Element: <oj-color-palette>

Slots

JET elements can have up to two types of child content:

• Any child element with a slot attribute will be moved into that named slot, e.g. <span slot='startIcon'>...</span>. All supported named slots are documented below. Child elements with unsupported named slots will be removed from the DOM.
• Any child element lacking a slot attribute will be moved to the default slot, also known as a regular child.

contextMenu

The contextMenu slot is set on the oj-menu within this element. This is used to designate the JET Menu that this component should launch as a context menu on right-click, Shift-F10, Press & Hold, or component-specific gesture. If specified, the browser's native context menu will be replaced by the JET Menu specified in this slot.

The application can register a listener for the Menu's ojBeforeOpen event. The listener can cancel the launch via event.preventDefault(), or it can customize the menu contents by editing the menu DOM directly, and then calling refresh() on the Menu.

To help determine whether it's appropriate to cancel the launch or customize the menu, the ojBeforeOpen listener can use component API's to determine which table cell, chart item, etc., is the target of the context menu. See the JSDoc and demos of the individual components for details.

Keep in mind that any such logic must work whether the context menu was launched via right-click, Shift-F10, Press & Hold, or component-specific touch gesture.

Example

Initialize the component with a context menu:

<oj-some-element>
    <-- use the contextMenu slot to designate this as the context menu for this component -->
    <oj-menu slot="contextMenu" style="display:none" aria-label="Some element's context menu">
...
    </oj-menu>
</oj-some-element>

Attributes

(nullable) described-by :string

It is used to establish a relationship between this component and another element. Typically this is not used by the application developer, but by the oj-label custom element's code. One use case is where the oj-label custom element code writes described-by on its form component for accessibility reasons. To facilitate correct screen reader behavior, the described-by attribute is copied to the aria-describedby attribute on the component's dom element.

Examples

Initialize component with the described-by attribute specified:

<oj-some-element described-by="someId"></oj-some-element>

Get or set the describedBy property after initialization:

// getter
var descById = myComp.describedBy;

// setter
myComp.describedBy = "someId";

disabled :boolean

Whether the component is disabled. The default is false.

When the disabled property changes due to programmatic intervention, the component may clear messages and run validation in some cases.

• when a required component is initialized as disabled value="{{currentValue}}" required disabled, deferred validation is skipped.
• when a disabled component is enabled,
  • if component is invalid and showing messages then all component messages are cleared, and full validation run using the display value.
    • if there are validation errors, they are shown.
    • if no errors result from the validation, the value property is updated. Page authors can listen to the onValueChanged event to clear custom errors.
  • if component is valid and has no errors then deferred validation is run.
    • if there is a deferred validation error, then the valid property is updated.
  • if component is invalid and deferred errors then component messages are cleared and deferred validation re-run.
    • if there is a deferred validation error, then the valid property is updated.
• when enabled component is disabled then no validation is run and the component appears disabled.

Default Value:

• false

display-options :Object

Display options for auxilliary content that determines where it should be displayed in relation to the component.

The types of messaging content for which display options can be configured include converterHint, helpInstruction, messages, and validatorHint.
The display options for each type is specified either as an array of strings or a string. When an array is specified the first display option takes precedence over the second and so on.

When display-options changes due to programmatic intervention, the component updates its display to reflect the updated choices. For example, if 'help.instruction' property goes from 'notewindow' to 'none' then it no longer shows in the notewindow.

A side note: help.instruction and message detail text can include formatted HTML text, whereas hints and message summary text cannot. If you use formatted text, it should be accessible and make sense to the user if formatting wasn't there. To format the help.instruction, you could do this:

<html>Enter <b>at least</b> 6 characters</html>

Get or set the displayOptions property after initialization:

// Get one subproperty
var hint = myComp.displayOptions.converterHint;

// Set one, leaving the others intact. Use the setProperty API for 
// subproperties so that a property change event is fired.

help.instruction :string

Represents advisory information for the component, such as would be appropriate for a tooltip.

When help.instruction is present it is by default displayed in the notewindow, or as determined by the 'helpInstruction' property set on the displayOptions attribute. When the help.instruction property changes the component refreshes to display the updated information.

JET takes the help instruction text and creates a notewindow with the text. The help instruction only shows up as a tooltip on mouse over, not on keyboard and not in a mobile device. So help instruction would only be for text that is not important enough to show all users, or for text that you show the users in another way as well, like in the label. Also you cannot theme the native browser's title window like you can the JET notewindow, so low vision users may have a hard time seeing it. For these reasons, the JET EditableValue components do not use the HTML's title attribute.

To include formatted text in the help.instruction, format the string using html tags. For example the help.instruction might look like:

<oj-some-element help.instruction="<html>Enter <b>at least</b> 6 characters</html>"></oj-some-element>

If you use formatted text, it should be accessible and make sense to the user if formatting wasn't there.

messages-custom :Array.<Object>

List of messages an app would add to the component when it has business/custom validation errors that it wants the component to show. This allows the app to perform further validation before sending data to the server. When this option is set the message shows to the user right away. To clear the custom message, set messagesCustom back to an empty array.

(readonly) valid :string

PREVIEW: This is a preview API. Preview APIs are production quality, but can be changed on a major version without a deprecation path.

The current valid state of the component. It is evaluated on initial render. It is re-evaluated

• after validation is run (full or deferred)
• when messagesCustom is updated, since messagesCustom can be added by the app developer any time.
• when showMessages() is called. Since showMessages() moves the hidden messages into messages shown, if the valid state was "invalidHidden" then it would become "invalidShown".
• when the required property has changed. If a component is empty and has required set, the valid state may be "invalidHidden" (if no invalid messages are being shown as well). If required property is removed, the valid state would change to "valid".

Note: New valid states may be added to the list of valid values in future releases. Any new values will start with "invalid" if it is an invalid state, "pending" if it is pending state, and "valid" if it is a valid state.

Supported Values:

Name	Type	Description
"invalidHidden"	string	The component has invalid messages hidden and no invalid messages showing. An invalid message is one with severity "error" or higher.
"invalidShown"	string	The component has invalid messages showing. An invalid message is one with severity "error" or higher.
"pending"	string	The component is waiting for the validation state to be determined. The "pending" state is set at the start of the convert/validate process.

Events

ojAnimateEnd

Triggered when a default animation has ended.

Properties:

All of the event payloads listed below can be found under event.detail.

Name	Type	Description
action	string	The action that triggers the animation. Supported values are: "inline-open" - when an inline message container opens or increases in size "inline-close" - when an inline message container closes or decreases in size "notewindow-open" - when a note window opens "notewindow-close" - when a note window closes
element	Element	The element being animated.

Since:

• 4.0.0

Examples

Define an event listener for the ojAnimateEnd event to add any processing after the end of "inline-open" animation:

var listener = function( event )
{
  // Check if this is the end of "inline-open" animation for inline message
  if (event.detail.action == "inline-open") {
    // Add any processing here
  }
};

Specify an ojAnimateEnd listener via the DOM attribute:

<oj-color-palette on-oj-animate-end='[[listener]]'></oj-color-palette>

Specify an ojAnimateEnd listener via the JavaScript property:

myColorPalette.onOjAnimateEnd = listener;

Add an ojAnimateEnd listener via the addEventListener API:

myColorPalette.addEventListener('ojAnimateEnd', listener);

ojAnimateStart

Triggered when a default animation is about to start on an element owned by the component.

The default animation can be cancelled by calling event.preventDefault, followed by a call to event.detail.endCallback. event.detail.endCallback should be called immediately after event.preventDefault if the application merely wants to cancel animation, or it should be called when the custom animation ends if the application is invoking another animation function. Failure to call event.detail.endCallback may prevent the component from working properly.

For more information on customizing animations, see the documentation of oj.AnimationUtils.

The default animations are controlled via the theme (SCSS) :

// default animations for "notewindow" display option
$noteWindowOpenAnimation: (effect: "zoomIn", transformOrigin: "#myPosition") !default;
$noteWindowCloseAnimation: (effect: "none") !default;

// default animations for "inline" display option
$messageComponentInlineOpenAnimation: (effect: "expand", startMaxHeight: "#oldHeight") !default;
$messageComponentInlineCloseAnimation: (effect: "collapse", endMaxHeight: "#newHeight") !default;

Properties:

All of the event payloads listed below can be found under event.detail.

Name	Type	Description
action	string	The action that triggers the animation. Supported values are: "inline-open" - when an inline message container opens or increases in size "inline-close" - when an inline message container closes or decreases in size "notewindow-open" - when a note window opens "notewindow-close" - when a note window closes
element	Element	The element being animated.
endCallback	function():void	If the event listener calls event.preventDefault to cancel the default animation, it must call the endCallback function when it finishes its own animation handling and any custom animation has ended.

Since:

• 4.0.0

Examples

Define an event listener for the ojAnimateStart event to override the default "inline-open" animation:

var listener = function( event )
  {
    // Change the "inline-open" animation for inline message
    if (event.detail.action == "inline-open") {
      // Cancel default animation
      event.preventDefault();
      // Invoke new animation and call endCallback when the animation ends
      oj.AnimationUtils.fadeIn(event.detail.element).then(event.detail.endCallback);
    }
  };

Define an event listener for the ojAnimateStart event to cancel the default "notewindow-close" animation:

var listener = function( event )
  {
    // Change the "notewindow-close" animation for note window
    if (ui.action == "notewindow-close") {
      // Cancel default animation
      event.preventDefault();
      // Call endCallback immediately to indicate no more animation
      event.detail.endCallback();
  };

Specify an ojAnimateStart listener via the DOM attribute:

<oj-color-palette on-oj-animate-start='[[listener]]'></oj-color-palette>

Specify an ojAnimateStart listener via the JavaScript property:

myColorPalette.onOjAnimateStart = listener;

Add an ojAnimateStart listener via the addEventListener API:

myColorPalette.addEventListener('ojAnimateStart', listener);

Methods

getProperty(property) → {any}

Retrieves a value for a property or a single subproperty for complex properties.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
property	string	The property name to set. Supports dot notation for subproperty access.

Returns:

Type

any

Example

Get a single subproperty of a complex property:

var subpropValue = myComponent.getProperty('complexProperty.subProperty1.subProperty2');

refresh() → {void}

Called when the DOM underneath the component changes requiring a re-render of the component. An example is when the id for the input changes.

Another time when refresh might be called is when the locale for the page changes. When it changes, attributes used by its converter and validator that are locale specific, its hints, messages and translations will be updated.

When refresh method is called, the component may take various steps such as clearing messages, running validation etc., based on the state it is in.

Steps Performed Always

• The converter and validators used by the component are reset, and new converter and validator hints is pushed to messaging. E.g., notewindow displays the new hint(s).

Running Validation

• if component is valid when refresh() is called, the display value is refreshed if component has a converter set.
• if component is invalid and is showing messages when refresh() is called, then all component messages are cleared and full validation run using the display value on the component.
  • if there are validation errors, then value attribute is not updated and the error is shown.
  • if no errors result from the validation, the value attribute is updated; page author can listen to the onValueChanged event to clear custom errors.
