JET Tag Cloud

*

Tag clouds are used to display text data with the importance of each tag shown with font size or color.


<oj-c-tag-cloud
  data="[[dataProvider]]">
</oj-c-tag-cloud>

When using font colors as a data dimension for tag clouds, the application needs to ensure that they meet minimum contrast requirements. Not all colors in the default value ramp provided by oj.ColorAttributeGroupHandler will meet minimum contrast requirements.

Accessibility

To make your component accessible, the application is required to include contextual information for screender readers using one or more the following methods as appropriate:
  • aria-describedby
  • aria-labelledby
  • aria-label
  • short-desc property of your items

If your application has custom keyboard and touch shortcuts implemented for the component, these shortcuts can conflict with those of the component. It is the application's responsibility to disclose these custom shortcuts, possibly via a datatip or help popup.

When using colors as a data dimension for tag clouds, the application needs to ensure that they meet minimum contrast requirements.

Performance

Shaped Data

As a rule of thumb, it's recommended that applications use shaped data if possible for performance gains.

Layout

Rectangular layouts are faster than cloud layouts and are recommended for larger data sets.

Touch End User Information

Target Gesture Action
Data Item Tap Select when selectionMode is enabled.
Open a link when the url for a data item is set.


Usage

Signature:

interface CTagCloudElement<K extends string | number,D extends any>

Typescript Import Format
//To typecheck the element APIs, import as below.
import { CTagCloudElement } from "oj-c/tag-cloud";

//For the transpiled javascript to load the element's module, import as below
import "oj-c/tag-cloud";

Note: Application logic should not interact with the component's properties or invoke its methods until the BusyContext indicates that the component is ready for interaction.


Slots

JET components that allow child content support slots. Please see the slots section of the JET component overview doc for more information on allowed slot content and slot types.

itemTemplate

The itemTemplate slot is used to specify the template for creating items. The slot content must be a single <template> element.

When the template is executed for each area, it will have access to the tag cloud's binding context and the following properties:

  • $current - an object that contains information for the current item. (See the table below for a list of properties available on $current)
  • alias - if as attribute was specified, the value will be used to provide an application-named alias for $current.

The content of the template should only be one <oj-c-tag-cloud-item> element. See the oj-tag-cloud-item doc for more details.

Properties of $current:
Name Type Description
data D The data object of the current item.
index number The zero-based index of the current item.
key K The key of the current item.

highlight-match :"all"|"any"

The matching condition for the highlightedCategories option. By default, highlightMatch is 'all' and only items whose categories match all of the values specified in the highlightedCategories array will be highlighted.

Names
Item Name
Property selectionMode
Property change event selectionModeChanged
Property change listener attribute (must be of type function, see Events and Listeners for additional information.) on-selection-mode-changed

touch-response :"auto"|"touchStart"

Data visualizations require a press and hold delay before triggering tooltips and rollover effects on mobile devices to avoid interfering with page panning, but these hold delays can make applications seem slower and less responsive. For a better user experience, the application can remove the touch and hold \delay when data visualizations are used within a non scrolling container or if there is sufficient space outside of the visualization for panning. If touchResponse is touchStart the element will instantly trigger the touch gesture and consume the page pan events. If touchResponse is auto, the element will behave like touchStart if it determines that it is not rendered within scrolling content and if element panning is not available for those elements that support the feature.
