dataprovider
dataprovider

Reference to a dataprovider, either a record or scope/form variable. Can be a complex definition if it needs to support onDataChange

Code Block
titleDefinition
{ 
    "type": "dataprovider",
    "pushToServer": "allow", // needed if you want this component
        // to be able to change the dataprovider's value on the server 
    "ondatachange": {
        "onchange": "onDataChangeMethodID", // the name of a handler
            // defined in spec
        "callback": "onDataChangeCallback" // the name of an API func
            // defined by the webcomponent that will get called when
            // data change is successful on server
    }
    "forFoundset" : "myFoundsetPropertyName" // optional; if specified
        // then on the client instead of one value you will get an
        // array of values one for each record in the viewport of given
        // foundset property (see also 'foundset' property type)
}

In order for dataprovider typed properties to 'push' their value changes to the server (so changes in the browser to end up in records or scope/form variables) you must either use autoApply or directly apply / startEdit. If you do not 'apply' (auto or manually) the change, the updates will not be sent to server.

Info
titleIMPORTANT

In order to be able to change server-side dataprovider values using apply or svy-autoapply, the .spec file must declare that dataprovider property from the model as pushToServer: allow or higher. Otherwise the server will reject the dataprovider value updates and log a change denied warning.

Simple example of read-only dataprovider:

Code Block
languagejs
title.spec
{
    "name": "my-component",
    "displayName": ...,
    (...)
    "model":
    {
            "myDataProvider" : "dataprovider",
            (...)
    }, 
    (...)
}
Code Block
languagexml
title.html
<span ng-bind-html='model.myDataProvider'/>

Simple example of read-write dataprovider (with auto-apply):

Code Block
languagejs
title.spec
{
    "name": "my-component",
    "displayName": ...,
    (...)
    "model":
    {
            "myDataProvider" : {
                   "type" : "dataprovider",
                   "pushToServer" : "allow"
            },
            (...)
    }, 
    (...)
}
Code Block
languagexml
title.html
<input (...) ng-model="model.myDataProvider" svy-autoapply />
dateDate value
dimension

Dimension representation

Code Block
titleExample
{
	width: 100, 
	height: 20
}
doubleA floating point number
floatA floating point number
fontCSS font string
formURL string pointing to a form (like tab in tabpanel)
format

Format string. Requires to be specified as object to specify which dataprovider/valuelist property to map this format property on. For property can also contain an array of properties (will be applied to first one which is defined).

Code Block
titleExample
{
	for: 'dataProviderID',
	type: 'format'
}
function

Callback function information that can be called on server from client.
A callback function set for this type of property will be represented in the component model as a pair of "formname" and "script" that can be used as parameters for "$window.executeInlineScript" to execute it.
Example:

in the component spec

Code Block
	"model": {
		"myFunction" : { "type": "function"}
	},

in the component js implementation

Code Block
$window.executeInlineScript($scope.model.myFunction.formname, $scope.model.myFunction.script, [arg1, arg2]); 

 

Note that the component need to have reference to the "$window" service, and the "formname" and ''script" values are already encrypted in the model, and you need to use those values, and not plain text values for formname and script. Arguments for the callback can be set using the last parameter of "$window.executeInlineScript"

intAn integer number
insets

Padding insets representation

Code Block
titleExample
{
	paddingTop: 10px, 
	paddingLeft: 20px,
	paddingBottom : 10px,
	paddingRight: 10px
}
labelforType for labelfor property of the label.
longA number, size is twice an integer
mediaReference to a Media entry. Media can be specified in different ways (plain bytes, media url, media id).
relationReference to a Relation
runtimecomponentThe type of component (so that components can be passed as parameters)
protected

boolean security property, can be used to protect the entire component or specific properties or handlers in the component.

Configuration:

settingdescriptionexample
for

list of properties to protect,

when not specified the entire component is protected

"for": ["streetname", "updateInfoFunc"]
blockingOnwhen the property is set to this value, protection is active, default: true"blockingOn": true
Code Block
languagejs
titleExample
 "enabled" : { "type": "protected", "blockingOn": false, "default": true }
point

Point representation

Code Block
titleExample
{
	x: 10, 
	y: 20
}
objectGeneric type. When using this type, you should pass primitive types or object of primitive types because conversions are not available for more complex types. You use the specific type whenever possible instead of this generic type. This relies on JSON to transfer, so for example Dates should be send as the number value (the times in milis) instead of trying to send the Date as a date object itself.
scrollbarsAn integer value which represents scrollbar definition. This type is used for designer to display special editor.
shortA number, 16 bit
stringPlain string property. I18n keys will be resolved by default.
styleclass

String with space separated CSS classnames.Possible values supported by the component can be specified as hint for the developer

Code Block
titleExample specifying special classnames supported by the component as hint for the developer
{
	type:'styleclass', 
	values:[
		'btn',
		'btn-default',
		'btn-lg',
		'btn-sm',
		'btn-xs'
	]
}
tabSeqTab sequence integer value. See sablo-tabseq
tagstring

String property that can contain %%tags%%, i18n keys or <html>. It can also be a simple static string.
Will be pre-processed before being provided to web component depending on configuration options below.

Examples:

Code Block
titleExample
Hello %%name%%, welcome to %%i18n:com.mycompany.mykey%% ...
    or
i18n:com.mycompany.mykey
    or
<html>...some html that can also contain JS callbacks and media...</html>
    or
just some static string

Here is how this type of property can be configured in the component's .spec file:

Code Block
titleDefinition
myTextProperty : {
	"type" : "tagstring",
	"displayTagsPropertyName" : "myDisplaysTagsProp", // default is null.
        // If specified then the property will initially read the
        // boolean value of the property with given name; If that
        // property is true, tags (%%x%%) will be replaced, otherwise
        // they will be ignored (in which case it will just replace i18n
        // and html); if null, tags will be replaced or not based on
        // config option "displayTags"
    "displayTags" : false, // default is true. If displayTagsPropertyName
        // is non-null it will be ignored. Otherwise, only if true this
        // property will parse tags (%%x%%)
    "useParsedValueInRhino" : true, // default is false. Server side
        // scripting read/modify will work with: if false the parsed
        // (with tags/i18n already replaced, so static) value, if true
        // the non-parsed (value containing %%x%% or i18n:..., which
        // will be after modify parsed) value
    "forFoundset" : "myFoundsetPropertyName" // optional; if specified
        // then on the client instead of one value you will get an array
        // of values one for each record in the viewport of given
        // foundset property (see also 'foundset' property type)
},
displaysTags : { "type" : "boolean", "scope" : "design" } // needed only
        // if "displayTagsPropertyName" is used as above

or simply (to use default config values):

Code Block
titleExample
myTextProperty: "tagstring"
valuelist

Reference to a ValueList

Configuration

settingdescriptionexample
maxAllows limiting the number of items the valuelist will send to the browser."max":500
visible

boolean security property, when set to false the component is protected from client data changes and function calls, data changes from the server are not sent to the client
