterCreate, which is called next, is to contain superclass logic that must run after that DOM is created.

Overrides of this method should call this._super first.

Summary of create-time methods that components can override, in the order that they are called:

  1. _InitOptions
  2. _ComponentCreate (this method)
  3. _AfterCreate
  4. (The create event is fired here.)
  5. _AfterCreateEvent

For all of these methods, the contract is that overrides must call this._super first, so e.g., the _ComponentCreate entry means baseComponent._ComponentCreate, then _ComponentCreate in any intermediate subclasses, then _ComponentCreate in the leaf subclass.

Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
Type
Array

<protected> _GetReadingDirection() → {string}

Determines whether the component is LTR or RTL.

Component responsibilities:

  • All components must determine directionality exclusively by calling this protected superclass method. (So that any future updates to the logic can be made in this one place.)
  • Components that need to know the directionality must call this method at create-time and from refresh(), and cache the value.
  • Components should not call this at other times, and should instead use the cached value. (This avoids constant DOM queries, and avoids any future issues with component reparenting (i.e. popups) if support for directional islands is added.)

App responsibilities:

  • The app specifies directionality by setting the HTML "dir" attribute on the <html> node. When omitted, the default is "ltr". (Per-component directionality / directional islands are not currently supported due to inadequate CSS support.)
  • As with any DOM change, the app must refresh() the component if the directionality changes dynamically. (This provides a hook for component housekeeping, and allows caching.)
Default Value:
  • "ltr"
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
the reading direction, either "ltr" or "rtl"
Type
string

<protected> _GetSavedAttributes(element) → {Object|null}

Gets the saved attributes for the provided element.

If you don't override _SaveAttributes and _RestoreAttributes, then this will return null.

If you override _SaveAttributes to call _SaveAllAttributes, then this will return all the attributes. If you override _SaveAttributes/_RestoreAttributes to do your own thing, then you may also have to override _GetSavedAttributes to return whatever you saved if you need access to the saved attributes.

Parameters:

Returns:
savedAttributes - attributes that were saved for this element in _SaveAttributes, or null if none were saved.

<protected> _HandleEvent(event)

Called by the component to process events. Subclasses should override to delegate DVT component events to their JQuery listeners.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
event Object
Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _init()

JET components should almost never implement this JQUI method. Please consult an architect if you believe you have an exception. Reasons:

  • This method is called at create time, after the create event is fired. It is rare for that to be the appropriate time to perform a create-time task. For those rare cases, we have the _AfterCreateEvent method, which is preferred over this method since it is called only at that time, not also at re-init time (see next).
  • This method is also called at "re-init" time, i.e. when the initializer is called after the component has already been created. JET has not yet identified any desired semantics for re-initing a component.
Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _InitOptions(originalDefaults, constructorOptions)

This method is called before _ComponentCreate, at which point the component has not yet been rendered. Component options should be initialized in this method, so that their final values are in place when _ComponentCreate is called.

This includes getting option values from the DOM, where applicable, and coercing option values (however derived) to their appropriate data type if needed.

No work other than setting options should be done in this method. In particular, nothing should be set on the DOM until _ComponentCreate, e.g. setting the disabled DOM attribute from the disabled option.

A given option (like disabled) appears in the constructorOptions param iff the app set it in the constructor:

  • If it appears in constructorOptions, it should win over what's in the DOM (e.g. disabled DOM attribute). If for some reason you need to tweak the value that the app set, then enable writeback when doing so: this.option('foo', bar, {'_context': {writeback: true, internalSet: true}}).
  • If it doesn't appear in constructorOptions, then that option definitely is not bound, so writeback is not needed. So if you need to set the option (e.g. from a DOM attribute), use this.option('foo', bar, {'_context': {internalSet: true}}).

Overrides of this method should call this._super first.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
originalDefaults Object original default options defined on the component and its ancestors
constructorOptions Object <nullable>
options passed into the widget constructor
Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _IsEffectivelyDisabled() → {boolean}

Determines whether this component is effectively disabled, i.e. it has its 'disabled' attribute set to true or it has been disabled by its ancestor component.

Inherited From:

Returns:
true if the component has been effectively disabled, false otherwise
Type
boolean

<protected> _LoadResources()

Called once during component creation to load resources.
Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _NotifyAttached()

Notifies the component that its subtree has been connected to the document programmatically after the component has been created.

Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _NotifyContextMenuGesture(menu, event, eventType)

When the contextMenu option is set, this method is called when the user invokes the context menu via the default gestures: right-click, Press & Hold, and Shift-F10. Components should not call this method directly.

The default implementation simply calls this._OpenContextMenu(event, eventType). Overrides of this method should call that same method, perhaps with additional params, not menu.open().

This method may be overridden by components needing to do things like the following:

  • Customize the launcher or position passed to _OpenContextMenu(). See that method for guidance on these customizations.
  • Customize the menu contents. E.g. some components need to enable/disable built-in commands like Cut and Paste, based on state at launch time.
  • Bail out in some cases. E.g. components with UX approval to use PressHoldRelease rather than Press & Hold can override this method to say if (eventType !== "touch") this._OpenContextMenu(event, eventType);. When those components detect the alternate context menu gesture (e.g. PressHoldRelease), that separate listener should call this._OpenContextMenu(), not this method (_NotifyContextMenuGesture()), and not menu.open().

Components needing to do per-launch setup like the above tasks should do so in an override of this method, not in a beforeOpen listener or an _OpenContextMenu() override. This is discussed more fully here.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
menu Object The JET Menu to open as a context menu. Always non-null.
event Event What triggered the menu launch. Always non-null.
eventType string "mouse", "touch", or "keyboard". Never null.
Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _NotifyDetached()

Notifies the component that its subtree has been removed from the document programmatically after the component has been created.

Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _NotifyHidden()

Notifies the component that its subtree has been made hidden programmatically after the component has been created.

Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _NotifyShown()

Notifies the component that its subtree has been made visible programmatically after the component has been created.

Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _OpenContextMenu(event, eventType, openOptions, submenuOpenOptions, shallow)

The only correct way for a component to open its context menu is by calling this method, not by calling Menu.open() or _NotifyContextMenuGesture(). This method should be called in two cases:

  • This method is called by _NotifyContextMenuGesture() and its overrides. That method is called when the baseComponent detects the default context menu gestures: right-click, Press & Hold, and Shift-F10.
  • Components with UX-approved support for alternate context menu gestures like PressHoldRelease should call this method directly when those gestures are detected.

Components needing to customize how the context menu is launched, or do any per-launch setup, should do so in the caller of this method, (which is one of the two callers listed above), often by customizing the params passed to this method (_OpenContextMenu) per the guidance below. This setup should not be done in the following ways:

  • Components should not perform setup in a beforeOpen listener, as this can cause a race condition where behavior depends on who got their listener registered first: the component or the app. The only correct component use of a beforeOpen listener is when there's a need to detect whether something else launched the menu.
  • Components should not override this method (_OpenContextMenu), as this method is final. Instead, customize the params that are passed to it.

Depending on individual component needs, any focusable element within the component can be the appropriate launcher for this launch.

Browser focus returns to the launcher on menu dismissal, so the launcher must at least be focusable. Typically a tabbable (not just focusable) element is safer, since it just focuses something the user could have focused on their own.

By default (i.e. if openOptions is not passed, or if it lacks a launcher field), the component init node is used as the launcher for this launch. If that is not focusable or is suboptimal for a given component, that component should pass something else. E.g. components with a "roving tabstop" (like Toolbar) should typically choose the current tabstop as their launcher.

The :focusable and :tabbable selectors may come in handy for choosing a launcher, e.g. something like this.widget().find(".my-class:tabbable").first().

Position:

By default, this method applies positioning that differs from Menu's default in the following ways: (The specific settings are subject to change.)

  • For mouse and touch events, the menu is positioned relative to the event, not the launcher.
  • For touch events, "my" is set to "start>40 center", to avoid having the context menu obscured by the user's finger.

Usually, if position needs to be customized at all, the only thing that needs changing is its "of" field, and only for keyboard launches (since mouse/touch launches should almost certainly keep the default "event" positioning). This situation arises anytime the element relative to which the menu should be positioned for keyboard launches is different than the launcher element (the element to which focus should be returned upon dismissal). For this case, { "position": {"of": eventType==="keyboard" ? someElement : "event"} } can be passed as the openOptions param.

Be careful not to clobber useful defaults by specifying too much. E.g. if you only want to customize "of", don't pass other fields like "my", since your value will be used for all modalities (mouse, touch, keyboard), replacing the modality-specific defaults that are usually correct. Likewise, don't forget the eventType==="keyboard" check if you only want to customize "of" for keyboard launches.

InitialFocus:

This method forces initialFocus to "menu" for this launch, so the caller needn't specify it.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
event Event What triggered the context menu launch. Must be non-null.
eventType string "mouse", "touch", or "keyboard". Must be non-null. Passed explicitly since caller knows what it's listening for, and since events like contextmenu and click can be generated by various input modalities, making it potentially error-prone for this method to determine how they were generated.
openOptions Object <optional>
Options to merge with this method's defaults, which are discussed above. The result will be passed to Menu.open(). May be null or omitted. See also the shallow param.
submenuOpenOptions Object <optional>
Options to be passed through to Menu.open(). May be null or omitted.
shallow boolean <optional>
Whether to perform a deep or shallow merge of openOptions with this method's default value. The default and most commonly correct / useful value is false.
  • If true, a shallow merge is performed, meaning that the caller's position object, if passed, will completely replace this method's default position object.
  • If false or omitted, a deep merge is performed. For example, if the caller wishes to tweak position.of while keeping this method's defaults for position.my, position.at, etc., it can pass {"of": anOfValue} as the position value.

The shallow param is n/a for submenuOpenOptions, since this method doesn't apply any defaults to that. (It's a direct pass-through.)

<protected> _RestoreAllAttributes()

Restores all the element's attributes which were saved in _SaveAllAttributes. This method is final in JET.

If a subclass wants to save/restore all attributes on create/destroy, then the subclass can override _SaveAttributes and call _SaveAllAttributes and also override _RestoreAttributes and call _RestoreAllAttributes.

Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _RestoreAttributes()

Restore the attributes saved in _SaveAttributes.

_SaveAttributes is called during _create. And _RestoreAttributes is called during _destroy.

This base class default implementation does nothing.

We also have _SaveAllAttributes and _RestoreAllAttributes methods that save and restore all the attributes on an element. Component subclasses can opt into these _SaveAllAttributes/_RestoreAllAttributes implementations by overriding _SaveAttributes and _RestoreAttributes to call _SaveAllAttributes/_RestoreAllAttributes. If the subclass wants a different implementation (like save only the 'class' attribute), it can provide the implementation itself in _SaveAttributes/_GetSavedAttributes/_RestoreAttributes.

Inherited From:
Source:

<protected> _SaveAllAttributes(element)

Saves all the element's attributes within an internal variable. _RestoreAllAttributes will restore the attributes from this internal variable.

This method is final in JET. Subclasses can override _RestoreAttributes and call _RestoreAllAttributes.

The JSON variable will be held as:

[
  {
  "element" : element[i],
  "attributes" :
    {
      attributes[m]["name"] : {"attr": attributes[m]["value"], "prop": $(element[i]).prop(attributes[m]["name"])
    }
  }
]
Parameters:
Name Type Description
element Object jQuery selection to save attributes for
