Methods Details

_createChangeset(transaction) : pentaho.type.changes.Changeset
 
Abstract
 
Protected

Creates a changeset with this container as owner and returns it.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/mixins/Container.js, line 238

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
transaction : pentaho.type.changes.Transaction

The transaction that owns this changeset.
Returns:
Name Description
pentaho.type.changes.Changeset

A changeset of the appropriate type.
_emit(event) : pentaho.lang.Event
 
Protected

Emits an unstructured event and returns it, unless it was canceled.

When this method is called, the listeners of existing registrations are notified synchronously, by priority order and then registration order, until either the event is canceled or all of the listeners have been notified.

It is safe to register or unregister to/from an event type while it is being emitted. However, changes are only taken into account in subsequent emissions.

If a listener function throws an error, the event processing is interrupted. No more registrations are processed and the error is passed to the caller.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/lang/EventSource.js, line 261

Inherited From: pentaho.lang.EventSource#_emit

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
event : pentaho.lang.Event

The event object.
Returns:
Name Description
pentaho.lang.Event | null

The given event object or null, when canceled.

_emitGeneric(event, type, phase, keyArgs) : object
 
Protected

Emits an event given an arbitrary payload object, its type and phase. Returns the event payload object, unless the event is canceled.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/lang/EventSource.js, line 313

Inherited From: pentaho.lang.EventSource#_emitGeneric

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
event : object

The event object.
type : nonEmptyString

The type of the event.
phase : nonEmptyString
 
Optional

The phase of the event. For unstructured events don't specify this argument (or specify a Nully value).
keyArgs : Object
 
Optional

The keyword arguments' object.

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
isCanceled : function
 
Optional

A predicate that indicates if a given event object is in a canceled state.
errorHandler : function
 
Optional

When specified with a null value, no error handling is performed and errors thrown by listeners are thrown back to this method's caller. When unspecified or specified as undefined, defaults to a function that simply log the listener errors, and let execution continue to following listeners. The function arguments are: the error, the event, the event type and the event phase.
Returns:
Name Description
object | null

The event payload object or null, when the event is canceled.
_emitSafe(event) : pentaho.lang.Event
 
Protected

Variation of the _emit method in which errors thrown by event listeners are caught and logged.

If an event listener throws an error, the following event listeners are still processed.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/lang/EventSource.js, line 283

Inherited From: pentaho.lang.EventSource#_emitSafe

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
event : pentaho.lang.Event

The event object.

_hasListeners(type, phase) : boolean
 
Protected

Determines if there are any registrations for a given event type and phase.

This method can be used to avoid creating expensive event objects for event type and phase pairs that don't have registrations.

Optional

The phase of a structured event. For unstructured events don't specify this argument.
Returns:
Name Description
boolean

true if the event has any listeners for the given event type and phase; false, otherwise.

Example

if(this._hasListeners("select", "will")) {

 var event = new Event("select", this);

 if(this._emit(event)) {
 // Select Will phase
 }
}
_hasObservers(type) : boolean
 
Protected

Determines if there are any registrations for a given event type, for at least one of its phases.

This method can be used to avoid creating expensive event objects for event types that currently have no registrations.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/lang/EventSource.js, line 232

Inherited From: pentaho.lang.EventSource#_hasObservers

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
type : nonEmptyString

The type of the event.

 // Select Will

 this._emitGeneric(event, "select", "did");
 }
}

This object.
Implements:
off(typeOrHandle, observer)

Removes one registration given its handle, or all registrations of a given event type (or types) and observer (or listener function).

To remove an event registration, it is sufficient to call the dispose method of the registration handle returned by on, upon registration. Alternatively, as a convenience syntax, the registration handle can be passed as the single argument to this method.

It is safe to unregister from an event type while it is being emitted. However, any registrations removed during the current emission will still execute.

Specifying an event registration handle that has already been disposed of has no effect. Specifying an event type and observer (or listener function) that have no registrations has no effect.

Source: doc-js/pentaho/lang/IEventSource.jsdoc, line 131

Inherited From: pentaho.lang.EventSource#off

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
typeOrHandle : nonEmptyString | Array.<nonEmptyString> | pentaho.lang.IEventRegistrationHandle

The type or types of events, or an event registration handle to dispose of. When a string, it can be a comma-separated list of event types.
observer : pentaho.lang.IEventObserver | pentaho.lang.EventListener | pentaho.lang.EventListenerAsync

The event observer (or listener function). Required when typeOrHandle is not an event registration handle; ignored, otherwise.

See also:  pentaho.lang.IEventSource#on

Implements:
on(type, observer, keyArgs) : pentaho.lang.IEventRegistrationHandle

Registers an observer (or listener function) for an event(s) of a given type(s).

Optionally, a listening priority may be specified to adjust the order by which an observer is notified, relative to other listeners.

Note that if an observer is registered more than once to the same event type, a new registration is created each time and its listeners will be called once per registration.

It is safe to register for an event type while it is being emitted. However, new registrations are only taken into account in subsequent emissions.

When type represents multiple event types, the returned event registration handle is a composite registration for all of the event types.

This method is compatible with the dojo/on API.

Source: doc-js/pentaho/lang/IEventSource.jsdoc, line 90

Inherited From: pentaho.lang.EventSource#on

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
type : nonEmptyString | Array.<nonEmptyString>

The type or types of events. When a string, it can be a comma-separated list of event types.
observer : pentaho.lang.IEventObserver | pentaho.lang.EventListener | pentaho.lang.EventListenerAsync

The event observer (or listener function).
keyArgs : object
 
Optional

Keyword arguments.

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
priority : number
 
Optional
 0

The listening priority. Higher priority observers are notified of an event before any lower priority observers. The priority can be set to -Infinity or Infinity. In case two observers are assigned the same priority, the registration order determines which is notified first.
Returns:
Name Description
pentaho.lang.IEventRegistrationHandle

An event registration handle that can be used for later removal.
