BCD-UI

Class: StaticModel

bcdui.core. StaticModel

Creates a model from fixed data without accessing the network.

As opposed to most DataProviders, execute() of a StaticModel is guaranteed to be synchronous except when using model updaters. Note that this implies that it is only static once the page is fully loaded bcdui.core.ready()
  1. execute() is called after bcdui.core.ready() was reached, because otherwise model updaters may still register themselves
  2. at the time of .execute() no model updaters were registered for this model, because model updaters operate asynchronously

new bcdui.core.StaticModel(args)

core/staticModel.js, line 33
Create a StaticModel and provide the data.
Name Type Description
args string | StaticModelParam | DomDocument And XML string, which is parsed, an XML Document or a JSON object or any other kind of data
Examples
// Provide data as a DataProvider
var myModel = new bcdui.core.StaticModel( "" );
myModel.execute();
var myAttr = myModel.getData().selectSingleNode("/Root/@myAttr").nodeValue;
// Provide data as a DataProvider with an id or use in a declarative context
var myModel = new bcdui.core.StaticModel({ id: "dayModel", data: " Mon Wed " });
myModel.execute();
bcdui.widgetNg.createSingleSelect({ targetHtml: "selectDayHtml", optionsModelXPath: "$dayModel/Values/V", targetModelXPath: "$guiStatus/guiStatus:Status/guiStatus:SelectedDay/@value" });

Members

constantidstring

A globally unique id of the object. DataProviders do also register themselves at bcdui.factory.objectRegistry when an id is provided to the constructor. This id is only needed in declarative contexts, like jsp or, when a DataProvider is accessed in a xPath like . If not provided in the constructor, a random id starting with 'bcd' is set, but the object is not automatically registered.

constantinitializedStatus

constantsavedStatus

Example
if( model.getStatus() === model.savedStatus )
  ...

constantsaveFailedStatus

constanttransformedStatus

Methods

inherited addStatusListener(args)

Listen for any status to be reached. For use cases with the ready status (by far the most common), see onReady() and onceReady() convenience functions.
Name Type Description
args function | StatusListener | AddStatusListenerParam Either a function executed on all status transitions or a parameter map AddStatusListenerParam

inherited debugIsWaitingFor(){string}

core/dataProvider.js, line 358
Returns:
Type Description
string Human readable message, which DataProviders, this DataProvider depends on, are not currently in ready state

inherited debugStatus(){string}

core/dataProvider.js, line 371
Returns:
Type Description
string Human readable message about the current state state

inherited execute(doesRefresh)

core/abstractExecutable.js, line 532
Executes the process implemented by the concrete sub-class.
Name Type Default Description
doesRefresh boolean true optional Set this parameter to "false" if this method should do nothing when the object is already in the ready status. The default is "true" meaning that the process is re-started when it is currently ready.

inherited fetchData(){Promise}

core/dataProvider.js, line 727
asynchronously fetch data for this data provider.
Returns:
Type Description
Promise resolving once data has been loaded, first argument is this instance
Example
new bcdui.core.SimpleModel("data.xml").fetchData().then((dp)=>{ console.info(dp.getData()); })

inherited fire()

core/dataProvider.js, line 304
This informs modification listeners, registered via onChange(args), that a change set was completed and data is consistent again.
Example
// Use of data modification events
var model = new bcdui.core.StaticModel({ data: { value: 3 } });
model.execute();
model.onChange( function(m) {
  console.log(m.getData().value);
});
model.getData().value ++;
model.fire(); // console prints '4'

inherited write(xPath, fillParams, value, fire)

core/dataProvider.js, line 445
Set a value to on a certain xPath and create the xPath where necessary. This combines Element.evaluate() for a single node with creating the path where necessary. It will prefer extending an existing start-part over creating a second one. After the operation the xPath (with the optional value) is guaranteed to exist (pre-existing or created or extended) and the addressed node is returned.
Name Type Default Description
xPath string xPath pointing to the node which is set to the value value or plain xPath to be created if not there. It tries to reuse all matching parts that are already there. If you provide for example "/n:Root/n:MyElem/@attr2" and there is already "/n:Root/n:MyElem/@attr1", then "/n:Root/n:MyElem" will be "re-used" and get an additional attribute attr2. Many expressions are allowed, for example "/n:Root/n:MyElem[@attr1='attr1Value']/n:SubElem" is also ok. By nature, some xPath expressions are not allowed, for example using '//' or "/n:Root/n:MyElem/[@attr1 or @attr2]/n:SubElem" is obviously not unambiguous enough and will throw an error. This method is Wrs aware, use for example '/wrs:Wrs/wrs:Data/wrs:*[2]/wrs:C[3]' as xPath and it will turn wrs:R[wrs:C] into wrs:M[wrs:C and wrs:O], see Wrs format. (can include dot template placeholders which get filled with the given fillParams)
fillParams Object optional array or object holding the values for the dot placeholders in the xpath. Values with "'" get 'escaped' with a concat operation to avoid bad xpath expressions Example: bcdui.wkModels.guiStatus.write("/guiStatus:Status/guiStatus:ClientSettings/guiStatus:Test[@caption='{{=it[0]}}' and @caption2='{{=it[1]}}']", ["china's republic", "drag\"n drop"])
value string optional Optional value which should be written, for example to "/n:Root/n:MyElem/@attr" or with "/n:Root/n:MyElem" as the element's text content. If not provided, the xPath contains all values like in "/n:Root/n:MyElem[@attr='a' and @attr1='b']" or needs none like "/n:Root/n:MyElem"
fire boolean false optional If true a fire is triggered to inform data modification listeners
Returns:
The xPath's node or null if dataProvider isn't ready
