Constructor Details

new List(instSpec, keyArgs)

Creates a list instance.

When a derived class overrides the constructor and creates additional instance properties, the pentaho.type.List#_initClone method should also be overridden to copy those properties.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/List.js, line 82

Name Default Value Summary
instSpec : pentaho.type.spec.List | pentaho.type.List | Array.<pentaho.type.Element>
Optional

The list specification or a compatible list instance or element's array.
keyArgs : object
Optional

The keyword arguments.

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
isBoundary : boolean
Optional
 false

Indicates if the list should be a boundary list.
isReadOnly : boolean
Optional
 false

Indicates if the list should be a read-only list.
Throws:
Name Description
pentaho.lang.ArgumentInvalidTypeError

When the type of instSpec is not Object, Array or pentaho.type.List.

See also: pentaho.type.Element , pentaho.type.spec.IList , pentaho.type.spec.IListType

Members Details

$isBoundary: boolean

Gets a value that indicates if this list is a boundary list.

A boundary list isolates the list holder from the list's elements.

The validity of a boundary list is not affected by the validity of its elements. Changes within the elements of boundary list do not bubble to it.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/List.js, line 181

$isReadOnly: boolean

Gets a value that indicates if this list is read-only.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/List.js, line 149

$key: string

Gets the key of the list value.

The default list implementation, returns the value of the list instance's pentaho.type.List#$uid.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/List.js, line 232

count: number

Gets the number of elements in the list.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/List.js, line 242

Methods Details

_configure(config)
Protected

Configures this list with a given distinct and non-Nully configuration.

This method can only be called when there is an ambient transaction.

The argument config accepts the same types of values given which a List instance can be constructed from.

An additional configuration input format is supported, the key map configuration format, in which config.d is a map from element keys to element configurations, instead of, an array of element specifications. In this case, each targeted element is individually configured with the corresponding element configuration by using its configureOrCreate method. If the latter returns a distinct element, then the original element is replaced in the list.

With all of the other configuration formats, a list of element specifications is obtained and passed to the set method.

Source: javascript/web/pentaho/type/List.js, line 564

Parameters:
Name Default Value Summary
config : pentaho.type.spec.List | pentaho.type.List | Array.<pentaho.type.Element>

The list specification or a compatible list instance or element's array.
Throws:
Name Description
pentaho.lang.ArgumentInvalidTypeError

When the type of config is not Object, Array or pentaho.type.List.
TypeError

When the list would be changed and it is read-only.
pentaho.lang.ArgumentInvalidError

When config.d is an object that contains a key which is not the key of an element in the list.
