$changeset: pentaho.type.changes.Changeset

Gets the changeset of this instance in the ambient transaction, if any, or null.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/mixins/Container.js, line 203

Inherited From: pentaho.type.mixins.Container#$changeset

$hasChanges: boolean

Gets a value that indicates if this instance has any changes in the ambient transaction.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/mixins/Container.js, line 213

Inherited From: pentaho.type.mixins.Container#$hasChanges

$isValid: boolean

Determines if this value is a valid instance of its type.

This attribute calls validate and returns a boolean value indicating if it returned no errors.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/value.js, line 123

Inherited From: pentaho.type.Value#$isValid

$key: string

Gets the key of the complex value.

The key of a value identifies it among values of the same concrete type.

If two values have the same concrete type and their keys are equal, then it must also be the case that pentaho.type.Value.Type#areEqual returns true when given the two values. The opposite should be true as well. If two values of the same concrete type have distinct keys, then pentaho.type.Value.Type#areEqual should return false.

The default complex implementation returns the value of the $uid property.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/complex.js, line 195

Inherited From: pentaho.type.Complex#$key

$references: Array.<Object>

Gets the references to this container, or null, if none.

Note that the returned array may be empty.

Do NOT change the returned array or its elements in any way.

Methods Details

_configure(config)
 
Protected

Configures this value with a given non-nully configuration.

The default implementation does nothing.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/value.js, line 178

Inherited From: pentaho.type.Value#_configure

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
config : any

The configuration.
_createChangeset(transaction) : pentaho.type.changes.Changeset
 
Protected

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

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.

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.

When property is read-only.
toJSON() : UJsonValue

Creates a top-level JSON specification that describes this instance.

Attributes which do not have a JSON-compatible specification are omitted. Specifically, for inline types, attributes with a function value are not supported.

This method simply calls pentaho.type.Instance#toSpec with argument keyArgs.isJson as true and exists for seamless integration with JavaScript's JSON.stringify method.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/instance.js, line 210

Inherited From: pentaho.type.Instance#toJSON

Returns:
Name Description
UJsonValue

A JSON-compatible specification.

See also:  pentaho.type.Instance#toSpec

Implements:
toSpec(keyArgs) : pentaho.type.spec.UInstance

Creates a specification that describes this value.

If an ambient specification context, currently exists, it is used to manage the serialization process. Otherwise, one is created and set as current. Then, the actual work is delegated to pentaho.type.Instance#toSpecInContext.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/value.js, line 184

Inherited From: pentaho.type.Value#toSpec

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
keyArgs : Object
 
Optional

The keyword arguments object. Passed to every value and type serialized within this scope.

Please see the documentation of value subclasses for information on additional, supported keyword arguments.

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
isJson : boolean
 
Optional
 false

Generates a JSON-compatible specification. Attributes which do not have a JSON-compatible specification are omitted.
declaredType : pentaho.type.Type
 
Optional

The base type of this value's storage location. If the value does not have this exact type, its inline type property must be included in the specification. Otherwise, it can be omitted. When unspecified, the inline type property is only included if forceType is true.
forceType : boolean
 
Optional
 false

Forces inclusion of the inline type property, _, in the specification.
omitFormatted : boolean
 
Optional
 false

Omits the formatted value on Simple values' specifications.
preferPropertyArray : boolean
 
Optional
 false

Indicates that, if possible, array form is used for Complex values' specifications.

The array form of a complex value cannot be used when its type must be inlined.
includeDefaults : boolean
 
Optional
 false

When true, all of the properties of Complex values are serialized. When false, the default, only properties whose value is different from their default value are serialized.

Only applies to complex values that are serialized in object form. In array form, all of the properties of complex values are serialized independently of their value.
omitProps : Object
 
Optional

An object whose own property names with a truthy value are the names of the properties of the current complex type to omit from the serialization.

Only applies when a complex is output in object form. In array form, all properties are output whatever their value.

This argument only applies to complex values and is not passed through to the values of their properties.
Returns:
Name Description
pentaho.type.spec.UInstance

A specification of this value.
toSpecInContext(keyArgs) : any

Creates a specification that describes this instance.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/instance.js, line 190

Overrides: pentaho.type.Model#toSpecInContext

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
keyArgs : Object
 
Optional

The keyword arguments' object. Passed to every instance and type serialized within this scope.

Please see the documentation of subclasses for information on additional, supported keyword arguments.
Returns:
Name Description
any

A specification of this instance.

validate() : Array.<pentaho.type.ValidationError>

Determines if this value is a valid instance of its type.

The default implementation delegates to pentaho.type.Value.Type#_validate.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/value.js, line 137

Inherited From: pentaho.type.Value#validate

Returns:
Name Description
Array.<pentaho.type.ValidationError>

A non-empty array of errors or null.
