Properties

Name	Description	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.	-	-
`align`	Used by Et2Box to determine alignment. Allowed values are left, right	`string`	-
`autofocus`	Have browser focus this input on load. Overrides etemplate2.focusOnFirstInput(), use only once per page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#attributes	`boolean`	-
`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`	-
`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`
`dom_id`	Get the actual DOM ID, which has been prefixed to make sure it’s unique.	`string`	-
`emptyLabel`	Textual label for first row, eg: ‘All’ or ‘None’. It’s value will be ″	`String`	`""`
`hasFeedbackFor`	Get a list of feedback types	`string[]`	-
`hidden`	The widget is not visible. As far as the user is concerned, the widget does not exist. Widgets hidden with an attribute in the template may not be created in the DOM, and will not return a value. Widgets can be hidden after creation, and they may return a value if hidden this way.	`boolean`	-
`id`	Get the ID of the widget	`string`	-
`label`	The label of the widget Legacy support for labels with %s that get wrapped around the widget Not the best way go with webComponents - shouldn’t modify their DOM like this	`string`	-
`leafOnly`	If true, only leafs (NOT folders) are selectable	`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`	-
`select_options`	Select box options Will be found automatically based on ID and type, or can be set explicitly in the template using	`SelectOption[]`	-
`statustext`	Tooltip which is shown for this element on hover	`string`	-
`styles`	WebComponent *	-	-
`translate`	List of properties that get translated	-	-
`_optionRenderPromise`	When we create the select option elements, it takes a while. If we don’t wait for them, it causes issues in SlSelect	`Promise`	-
`_optionTargetNode`	Get the node where we’re putting the options If this were a normal selectbox, this would be just the	`HTMLElement`	-
`needed`	Compatibility for deprecated name “needed” use required instead	-	-
`options`	Get property-values as object use widget methods	`object`	-
`readOnly`	Lion mapping true	-	-
`supportedWidgetClasses`	et2_widget compatability Legacy compatability. Some legacy widgets check their parent to see whats allowed	`array`	`[]`
`updateComplete`	A read-only promise that resolves when the component has finished updating.

Methods

Name	Description	Arguments
`blur()`	Removes focus from the control.	-
`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:`
`deleteItem()`	deleteItem, deletes an item by id	`_id: , _selectParent:`
`et2HandleBlur()`	If the value is unchanged, put any held validation messages back Named et2HandleBlur to avoid overwriting handleBlur() in Shoelace components	`_ev: FocusEvent`
`et2HandleFocus()`	When input receives focus, clear any validation errors. If the value is the same on blur, we’ll put them back The ones from the server (ManualMessage) can interfere with submitting. Named et2HandleFocus to avoid overwriting handleFocus() in Shoelace components	`_ev: FocusEvent`
`findActionTarget()`	returns the closest SlTreeItem to the click position, and the corresponding EgwActionObject	`_event:`
`focus()`	Sets focus on the control.	`options: FocusOptions`
`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	-
`getInputNode()`	Get input to e.g. set aria-attributes	-
`getInstanceManager()`	Returns the instance manager	-
`getLabel()`	getLabel, gets the Label of of an item by id	`_id:`
`getNode()`	return the Item with given _id, was called getDomNode(_id) in dhtmlxTree	`_id: string`
`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	-
`getSelectedLabel()`	getSelectedLabel, retrieves the Label of the selected Item	-
`getSelectedNode()`	getSelectedNode, retrieves the full node of the selected Item	-
`getTreeNodeOpenItems()`	getTreeNodeOpenItems	`_nodeID: string, mode: string`
`handleDragEvent()`	Handle drag events from inside the shadowRoot events get re-targeted to the tree as they bubble, and action can’t tell the difference between leaves inside the shadowRoot	`event:`
`handleSelectionChange()`	Handle a change in selected items	`event:`
`hasChildren()`	hasChildren	`_id:`
`isValid()`	Used by etemplate2 to determine if we can submit or not	`messages:`
`loadFromXML()`	Load extra stuff from the template node. In particular, we’re looking for any	`_node: Element`
`loadingFinished()`	Needed for legacy compatability.	`promises: Promise[]`
`openItem()`	Open an item, which might trigger lazy-loading	`_id: string, string:`
`optionSearch()`	Search options for a given value, returning the first matching option	`value: string, options: SelectOption[], searchKey: string, childKey: string`
`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`
`refreshItem()`	Updates a leaf of the tree by requesting new information from the server using the autoloading attribute.	`_id: string, data: Object`
`reSelectItem()`	reSelectItem, reselects an item by id	`_id:`
`scrollToItem()`	scroll to item with given id make sure all parents of the item are expanded else scroll will fail	`_id: string`
`scrollToSelected()`	scrolls to the (first) selected slTreeItem into view this function delays, if not all parents of the item are expanded	-
`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`
`setClass()`	manipulate the classes of a tree item this sets the class property of the item (just like php might set it). This triggers the class attribute of the sl-tree-item to be set mode ”=” remove all classes and set only the given one mode ”+” add the given class mode ”-” remove the given class	`_id: string, _className: string, _mode: '=' \| '+' \| '-'`
`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`
`setLabel()`	set the text of item with given id to new label	`_id: , _label: , _tooltip:`
`setStyle()`	Does nothing	`_id: , _style:`
`setSubChecked()`	Set or unset checkbox of given node and all it’s children based on given value	`_id: string, _value: boolean\|"toggle"`
`styleTemplate()`	Overridable, add style	-
`submit()`	Called whenever the template gets submitted. We return false if the widget is not valid, which cancels the submission.	`_values:`
`validate()`	Massively simplified validate, as compared to what ValidatorMixin gives us, since ValidatorMixin extends FormControlMixin which breaks SlSelect’s render() We take all validators for the widget, and if there’s a value (or field is required) we check the value with each validator. For array values we check each element with each validator. If the value does not pass the validator, we collect the message and display feedback to the user. We handle validation errors from the server with ManualMessages, which always “fail”. If the value is empty, we only validate if the field is required.	`skipManual:`
`_emptyLabelTemplate()`	Render the “empty label”, used when the selectbox does not currently have a value	-
`_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:`
`_labelTemplate()`	Common sub-template to add a label. This goes inside the form control wrapper div, before and at the same depth as the input controls.	-
`_oldChange()`	Change handler calling custom handler set via onchange attribute	`_ev: Event`
`_optionTemplate()`	Render a single option Override this method to specify how to render each option. In a normal selectbox, this would be something like: <option value="${option.value}" title="${option.title}" ?selected=${option.value == this.modelValue}> ${option.label} </option>`; but you can do whatever you need. To use a different WebComponent, just use its tag instead of “option”. We should even be able to pass the whole SelectOption across `<special-option .value=${option}></special-option>`	`selectOption: TreeItemData`
`_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`
`_setAriaAttributes()`	Set aria-attributes on our input node	-
`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. Widgets that are hidden from the server via attribute or $readonlys will not be created. Widgets that are disabled from the server will not return a value to the application code.	`value: boolean`
`set_select_options()`	Set select options assign to select_options	`new_options: SelectOption[] \| { [key : string] : string }[]`
`set_statustext()`	supports legacy set_statustext use this.statustext	`value: string`
