File items show files that have been or are being uploaded with a FileUpload

Examples

Closable

Add the closable attribute to show a close button that will hide the file.

uploaded_file.ext
<et2-file-item image="file-arrow-up" closable>uploaded_file.ext</et2-file-item>

File size

Set the size attribute in bytes to display the file’s size.

uploaded_file.ext
<et2-file-item image="file-arrow-up" size="123455678" >uploaded_file.ext</et2-file-item>

Loading & Progress

Set the loading attribute to indicate action on the file. Set progress to show progress.

uploaded_file.ext uploaded_file.ext
<et2-file-item image="file-arrow-up" loading>uploaded_file.ext</et2-file-item>
<et2-file-item image="file-arrow-up" loading progress="35">uploaded_file.ext</et2-file-item>

Variants

Use the variant attribute to set the file item’s variant.

Default Primary Success Neutral Warning Danger
<et2-file-item image="file-arrow-up" variant="default">Default</et2-file-item>
<et2-file-item image="file-arrow-up" variant="primary">Primary</et2-file-item>

Properties

Name Description Reflects Type Default
accesskey Accesskey provides a hint for generating a keyboard shortcut for the current element. The attribute value must consist of a single printable character. string -
actions Set Actions on the widget Each action is defined as an object: move: { type: “drop”, acceptedTypes: “mail”, icon: “move”, caption: “Move to” onExecute: javascript:mail_move” } This will turn the widget into a drop target for “mail” drag types. When “mail” drag types are dropped, the global function mail_move(egwAction action, egwActionObject sender) will be called. The ID of the dragged “mail” will be in sender.id, some information about the sender will be in sender.context. The etemplate2 widget involved can typically be found in action.parent.data.widget, so your handler can operate in the widget context easily. The location varies depending on your action though. It might be action.parent.parent.data.widget To customise how the actions are handled for a particular widget, override _link_actions(). It handles the more widget-specific parts. object -
align Used by Et2Box to determine alignment. Allowed values are left, right string -
class CSS Class. This class is applied to the outside, on the web component itself. Due to how WebComponents work, this might not change anything inside the component. string -
closable Makes the item closable (removable). boolean false
data Set the dataset from a CSV string -
deferredProperties
Any attribute that refers to row content cannot be resolved immediately, but some like booleans cannot stay a string because it’s a boolean attribute. We store them for later, and parse when they’re fully in their row. If you are creating a widget that can go in a nextmatch row, and it has boolean attributes that can change for each row, add those attributes into deferredProperties - -
disabled Defines whether this widget is visibly disabled. The widget is still visible, but clearly cannot be interacted with. Widgets disabled in the template will not return a value to the application code, even if re-enabled via javascript before submitting. To allow a disabled widget to be re-enabled and return a value, disable via javascript in the app’s et2_ready() instead of an attribute in the template file. boolean false
display Different ways of displaying the item. Large for a few files, small is like a tag, list is for several files "large" | "small" | "list" "large"
dom_id
Get the actual DOM ID, which has been prefixed to make sure it’s unique. string -
hidden Indicates whether the file item is hidden. boolean false
id
Get the ID of the widget string -
image The file’s thumbnail image string ""
label The label of the widget This is usually displayed in some way. It’s also important for accessability. This is defined in the parent somewhere, and re-defining it causes labels to disappear string -
loading Draws the item in a loading state. boolean false
noLang Disable any translations for the widget boolean -
parentId Parent is different than what is specified in the template / hierarchy. Widget ID of another node to insert this node into instead of the normal location string -
progress The current progress, 0 to 100. Only used if loading property is true. number -
size The size of the file in bytes as a read-only 64-bit integer. number -
statustext Tooltip which is shown for this element on hover string -
styles
WebComponent * - -
value A unique value to store in the item. This can be used as a way to identify items. string ""
variant The item’s theme variant. "default" | "primary" | "success" | "neutral" | "warning" | "danger" "default"
options
Get property-values as object

Methods

Name Description Arguments
checkCreateNamespace() Checks whether a namespace exists for this element in the content array. If yes, an own perspective of the content array is created. If not, the parent content manager is used. Constructor attributes are passed in case a child needs to make decisions -
clone() Creates a copy of this widget. _parent: et2_widget
createElementFromNode() Create a et2_widget from an XML node. First the type and attributes are read from the node. Then the readonly & modifications arrays are checked for changes specific to the loaded data. Then the appropriate constructor is called. After the constructor returns, the widget has a chance to further initialize itself from the XML node when the widget’s loadFromXML() method is called with the node. _node: , _name:
getArrayMgr() Returns the array manager object for the given part managed_array_type: string
getArrayMgrs() Returns an associative array containing the top-most array managers. _mgrs: object
getChildren() Get child widgets Use .children to get web component children -
getInstanceManager() Returns the instance manager -
getPath() Returns the path into the data array. By default, array manager takes care of this, but some extensions need to override this -
getRoot() Returns the base widget Usually this is the same as getInstanceManager().widgetContainer -
loadFromXML() Loads the widget tree from an XML node _node:
loadingFinished() Needed for legacy compatability. promises: Promise[]
parseXMLAttrs() The parseXMLAttrs function takes an XML DOM attributes object and adds the given attributes to the _target associative array. This function also parses the legacyOptions. N.B. This is only used for legacy widgets. WebComponents use transformAttributes() and do their own handling of attributes. _attrsObj: , _target: object, _proto: et2_widget
set_label() NOT the setter, since we cannot add to the DOM before connectedCallback() TODO: This is not best practice. Should just set property, DOM modification should be done in render https://lit-element.polymer-project.org/guide/templates#design-a-performant-template value: string
setArrayMgr() Sets the array manager for the given part _part: string, _mgr: object
setArrayMgrs() Sets all array manager objects - this function can be used to set the root array managers of the container object. _mgrs: object
setInstanceManager() Set the instance manager Normally this is not needed as it’s set on the top-level container, and we just return that reference manager: etemplate2
_get_action_links() Get all action-links / id’s of 1.-level actions from a given action object This can be overwritten to not allow all actions, by not returning them here. actions:
_handleClick() Click handler calling custom handler set via onclick attribute to this.onclick _ev: MouseEvent
_link_actions() Link the actions to the DOM nodes / widget bits. actions: object
_set_label() Do some fancy stuff on the label, splitting it up if there’s a %s in it Normally called from updated(), the “normal” setter stuff has already been run before this is called. We only override our special cases (%s) because the normal label has been set by the parent value: string
destroy() et2_widget compatability
true
-
set_class() Set the widget class
Use this.class or this.classList instead
new_class: string
set_disabled() Wrapper on this.disabled because legacy had it.
Use widget.disabled for visually disabled, widget.hidden for visually hidden. Disabled vs Readonly vs Hidden
value: boolean
set_statustext() supports legacy set_statustext
use this.statustext
value: string
