Class CollectionTemplate

java.lang.Object

org.zkoss.zuti.zul.CollectionTemplate

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, org.zkoss.zk.ui.ext.DynamicPropertied

public class CollectionTemplate
extends Object
implements org.zkoss.zk.ui.ext.DynamicPropertied, Serializable

A utility to let developers to apply shadow elements in Java class. It has the similar behavior with ForEach, for example, setModel(ListModel) corresponds to ForEach.setItems(Object) but only accept ListModel.

One difference is that developers can specify the template name by setTemplate(String) or setTemplateURI(String), and it is more flexible to assign CollectionTemplateResolver which will resolve the proper Template by evaluating the variable reference from model in runtime.

Besides, developers must designate a boolean value, called autodrop, to indicate whether to drop those rendered children or not. If true, every time developers changed template or detach from the original host, ShadowTemplate will HtmlShadowElement.recreate() or removed the children, otherwise, rendered children will remain on page.

After instantiating CollectionTemplate instance and above configuration, developers can trigger apply(Component) to compose the specified template with shadow host passed as parameter. Note that, the passed host should be the same one if autodrop is true, or pass null to detach the original host first.

Constructor Detail

CollectionTemplate

public CollectionTemplate(boolean autodrop)

Constructor needs a boolean value to indicate whether to detached all rendered children automatically or not when template or host is changed.

Parameters:

autodrop - a boolean value

Method Detail

getShadowHost

public org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component getShadowHost()

Return the current shadow host.

Returns:

host component

setModel

public void setModel(org.zkoss.zul.ListModel model)

Accept model to render iteratively.

Parameters:

model -

getModel

public org.zkoss.zul.ListModel getModel()

setTemplateResolver

public void setTemplateResolver(CollectionTemplateResolver templateResolver)

Template resolver will resolve the proper Template by evaluating the variable reference from model.

Parameters:

templateResolver -

getTemplate

public String getTemplate()

Returns the template name

setTemplate

public void setTemplate(String template)

Sets the template name to apply.

One cannot set both template and template URI at the same time. For example, setTemplate(String) after setTemplateURI(String), then only template uri takes charge of rendering.

Parameters:

template - the template name

setTemplateURI

public void setTemplateURI(String templateURI)

Sets the template uri.

One cannot set both template and template URI at the same time. For example, setTemplate(String) after setTemplateURI(String), then only template uri takes charge of rendering.

Parameters:

templateURI - the template URI, like Apply.setTemplateURI(String).

getTemplateURI

public String getTemplateURI()

apply

public void apply(org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component host)

Compose the specified template with the given host. Notice that,

• If autodrop(the boolean value passed when instantiation) is true, users should apply to the same host every time, otherwise, apply null to detach the original host, and then apply to the new one.
• If autodrop is false, don't have to consider this situation, users can apply to any host you want except null.

Parameters:

host - as known as shadow host mentioned in other shadow element
