LCARS.element.prototype

Basic Setup

Every element/widget starts out with the same core structure. Provided are all the base data points, unique ID generation, set, get and global settings overrides. Easily extend this structure to provide additional functionality.

//Setup LCARS Base Element Prototype Object
LCARS.element.blank = function(oDef) {
    //Begin Required
    this.data = {
        type: 'blank',
        id: oDef.id || 'blankSID' + Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, 9)
    }

    this.receiver = {};
    this.event = {};
    this.broadcast = {};
    this.delete = {};
    this.dom = this.create(oDef);

    LCARS.active[this.data.id] = this;

    for (var prop in oDef) {
        this.data[prop] = oDef[prop];
    }

    for (var prop in oDef) {
        if (typeof this.setting[prop] === 'function') {
            this.setting[prop](this, oDef[prop]);
        } else if (typeof LCARS.setting[prop] === 'function') {
            LCARS.setting[prop](this, oDef[prop]);
        }
    }

    return LCARS.active[this.data.id];
    //End Required
};

LCARS.element.blank.prototype = {
    //Required.  Create DOM element and base class
    create: function(oDef) {
        if (oDef.href !== undefined) {
            var element = $('<a id="' + this.data.id + '" class="blank"></a>');
        } else {
            var element = $('<div id="' + this.data.id + '" class="blank"></div>');
        }
        return element;
    },
    //Overide global settings
    setting: {
        dummy: function(object, value) {
            if (value === null) {
                object.dom.removeClass(value);
                object.data.test = null;
            } else if (typeof value === 'string') {
                object.dom.addClass(value);
                object.data.test = value;
            }
            return true;
        }

    },
    //Required. Set Value by Setting Name | Ignores ID & Type
    set: function(setting, value) {
        if (setting !== 'id' && setting !== 'type') {
            if (typeof this.setting[setting] === 'function') {
                return this.setting[setting](this, value);
            } else if (typeof LCARS.setting[setting] === 'function') {
                return LCARS.setting[setting](this, value);
            } else {
                this.data[setting] = value;
                return true
            }
        }
    },
    //Required.
    get: function(setting) {
        return this.data[setting];
    }
};
