Interface JavaScriptSupport

All Known Implementing Classes:
JavaScriptSupportImpl

public interface JavaScriptSupport

An environmental that acts as a replacement for the RenderSupport environmental, renaming and streamlining the key methods. JavaScriptSupport is very stateful, accumulating JavaScript stacks, libraries and initialization code until the end of the main page render; it then updates the rendered DOM (adding <script> tags to the <head> and <body>) before the document is streamed to the client.

JavaScriptSupport is normally accessed within a component by using the Environmental annotation on a component field. In addition, JavaScriptSupport may also be accessed as a service (the service internally delegates to the current environmental instance), which is useful for service-layer objects.

The term "import" is used on many methods to indicate that the indicated resource (stack, library or stylesheet) will only be added to the final Document once.

The name is slightly a misnomer, since there's a side-line of importStylesheet(StylesheetLink) as well.

JavaScriptSupport works equally well inside an Ajax request that produces a JSON-formatted partial page update response.

5.2.0

Method Detail

allocateClientId

String allocateClientId(String id)
Allocates a unique id based on the component's id. In some cases, the return value will not precisely match the input value (an underscore and a unique index value may be appended).

Parameters:
id - the component id from which a unique id will be generated
Returns:
a unique id for this rendering of the page
See Also:
IdAllocator

allocateClientId

String allocateClientId(ComponentResources resources)
As with allocateClientId(String) but uses the id of the component extracted from the resources.

Parameters:
resources - of the component which requires an id
Returns:
a unique id for this rendering of the page

addScript

Parameters:
format - format string (as per String.format(String, Object...)
arguments - arguments referenced by format specifiers

addScript

void addScript(InitializationPriority priority,
               String format,
               Object... arguments)
Adds initialization script at the specified priority.

Parameters:
priority - priority to use when adding the script
format - format string (as per String.format(String, Object...)
arguments - arguments referenced by format specifiers

addInitializerCall

void addInitializerCall(String functionName,
                        JSONObject parameter)
Adds a call to a client-side function inside the Tapestry.Initializer namespace. Calls to this method are aggregated into a call to the Tapestry.init() function. Initialization occurs at InitializationPriority.NORMAL priority.

Parameters:
functionName - name of client-side function (within Tapestry.Initializer namespace) to execute
parameter - object to pass to the client-side function

addInitializerCall

void addInitializerCall(String functionName,
                        JSONArray parameter)
Adds a call to a client-side function inside the Tapestry.Initializer namespace. Calls to this method are aggregated into a call to the Tapestry.init() function. Initialization occurs at InitializationPriority.NORMAL priority.

Parameters:
functionName - name of client-side function (within Tapestry.Initializer namespace) to execute
parameter - array of parameters to pass to the client-side function
Since:
5.3

importJavaScriptLibrary

void importJavaScriptLibrary(Asset asset)
Imports a JavaScript library as part of the rendered page. Libraries are added in the order they are first imported; duplicate imports are ignored.

Import

importStylesheet

void importStylesheet(Asset stylesheet)
A convenience method that wraps the Asset as a StylesheetLink.

Parameters:
stylesheet - asset for the stylesheet
See Also:
importStylesheet(StylesheetLink)

importStylesheet

When JavaScript aggregation in enabled, the stack will be represented by a single virtual URL; otherwise the individual asset URLs of the stack will be added to the document.

Parameters:
stackName - the name of the stack (case is ignored); the stack must exist

importJavaScriptLibrary

void importJavaScriptLibrary(String libraryURL)
Import a Javascript library with an arbitrary URL.


autofocus

void autofocus(FieldFocusPriority priority,
               String fieldId)
Invoked to set focus on a rendered field. Takes into account priority, meaning that a field with errors will take precedence over a merely required field, and over a field that is optional. The value FieldFocusPriority.OVERRIDE can be used to force a particular field to receive focus.

Parameters:
priority - focus is set only if the provided priority is greater than the current priority
fieldId - id of client-side element to take focus
