AbstractBeanColumn<VALUE> [message #1751291]

Hi there,

I'm just fooling around with an AbstractBeanColumn<VALUE> in a table and I'm wondering how I can get a display text based on VALUE.getName() shown in the corresponding column?

Is the getPlainText(ITableRow row) the right mehtod to override or is there something else I have to use?

Because overriding getPlainText() leaves the column/cells still empty.

Thanks in advance.

Peter

The getPlainText() method is just provided for an alternative text representation of the value (e.g. for exports).

Basically for the AbstractBeanColumn it is expected to implement a custom java script rendering within the java script code. This creates a powerful solution to render practically every bean value.

For example to display the name attribute of your bean the java script column code could be similar to:

scout.ExampleBeanColumn = function() {
  scout.ExampleBeanColumn.parent.call(this);
};
scout.inherits(scout.ExampleBeanColumn, scout.BeanColumn);

scout.ExampleBeanColumn.prototype._renderValue = function($cell, value) {
  $cell.appendElement('<h1>')
    .text(value.name)
    .addClass('example-bean-name-attribute-css');
};
