API overview

Root methods and properties

There are a few methods and properties that are available for all nodes and controls, and that are defined in the RootNode abstract class:

• get id - returns instance's identifier
• get name - returns instance's name given to it during the creation
• get invisible- returns an information about instance's visiblity
• set invisible - specifies instance's visiblity status
• get disabled - returns an information about instance's disability
• get properties - returns instance's internal state object (without the id property)
• rename(name) - updates instance's name
• show - show's the instance if it's invisible
• hide - hide's the instance if it's visible
• disable - disables the instance
• enable - enables the instance
• setListener - an abstract method defined individually on each class. It lets the user to define global/local listener function.

Node methods and propeties

There are also a few methods and properties that are available for nodes (such as Panel, Section and Node) only:

• get collapsed - returns an information about instance's collapsed property
• open - sets collapsed property to false
• close - sets collapsed property to true
• toggle - toggles collapsed property

Panel methods and properties

• get position - returns PanelPosition object
• setPosition(position) sets new panel position
• setListener(listener) sets global change listener on the panel
• destroy - clears panel's registry and listeners list, removes its element from the parentElement (usually document.body) and performs Object.freeze on its state and on the panel instance itself
• remove(name) - removes first node with given name from the panel (this method works on the section's scope too)
• removeById(id) - removes node with given id from the panel (this method works in the section's scope too)
• removeAll removes all controls and nodes from the panel
• control(control, options) creates new control
• section(options) creates new section node
• set config - loads panel's children using provided config object (setter)
• get config - returns panel's current config object. Returned config object will always consist of controls'/nodes' identifiers as the keys

Section and Slot properties

• control(control, options) creates new control
• set config - loads section's children using provided config object (setter)
• get config - returns section's current config object. Returned config object will always consist of controls' identifiers as the keys
• remove(name) - removes first node with given name from the section
• removeById(id) - removes node with given id from the section
• removeAll removes all controls and nodes from the section
• setListener(listener) sets local change listener

Common control's methods and properties

• get readonly - informs if the control is readonly or not
• set readonly - sets control's readonly property
