ModelList Class

Uses
Extends Base
Defined in: app/js/model-list.js:9
Module: model-list
Parent Module: app

Available since 3.4.0

Provides an API for managing an ordered list of Model instances.

In addition to providing convenient add, create, reset, and remove methods for managing the models in the list, ModelLists are also bubble targets for events on the model instances they contain. This means, for example, that you can add several models to a list, and then subscribe to the *:change event on the list to be notified whenever any model in the list changes.

ModelLists also maintain sort order efficiently as models are added and removed, based on a custom comparator function you may define (if no comparator is defined, models are sorted in insertion order).

Constructor

ModelList

(
  • config
)

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:9

Available since 3.4.0

Parameters:

  • config Object

    Config options.

    • items Model | Model[] | ModelList | Object | Object[]

      Model instance, array of model instances, or ModelList to add to this list on init. The add event will not be fired for models added on init.

Methods

_add

(
  • model
  • [options]
)
Model protected

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:917

Adds the specified model if it isn't already in this list.

If the model's clientId or id matches that of a model that's already in the list, an error event will be fired and the model will not be added.

Parameters:

  • model Model | Object

    Model or object to add.

  • [options] Object optional

    Data to be mixed into the event facade of the add event for the added model.

    • [silent=false] Boolean optional

      If true, no add event will be fired.

Returns:

Model:

The added model.

_addAttrs

(
  • cfgs
  • values
  • lazy
)
private

Inherited from AttributeCore: attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:854

Implementation behind the public addAttrs method.

This method is invoked directly by get if it encounters a scenario in which an attribute's valueFn attempts to obtain the value an attribute in the same group of attributes, which has not yet been added (on demand initialization).

Parameters:

  • cfgs Object

    An object with attribute name/configuration pairs.

  • values Object

    An object with attribute name/value pairs, defining the initial values to apply. Values defined in the cfgs argument will be over-written by values in this argument unless defined as read only.

  • lazy Boolean

    Whether or not to delay the intialization of these attributes until the first call to get/set. Individual attributes can over-ride this behavior by defining a lazyAdd configuration property in their configuration. See addAttr.

_addLazyAttr

(
  • name
  • [lazyCfg]
)
private

Inherited from AttributeCore: attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:360

Finishes initializing an attribute which has been lazily added.

Parameters:

  • name Object

    The name of the attribute

  • [lazyCfg] Object optional

    Optional config hash for the attribute. This is added for performance along the critical path, where the calling method has already obtained lazy config from state.

_addOutOfOrder

(
  • name
  • cfg
)
private

Inherited from AttributeCore: attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:527

Utility method used by get/set to add attributes encountered out of order when calling addAttrs().

For example, if:

this.addAttrs({
     foo: {
         setter: function() {
            // make sure this bar is available when foo is added
            this.get("bar");
         }
     },
     bar: {
         value: ...
     }
});

Parameters:

  • name String

    attribute name

  • cfg Object

    attribute configuration

_afterIdChange

(
  • e
)
protected

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:1162

)
Object private

Inherited from BaseCore: base/js/BaseCore.js:618

A helper method, used by _initHierarchyData to aggregate attribute configuration across the instances class hierarchy.

Parameters:

  • allAttrs Array

    An array of ATTRS definitions across classes in the hierarchy (subclass first, Base last)

Returns:

Object:

The aggregate set of ATTRS definitions for the instance

_attachList

    First value to compare.

  • b Mixed

    Second value to compare.

Returns:

Number:

addAttr

(
  • name
  • config
  • lazy
)
Object chainable

Inherited from AttributeCore: attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:157

Adds an attribute with the provided configuration to the host object.

The config argument object supports the following properties:

value <Any>
The initial value to set on the attribute
valueFn <Function | String>

A function, which will return the initial value to set on the attribute. This is useful for cases where the attribute configuration is defined statically, but needs to reference the host instance ("this") to obtain an initial value. If both the value and valueFn properties are defined, the value returned by the valueFn has precedence over the value property, unless it returns undefined, in which case the value property is used.

valueFn can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used to retrieve the value.

readOnly <boolean>
Whether or not the attribute is read only. Attributes having readOnly set to true cannot be modified by invoking the set method.
writeOnce <boolean> or <string>
Whether or not the attribute is "write once". Attributes having writeOnce set to true, can only have their values set once, be it through the default configuration, constructor configuration arguments, or by invoking set.

The writeOnce attribute can also be set to the string "initOnly", in which case the attribute can only be set during initialization (when used with Base, this means it can only be set during construction)

setter <Function | String>

The setter function used to massage or normalize the value passed to the set method for the attribute. The value returned by the setter will be the final stored value. Returning Attribute.INVALID_VALUE, from the setter will prevent the value from being stored.

setter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the setter function.

getter <Function | String>

The getter function used to massage or normalize the value returned by the get method for the attribute. The value returned by the getter function is the value which will be returned to the user when they invoke get.

getter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the getter function.

validator <Function | String>

The validator function invoked prior to setting the stored value. Returning false from the validator function will prevent the value from being stored.

validator can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the validator function.

lazyAdd <boolean>
Whether or not to delay initialization of the attribute until the first call to get/set it. This flag can be used to over-ride lazy initialization on a per attribute basis, when adding multiple attributes through the addAttrs method.

The setter, getter and validator are invoked with the value and name passed in as the first and second arguments, and with the context ("this") set to the host object.

Configuration properties outside of the list mentioned above are considered private properties used internally by attribute, and are not intended for public use.

Parameters:

  • name String

    The name of the attribute.

  • config Object

    An object with attribute configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration for the attribute.

    NOTE: The configuration object is modified when adding an attribute, so if you need to protect the original values, you will need to merge the object.

  • lazy Boolean

    (optional) Whether or not to add this attribute lazily (on the first call to get/set).

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

addAttrs

(
  • cfgs
  • values
  • lazy
)
Object chainable

Inherited from AttributeCore: attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:823

Configures a group of attributes, and sets initial values.

NOTE: This method does not isolate the configuration object by merging/cloning. The caller is responsible for merging/cloning the configuration object if required.

Parameters:

  • cfgs Object

    An object with attribute name/configuration pairs.

  • values Object

    An object with attribute name/value pairs, defining the initial values to apply. Values defined in the cfgs argument will be over-written by values in this argument unless defined as read only.

  • lazy Boolean

    Whether or not to delay the intialization of these attributes until the first call to get/set. Individual attributes can over-ride this behavior by defining a lazyAdd configuration property in their configuration. See addAttr.

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

addTarget

(
  • o
)
chainable

Inherited from EventTarget: event-custom/js/event-facade.js:496

before

()

Inherited from EventTarget: event-custom/js/event-target.js:849

Executes the callback before a DOM event, custom event or method. If the first argument is a function, it is assumed the target is a method. For DOM and custom events, this is an alias for Y.on.

)
Number | String

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:271

Define this method to provide a function that takes a model as a parameter and returns a value by which that model should be sorted relative to other models in this list.

By default, no comparator is defined, meaning that models will not be sorted (they'll be stored in the order they're added).

Parameters:

  • model Model

    Model being sorted.

Returns:

Number | String:

Value by which the model should be sorted relative to other models in this list.

Example:

var list = new Y.ModelList({model: Y.Model});

list.comparator = function (model) {
    return model.get('id'); // Sort models by id.
};

create

  • [thisObj]
)
chainable

Inherited from ArrayList but overwritten in app/js/model-list.js:343

Available since 3.6.0

Executes the supplied function on each model in this list.

By default, the callback function's this object will refer to the model currently being iterated. Specify a thisObj to override the this object if desired.

Note: Iteration is performed on a copy of the internal array of models, so it's safe to delete a model from the list during iteration.

Parameters:

  • callback Function

    Function to execute on each model.

    • model Model

      Model instance.

    • index Number

      Index of the current model.

Available since 3.5.0

Executes the supplied function on each model in this list. Returns an array containing the models for which the supplied function returned a truthy value.

The callback function's this object will refer to this ModelList. Use Y.bind() to bind the this object to another object if desired.

Parameters:

  • [options] Object optional

    Filter options.

    • [asList=false] Boolean optional

      If truthy, results will be returned as a new ModelList instance rather than as an array.

  • callback Function

    Function to execute on each model.

    • model Model

      Model instance.

    • index Number

      Index of the current model.

    • list ModelList

      The ModelList being filtered.

Example:

// Get an array containing only the models whose "enabled" attribute is
// truthy.
var filtered = list.filter(function (model) {
    return model.get('enabled');
});

// Get a new ModelList containing only the models whose "enabled"
// attribute is truthy.
var filteredList = list.filter({asList: true}, function (model) {
    return model.get('enabled');
});

fire

(
  • type
  • arguments
)
Boolean

Inherited from EventTarget: event-custom/js/event-target.js:673

Fire a custom event by name. The callback functions will be executed from the context specified when the event was created, and with the following parameters.

The first argument is the event type, and any additional arguments are passed to the listeners as parameters. If the first of these is an object literal, and the event is configured to emit an event facade, that object is mixed into the event facade and the facade is provided in place of the original object.

If the custom event object hasn't been created, then the event hasn't been published and it has no subscribers. For performance sake, we immediate exit in this case. This means the event won't bubble, so if the intention is that a bubble target be notified, the event must be published on this object first.

Parameters:

  • type String | Object

    The type of the event, or an object that contains a 'type' property.

  • arguments Object*

    an arbitrary set of parameters to pass to the handler. If the first of these is an object literal and the event is configured to emit an event facade, the event facade will replace that parameter after the properties the object literal contains are copied to the event facade.

Returns:

Boolean:

True if the whole lifecycle of the event went through, false if at any point the event propagation was halted.

modifyAttr

(
  • name
  • config
)

Inherited from AttributeExtras: attribute/js/AttributeExtras.js:40

Updates the configuration of an attribute which has already been added.

The properties which can be modified through this interface are limited to the following subset of attributes, which can be safely modified after a value has already been set on the attribute:

readOnly;
writeOnce;
broadcast; and
getter.

Note: New attributes cannot be added using this interface. New attributes must be added using addAttr, or an appropriate manner for a class which utilises Attributes (e.g. the ATTRS property in Base).

Parameters:

  • name String

    The name of the attribute whose configuration is to be updated.

  • config Object

    An object with configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration properties to modify.

on

(
  • type
  • fn
  • [context]
  • [arg*]
)
EventHandle

Inherited from EventTarget: event-custom/js/event-target.js:188

Subscribe a callback function to a custom event fired by this object or from an object that bubbles its events to this object.

 this.on("change", this._onChange, this);

Callback functions for events published with emitFacade = true will receive an EventFacade as the first argument (typically named "e"). These callbacks can then call e.preventDefault() to disable the behavior published to that event's defaultFn. See the EventFacade API for all available properties and methods. Subscribers to non-emitFacade events will receive the arguments passed to fire() after the event name.

To subscribe to multiple events at once, pass an object as the first argument, where the key:value pairs correspond to the eventName:callback.

 this.on({
     "attrChange" : this._onAttrChange,
     "change"     : this._onChange
 });

You can also pass an array of event names as the first argument to subscribe to all listed events with the same callback.

 this.on([ "change", "attrChange" ], this._onChange);

Returning false from a callback is supported as an alternative to calling e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation();. However, it is recommended to use the event methods whenever possible.

Parameters:

  • type String

    The name of the event

  • fn Function

    The callback to execute in response to the event

  • [context] Object optional

    Override this object in callback

  • [arg*] Any optional

parse

(
  • response
)
Object[]

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:642

Called to parse the response when the list is loaded from the server. This method receives a server response and is expected to return an array of model attribute hashes.

The default implementation assumes that response is either an array of attribute hashes or a JSON string that can be parsed into an array of attribute hashes. If response is a JSON string and either Y.JSON or the native JSON object are available, it will be parsed automatically. If a parse error occurs, an error event will be fired and the model will not be updated.

You may override this method to implement custom parsing logic if necessary.

Parameters:

  • response Any

    Server response.

Returns:

Object[]:

Array of model attribute hashes.

    An object with attributes name/value pairs.

  • [opts] Object optional

    Optional data providing the circumstances for the change.

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

size

() Integer

Inherited from ArrayList: collection/js/arraylist.js:106

How many items are in this list?

Returns:

Integer:

Number of items in the list

some

(
  • callback
  • [thisObj]
)
Boolean

Inherited from ArrayList but overwritten in app/js/model-list.js:770

Available since 3.6.0

Executes the supplied function on each model in this list, and stops iterating if the callback returns true.

By default, the callback function's this object will refer to the model currently being iterated. Specify a thisObj to override the this object if desired.

Note: Iteration is performed on a copy of the internal array of models, so it's safe to delete a model from the list during iteration.

Parameters:

  • callback Function

    Function to execute on each model.

    • model Model

      Model instance.

    • index Number

      Index of the current model.

    • list ModelList

      The ModelList being iterated.

  • [thisObj] Object optional

    Object to use as the this object when executing the callback.

Returns:

Boolean:

true if the callback returned true for any item, false otherwise.

sort

(
  • [options]
)
chainable

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:807

Forcibly re-sorts the list.

Usually it shouldn't be necessary to call this method since the list maintains its sort order when items are added and removed, but if you change the comparator function after items are already in the list, you'll need to re-sort.

Parameters:

  • [options] Object optional

    Data to be mixed into the event facade of the reset event.

    • [silent=false] Boolean optional

      If true, no reset event will be fired.

    • [descending=false] Boolean optional

      If true, the sort is performed in descending order.

subscribe

() deprecated

Inherited from EventTarget: event-custom/js/event-target.js:346

Deprecated: use on

subscribe to an event

sync

(
  • action
  • [options]
  • [callback]
)

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:850

Override this method to provide a custom persistence implementation for this list. The default method just calls the callback without actually doing anything.

This method is called internally by load() and its implementations relies on the callback being called. This effectively means that when a callback is provided, it must be called at some point for the class to operate correctly.

Parameters:

  • action String

    Sync action to perform. May be one of the following:

    • create: Store a list of newly-created models for the first time.
    • delete: Delete a list of existing models.
    • read : Load a list of existing models.

    • update: Update a list of existing models.

      Currently, model lists only make use of the read action, but other actions may be used in future versions.

  • [options] Object optional

    Sync options. It's up to the custom sync implementation to determine what options it supports or requires, if any.

  • [callback] Function optional

    Called when the sync operation finishes.

    • err Error

      If an error occurred, this parameter will contain the error. If the sync operation succeeded, err will be falsy.

    • [response] Any optional

      The server's response. This value will be passed to the parse() method, which is expected to parse it and return an array of model attribute hashes.

toArray

() Model[]

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:888

Returns an array containing the models in this list.

Returns:

Model[]:

Array containing the models in this list.

toJSON

() Object[]

Inherited from ArrayList but overwritten in app/js/model-list.js:898

Returns an array containing attribute hashes for each model in this list, suitable for being passed to Y.JSON.stringify().

Under the hood, this method calls toJSON() on each model in the list and pushes the results into an array.

Returns:

Object[]:

Array of model attribute hashes.

toString

() String

Inherited from BaseCore: base/js/BaseCore.js:815

Default toString implementation. Provides the constructor NAME and the instance guid, if set.

Returns:

String:

String representation for this object

unsubscribe

() deprecated

Inherited from EventTarget: event-custom/js/event-target.js:469

Deprecated: use detach

detach a listener

unsubscribeAll

(
  • type
)
deprecated

Inherited from EventTarget: event-custom/js/event-target.js:490

Deprecated: use detachAll

Removes all listeners from the specified event. If the event type is not specified, all listeners from all hosted custom events will be removed.

Parameters:

  • type String

    The type, or name of the event

Properties

_allowAdHocAttrs

Boolean protected

Inherited from BaseCore: base/js/BaseCore.js:155

This property controls whether or not instances of this class should allow users to add ad-hoc attributes through the constructor configuration hash.

AdHoc attributes are attributes which are not defined by the class, and are not handled by the MyClass._NON_ATTRS_CFG

Default: undefined (false)

_isYUIModelList

Boolean protected

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:161

Available since 3.5.0

Total hack to allow us to identify ModelList instances without using instanceof, which won't work when the instance was created in another window or YUI sandbox.

Default: true

model

Model | String

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:142

The Model class or subclass of the models in this list.

The class specified here will be used to create model instances automatically based on attribute hashes passed to the add(), create(), and reset() methods.

You may specify the class as an actual class reference or as a string that resolves to a class reference at runtime (the latter can be useful if the specified class will be loaded lazily).

Default: Y.Model

name

String deprecated

Inherited from BaseCore: base/js/BaseCore.js:297

Deprecated: Use this.constructor.NAME

The string used to identify the class of this object.

Attributes

destroyed

Boolean readonly

Default: false

Fires event destroyedChange

Fires when the value for the configuration attribute destroyed is changed. You can listen for the event using the on method if you wish to be notified before the attribute's value has changed, or using the after method if you wish to be notified after the attribute's value has changed.

Parameters:

  • e EventFacade

      If setting a property within the attribute's value, the name of the sub-attribute property being set.

initialized

Boolean readonly

Inherited from BaseCore: base/js/BaseCore.js:198

Flag indicating whether or not this object has been through the init lifecycle phase.

Default: false

Fires event initializedChange

Fires when the value for the configuration attribute initialized is changed. You can listen for the event using the on method if you wish to be notified before the attribute's value has changed, or using the after method if you wish to be notified after the attribute's value has changed.

Parameters:

  • e EventFacade
    An Event Facade object with the following attribute-specific properties added:
    • prevVal Any
      The value of the attribute, prior to it being set.

Events

add

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:37

Fired when a model is added to the list.

Listen to the on phase of this event to be notified before a model is added to the list. Calling e.preventDefault() during the on phase will prevent the model from being added.

Listen to the after phase of this event to be notified after a model has been added to the list.

Event Payload:

  • model Model

    The model being added.

  • index Number

    The index at which the model will be added.

create

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:54

Available since 3.5.0

Fired when a model is created or updated via the create() method, but before the model is actually saved or added to the list. The add event will be fired after the model has been saved and added to the list.

Event Payload:

  • model Model

    The model being created/updated.

destroy

Inherited from BaseObservable: base/js/BaseObservable.js:163

Lifecycle event for the destroy phase, fired prior to destruction. Invoking the preventDefault method on the event object provided to subscribers will prevent destruction from proceeding.

Subscribers to the "after" moment of this event, will be notified after destruction is complete (and as a result cannot prevent destruction).

Event Payload:

error

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:65

Fired when an error occurs, such as when an attempt is made to add a duplicate model to the list, or when a sync layer response can't be parsed.

Event Payload:

  • error Any

    Error message, object, or exception generated by the error. Calling toString() on this should result in a meaningful error message.

  • src String

    Source of the error. May be one of the following (or any custom error source defined by a ModelList subclass):

    • add: Error while adding a model (probably because it's already in the list and can't be added again). The model in question will be provided as the model property on the event facade.
    • parse: An error parsing a JSON response. The response in question will be provided as the response property on the event facade.
    • remove: Error while removing a model (probably because it isn't in the list and can't be removed). The model in question will be provided as the model property on the event facade.

init

Inherited from BaseObservable: base/js/BaseObservable.js:62

Lifecycle event for the init phase, fired prior to initialization. Invoking the preventDefault() method on the event object provided to subscribers will prevent initialization from occuring.

Subscribers to the "after" momemt of this event, will be notified after initialization of the object is complete (and therefore cannot prevent initialization).

Event Payload:

  • e EventFacade

    Event object, with a cfg property which refers to the configuration object passed to the constructor.

load

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:87

Available since 3.5.0

Fired after models are loaded from a sync layer.

Event Payload:

  • parsed Object

    The parsed version of the sync layer's response to the load request.

  • response Mixed

    The sync layer's raw, unparsed response to the load request.

remove

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:99

Fired when a model is removed from the list.

Listen to the on phase of this event to be notified before a model is removed from the list. Calling e.preventDefault() during the on phase will prevent the model from being removed.

Listen to the after phase of this event to be notified after a model has been removed from the list.

Event Payload:

  • model Model

    The model being removed.

  • index Number

    The index of the model being removed.

reset

Defined in app/js/model-list.js:116

Fired when the list is completely reset via the reset() method or sorted via the sort() method.

Listen to the on phase of this event to be notified before the list is reset. Calling e.preventDefault() during the on phase will prevent the list from being reset.

Listen to the after phase of this event to be notified after the list has been reset.

Event Payload:

  • models Model[]

    Array of the list's new models after the reset.

  • src String

    Source of the event. May be either 'reset' or 'sort'.
