PrimeFaces Paginator Widget

A widget for handling pagination that is usually used by other widget via composition, that is, they create and save an instance of this widget during initialization. After you create a new instance of this paginator, you should set the paginate property to an appropriate callback function.

const paginator = new PrimeFaces.widget.Paginator(paginatorCfg);
paginator.paginator = newState => {
// handle pagination
};

Type Parameters

Index

Constructors

  • Creates a new instance of this widget. Please note that you should NOT override this constructor. Instead, override the init method, which is called at the end of the constructor once the instance is created.

    Type Parameters

    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 Paginator<TCfg>

Properties

ariaPageLabel: string

ARIA LABEL attribute for the page links.

cfg: PartialWidgetCfg<TCfg>

The configuration of this widget instance. Please note that no property is guaranteed to be present, you should always check for undefined before accessing a property. This is partly because the value of a property is not transmitted from the server to the client when it equals the default.

currentReport: JQuery<HTMLElement>

DOM element of the status text as configured by the currentPageTemplate.

Array of registered listeners invoked when this widget is destroyed. You should normally not use modify this directly, use addDestroyListener instead.

endLink: JQuery<HTMLElement>

DOM element of the link to the last page.

firstLink: JQuery<HTMLElement>

DOM element of the link back to the first page.

id: string | string[]

The client-side ID of this widget, with all parent naming containers, such as myForm:myWidget. This is also the ID of the container HTML element for this widget. In case the widget needs multiple container elements (such as Paginator), this may also be an array if IDs.

jq: JQuery<HTMLElement>

The jQuery instance of the container element of this widget. In case id is an array, it will contain multiple elements. Please note that some widgets have got not DOM elements at all, in this case this will be an empty jQuery instance.

jqId: string

A CSS selector for the container element (or elements, in case id is an array) of this widget, This is usually an ID selector (that is properly escaped). You can select the container element or elements like this: $(widget.jqId).

jtpInput: JQuery<HTMLElement>

INPUT element for selecting a page to navigate to (jump to page)

jtpSelect: JQuery<HTMLElement>

SELECT element for selecting a page to navigate to (jump to page)

nextLink: JQuery<HTMLElement>

DOM element of the link to the next page.

pageLinks: JQuery<HTMLElement>

DOM elements of each numbered page link.

pagesContainer: JQuery<HTMLElement>

DOM element of the container with the numbered page links.

prevLink: JQuery<HTMLElement>

DOM element of the link back to the previous page.

Array of registered listeners invoked when this widget is refreshed. You should normally not use modify this directly, use addRefreshListener instead.

rppSelect: JQuery<HTMLElement>

SELECT element for selection the number of pages to display (rows per page).

widgetVar: string

The name of the widget variables of this widget. The widget variable can be used to access a widget instance by calling PF('myWidgetVar').

Methods

  • 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.

    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.

    Parameters

    Returns void

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

    Returns void

  • bindPageLinkEvents(): void
  • Sets up the event listeners for page link buttons.

    Returns void

  • Binds swipe events to this paginator to the JQ element passed in.

    Parameters

    • owner: JQuery<HTMLElement>

      the owner JQ element of the paginator

    • ownerConfig: PartialWidgetCfg<TCfg>

      the owner configuration to check if touch enabled or not

    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="..." />.

    since

    7.0

    Parameters

    • event: string

      The name of an event to call.

    • Optional ext: Partial<ConfigurationExtender>

      Additional configuration that is passed to the AJAX request for the server-side callback.

    Returns void

  • configureAria(): void
  • Configures ARIA labels for screenreaders.

    Returns void

  • destroy(): void
  • Will be called after an AJAX request if the widget container will be detached.

    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 this method gets called.

    Please note that instead of overriding this method, you should consider adding a destroy listener instead via addDestroyListener. 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 just calls all destroy listeners.

    Returns void

      Element to disabled.

    Returns void

  • getBehavior(name: string): null | Behavior
  • Each widget may have one or several behaviors attached to it. This method returns the callback function for the given event.

    Note: Do not call the method directly, the recommended way to invoke a behavior is via callBehavior.

    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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • next(): void
  • Switches to the next page. Does nothing when this pagination is already on the last page.

    Returns void

  • prev(): void
  • Switches to the previous page. Does nothing when this pagination is already on the first page.

    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.

    Parameters

    Returns unknown

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