Instance properties

$options

An object containing the full options of the instance as defined in the config.options property. Additionnally to the options defined in the config, the following properties are also available:

• $options.name The name of the component
• $options.log Wether the $log method is silent or not
• $options.debug Wether the debug is active on this instance or not

The values for the $options object are read from and written to the data-option-<option-name> attribute of the root element.

TIP

Boolean options with true as a default value can be negated with a data-option-no-<option-name> attribute.

$refs

An object containing references to all the component's refs, with each key being the name of the ref, and each value either the DOM element or a list of DOM elements.

interface RefsInterface {
  readonly [refName: string]: HTMLElement | Base | HTMLElement[] | Base[];
}

Refs are resolved with the selector data-ref="<refName>" within the component's scope. Refs of children components are excluded, even if the child has not been registered via the config.components object.

TIP

You can force a ref to be an Array even when only one corresponding element exists in the DOM by appending [] to its name:

<ul>
  <li data-ref="item[]"></li>
</ul>

$children

An object containing references to all the children component instances, with each key being the name of the child component, and each value a list of its corresponding instances.

interface ChildrenInterface {
  readonly [ComponentName: string]: Array<Base>;
}

$parent

The parent instance when the current instance has been mounted as a child component, defaults to null if the component as been instantiated as a stand-alone component.

$root

The root instance of the application when the current instance has been mounted as a child component. Defaults to a self reference if the component is stand-alone.

$services

A Service instance to manage the scrolled, resized, ticked, moved, keyed services hooks.

The following methods are available:

• has(service: string): boolean: test if the current component instance has the service method defined and if it is currently enabled
• enable(service: string): () => void: enable the given service if the current component instance has the service method defined, returns a function to disable the service
• disable(service: string): void: disable the given service
• toggle(service: string, force?: boolean): void: toggle the given service
• get(service: string): any: get the props of the given service
• enableAll(): Array<() => void>: enable all services which are defined
• disableAll(): void: disable all services

Example

class Component extends Base {
  static config = {
    name: 'Component',
    refs: ['btn'],
  };

  onBtnClick() {
    if (!this.$services.has('ticked')) {
      this.$services.enable('ticked');
    } else {
      this.$services.disable('ticked');
    }
  }

  ticked() {
    // Do something on each frame...
  }
}
