Reference - JavaScript Controls

Introduction

Javascript controls can be included via

  • ISML - ui_web_library - Javascript Controls and directly via
  • Javascript - JavaScript Package - Controls

The ISML modules guarantees the functionality, also if the Javascript widget is no longer available (or supported).

ui_web_library

General Usage

Most controls are divided into two parts: the JavaScript part and the DOM part. The JavaScript part should be placed at the HTML-head tag. To solve this, especially for components and includes a webadapter placeholder is used.

If you have included the ISML-Templates webcontrols/Placeholder and webcontrols/Modules in the header of the web page, you can call the controls of the ISML Javascript library in the following way:

...
<html>
    ...
    <head>
        ...
        <isinclude template="webcontrols/Placeholder">
        ...
    </head>
    <body>
        ...
        <isinclude template="webcontrols/Modules">
        ...
        <isCONTROLNAME id="controlSelector" ...attributes... />
        ...
    </body>
</html>
...

ISAssignmentList

For the AssignmentList we use a JQuery modul "MultiSelect", further documentation and demos are available on the vendors page.

Advanced Columns Template

The following template can be used for many ISGrids of the same type and provides configurable visible columns.

To define which columns to display, call the ISGrid with a configuration-parameter (to define the configuration-name) and add the following line to the isgrid.properties of your cartridge:

staticfiles/cartridge/config/isgrid.properties
intershop.template.isgrid.<CONFIGURATIONNAME>.columns=namelink id typecode

This will only show the 3 stated columns. Not providing this property or leaving it empty will show all columns.

The columns-template has to be modified too:

ChannelColumns.isml

<iscontent type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8" compact="true" templatemarker="false">
<!--- get visible columns from configuration --->

ISPropertyEditor

The ISPropertyEditor renders form-elements that represent a given PropertyGroup. The values of the PropertyGroup can be manipulated by the user.

Abvailable Editors

TextInputFieldEditor

Value TypeString
@Secret supportyes
Full qualified Name
com.intershop.ui.web.internal.property.editor.TextInputFieldEditor
Used Controls
  • com.intershop.ui.web.capi.property.editor.ui.TextInputField
  • com.intershop.ui.web.capi.property.editor.ui.PasswordInputField

The default editor for properties of the type String. Normally rendered as a text input field. If the property is annotated as @Secret it is rendered as a password field and the value is not transfered to the client.

SelectBoxEditor

Value TypeString
@Secret supportno
Full qualified Name... in progress ...
Used Controls

Value TypeEnum<?>
@Secret supportno
Full qualified Name
com.intershop.ui.web.internal.property.editor.EnumSelectBox
Used Controls
com.intershop.ui.web.capi.property.editor.ui.SelectBox

The default editor for enum typed properties. The values shown to the user can be localized either specific for the property group or the enum data type. The lookup for the localized value is:

  • localization key propertygroup.<property group ID>.properties.<property ID>.values.<enumValue.name()>
  • localization key <enumValue.getClass().getName()>.<enumValue.name()>
  • enumValue.toString()

Attributes

ownerObjectThe owner of the values which are stored using the PropertyGroup.
propertydescriptorPropertyGroupDescriptorThe PropertyGroupDescriptor of a PropertyGroup that shall be rendered (see Concept - Property Groups)
validationresultUIPropertyGroupThe validation results which are returned by the pipelet StorePropertyGroupValues
hidetitleStringHide the title of the property group (e.g. when only 1 property group is rendered) (default: "false")
formfieldnameStringThe name of the hidden form-field that stores the JSON-serialized property group values (incl. user changes) for processing with the pipelet StorePropertyGroupValues  (default: "PropertyGroupConfiguration")

Extension Points

To add a new custom Editor which is used to render a specific Property, use the Extension Points by following these steps:

  1. Create the server-side Editor implementation using the interface com.intershop.ui.web.capi.property.editor.Editor  (example: com.intershop.ui.web.internal.property.editor.TextInputFieldEditor)

    CustomEditor.java
    public class CustomEditor implements Editor<String>
    {
        @Override
        public boolean isSupported(PropertyType propertyType)
        {
            return propertyType.getValueType().equals(String.class);
        }
    
        @Override
        public UIEditor getUIEditor(String value, PropertyType propertyType, Object owner)
        {
            if (propertyType.isSecret())
            {
                String placeholder = value == null ? "" : "SECRET";
                return new CustomUIEditor(placeholder);
            }
            else
            {
                return new CustomUIEditor(value);
            }
        }
        @Override
        public String getValue(UIEditor editor, PropertyType propertyType, Object owner) throws ConversionException
        {
            CustomUIEditor field = (CustomUIEditor)editor;
            String value = field.getValue();
            return value;
        }
    } 
  2. Create the server-side UIEditor implementation using the interface com.intershop.ui.web.capi.property.editor.ui.AbstractUIEditor (example: com.intershop.ui.web.internal.property.editor.ui.TextInputField)

    Those instances are subject for serialization and deserialization with the Jackson library.

    CustomUIEditor.java
    public class CustomUIEditor extends AbstractUIEditor
    {
        private String value;
        private boolean invalid = false;
    
        public CustomUIEditor()
        {
        }
    
        public CustomUIEditor(String value)
        {
            this.setValue(value);
        }
    
        public String getValue()
        {
            return value;
        }
    
        public void setValue(String value)
        {
            this.value = value;
        }
    
        @Override
        public int hashCode()
        {
            return Objects.hashCode(value);
        }
    
        @Override
        public boolean equals(Object obj)
        {
            if (this == obj)
            {
                return true;
            }
            
            if (obj == null)
            {
                return false;
            }
            
            if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
            {
                return false;
            }
            
            CustomUIEditor other = (CustomUIEditor)obj;
            if (!Objects.equals(value, other.value))
            {
                return false;
            }
            return true;
        }
    
        @Override
        public boolean isInvalid()
        {
            return invalid;
        }
    
        public void markAsInvalid()
        {
            invalid = true;
        }
    } 
  3. Create the client-side JavaScript UIEditor (example: p_business/ui_web_library/staticfiles/cartridge/static/default/js/propertygroups/editor/textinputfield.js)
    Don't forget to change editor registration to match the full qualified name of your server-side UIEditor.

    customfield.js
    /*global jQuery:true, intershop:true */
    'use strict';
    !function (global, utils, $) {
        var ui = utils.namespace('intershop.propertygroups.ui'),
            editor = utils.namespace('intershop.propertygroups.ui.editor'),
            template = '' + 
                '<div class="propertygroup-editor propertygroup-editor-custom">' +
                    '<input type="text" class="propertygroup-editor-value" />' +
                '</div>';
    
        /**
         * Create a new CustomField editor.
         * @param {Object} json configuration as JSON
         * @param {String} name name of the editor
         */
        var CustomField = function CustomField(json, name) {
            this.$el = $($.parseHTML(template));
            this.$el.children('.propertygroup-editor-value').attr('name', name);
            
            Object.defineProperty(this, 'value', {
                configurable: true,
                enumerable: true,
                get: function () {
                    return this.$el.children('.propertygroup-editor-value').val();
                },
                set: function (v) {
                    this.$el.children('.propertygroup-editor-value').val(v);
                }
            });
            
            this.fromJSON(json);
            this.bindEvents();
        };
        
        /**
         * Bind events to the DOM element.
         * @private
         */
        CustomField.prototype.bindEvents = function bindEvents() {
            var _this = this;
            this.$el.find('.propertygroup-editor-value')
                .on('input.propertygroup', function onInput() {
                    _this.modified = true;
                });
        };
        
        /**
         * Load configuration from JSON.
         * @param {Object} originJSON configuration as JSON
         * @private
         */
        CustomField.prototype.fromJSON = function fromJSON(originJSON) {
            var json = $.extend(true, {}, originJSON);
            
            this.modified = json.modified || false;
            this.value = json.value || '';
        };
        
        /**
         * Create configuration as JSON.
         * @param {Object} originJSON old configuration as JSON
         * @return {Object} updated configuration as JSON
         */
        CustomField.prototype.toJSON = function toJSON(originJSON) {
            var json = $.extend(true, {}, originJSON);
            
            json.modified = this.modified;
            if (this.modified) {
                json.value = this.value;
            }
            
            return json;
        };
        
        /**
         * Get the jQuery DOM element.
         * @return {jQuery} jQuery DOM elements
         */
        CustomField.prototype.render = function render() {
            return this.$el;
        };
        
        editor.CustomField = editor.CustomField || CustomField;
        ui.Controller.registerEditor('full.qualified.name.of.your.CustomUIEditor', CustomField);
    }(window, intershop.propertygroups.utils, jQuery);
    
    
  4. Create the CSS file to style your editor (example: p_business/ui_web_library/staticfiles/cartridge/static/default/css/propertygroups/editor/textinputfield.css)

    customfield.css
    .propertygroup-editor-custom {
        background-color: red;
    }
  5. Create a template which loads the JavaScript implementation and the CSS file (example: p_business/ui_web_library/staticfiles/cartridge/templates/default/webcontrols/propertygroups/editor/TextInputFieldEditor.isml)

    CustomEditor.isml
    <iscontent type="text/html" charset="UTF-8" compact="true">
    <isplacement placeholderid="JSWebLibraries">propertygroups/editor/customfield.js</isplacement>
    <isplacement placeholderid="CSSWebLibraries">propertygroups/editor/customfield.css</isplacement>
  6. Register your Editor at the existing ExtensionPoints (example: p_business/ui_web_library/staticfiles/cartridge/extensions/PropertyEditorTextInputFieldEditor.extension)

    CustomEditor.extension
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <extensionpoint:ExtensionPointModel xmlns:extensionpoint="http://www.intershop.de/extensionpoint/2011" name="CustomEditor">
        <extensionBindings type="java" extensionPoint="com.intershop.ui.web.capi.property.editor.Editor-PropertyEditor.register" extension="full.qualified.name.of.your.CustomEditor"/>
        <extensionBindings type="isml" extensionPoint="webcontrols/propertygroups/PropertyEditor-Editors" extension="template/path/to/your/isml/CustomEditor"/>
    </extensionpoint:ExtensionPointModel>
    
    
  7. Map the Property of a PropertyGroup to your Editor (example: a_backoffice/app_bo_dashboard/staticfiles/cartridge/components/instances.component)

    This is only necessary if multiple editors for the same Java are registered and this certain property needs to used the editor with lower priority.

    instances.component
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <components xmlns="http://www.intershop.de/component/2010">
        <instance name="MyCustomMappingUsingMyCustomEditor" with="PropertyEditorConfiguration">
            <fulfill requirement="propertyGroupMapping">
                <instance with="PropertyEditorConfiguration.PropertyGroupMapping">
                    <fulfill requirement="propertyGroup" value="full.qualified.name.of.my.PropertyGroup"/>
                    <fulfill requirement="propertyMapping">
                        <instance with="PropertyEditorConfiguration.PropertyMapping">
                            <fulfill requirement="property" value="nameOfMyProperty"/>
                            <fulfill requirement="editor"   value="full.qualified.name.of.my.CustomEditor"/>
                        </instance>
                    </fulfill>
                </instance>
            </fulfill>
        </instance>
    </components>

ISStickyTableHeaders

Attributes

selector

(optional)

jQuery selector of the table (e.g. "#producttable", "table.product"), falls back to "table.stickyheader" if not used

Description

The ISStickyTableHeader module is a wrapper of the stickyheader jQuery plugin which will make sure that the table header (thead) is always visible when the user scrolls trough the table.
The plugin detaches the thead and sets a fixed-position in the page, if the user starts scrolling.

Usage

<ISStickyTableHeaders>
<!--- this table will use it by default --->
<table class="stickyheader">
</table>

<!--- this table won't use it --->
<table>
</table>

<!--- this table explicitly uses it --->
<ISStickyTableHeaders selector="#'#'#mytable">
<table id="mytable">
</table>

Without StickyHeaders

With StickyHeaders

The table header (which includes buttons) is visible during scrolling.

ISTree

Attributes

params

Map

Define ISML variables needed in the data- / config- or script template here. You can use ISCreateMap to create this parameter.

id

String

Is the HTML id of the generated element.

configuration

String (a-zA-Z camelCase)

The configuration-name of this specific tree instance.

configtemplate

Isinclude path

Contains a JavaScript object containing the configuration of the tree.

datatemplate

Isinclude path

Functions

name

parameters

description

getBase

boolean detach, boolean clear

Creates the table inside the parent element and returns a reference. If it already exists, no new table will be created. Call with detach=true to detach the table from the DOM for faster mass-data operations, but do not forget to append the table manually again to the parent element. Calling with clear=true will empty the complete table.

getColumnData

DOMNode element

By giving this function a reference to any DOM element inside the table (e.g. the th or an element inside a td) it will return the configuration of the parent column.

getRowData

DOMNode element

By giving this function a reference to any DOM element inside the tbody (e.g. an element inside a td or the tr itself) it will return the data-object of the owning row.

jquery.fn.powerTip

A web browser on its own only uses the "title" attribute of DOM elements to present a tooltip to the user, but this is limited to plain text. If a tooltip should also contain HTML markup then this can only be achieved via JavaScript. For this PowerTip (a jquery plugin) is provided with the Intershop solution. 

PowerTip Homepage

Running example usages: ui_web_library\staticfiles\cartridge\static\default\js\jquery\powertip\demo\examples.html

Demo Scenario 1

The basic use case to let "title" tooltips to be rendered with PowerTip.

HTML

<a href="/some/link" title="This will be the tooltip text.">Some Link</a>

JavaScript

$('[title]').powerTip({smartPlacement:true});

Demo Scenario 2

Create tooltips with structured content. Note that the tooltip content should be simply renderable with ISML. This is an Intershop specific extension of the original PowerTip plugin.

HTML

<a href="/some/link">Some Link</a>
<div class="tooltip" style="display:none">
This will be the tooltip <br />
	<table>
		<tr>
			<td>Name:</td>
			<td>A name</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>ID:</td>
			<td>An identifier</td>
		</tr>
	</table>
</div>

JavaScript

$('.tooltip').powerTip({applyThisOnPrevious:true, mouseOnToPopup:true, smartPlacement:true});

Required Resources

  • js\jquery\powertip\jquery.powertip.js

Configuration

NameDefaultTypeDescription
followMousefalseBooleanIf set to true the tooltip will follow the users mouse cursor.
mouseOnToPopupfalseBooleanAllow the mouse to hover on the tooltip. This lets users interact with the content in the tooltip. Only works if followMouse is set to false.
placement'n'StringPlacement location of the tooltip relative to the element it is open for. Values can be n, e, s, w, nw, ne, sw, se, nw-alt, ne-alt, sw-alt, or se-alt (as in north, east, south, and west). This only matters if followMouse is set to false.
smartPlacementfalseBooleanWhen enabled the plugin will try to keep tips inside the browser view port. If a tooltip would extend outside of the view port then its placement will be changed to an orientation that would be entirely within the current view port. Only applies if followMouse is set to false.
popupId'powerTip'StringHTML id attribute for the tooltip div.
offset10NumberPixel offset of the tooltip. This will be the offset from the element the tooltip is open for, or from from mouse cursor if followMouse is true.
fadeInTime200NumberTooltip fade-in time in milliseconds.
fadeOutTime100NumberTooltip fade-out time in milliseconds.
closeDelay100NumberTime in milliseconds to wait after mouse cursor leaves the element before closing the tooltip. This serves two purposes: first, it is the mechanism that lets the mouse cursor reach the tooltip (cross the gap between the element and the tooltip div) for mouseOnToPopup tooltips. And, second, it lets the cursor briefly leave the element and return without causing the whole fade-out, intent test, and fade-in cycle to happen.
intentPollInterval100NumberHover intent polling interval in milliseconds.
intentSensitivity7NumberHover intent sensitivity. The tooltip will not open unless the number of pixels the mouse has moved within the intentPollInterval is less than this value. These default values mean that if the mouse cursor has moved 7 or more pixels in 100 milliseconds the tooltip will not open.
manualfalseBooleanIf set to true then PowerTip will not hook up its event handlers, letting you create your own event handlers to control when tooltips are shown (using the API to open and close tooltips).
applyThisOnPreviousfalseBooleanIf set to true then PowerTip will use the DOM element where is applied to and takes it as the tooltip content for the immediately preceding sibling element. This is an Intershop specific extension of the PowerTip plugin.

Detail

Options

The options of an AssignmentList can be set inside the constructor

$( "aElement" ).assignment({ aOption: "aValue" });

or with the set method.

$( "aElement" ).assignment( "option", "aOption", "aValue" );

Get the value of the option via the get method:

var aValue = $( "aElement" ).assignment( "option", "aOption" );

animated

public String animated = "fast"

 

When animated is specified, the AssignmentList UI will use transition effects between interactions. The possible values are 'fast', 'slow' and null (no animation).


dataParser

public Function dataParser = defaultDataParser

 

Used with remote search, this function is called to parse the data received and return the data in the expected format.

The function takes the raw received data from the request and should return a JSON object corresponding to the new available options to add. The returned object should have the following structure :

{
	"key1": {
		selected: boolean,
		value: string
	}[,
	"key2": {
		selected: boolean,
		value: string
	}[,
	...]]
}

If the data should be discarded, the function may return false or null.


dividerLocation

public Number dividerLocation = 0.6

 

Specify the portion of the selected (left side) area of the AssignmentList. To have an even split AssignmentList, set dividerLocation to 0.5. The value should be between 0 and 1.


droppable

public String droppable = "both"

 

Enable or disable basic drag and drop functionality between the selected list (left) and the available list (right). The possible values are 'both', 'left', 'right', 'none'. And set drop support in both lists, the selected list, the available list, or no drag and drop respectively.

This setting is readonly at run-time. Trying to set this property after initialization will trigger a messages event.


hide

public String hide = "slideUp"

 

Specify the hide animation function to use. If animated is null, the value will be overriden to 'hide'. The possible values are any available function effects name. The default value for animated hide effect is 'slideUp'.


nodeComparator

public Function nodeComparator = defaultNodeComparator

 

Comparator function used in ordering the list's elements during transfer. The function takes two arguments, a and b, and should return a numeric value less than 0 if a < b, 0 if a == b, or greater than 0 if a > b respectively.

The function is only called when the list is not sortable. By default, items are sorted by content value ascending. To completely disable automatic list ordering, set nodeComparator to null.


nodeInserted

public Function nodeInserted = null

 

Callback function fired for each newly inserted items. The function takes the inserted item as a JQuery object and does not expect any return value.

Internally, items are cached as a best effort basis, therefore some items may be inserted, removed and re-inserted during manipulations.


remoteParams

public Object remoteParams = {}

 

Specify some extra remote parameters to send with every remote search requests. Note that the 'q' argument is reserved by AssignmentList and if remoteParams contains a key called 'q', it will be overriden with the search query.


remoteUrl

public String remoteUrl = null

 

If the AssignmentList is searchable, then setting this option will allow fetching new data from a remote script. The returned data may vary if a custom dataParser is set.

The default parser expects to receive the data as plain text, one option per line, in the format of :

value=text

searchable

public Boolean searchable = true

 

Enable or disable search capabilities for this instance of the AssignmentList.


searchDelay

public Integer searchDelay = 400

 

Define the input search delay before a request is sent to the server. The default value is 400 milliseconds.


show

public String show = "slideDown"

 

Specify the show animation function to use. If animated is null, the value will be overriden to 'show'. The possible values are any available function effects name. The default value for animated hide effect is 'slideDown'.


sortable

public String sortable = "left"

 

Enable or disable item sortable functionality through drag and drop for the selected list (left) and/or the available list (right). The possible values are 'both', 'left', 'right', 'none'. And set sortable support in both lists, the selected list only, the available list only, or none sortable respectively.

This setting overrides droppable for the specified list. This setting is readonly at run-time (like droppable).

Constructor

An AssignmentList can be created with these constructors, one with and one without options.

$( "aElement" ).assignment({ aOption: "aValue" });
$( "aElement" ).assignment();

jquery.ui.widgets.Dialog

public Dialog extends Widget

A dialog is a floating window that contains a title bar and a content area. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon by default.

If the content length exceeds the maximum height, a scrollbar will automatically appear.

A bottom button bar and semi-transparent modal overlay layer are common options that can be added.

A call to

$(foo).dialog()

will initialize a dialog instance and will auto-open the dialog by default. If you want to reuse a dialog, the easiest way is to disable the "auto-open" option with:

$(foo).dialog({ autoOpen: false })

Open it with:

$(foo).dialog('open')

To close it, use:

$(foo).dialog('close')

Demo Scenarios

Demo

Example

Html DOM element for dialog

...
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog">
    <p>The dialog window can be moved, resized or closed with the 'x' icon.</p>
</div>
<button id="opener">Open Dialog</button>
...

Creates a new Dialog with the standard Settings

$( "#dialog" ).dialog();
