A widget that enables text completion.

Notes

The completer is intended to be absolutely positioned on the page and hover over any other content, so it should be attached directly to document.body, or a node that is the full size of document.body. Attaching it to other nodes may incorrectly locate the completer.

Get the DOM node owned by the widget.

The sanitizer used to sanitize untrusted HTML inputs.

Accessors

  • get dataset(): DOMStringMap
  • The dataset for the widget's DOM node.

    Returns DOMStringMap

  • get disposed(): ISignal<this, void>
  • A signal emitted when the widget is disposed.

    Returns ISignal<this, void>

  • get hiddenMode(): HiddenMode
  • Get the method for hiding the widget.

    Returns HiddenMode

  • set hiddenMode(value): void
  • Set the method for hiding the widget.

    Parameters

    • value: HiddenMode

    Returns void

  • get id(): string
  • Get the id of the widget's DOM node.

    Returns string

  • set id(value): void
  • Set the id of the widget's DOM node.

    Parameters

    • value: string

    Returns void

  • get isAttached(): boolean
  • Test whether the widget's node is attached to the DOM.

    Returns boolean

  • get isDisposed(): boolean
  • Test whether the widget has been disposed.

    Returns boolean

  • get isHidden(): boolean
  • Test whether the widget is explicitly hidden.

    Returns boolean

  • get isVisible(): boolean
  • Test whether the widget is visible.

    Notes

    A widget is visible when it is attached to the DOM, is not explicitly hidden, and has no explicitly hidden ancestors.

    Returns boolean

  • get layout(): null | Layout
  • Get the layout for the widget.

    Returns null | Layout

  • set layout(value): void
  • Set the layout for the widget.

    Notes

    The layout is single-use only. It cannot be changed after the first assignment.

    The layout is disposed automatically when the widget is disposed.

    Parameters

    • value: null | Layout

    Returns void

  • get parent(): null | Widget
  • Get the parent of the widget.

    Returns null | Widget

  • set parent(value): void
  • Set the parent of the widget.

    Notes

    Children are typically added to a widget by using a layout, which means user code will not normally set the parent widget directly.

    The widget will be automatically removed from its old parent.

    This is a no-op if there is no effective parent change.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • get title(): Title<Widget>
  • The title object for the widget.

    Notes

    The title object is used by some container widgets when displaying the widget alongside some title, such as a tab panel or side bar.

    Since not all widgets will use the title, it is created on demand.

    The owner property of the title is set to this widget.

    Returns Title<Widget>

  • get visibilityChanged(): ISignal<this, void>
  • A signal emitted when the completer widget's visibility changes.

    Notes

    This signal is useful when there are multiple floating widgets that may contend with the same space and ought to be mutually exclusive.

    Returns ISignal<this, void>

Methods

  • Cycle through the available completer items.

    Notes

    When the user cycles all the way down to the last index, subsequent down cycles will cycle to the first index. When the user cycles up to the first item, subsequent up cycles will cycle to the last index.

    Parameters

    • direction: scrollType

    Returns void

  • Get item width heuristic function from renderer if available, or the default one otherwise.

    Returns ((item) => number)

  • Populate the completer up to the longest initial subset of items.

    Returns boolean

    true if a subset match was found and populated.

  • Post an 'activate-request' message to the widget.

    Notes

    This is a simple convenience method for posting the message.

    Returns void

  • Add a class name to the widget's DOM node.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The class name to add to the node.

      Notes

      If the class name is already added to the node, this is a no-op.

      The class name must not contain whitespace.

    Returns void

  • Create an iterator over the widget's children.

    Returns IterableIterator<Widget>

    A new iterator over the children of the widget.

    Notes

    The widget must have a populated layout in order to have children.

    If a layout is not installed, the returned iterator will be empty.

  • Clear the given widget flag.

    Notes

    This will not typically be called directly by user code.

    Parameters

    • flag: Flag

    Returns void

  • Send a 'close-request' message to the widget.

    Notes

    This is a simple convenience method for sending the message.

    Returns void

  • Test whether a widget is a descendant of this widget.

    Parameters

    • widget: Widget

      The descendant widget of interest.

    Returns boolean

    true if the widget is a descendant, false otherwise.

  • Post a 'fit-request' message to the widget.

    Notes

    This is a simple convenience method for posting the message.

    Returns void

  • Handle the DOM events for the widget.

    Parameters

    • event: Event

      The DOM event sent to the widget.

      Notes

      This method implements the DOM EventListener interface and is called in response to events on the dock panel's node. It should not be called directly by user code.

    Returns void

  • Test whether the widget's DOM node has the given class name.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The class name of interest.

    Returns boolean

    true if the node has the class, false otherwise.

  • Hide the widget and make it hidden to its parent widget.

    Notes

    This causes the isHidden property to be true.

    If the widget is explicitly hidden, this is a no-op.

    Returns void

  • Invoke the message processing routine of the widget's layout.

    Parameters

    • msg: Message

      The message to dispatch to the layout.

      Notes

      This is a no-op if the widget does not have a layout.

      This will not typically be called directly by user code.
