    t5/core/dom

    This is the abstraction layer that allows the majority of components to operate without caring whether the underlying infrastructure framework is Prototype, jQuery, or something else.

    The abstraction layer has a number of disadvantages:

    • It adds a number of layers of wrapper around the infrastructure framework objects
    • It is leaky; some behaviors will vary slightly based on the active infrastructure framework
    • The abstraction is alien to both Prototype and jQuery developers; it mixes some ideas from both
    • It is much less powerful or expressive than either infrastructure framework used directly

    It is quite concievable that some components will require direct access to the infrastructure framework, especially those that are wrappers around third party libraries or plugins; however many simple components may need no more than the abstract layer and gain the valuable benefit of not caring about the infrastructure framework.

    define ["underscore", "./utils", "./events", "jquery"],

    Save a local reference to Prototype.$ … see notes about some challenges using Prototype, jQuery, and RequireJS together, here: https://github.com/jrburke/requirejs/issues/534

      $ = window.$
  • ¶

    Fires a native event; something that Prototype does not normally do. Returns true if the event completed normally, false if it was canceled.

      fireNativeEvent = (element, eventName) ->
        if document.createEventObject
  • ¶

    IE support:

          event = document.createEventObject()
          return element.fireEvent "on#{eventName}", event
  • ¶

    Everyone else:

        event = document.createEvent "HTMLEvents"
        event.initEvent eventName, true, true
        element.dispatchEvent event
        return not event.defaultPrevented
  • ¶

    converts a selector to an array of DOM elements

      parseSelectorToElements = (selector) ->
        if _.isString selector
          return $$ selector
  • ¶

    Array is assumed to be array of DOM elements

        if _.isArray selector
          return selector
  • ¶

    Assume its a single DOM element

        [selector]
  • ¶

    Converts content (provided to ElementWrapper.update() or append()) into an appropriate type. This primarily exists to validate the value, and to “unpack” an ElementWrapper into a DOM element.

      convertContent = (content) ->
        if _.isString content
          return content
    
        if _.isElement content
          return content
    
        if content instanceof ElementWrapper
          return content.element
    
        throw new Error "Provided value <#{content}> is not valid as DOM element content."
  • ¶

    Generic view of an DOM event that is passed to a handler function.

    Properties:

    • nativeEvent - the native Event object, which may provide additional information.
    • memo - the object passed to ElementWrapper.trigger().
    • type - the name of the event that was triggered.
    • char - the character value of the pressed key, if a printable character, as a string.
    • key -The key value of the pressed key. This is the same as the char property for printable keys, or a key name for others.
      class EventWrapper
    
        constructor: (event) ->
          @nativeEvent = event
          @memo = event.memo
  • ¶

    This is to satisfy YUICompressor which doesn’t seem to like ‘char’, even though it doesn’t appear to be a reserved word.

          this[name] = event[name] for name in ["type", "char", "key"]
  • ¶

    Stops the event which prevents further propagation of the DOM event, as well as DOM event bubbling.

        stop: ->
  • ¶

    There’s no equivalent to stopImmediatePropagation() unfortunately.

          @nativeEvent.stop()
  • ¶

    Interface between the dom’s event model, and Prototype’s.

    • elements - array of DOM elements (or the document object)
    • eventNames - array of event names
    • match - selector to match bubbled elements, or null
    • handler - event handler function to invoke; it will be passed an EventWrapper instance as the first parameter, and the memo as the second parameter. this will be the ElementWrapper for the matched element.

    Event handlers may return false to stop event propagation; this prevents an event from bubbling up, and prevents any browser default behavior from triggering. This is often easier than accepting the EventWrapper object as the first parameter and invoking stop().

    Returns a function of no parameters that removes any added handlers.

    
      onevent = (elements, eventNames, match, handler) ->
          throw new Error "No event handler was provided." unless handler?
    
          wrapped = (prototypeEvent) ->
  • ¶

    Set this to be the matched ElementWrapper, rather than the element on which the event is observed (which is often further up the hierarchy).

            elementWrapper = new ElementWrapper prototypeEvent.findElement()
            eventWrapper = new EventWrapper prototypeEvent
  • ¶

    Because there’s no stopImmediatePropogation() as with jQuery, we detect if the event was stopped and simply stop calling the handler.

            result = if prototypeEvent.stopped
                      false
                    else handler.call elementWrapper, eventWrapper, eventWrapper.memo
  • ¶

    If an event handler returns exactly false, then stop the event.

            if result is false
              prototypeEvent.stop()
    
            return
    
          eventHandlers = []
    
          for element in elements
            for eventName in eventNames
              eventHandlers.push (Event.on element, eventName, match, wrapped)
  • ¶

    Return a function to remove the handler(s)

          ->
            for eventHandler in eventHandlers
              eventHandler.stop()
  • ¶

    Wraps a DOM element, providing some common behaviors. Exposes the DOM element as property element.

      class ElementWrapper
    
        constructor: (@element) ->
  • ¶

    Some coders would use some JavaScript cleverness to automate more of the mapping from the ElementWrapper API to the jQuery API, but that eliminates a chance to write some very necessary documentation.

        toString: ->
          markup = @element.outerHTML
    
          "ElementWrapper[#{markup.substring 0, (markup.indexOf ">") + 1}]"
  • ¶

    Hides the wrapped element, setting its display to ‘none’.

        hide: ->
          @element.hide()
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Displays the wrapped element if hidden.

        show: ->
          @element.show()
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Gets or sets a CSS property. jQuery provides a lot of mapping of names to canonical names.

        css: (name, value) ->
    
          if arguments.length is 1
            return @element.getStyle name
    
          @element.setStyle name: value
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Returns the offset of the object relative to the document. The returned object has keys top‘ and left‘.

        offset: ->
          @element.viewportOffset()
  • ¶

    Removes the wrapped element from the DOM. It can later be re-attached.

        remove: ->
          @element.remove()
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Reads or updates an attribute. With one argument, returns the current value of the attribute. With two arguments, updates the attribute’s value, and returns the previous value. Setting an attribute to null is the same as removing it.

    Alternately, the first attribute can be an object in which case all the keys and values of the object are applied as attributes, and this ElementWrapper is returned.

    • name - the attribute to read or update, or an object of keys and values
    • value - (optional) the new value for the attribute
        attr: (name, value) ->
    
          if _.isObject name
            for attributeName, value of name
              @attr attributeName, value
    
            return this
    
          current = @element.readAttribute name
          if arguments.length > 1
  • ¶

    Treat undefined and null the same; Prototype does something slightly odd, treating undefined as a special case where the attribute value matches the attribute name.

            @element.writeAttribute name, if value is undefined then null else value
    
          return current
  • ¶

    Moves the cursor to the field.

        focus: ->
          @element.focus()
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Returns true if the element has the indicated class name, false otherwise.

        hasClass: (name) ->
          @element.hasClassName name
  • ¶

    Removes the class name from the element.

        removeClass: (name) ->
          @element.removeClassName name
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Adds the class name to the element.

        addClass: (name) ->
          @element.addClassName name
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Updates this element with new content, replacing any old content. The new content may be HTML text, or a DOM element, or an ElementWrapper, or null (to remove the body of the element).

        update: (content) ->
          @element.update (content and convertContent content)
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Appends new content (Element, ElementWrapper, or HTML markup string) to the body of the element.

        append: (content) ->
          @element.insert bottom: (convertContent content)
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Prepends new content (Element, ElementWrapper, or HTML markup string) to the body of the element.

        prepend: (content) ->
          @element.insert top: (convertContent content)
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Inserts new content (Element, ElementWrapper, or HTML markup string) into the DOM immediately before this ElementWrapper’s element.

        insertBefore: (content) ->
          @element.insert before: (convertContent content)
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Inserts new content (Element, ElementWrapper, or HTML markup string) into the DOM immediately after this ElementWrapper’s element.

        insertAfter: (content) ->
          @element.insert after: (convertContent content)
    
          return this
  • ¶

    Finds the first child element that matches the CSS selector, wrapped as an ElementWrapper. Returns null if not found.

        findFirst: (selector) ->
          match = @element.down selector
  • ¶

    Prototype returns undefined if not found, we want to return null.

          if match
            new ElementWrapper match
          else
            return null
  • ¶

    Finds all child elements matching the CSS selector, returning them as an array of ElementWrappers.

        find: (selector) ->
          matches = @element.select selector
    
          new ElementWrapper(e) for e in matches
  • ¶

    Find the first container element that matches the selector (wrapped as an ElementWrapper), or returns null.

        findParent: (selector) ->
          parent = @element.up selector
    
          return null unless parent
    
          new ElementWrapper parent
  • ¶

    Returns this ElementWrapper if it matches the selector; otherwise, returns the first container element (as an ElementWrapper) that matches the selector. Returns null if no container element matches.

        closest: (selector) ->
          if @element.match selector
            return this
    
          return @findParent selector
  • ¶

    Returns an ElementWrapper for this element’s containing element. Returns null if this element has no parent (either because this element is the document object, or because this element is not yet attached to the DOM).

        parent: ->
          parent = @element.parentNode
    
          return null unless parent
          new ElementWrapper parent
  • ¶

    Returns an array of all the immediate child elements of this element, as ElementWrappers.

        children: ->
          new ElementWrapper(e) for e in @element.childElements()
  • ¶

    Returns true if this element is visible, false otherwise. This does not check to see if all containers of the element are visible.

        visible: ->
          @element.visible()
  • ¶

    Returns true if this element is visible, and all parent elements are also visible, up to the document body.

        deepVisible: ->
          element = this.element
          element.offsetWidth > 0 && element.offsetHeight > 0
  • ¶

    Fires a named event, passing an optional memo object to event handler functions. This must support common native events (exact list TBD), as well as custom events (in Prototype, custom events must have a prefix that ends with a colon).

    • eventName - name of event to trigger on the wrapped Element
    • memo - optional value assocated with the event; available as WrappedeEvent.memo in event handler functions (must be null for native events). The memo, when provided, should be an object; it is an error if it is a string or other non-object type..

    Returns true if the event fully executed, or false if the event was canceled.

        trigger: (eventName, memo) ->
          throw new Error "Attempt to trigger event with null event name" unless eventName?
    
          unless (_.isNull memo) or (_.isObject memo) or (_.isUndefined memo)
            throw new Error "Event memo may be null or an object, but not a simple type."
    
          if (eventName.indexOf ':') > 0
  • ¶

    Custom event is supported directly by Prototype:

            event = @element.fire eventName, memo
            return not event.defaultPrevented
  • ¶

    Native events take some extra work:

          if memo
            throw new Error "Memo must be null when triggering a native event"
  • ¶

    Hacky solution for TAP5-2602 (5.4 LinkSubmit does not work with Prototype JS)

          unless Prototype.Browser.WebKit and eventName == 'submit' and @element instanceof HTMLFormElement
            fireNativeEvent @element, eventName
          else
            @element.requestSubmit()
  • ¶

    With no parameters, returns the current value of the element (which must be a form control element, such as <input> or <textarea>). With one parameter, updates the field’s value, and returns the previous value. The underlying foundation is responsible for mapping this correctly based on the type of control element. TODO: Define behavior for multi-named elements, such as <select>.

    • newValue - (optional) new value for field
        value: (newValue) ->
          current = @element.getValue()
    
          if arguments.length > 0
            @element.setValue newValue
          return current
  • ¶

    Returns true if element is a checkbox and is checked

        checked: ->
          @element.checked
  • ¶

    Stores or retrieves meta-data on the element. With one parameter, the current value for the name is returned (or undefined). With two parameters, the meta-data is updated and the previous value returned. For Prototype, the meta data is essentially empty (except, perhaps, for some internal keys used to store event handling information). For jQuery, the meta data may be initialized from data- attributes.

    • name - name of meta-data value to store or retrieve
    • value - (optional) new value for meta-data
        meta: (name, value) ->
          current = @element.retrieve name
    
          if arguments.length > 1
            @element.store name, value
          return current
  • ¶

    Adds an event handler for one or more events.

    • events - one or more event names, separated by spaces
    • match - optional: CSS expression used as a filter; only events that bubble up to the wrapped element from an originating element that matches the CSS expression will invoke the handler.
    • handler - function invoked; the function is passed an EventWrapper object, and the context (this) is the ElementWrapper for the matched element.

    Returns a function of no parameters that removes any added handlers.

        on: (events, match, handler) ->
          exports.on @element, events, match, handler
          return this
  • ¶

    Returns the text of the element (and its children).

        text: ->
          @element.textContent or @element.innerText
  • ¶

    Wrapper around the Prototype Ajax.Request object

      class RequestWrapper
    
        constructor: (@req) ->
  • ¶

    Abort a running ajax request

        abort: -> throw "Cannot abort Ajax request when using Prototype."
  • ¶

    Wrapper around the Prototype Ajax.Response object

      class ResponseWrapper
    
        constructor: (@res) ->
    
          @status = @res.status
          @statusText = @res.statusText
          @json = @res.responseJSON
          @text = @res.responseText
  • ¶

    Retrieves a response header by name

        header: (name) ->
          @res.getHeader name
  • ¶

    Used to track how many active Ajax requests are currently in-process. This is incremented when an Ajax request is started, and decremented when an Ajax request completes or fails. The body attribute data-ajax-active is set to the number of active Ajax requests, whenever the count changes. This only applies to Ajax requests that are filtered through the t5/core/dom API; other libraries (including RequireJS) which bypass this API are not counted.

      activeAjaxCount = 0
    
      adjustAjaxCount = (delta) ->
        activeAjaxCount += delta
    
        exports.body.attr "data-ajax-active", activeAjaxCount
  • ¶

    Performs an asynchronous Ajax request, invoking callbacks when it completes.

    This is very low level; most code will want to go through the t5/core/ajax module instead, which adds better handling of exceptions and failures, and handles Tapestry’s partial page render reponse keys.

    • options.method - “post”, “get”, etc., default: “post”.
    • options.contentType - request content, defaults to “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”
    • options.data - optional, additional key/value pairs (for the default content type)
    • options.success - handler to invoke on success. Passed the ResponseWrapper object. Default does nothing.
    • options.failure - handler to invoke on failure (server responds with a non-2xx code). Passed the response. Default will throw the exception
    • options.exception - handler to invoke when an exception occurs (often means the server is unavailable). Passed the exception. Default will generate an exception message and throw an Error. Note: not really supported under jQuery, a hold-over from Prototype. Returns the module’s exports
      ajaxRequest = (url, options = {}) ->
        finalOptions =
          method: options.method or "post"
          contentType: options.contentType or "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
          parameters: options.data
          onException: (ajaxRequest, exception) ->
    
            adjustAjaxCount -1
    
            if options.exception
              options.exception exception
            else
              throw exception
    
            return
    
          onFailure: (response) ->
            adjustAjaxCount -1
    
            message = "Request to #{url} failed with status #{response.getStatus()}"
            text = response.getStatusText()
            if not _.isEmpty text
              message += " -- #{text}"
            message += "."
    
            if options.failure
              options.failure (new ResponseWrapper response), message
            else
              throw new Error message
    
            return
    
          onSuccess: (response) ->
    
            adjustAjaxCount -1
  • ¶

    Prototype treats status == 0 as success, even though it may indicate that the server didn’t respond.

            if (not response.getStatus()) or (not response.request.success())
              finalOptions.onFailure(new ResponseWrapper response)
              return
  • ¶

    Tapestry 5.3 includes lots more exception catching … that just got in the way of identifying the source of problems. That’s been stripped out.

            options.success and options.success(new ResponseWrapper response)
            return
    
        adjustAjaxCount +1
    
        new RequestWrapper (new Ajax.Request url, finalOptions)
    
      scanners = null
  • ¶

    Sets up a scanner callback; this is used to perfom one-time setup of elements that match a particular CSS selector. The callback is passed each element that matches the selector. The callback is expected to modify the element so that it does not match future selections caused by zone updates, typically by removing the CSS class or data- attribute referenced by the selector.

      scanner = (selector, callback) ->
  • ¶

    Define a function that scans some root element (the body initially; later an updated Zone)

        scan = (root) ->
          callback el for el in root.find selector
          return
  • ¶

    Do it once immediately:

        scan exports.body
  • ¶

    Lazily set up a single event handler for running any added scanners.

        if scanners is null
          scanners = []
          exports.body.on events.initializeComponents, ->
            f this for f in scanners
            return
    
        scanners.push scan
    
        return
  • ¶

    The main export is a function that wraps a DOM element as an ElementWrapper; additional functions are attached as properties.

    • element - a DOM element, or a string id of a DOM element

    Returns the ElementWrapper, or null if no element with the id exists

      exports = wrapElement = (element) ->
        if _.isString element
          element = $ element
          return null unless element
        else
          throw new Error "Attempt to wrap a null DOM element" unless element
  • ¶

    Assume the object is a DOM element, document or window; something that is compatible with the Prototype API (especially with respect to events).

        new ElementWrapper element
  • ¶

    Creates a new element, detached from the DOM.

    • elementName - (string) name of element to create, if ommitted, then “div”
    • attributes - (object) attributes to apply to the created element (may be omitted)
    • body - (string) content for the new element, may be omitted for no body
      createElement = (elementName, attributes, body) ->
    
        if _.isObject elementName
          body = attributes
          attributes = elementName

    Returns the value of a given data attribute as an object. The “data-“ prefix is added automatically. element - (object) HTML dom element attribute - (string) name of the data attribute without the “data-“ prefix.

      getDataAttributeAsObject = (element, attribute) ->
    
        value = $(element).readAttribute('data-' + attribute)
        if value isnt null
          value = JSON.parse(value)
        else
          value = {}
  • ¶

    Returns the URL of a component event based on its name and an optional element or null if the event information is not found. When the element isn’t passed or it’s null, the event data is taken from the element.

    • eventName - (string) name of the component event
    • element - (object) HTML DOM element to be used as the beginning of the event data search. Optional.
      getEventUrl = (eventName, element) ->
    
        if not (eventName?)
          throw 'dom.getEventUrl: the eventName parameter cannot be null'
    
        if not _.isString eventName
          throw 'dom.getEventUrl: the eventName parameter should be a string'
    
        eventName = eventName.toLowerCase()
    
        if element is null
          element = document.body
        else if element instanceof ElementWrapper
          element = element.element;
        else if element.jquery?
          element = element[0];

    Look for event data in itself first, then in the preceding siblings if not found

        url = null
    
        while not url? and element.previousElementSibling?
          data = getDataAttributeAsObject(element, 'component-events')
          url = data?[eventName]?.url
          element = element.previousElementSibling
    
        if not url?
  • ¶

    Look at parent elements recursively

          while not url? and element.parentElement?
            data = getDataAttributeAsObject(element, 'component-events')
            url = data?[eventName]?.url
            element = element.parentElement;
        
        return url;
    
      _.extend exports,
      
        getEventUrl: getEventUrl
        
        wrap: wrapElement
    
        create: createElement
    
        ajaxRequest: ajaxRequest
  • ¶

    Used to add an event handler to an element (possibly from elements below it in the hierarchy).

    • selector - CSS selector used to select elements to attach handler to; alternately, a single DOM element, or an array of DOM elements. The document is considered an element for these purposes.
    • events - one or more event names, separated by spaces
    • match - optional: CSS expression used as a filter; only events that bubble
    • up to a selected element from an originating element that matches the CSS expression will invoke the handler.
    • handler - function invoked; the function is passed an EventWrapper object, and the context (this) is the ElementWrapper for the matched element

    Returns a function of no parameters that removes any added handlers.

        on: (selector, events, match, handler) ->
          unless handler?
            handler = match
            match = null
    
          elements = parseSelectorToElements selector
          events = utils.split events
          onevent elements, events, match, handler
  • ¶

    onDocument() is used to add an event handler to the document object; this is used for global (or default) handlers. Returns a function of no parameters that removes any added handlers.

        onDocument: (events, match, handler) ->
          exports.on document, events, match, handler
  • ¶

    Returns a wrapped version of the document.body element. Because all Tapestry JavaScript occurs inside a block at the end of the document, inside the <body> element, it is assumed that it is always safe to get the body.

        body: wrapElement document.body
    
        scanner: scanner
    
      return exports
