Methods

  • _render(): void
  • This render method is called by this deferred widget once the widget container has become visible. You may now proceed with widget initialization.

    Must be overridden, or an error will be thrown.

    override

    Returns void

  • addDeferredRender(widgetId: string, container: JQuery<HTMLElement>, callback: (() => boolean)): void
  • Adds a deferred rendering task for the given widget to the queue.

    Parameters

    • widgetId: string

      The ID of a deferred widget.

    • container: JQuery<HTMLElement>

      The container element that should be visible.

    • callback: (() => boolean)

      Callback that is invoked when the widget may possibly have become visible. Should return true when the widget was rendered, or false when the widget still needs to be rendered later.

        • (): boolean
        • Returns boolean

    Returns void

  • Lets you register a listener that is called before the component is destroyed.

    When an AJAX call is made and this component is updated, the DOM element is replaced with the newly rendered content. When the element is removed from the DOM by the update, the DOM element is detached from the DOM and all destroy listeners are called. This makes it possible to add listeners from outside the widget code.

    If you call this method twice with the same listener, it will be registered twice and later also called twice.

    Note that for this to work, you must not override the destroy method; or if you do, call super.

    Also, after this widget was detached is done, all destroy listeners will be unregistered.

    since

    7.0

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • When an AJAX call is made and this component is updated, the DOM element is replaced with the newly rendered content. However, no new instance of the widget is created. Instead, after the DOM element was replaced, all refresh listeners are called. This makes it possible to add listeners from outside the widget code.

    If you call this method twice with the same listener, it will be registered twice and later also called twice.

    Note that for this to work, you must not override the refresh method; or if you do, call super.

    Also, after the refresh is done, all refresh listeners will be deregistered. If you added the listeners from within this widget, consider adding the refresh listeners not only in the init method, but also again in the refresh method after calling super.

    7.0.0

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • backwardIsDisabled(): boolean
  • Retrieves whether the backward button is disabled.

    Returns boolean

    backward button is disabled.

  • bindDocumentListeners(): void
  • Adds the resize event listener to the window.

    Returns void

  • bindEvents(): void
  • Sets up all event listeners required by this widget.

    Returns void

  • calculatePosition(): void
  • Calculates position and visible items and the number of how many items will be scrolled when screen aspect ratio changes then updates current page of the current Carousel widget.

    Returns void

  • Each widget may have one or several behaviors attached to it. This method calls all attached behaviors for the given event name. In case no such behavior exists, this method does nothing and returns immediately.

    A behavior is a way for associating client-side scripts with UI components that opens all sorts of possibilities, including client-side validation, DOM and style manipulation, keyboard handling, and more. When the behavior is triggered, the configured JavaScript gets executed.

    Behaviors are often, but not necessarily, AJAX behavior. When triggered, it initiates a request the server and processes the response once it is received. This enables several features such as updating or replacing elements dynamically. You can add an AJAX behavior via <p:ajax event="name" actionListener="#{...}" onstart="..." />.

    A behavior is a way for associating client-side scripts with UI components that opens all sorts of possibilities, including client-side validation, DOM and style manipulation, keyboard handling, and more. When the behavior is triggered, the configured JavaScript gets executed.

    Behaviors are often, but not necessarily, AJAX behavior. When triggered, it initiates a request the server and processes the response once it is received. This enables several features such as updating or replacing elements dynamically. You can add an AJAX behavior via <p:ajax event="name" actionListener="#{...}" onstart="..." />.

  • Retrieves the total number of the indicators floor to 0 so it can't be negative.

    Returns number

    total number of the indicators.

  • hasBehavior(event: string): boolean
  • Each widget may have one or several behaviors attached to it. This method checks whether this widget has got at least one behavior associated with given event name.

    A behavior is a way for associating client-side scripts with UI components that opens all sorts of possibilities, including client-side validation, DOM and style manipulation, keyboard handling, and more. When the behavior is triggered, the configured JavaScript gets executed.

    Behaviors are often, but not necessarily, AJAX behavior. When triggered, it initiates a request the server and processes the response once it is received. This enables several features such as updating or replacing elements dynamically. You can add an AJAX behavior via <p:ajax event="name" actionListener="#{...}" onstart="..." />.

    Parameters

    • event: string

      The name of an event to check.

    Returns boolean

    true if this widget has the given behavior, false otherwise.

  • A widget class should not declare an explicit constructor, the default constructor provided by this base widget should be used. Instead, override this initialize method which is called after the widget instance was constructed. You can use this method to perform any initialization that is required. For widgets that need to create custom HTML on the client-side this is also the place where you should call your render method.

    Please make sure to call the super method first before adding your own custom logic to the init method:

    PrimeFaces.widget.MyWidget = PrimeFaces.widget.BaseWidget.extend({
    init: function(cfg) {
    this._super(cfg);
    // custom initialization
    }
    });
    override

    Parameters

    • cfg: PartialWidgetCfg<TCfg>

      The widget configuration to be used for this widget instance. This widget configuration is usually created on the server by the javax.faces.render.Renderer for this component.

    Returns void

  • initPageState(): void
  • Initialize current page and variables.

    Returns void

  • isDetached(): boolean
  • Checks if this widget is detached, ie whether the HTML element of this widget is currently contained within the DOM (the HTML body element). A widget may become detached during an AJAX update, and it may remain detached in case the update removed this component from the component tree.

    Returns boolean

    true if this widget is currently detached, or false otherwise.

  • lastIndex(): number
  • Retrieves the last index of visible items.

    Returns number

    last index of the visible items.

  • navBackward(event: Event, index: number): void
  • Moves this carousel to the previous page. If autoplay is active, it will stop.

    Parameters

    • event: Event

      Event that occurred.

    • index: number

      0-based index of the page to display.

    Returns void

  • navForward(event: Event, index: number): void
  • Moves this carousel to the next page. If autoplay is active, it will stop.

    Parameters

    • event: Event

      Event that occurred.

    • index: number

      0-based index of the page to display.

    Returns void

  • onIndicatorClick(event: Event, index: number): void
  • It moves the current Carousel to the index of the clicked indicator on that Carousel viewport.

    Parameters

    • event: Event

      Event that occurred.

    • index: number

      0-based index of the indicator.

    Returns void

  • onTransitionEnd(): void
  • Changes current page according to the state of the page when the transition ends.

    Returns void

  • postRender(): void
  • Called after the widget has become visible and after it was rendered. May be overridden, the default implementation is a no-op.

    Returns void

  • Used in ajax updates, reloads the widget configuration.

    When an AJAX call is made and this component is updated, the DOM element is replaced with the newly rendered content. However, no new instance of the widget is created. Instead, after the DOM element was replaced, this method is called with the new widget configuration from the server. This makes it possible to persist client-side state during an update, such as the currently selected tab.

    Please note that instead of overriding this method, you should consider adding a refresh listener instead via addRefreshListener. This has the advantage of letting you add multiple listeners, and makes it possible to add additional listeners from code outside this widget.

    By default, this method calls all refresh listeners, then reinitializes the widget by calling the init method.

    override

    Parameters

    Returns void

    The value as returned by the init method, which is often undefined.

  • removeScriptElement(clientId: string | string[]): void
  • Removes the widget's script block from the DOM. Currently, the ID of this script block consists of the client-side ID of this widget with the prefix _s, but this is subject to change.

    Parameters

    • clientId: string | string[]

      The client-side ID of the widget.

    Returns void

  • This render method to check whether the widget container is visible. Do not override this method, or the deferred widget functionality may not work properly anymore.

    Returns ReturnOrVoid<undefined | boolean>

    true if the widget container is visible, false or undefined otherwise.

  • renderDeferred(): void
  • Call this method in the init method if you want deferred rendering support. This method checks whether the container of this widget is visible and call _render only once it is.
