Class Completer

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.

Type aliases

Static TypeMap

TypeMap: object

A type map that may add type annotations to completer matches.

Type declaration

  • [index: string]: string

Constructors

constructor

  • new Completer(options: IOptions): Completer
  • Construct a text completer menu widget.

    Parameters

    • options: IOptions

    Returns Completer

Properties

Private _activeIndex

_activeIndex: number = 0

Private _editor

_editor: IEditor | null = null

Private _model

_model: IModel | null = null

Private _renderer

_renderer: IRenderer | null = null

Private _resetFlag

_resetFlag: boolean = false

Private _selected

_selected: Signal<this, string> = new Signal<this, string>(this)

Private _visibilityChanged

_visibilityChanged: Signal<this, void> = new Signal<this, void>(this)

dataset

dataset: DOMStringMap

The dataset for the widget's DOM node.

disposed

disposed: ISignal<this, void>

A signal emitted when the widget is disposed.

id

id: string

Set the id of the widget's DOM node.

isAttached

isAttached: boolean

Test whether the widget's node is attached to the DOM.

isDisposed

isDisposed: boolean

Test whether the widget has been disposed.

isHidden

isHidden: boolean

Test whether the widget is explicitly hidden.

isVisible

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.

layout

layout: Layout | null

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.

node

node: HTMLElement

Get the DOM node owned by the widget.

parent

parent: Widget | null

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.

title

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.

Static defaultRenderer

defaultRenderer: Renderer = new Renderer()

The default IRenderer instance.

Accessors

editor

  • get editor(): IEditor | null
  • set editor(newValue: IEditor | null): void
  • The editor used by the completion widget.

    Returns IEditor | null

  • The editor used by the completion widget.

    Parameters

    • newValue: IEditor | null

    Returns void

model

  • get model(): IModel | null
  • set model(model: IModel | null): void
  • The model used by the completer widget.

    Returns IModel | null

  • The model used by the completer widget.

    Parameters

    Returns void

selected

  • get selected(): ISignal<this, string>

    Returns ISignal<this, string>

visibilityChanged

  • 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>
