Overview

Structure

The aps/Tile widget can contain various other widgets. Unlike other containers, its size is limited, and it is not recommended to place too many widgets and/or complex widgets.

Service State Presentation

An application makes its aps/Tile widgets branded by means of the following set of properties mentioned in the Public Properties section:

• backgroundColor
• backgroundImage
• iconName
• fontColor

Often, a tile visualizes the current state of a bound service by means of the state property. When all of the branding properties are presented in a tile definition, the tile anyway will look differently depending on its state:

The table below explains the default presentation and typical actions.

state	Usage	Visual elements	Typical actions
inactive	Presents a service for potential subscribers.	Non-active properties: - Child widgets Active properties: - Branding properties - Only one button for an action	Promotes a new service to customers using the serviceDescription and status for the promo text. On a click, changes the state to inProgress and forwards the customer to the service purchase process.
inProgress	Intermediate service state.	Non-active properties: - Branding properties, except for the icon - Child widgets Active properties: - serviceDescription and the icon	Temporary placeholder to indicate a background process, usually is not available for a click. On completion of the process changes the tile state to one of: | - inactive in a case of failure | - ready in a case of success
ready	The service is provisioned to the customer.	Non-active properties: - serviceDescription Active properties: - Child widgets - Branding properties - status - Several buttons for actions	Uses child widgets to show the current service usage against the service limit. Uses buttons to start various actions on the service.

It is possible to change the default presentation by setting the properties directly for a certain state, for example:

onClick: function () {
         this.set( 'state', 'inProgress' );
         this.set( 'serviceDescription', 'Privisioning text here' );
         this.set( 'backgroundImage', 'image-name.png');
}

The APS JS framework scales and cuts the background image in accordance with the composition rules as the following image illustrates:

                             with the same set of properties as mentioned above.
                             This toolbar is available when a user clicks on
                             the top level button where the toolbar is defined. */

disabled boolean

Specifies if the widget will respond to user input.

Default value: false.

fontColor string

Color of the text in the Tile in HEX format, for example, “#001122” Default value: “”.

gridSize string

This specifies the widget width that is relevant only for widgets inside Container, FieldSet, or Tiles. In other cases it will be ignored.

gridSize string contains few options with number values (from 1 to 12) separated by spaces, which specify the grid size of the widget in different layouts:

- md - desktop

- xs - phone

For example, gridSize: “md-4 xs-2”.

All values below 1, for example, “md-0”, will be replaced with the empty string (“”), values above 12, for example, “md-14”, will be reduced to 12 (“md-12”).

Default value: “md-4 xs-12”.

iconName string

iconName - the path to the file from the project root, for example, “images/image.png”. Default value: “”.

iconRightCornerClass string

Class used by the DOMNode to display an icon in its right corner. Default value: “”.

info null

This is an ``aps/Status`` widget displayed near the title. Example:

["aps/Tile", {title: "Tile title", info: new Status({useIcon: false}), gridSize: 'md-12' }]

Default value: null.

isBusy boolean

If the widget is busy then this property is true.

Default value: false.

label string

Text that is shown as a label if the widget is placed inside a aps/FieldSet.

Default value: “”.

onClick function

Callback method activated when a user clicks on the Tile body. Default value: undefined.

serviceDescription string

Textual description to be displayed as a small greyed text above the progress bar (only for “inactive” and “inProgress” states, see “state” property). Default value: “”.

state string

Influences the tile visualization to represent a bound service state as the Service State Presentation section explains. The value can be one of the following. “ready” - the service is provisioned and ready to use. “inProgress” - the service provisioning is in progress. “inactive”` - the service is inactive. Default value: “”.

useOriginalIcon boolean

Defines whether tile icon will be transformed (greyscale, invert) or original colors will be used. Default value: false.

visible boolean

If this property value is set to true, then the widget is visible.

Default value: true.

Public Methods

METHOD	RETURN	DESCRIPTION
addChild (child, insertIndex)	undefined	Makes the given widget a child of this widget
cancel ()	object	Sets the isBusy property to false
destroy ()	undefined	Destroys this widget
focus ()	aps/_tile	Focusing on the focusNode of the first suitable child
get ()	any	Get a property of the Stateful instance
getChildren ()	array	Returns all direct children of this widget, i
getParents ()	array	Discover and return all parents of the widget
placeAt ()	dijit/_widgetbase function	Place this widget somewhere in the DOM based on standard dojo/dom-construct::place() conventions
removeAll ()	undefined	Remove all children in the widget
removeChild (widget)	undefined	Removes the passed widget instance from this widget and destroys it
reset ()	undefined	Resets the widget
set ()	object function	Set a property of the Stateful instance
startup ()
validate ()	boolean	Called by oninit, onblur, and onkeypress

addChild

Makes the given widget a child of this widget. Inserts specified child widget’s dom node as a child of this widget’s container node, and possibly does other processing (such as layout).

Return: undefined

ARGUMENT	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
child	Widget	Child widget
insertIndex	Number String	Position child in the parent widget

cancel

Sets the isBusy property to false.

Return: object

destroy

Destroys this widget. Will also destroy any resources (including widgets) registered via this.own(). This method will also destroy internal widgets such as those created from a template.

Return: undefined

focus

Focusing on the focusNode of the first suitable child

Return: aps/_tile

get

Get a property of the Stateful instance. Get a named property of the Stateful object. The property may potentially be retrieved via a getter method in subclasses.

In the base class, this just retrieves the object’s property.

Return: any

getChildren

Returns all direct children of this widget, i.e. all widgets underneath this.containerNode whose parent is this widget. Note that it returns not all descendetns, but only the direct children. Analogous to Node.childNodes, except containing widgets rather than DOMNodes.

The result intentionally excludes internally created widgets (a.k.a. supporting widgets) outside of this.containerNode.

Note the returned array is a simple array. The application code should not assume existence of methods like forEach().

Return: array

getParents

Discover and return all parents of the widget.

Return: array

placeAt

Place this widget somewhere in the DOM based on standard dojo/dom-construct::place() conventions. A convenience function providing a simple shorthand mechanism to put an existing (or newly created) widget somewhere in the DOM, and allow chaining.

Return: dijit/_widgetbase function

removeAll

Remove all children in the widget.

Return: undefined

removeChild

Removes the passed widget instance from this widget and destroys it. You can also pass in an integer indicating the index within the container to remove (ie, removeChild(5) removes the sixth widget).

Return: undefined

ARGUMENT	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
widget	Widget Int	Child widget or index

reset

Resets the widget.

Return: undefined

set

Set a property of the Stateful instance. Sets named properties of the stateful object and notifies the watchers of the property. A programmatic setter may be defined in subclasses.

Return: object function

startup

validate

Called by oninit, onblur, and onkeypress. Show missing or invalid messages if appropriate, and highlight textbox field.

Return: boolean
