dijit/_editor/plugins/FontChoice (version 1.10)

dijit/_editor/_Plugin

Summary

This plugin provides three drop downs for setting style in the editor (font, font size, and format block), as controlled by command.

The commands provided by this plugin are:

plugins="['fontName','fontSize',...]"

It is possible to override the default dropdown list by providing an Array for the custom property when instantiating this plugin, e.g.

plugins="[{name:'dijit._editor.plugins.FontChoice', command:'fontName', values:['Verdana','Myriad','Garamond']},...]"

Alternatively, for fontName only, generic:true may be specified to provide a dropdown with CSS generic font families.

Note that the editor is often unable to properly handle font styling information defined outside the context of the current editor instance, such as pre-populated HTML.

Usage

var foo = new FontChoice(args);
dijit/_editor/_Plugin
Parameter Type Description
args Object
Optional

Initial settings for any of the attributes.

See the dijit/_editor/plugins/FontChoice reference documentation for more information.

command

String like "insertUnorderedList", "outdent", "justifyCenter", etc. that represents an editor command. Passed to editor.execCommand() if useDefaultCommand is true.

Flag to indicate if this plugin has been disabled and should do nothing helps control button state, among other things. Set via the setter api.

Defined by: dijit/_editor/_Plugin

Points to the parent editor

Defined by: dijit/_editor/_Plugin

The CSS class name for the button node is formed from iconClassPrefix and command

useDefaultCommand

Methods

_FontDropDown()
_FontNameDropDown()
_FontSizeDropDown()
_FormatBlockDropDown()
_getAttrNames(name)

Helper function for get() and set(). Caches attribute name values so we don't do the string ops every time.

Parameter Type Description
name undefined
Returns:undefined | object
_initButton()

Overrides _Plugin._initButton(), to initialize the FilteringSelect+label in toolbar, rather than a simple button.

_set(name,value)

Helper function to set new value for specified attribute

Parameter Type Description
name String
value anything
_setDisabledAttr(disabled)

Function to set the plugin state and call updateState to make sure the button is updated appropriately.

Parameter Type Description
disabled undefined
buttonClass()

Class of widget (ex: dijit.form.Button or dijit/form/FilteringSelect) that is added to the toolbar to control this plugin. This is used to instantiate the button, unless button itself is specified directly.

connect(o,f,tf)

Deprecated. Use this.own() with dojo/on or dojo/aspect.instead.

Make a connect.connect() that is automatically disconnected when this plugin is destroyed. Similar to dijit/_Widget.connect().

Parameter Type Description
o undefined
f undefined
tf undefined
destroy()
get(name)

Get a property from a plugin.

Get a named property from a plugin. The property may potentially be retrieved via a getter method. If no getter is defined, this just retrieves the object's property. For example, if the plugin has a properties "foo" and "bar" and a method named "_getFooAttr", calling:

plugin.get("foo");

would be equivalent to writing:

plugin._getFooAttr();

and:

plugin.get("bar");

would be equivalent to writing:

plugin.bar;
Parameter Type Description
name undefined

The property to get.

Returns:undefined
getLabel(key)

Returns the label to use for the button

Parameter Type Description
key String
Returns:undefined
own()
Defined by dijit/Destroyable

Track specified handles and remove/destroy them when this instance is destroyed, unless they were already removed/destroyed manually.

Returns:any | undefined

The array of specified handles, so you can do for example:

var handle = this.own(on(...))[0];
set(name,value)

Set a property on a plugin

Sets named properties on a plugin which may potentially be handled by a setter in the plugin. For example, if the plugin has a properties "foo" and "bar" and a method named "_setFooAttr", calling:

plugin.set("foo", "Howdy!");

would be equivalent to writing:

plugin._setFooAttr("Howdy!");

and:

plugin.set("bar", 3);

would be equivalent to writing:

plugin.bar = 3;

set() may also be called with a hash of name/value pairs, ex:

plugin.set({
    foo: "Howdy",
    bar: 3
})

This is equivalent to calling set(foo, "Howdy") and set(bar, 3)

Parameter Type Description
name attribute

The property to set.

value anything

The value to set in the property.

Returns:function | string

Set a property on a plugin

setEditor(editor)

Tell the plugin which Editor it is associated with.

Parameter Type Description
editor dijit/Editor
setToolbar(toolbar)

Tell the plugin to add it's controller widget (often a button) to the toolbar. Does nothing if there is no controller widget.

Parameter Type Description
toolbar dijit/Toolbar
updateState()

Overrides _Plugin.updateState(). This controls updating the menu options to the right values on state changes in the document (that trigger a test of the actions.) It set value of drop down in toolbar to reflect font/font size/format block of text at current caret position.
