ObjectHandler<T>

Defined in: js-api/ui.ts:1636

Override the corresponding methods, and register an instance to let Datagrok know how to handle objects of the specified type.

isApplicable is used to associate an object with the handler. When handling an object x, the platform uses the first registered handler that claims that it is applicable to that object.

TODO: search, destructuring to properties

Parameter	Type	Default value
x	T	undefined
context	any	null

Returns

HTMLElement

---

renderGrid()

renderGrid(grid, options?): void

Defined in: js-api/ui.ts:1764

Customizes a Grid presenting a collection of this handler's objects IN PLACE: column order/visibility, captions, cell renderers, interactivity. options.items is the DataFrame backing the grid when the caller wants the handler to tag or (re)bind it; when omitted, operate on grid.dataFrame.

Contract: derive presentation from column tags/semTypes only — the frame may be a pure data frame (e.g. a queryDf result) with NO hidden ~item object column; never assume one. Interactivity that needs the object goes through the semType renderer/context machinery.

Dispatch: OVERRIDING this member takes FULL responsibility for grid decoration of the built-in views (e.g. the Domain View grid). Any handler that does not override it — including one written against this version of the API — falls through to the platform meta for type, from EITHER side: the Dart dispatch skips the sentinel-marked base (see below), and the base itself delegates, so ObjectHandler.forEntity(x).renderGrid(grid) decorates exactly like the platform. To opt out of decoration entirely, override it with an empty body.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
grid	Grid
options?	{ items?: DataFrame; }
options.items?	DataFrame

Returns

void

---

renderIcon()

renderIcon(x, context?): HTMLElement

Defined in: js-api/ui.ts:1692

Renders icon for the item.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default value
x	T	undefined
context	any	null

Returns

HTMLElement

---

renderInput()

renderInput(x, context?): InputBase<any> | null

Defined in: js-api/ui.ts:1725

Renders an input for the item (e.g. to be used in forms); null when the handler does not define one.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default value
x	T	undefined
context	any	null

Returns

InputBase<any> | null

---

renderListItem()

renderListItem(x, context?): HTMLDivElement

Defined in: js-api/ui.ts:1719

Renders the item as a list item — used when displaying objects in lists (such as wide html grids, or popups in type-ahead boxes). By default, renders the item's name.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default value
x	T	undefined
context	any	null

Returns

HTMLDivElement

---

renderMarkup()

renderMarkup(x, context?): HTMLElement

Defined in: js-api/ui.ts:1702

Renders markup for the item. [context] says what the item is being rendered FOR, so one handler can serve several surfaces. The platform's many-to-many chips pass {relation, table, input: 'tags'} — the relation's name, the OWNER's '<schema>.<table>', and the widget kind. A chip's DG.DomainRow is a {id, displayName} stub with no column values, so read its name through getCaption(x) / x.displayName — x.values[nameColumn] is undefined there.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default value
x	T	undefined
context	any	null

Returns

HTMLElement

---

renderPreview()

renderPreview(x, params?, path?): Promise<View>

Defined in: js-api/ui.ts:1735
