Vfs Name Readonly

<et2-vfs-name_ro> | Et2VfsNameReadonly

Read-only VFS file name. Everything it does comes from VfsFileMixin - the only difference to the editable widget is the Et2Description base.

When to use it

et2-vfs-name_ro is the read-only file-name column in a filemanager listing: it shows the basename of a VFS file, and clicking it opens the file.

It is et2-vfs-name with an et2-description base instead of a textbox. Everything else - the row binding, the path decoding, the click-to-open behaviour - is shared between the two, so use this one wherever the name is not meant to be edited.

<et2-vfs-name_ro id="vfsnamero-basic"></et2-vfs-name_ro>
<script>
	customElements.whenDefined("et2-vfs-name_ro").then(() =>
	{
		document.getElementById("vfsnamero-basic").value = {
			path: "/home/demo/Quarterly report.pdf",
			name: "Quarterly report.pdf",
			mime: "application/pdf"
		};
	});
</script>

Value

Like the editable widget, it binds to the whole row rather than to a string:

<et2-vfs-name_ro id="$row"></et2-vfs-name_ro>

See Et2VfsName: Value for the row shape and the path encoding rules, which are identical here.

Description

Name Description
accesskey Accesskey provides a hint for generating a keyboard shortcut for the current element. The attribute value must consist of a single printable character.
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.
activateLinks Scan the value, and if there are any links (URL, mailto:) then wrap them in a clickable tag
align Used by Et2Box to determine alignment. Allowed values are left, right
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.
data Set the dataset from a CSV
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.
dom_id Get the actual DOM ID, which has been prefixed to make sure it’s unique.
extraLinkPopup widthxheight, if popup should be used, eg. 640x480
extraLinkTarget Extra link target Goes with href. If provided, that’s the target for opening the link.
full Take every column of a layout, the same as span="all". Boolean rather than a bare marker so it can be driven from content the way the rest of the template can - full="@is_wide" resolves through the array manager like any other boolean attribute. That does mean it needs a value: write full="true", since an empty full="" resolves to false and removes the attribute again. Reflects for the same reason grow does.
grow How much of a layout’s leftover space this widget should take. Only means anything inside a container that has a layout (see Et2LayoutController): a bare grow or grow="1" takes an equal share of whatever the non-growing children left over, grow="2" takes twice what a grow="1" sibling does. It has to reflect. The layout stylesheet matches the [grow] attribute - CSS cannot see a property - and transformAttributes() only calls setAttribute() for an attribute the element already carries or a property declared as reflecting. Widgets built from a .xet are created with document.createElement() and handed their attributes as an object, so they carry none at that point: without this declaration grow="1" lands as an inert JS property and nothing in the layout ever matches it.
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.
href Link URL If provided, will be clickable and open this URL
id Get the ID of the widget
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
LINK_STYLES_ID Id of the
