Pan Li commented on FLEX-35224:
-------------------------------
The three components I was trying to create for paging:
1 The model with page is very straight forward.
2 To filter the records in "current page", it looks like the only layer between
actual data provider to UI controls is in DataItemRendererFactoryForArrayList:
{code}
protected function dataProviderChangeHandler(event:Event):void
{
var dp:IArrayList = dataProviderModel.dataProvider as
IArrayList;
if (!dp)
return;
dataGroup.removeAllElements();
var listView:IListView =
_strand.getBeadByType(IListView) as IListView;
var presentationModel:IListPresentationModel =
_strand.getBeadByType(IListPresentationModel) as IListPresentationModel;
var n:int = dp.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
{
var ir:ISelectableItemRenderer =
itemRendererFactory.createItemRenderer(dataGroup) as ISelectableItemRenderer;
dataGroup.addElement(ir);
if (presentationModel) {
UIBase(ir).height =
presentationModel.rowHeight;
// ensure that the IR spans the width
of its column
var style:SimpleCSSStyles = new
SimpleCSSStyles();
style.right = 0;
style.left = 0;
UIBase(ir).style = style;
}
setData(ir, dp.getItemAt(i), i);
var newEvent:ItemRendererEvent = new
ItemRendererEvent(ItemRendererEvent.CREATED);
newEvent.itemRenderer = ir;
dispatchEvent(newEvent);
}
IEventDispatcher(_strand).dispatchEvent(new
Event("itemsCreated"));
}
{code}
I can get it work for my purpose to create a new
DataItemRendererFactoryForArrayList
but one problem: the rendererfactory is a relative complex class, and it uses
lots of implementation details of default DataGrid
3 the buttons to switch pages
I didn't find a good place to create the extra buttons for the UI, if I create
a new "bead" and let it to add buttons for "strand", then I can't ensure that
the code of buttons is added after all datagrid UI is created. Should I just
create another DataView? It surely works but is there easy solution?
in summary I could have finish it following your suggestion, but my problems
are
1 it looks like there is no obvious "bead" to filter data list, the
rendererfactory calls the raw data directly
2 there is no obvious place to create extra UI components for the control
it make the code more complex and easy to be break if DataGrid's code is
updated.
we had requested other features on filtering data grid data:
sorting on fields
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-35222
and filtering on fields (not in jira now),
the both have very similar issues when implemented as FlexJS SDK extensions.
Was I doing it wrong way? do you have more suggestion?
What if I implement these features by a custom FlexJS control which composite
several existing controls like someone would do in other frameworks, for
example a paging datagrid only needs a DataGrid and 4 buttons. I spend 2-3
hours to create a working stub, it is pure FlexJS code (instead of FlexJS SDK
code). Is it not encouraged to composite controls to implement extensions?
