keyMapper - the DataKeyMapper used to fetch keys for items

Method Detail

generateData

public void generateData(T item,
                         elemental.json.JsonObject jsonObject)

Description copied from interface: DataGenerator

Adds custom data for the given item to its serialized JsonObject representation. This JSON object will be sent to client-side DataProvider.

Parameters:

item - the data item being serialized

jsonObject - the JSON object being sent to the client

createComponent

protected Component createComponent(T item)

Description copied from class: AbstractComponentDataGenerator

Creates a new component based on the provided item.

Specified by:

createComponent in class AbstractComponentDataGenerator<T>

Parameters:

item - the data item, possibly null

Returns:

a Component which represents the provided item

updateComponent

protected Component updateComponent(Component currentComponent,
                                    T item)

Description copied from class: AbstractComponentDataGenerator

Updates an existing component after the item has been updated. By default, it creates a new component instance via AbstractComponentDataGenerator.createComponent(Object).
