aps/Tiles is a container for aps/Tile and aps/tiles/PieTile as well as for other widgets used to present a set of objects. The aps/Tile and aps/tiles/PieTile widgets can be placed only inside an aps/Tiles container.

Find the nested rules for this widget in the recommended Widget Hierarchy.

Structure¶

The aps/Tiles container can embed widgets declared explicitly or basing on a data source that can be an aps/ResourceStore or aps/Memory module.

Use the store property to refer to the data source. To bind a child widget with the data source, use the dojox/mvc/at module.

It is possible to enable users to add child objects to the container dynamically.

You can include aps/Tiles, instead of the legacy aps/ActiveList, inside the aps/ListSwitcher widget.

Grid Size Specifics¶

All aps/Tile widgets inside aps/Tiles get the gridSize property. A gridSize is a string containing few options with number values (from 1 to 12) separated by spaces that specify the grid size of the widget in various layouts:

“md” (Middle dimension) - layout for desktop computers
“xs” (eXtra Small) - layout for phones

For example:

gridSize: "md-4 xs-2".<br/>

In a case a specified grid size goes out of the 1-12 range, it is justified as follows:

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

Groups of Properties¶

For the complete list of properties, refer to Public Properties. The tables below contain only some of the container specific properties.

Layout Properties¶

The following properties provide general information about embedded child objects and influence their visualization.

PROPERTY	TYPE	DEFAULT	DESCRIPTION
`title`	String	“”	Title shown on top of the container.
`description`	String	“”	Text that is shown in the header, but smaller than the title.

Selection Properties¶

It is possible to enable selection of child objects or even require selection.

PROPERTY	TYPE	DEFAULT	DESCRIPTION
`selectionMode`	String: `"single"` or `"multiple"`	“”	Specifies if only one (`"single"`) or more than one (`"multiple"`) objects can be selected. If the property is not defined, the selection is disabled.
`required`	Boolean	`false`	Selection is required (`true`) or optional (`false`).
`missingMessage`	String	“”	Message displayed if selection is required but the selection array is empty. For example, the array was emptied by an event handler.
`selectionArray`	Stateful array	Empty stateful array	Contains IDs of the selected objects. Sample code for watching updates: `tiles.get("selectionArray").watchElements(function(){ ... })`

Note

If you make a group of tiles selectable, all buttons defined inside the tiles will be hidden, thus protecting the UI from incorrect user experience. It is also not recommended to add any input elements inside such tiles, since the latter are designed for selection only.

store	aps/store	null	An instance of the “aps/Store” model, from which to fetch data.
title	string	“”	Text that is shown in the header.
visible	boolean	true	If this property value is set to true, then the widget is visible.

currentPage number¶

Number of the current page. Default value: 1.

description string¶

Text that is shown in the header, but smaller than the title. Default value: “”.

disabled boolean¶

Specifies if the widget will respond to user input.

Default value: false.

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, e.g. “md-0”, will be replaced with the empty string (“”), values above 12, e.g. “md-14”, will be reduced to 12 (“md-12”).

Default value: undefined.

isBusy boolean¶

If the widget is busy then this property is true.

Default value: false.

itemsPerPage number¶

Quantity of items to show on a given page. Default value: 10.

label string¶

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

Default value: “”.

missingMessage string¶

The message to display if selection is empty and is required. The translated string value is read from the message file by default. Default value: “This selection is required.”

noDataText string¶

Shown if the answer of the server is empty. The default value is “No data”.

required boolean¶

If true then at least one tile should be selected, otherwise validation will fail. Default value: false.

selectionArray array¶

StatefulArray of the ids of selected tiles. Default value: null.

selectionMode string¶

If you want to mark tiles, you can specify this property. Supported values: “single” and “multiple”. single - user can mark only one tile. multiple - user can mark many tiles. Default value: “”.

store aps/store¶

An instance of the “aps/Store” model, from which to fetch data. Default value: null.

title string¶

Text that is shown in the header. Default value: “”.

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)
cancel ()	object	Sets the isBusy property to false
destroy ()	undefined	Destroys this widget
focus ()	aps/_containerbase function	Focusing the focusable 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
refresh ()	undefined	Redrawis the set of tiles
removeAll ()	undefined	Remove all children in the widget and make selectionArray empty
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 ()	undefined	Gets started after the DOM fragment is added to the document
validate ()	undefined boolean	Called by oninit, onblur, and onkeypress

addChild¶

ARGUMENT	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
`child`	undefined
`insertIndex`	undefined	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 the focusable child

Return: aps/_containerbase function

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

refresh¶

Redrawis the set of tiles. Redraws the set of tiles to present the current data in the Store.

Return: undefined

removeAll¶

Remove all children in the widget and make selectionArray empty. Calls “destroy” on all tiles and their descendants.

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¶

Gets started after the DOM fragment is added to the document Called after the widget and its children have been created and added to the page, and all related widgets have finished their create() cycle, up through postCreate().

Note that startup() may be called while the widget is still hidden, for example if the widget is inside a hidden dijit/Dialog or an unselected tab of a dijit/layout/TabContainer. For widgets that need to do layout, it’s best to put that layout code inside resize(), and then extend dijit/layout/_LayoutWidget so that resize() is called when the widget is visible.

Return: undefined

validate¶

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

Return: undefined boolean

Public Events ¶

EVENT	RETURN	DESCRIPTION
onClick ()	undefined	The method is called when a user clicks on the widget

onClick¶
