FieldControl extends AbstractNode
Field controls are additional HTML on a single element level that are typically shown right aside the main element HTML.
They are restricted to only allow an icon as output.
The "link popup" button next to the input field of a renderType "inputLink" is an example of such an additional control.
The element itself must position any field controls at an appropriate place. For instance the "group" element shows them in a row vertically, while others display single controls next to each other.
Table of Contents
Properties
- $data : array<string|int, mixed>
- Main data array to work on, given from parent to child elements
- $defaultFieldControl : array<string|int, mixed>
- A list of default field controls added to the element / container.
- $defaultFieldInformation : array<string|int, mixed>
- A list of default field information added to the element / container.
- $defaultFieldWizard : array<string|int, mixed>
- A list of default field wizards added to the element / container.
- $nodeFactory : NodeFactory
- Instance of the node factory to create sub elements, container and single element expansions.
Methods
- __construct() : mixed
- Set data to data array and register node factory to render sub elements
- render() : array<string|int, mixed>
- Order the list of field wizards to be rendered with the ordering service, then call each wizard element through the node factory and merge their results.
- getLanguageService() : LanguageService
- getValidationDataAsJsonString() : string
- Build JSON string for validations rules.
- initializeResultArray() : array<string|int, mixed>
- Initialize the array that is returned to parent after calling. This structure is identical for *all* nodes. Parent will merge the return of a child with its own stuff and in itself return an array of the same structure.
- mergeChildReturnIntoExistingResult() : array<string|int, mixed>
- Merge existing data with a child return array.
