Method Detail

setListValueByIndex

public static void setListValueByIndex(elemental.dom.Element htmlNode,
                                       String path,

                                       elemental.json.JsonValue newValue)

Sets new value for list element for specified htmlNode.

Parameters:

htmlNode - node to call set method on

path - polymer model path to property

listIndex - list index to set element into

newValue - new value to be set at desired index

splice

public static void splice(elemental.dom.Element htmlNode,
                          String path,
                          int startIndex,
                          int deleteCount,
                          elemental.json.JsonArray itemsToAdd)

Calls Polymer splice method on specified htmlNode. Splice call is made via apply method in order to force the method to treat itemsToAdd as numerous parameters, not a single one.

Parameters:

htmlNode - node to call splice method on

path - polymer model path to property

startIndex - start index of a list for splice operation

deleteCount - number of elements to delete from the list after startIndex

itemsToAdd - elements to add after startIndex

storeNodeId

public static void storeNodeId(elemental.dom.Node domNode,
                               int id,
                               String path)

Store the StateNode.id into the polymer property under 'nodeId'

Parameters:

domNode - polymer dom node

id - id of a state node

path - polymer model path to property

createModelTree

public static elemental.json.JsonValue createModelTree(Object object)

Makes an attempt to convert an object into json.

Parameters:

object - the object to convert to json

Returns:

json from object, null for null

isPolymerElement

public static boolean isPolymerElement(elemental.dom.Element htmlNode)

Checks whether the htmlNode is a polymer 2 element.

Parameters:

htmlNode - HTML element to check

Returns:

true if the htmlNode is a polymer element

mayBePolymerElement

@Deprecated
public static boolean mayBePolymerElement(elemental.dom.Element htmlNode)

Deprecated. This is not in use anywhere and can be removed

Checks whether the htmlNode can turn into polymer 2 element later.

Lazy loaded dependencies can load Polymer later than the element itself gets processed by the Flow. This method helps to determine such elements.

Parameters:

htmlNode - HTML element to check

Returns:

true if the htmlNode can become a polymer 2 element

searchForElementInShadowRoot

@Deprecated
public static elemental.dom.Node searchForElementInShadowRoot(elemental.dom.ShadowRoot shadowRoot,
                                                                          String cssQuery)

Deprecated. This is not in use anywhere and can be removed

Get first element by css query in the shadow root provided.

Parameters:

shadowRoot - shadow root element

cssQuery - css query

Returns:

first element matching the query or null for no matches

getElementInShadowRootById

@Deprecated
public static elemental.dom.Node getElementInShadowRootById(elemental.dom.ShadowRoot shadowRoot,
                                                                        String id)

Deprecated. This is not in use anywhere and can be removed

Get the element by id from the shadow root provided.

Parameters:

shadowRoot - shadow root element

id - element id

Returns:

the element with id provided or null for no matches

Find the DOM element inside shadow root of the shadowRootParent.

Parameters:

shadowRootParent - the parent whose shadow root contains the element with the id

id - the identifier of the element to search for

Returns:

the element with the given id inside the shadow root of the parent
