  • set enabled(value): void
  • Sets whether the Element or its parent chain is enabled or not. Defaults to true.

    Parameters

    • value: boolean

    Returns void

  • get hiddenToRoot(): boolean
  • Gets whether the Element is hidden all the way up to the root. If the Element itself or any of its parents are hidden then this is true.

    Returns boolean

  • get ignoreParent(): boolean
  • Gets whether the Element will ignore parent events & variable states.

    Returns boolean

  • set ignoreParent(value): void

    • value: boolean

    Returns void

  • get resizable(): string
  • Gets whether the Element is resizable and where the resize handle is located.

    Returns string

  • set resizable(value): void
  • Sets whether the Element is resizable and where the resize handle is located. Can be one of 'top', 'bottom', 'right', 'left'. Set to null to disable resizing.

    Parameters

    • value: string

    Returns void

Methods

  • If the current node contains a root, recursively append its children to this node and return it. Otherwise return the current node. Also add each child to the parent under its keyed name.

    Parameters

    • node: {
          children?: any;
          root?: any;
          [x: string]: any;
      }

      The current element in the dom structure which must be recursively traversed and appended to its parent.

      • [x: string]: any
      • Optionalchildren?: any

        The children of the root node.

      • Optionalroot?: any

        The root node of the dom structure.

    Returns Container

    The recursively appended element node.

  • Appends an element to the container just after the specified reference element.

    Parameters

    • element: any

      The element to append.

    • referenceElement: any

      The element after which the element will be appended.

    Returns void

    'append'

  • Appends an element to the container before the specified reference element.

    Parameters

    • element: any

      The element to append.

    • referenceElement: any

      The element before which the element will be appended.

    Returns void

    'append'

  • Takes an array of pcui elements, each of which can contain their own child elements, and appends them to this container. These child elements are traversed recursively using _buildDomNode.

    Parameters

    • dom: any[]

      An array of child pcui elements to append to this container.

    Returns void

    buildDom([
    {
    child1: pcui.Label()
    },
    {
    root: {
    container1: pcui.Container()
    },
    children: [
    {
    child2: pcui.Label()
    },
    {
    child3: pcui.Label()
    }
    ]
    }
    ]);
  • Iterate over each child element using the supplied function. To early out of the iteration, return false from the function.

    Parameters

    • fn: ((child: Element, index: number) => false | void)

      The function to call for each child element.

        • (child, index): false | void
        • Parameters

          Returns false | void

    Returns void

  • Links the specified observers and paths to the Element's data binding.

    Parameters

    • observers: Observer | Observer[]

      An array of observers or a single observer.

    • paths: string | string[]

      A path for the observer(s) or an array of paths that maps to each separate observer.

    Returns void

  • Unbinds an event listener for the specified event name. If a callback function is provided, only that specific listener is removed. If no callback is provided, all listeners for the event are removed. If no event name is provided, all listeners for all events are removed.

    Parameters

    • Optionalname: string

      The name of the event to unbind. If not provided, all events are unbound.

    • Optionalfn: HandleEvent

      The specific callback function to remove. If not provided, all listeners for the event are removed.

    Returns Events

    The current instance for chaining.

    // Register an event listener
    const callback = (arg1, arg2) => {
    console.log('Event triggered with arguments:', arg1, arg2);
    };
    events.on('testEvent', callback);

    // Unbind the specific event listener
    events.unbind('testEvent', callback);

    // Unbind all listeners for a specific event
    events.unbind('testEvent');

    // Unbind all listeners for all events
    events.unbind();
