public class Checkbox
A Checkbox component is simply a <input type="checkbox">.
Component Parameters | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Name | Description | Type | Flags | Default | Default Prefix | Since |
clientId | The id used to generate a page-unique client-side identifier for the component. If a component renders multiple times, a suffix will be appended to the to id to ensure uniqueness. The uniqued value may be accessed via the clientId property. | String | prop: | literal | ||
disabled | If true, then the field will render out with a disabled attribute (to turn off client-side behavior). When the form is submitted, the bound value is evaluated again and, if true, the field's value is ignored (not even validated) and the component's events are not fired. | boolean | false | prop | ||
label | The user presentable label for the field. If not provided, a reasonable label is generated from the component's id, first by looking for a message key named "id-label" (substituting the component's actual id), then by converting the actual id to a presentable string (for example, "userId" to "User Id"). | String | literal | |||
value | The value to be read or updated. If not bound, the Checkbox will attempt to edit a property of its container whose name matches the component's id. | boolean | Required | prop |
In this example, a Checkbox will be used alone to manipulate a property of the page.
<html xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd"> <body> <h1>View Accounts</h1> <t:form> <t:checkbox t:id="showall" onclick="this.form.submit();"/> <t:label for="showall"/> </t:form> <t:grid t:id="accounts"/> </body> </html>
The Grid component will do most of the work in terms of displaying the account data.
Normally, we should bind the value parameter explicitly; here the component's id, "showAll", matches against a property of the page and the value parameter is automatically bound as a convenience.
A small amount of JavaScript is provided in-line to submit the form when the checkbox is clicked.
All Tapestry form control element components must be enclosed by a Form component.
The Label component is responsible for rendering a
public class ViewAccount { @Property @Persist private boolean showAll; @Inject private AccountDAO accountDAO; public List<Account> getAccounts() { return showAll ? accountDAO.getAllAccounts() : accountDAO.getActiveAccounts(); } }
The component updates the showAll field, and that's used to determine which set of accounts should be provided to the Grid component. As always in Tapestry, you must be careful to mark fields persistent if they need to hold their value between the action request (the form submission) and the render request.
