See the dojox/data/FlickrRestStore reference documentation for more information.
The users API key to be used when accessing Flickr REST services.
A HashMap used to record the handlers registered for a single remote request. Multiple requests may be made for the same information before the first request has finished. Each element of this Object is an array of handlers to call back when the request finishes. This prevents multiple requests being made for the same information.
A HashMap used to record the signature of a request to prevent duplicate request being made.
A counter for the number of requests made. This is used to define the callback function that Flickr will use.
A quick lookup of valid attribute names in a sort query.

The simpleFetch mixin is designed to serve as a set of function(s) that can be mixed into other datastore implementations to accelerate their development.
The simpleFetch mixin should work well for any datastore that can respond to a _fetchItems() call by returning an array of all the found items that matched the query. The simpleFetch mixin is not designed to work for datastores that respond to a fetch() call by incrementally loading items, or sequentially loading partial batches of the result set. For datastores that mixin simpleFetch, simpleFetch implements a fetch method that automatically handles eight of the fetch() arguments -- onBegin, onItem, onComplete, onError, start, count, sort and scope The class mixing in simpleFetch should not implement fetch(), but should instead implement a _fetchItems() method. The _fetchItems() method takes three arguments, the keywordArgs object that was passed to fetch(), a callback function to be called when the result array is available, and an error callback to be called if something goes wrong. The _fetchItems() method should ignore any keywordArgs parameters for start, count, onBegin, onItem, onComplete, onError, sort, and scope. The _fetchItems() method needs to correctly handle any other keywordArgs parameters, including the query parameter and any optional parameters (such as includeChildren). The _fetchItems() method should create an array of result items and pass it to the fetchHandler along with the original request object -- or, the _fetchItems() method may, if it wants to, create an new request object with other specifics about the request that are specific to the datastore and pass that as the request object to the handler.
For more information on this specific function, see dojo/data/api/Read.fetch()
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
request | Object |
Optional The keywordArgs parameter may either be an instance of conforming to dojo/data/api/Request or may be a simple anonymous object that may contain any of the following: { query: query-object or query-string, queryOptions: object, onBegin: Function, onItem: Function, onComplete: Function, onError: Function, scope: object, start: int count: int sort: array } All implementations should accept keywordArgs objects with any of the 9 standard properties: query, onBegin, onItem, onComplete, onError scope, sort, start, and count. Some implementations may accept additional properties in the keywordArgs object as valid parameters, such as {includeOutliers:true}. The query parameterThe query may be optional in some data store implementations. The dojo/data/api/Read API does not specify the syntax or semantics of the query itself -- each different data store implementation may have its own notion of what a query should look like. However, as of dojo 0.9, 1.0, and 1.1, all the provided datastores in dojo.data and dojox.data support an object structure query, where the object is a set of name/value parameters such as { attrFoo: valueBar, attrFoo1: valueBar1}. Most of the dijit widgets, such as ComboBox assume this to be the case when working with a datastore when they dynamically update the query. Therefore, for maximum compatibility with dijit widgets the recommended query parameter is a key/value object. That does not mean that the the datastore may not take alternative query forms, such as a simple string, a Date, a number, or a mix of such. Ultimately, The dojo/data/api/Read API is agnostic about what the query format. Further note: In general for query objects that accept strings as attribute value matches, the store should also support basic filtering capability, such as (match any character) and ? (match single character). An example query that is a query object would be like: { attrFoo: "value"}. Which generally means match all items where they have an attribute named attrFoo, with a value that starts with 'value'. The queryOptions parameterThe queryOptions parameter is an optional parameter used to specify options that may modify the query in some fashion, such as doing a case insensitive search, or doing a deep search where all items in a hierarchical representation of data are scanned instead of just the root items. It currently defines two options that all datastores should attempt to honor if possible: { ignoreCase: boolean, // Whether or not the query should match case sensitively or not. Default behaviour is false. deep: boolean // Whether or not a fetch should do a deep search of items and all child // items instead of just root-level items in a datastore. Default is false. } The onBegin parameter.function(size, request); If an onBegin callback function is provided, the callback function will be called just once, before the first onItem callback is called. The onBegin callback function will be passed two arguments, the the total number of items identified and the Request object. If the total number is unknown, then size will be -1. Note that size is not necessarily the size of the collection of items returned from the query, as the request may have specified to return only a subset of the total set of items through the use of the start and count parameters. The onItem parameter.function(item, request); If an onItem callback function is provided, the callback function will be called as each item in the result is received. The callback function will be passed two arguments: the item itself, and the Request object. The onComplete parameter.function(items, request); If an onComplete callback function is provided, the callback function will be called just once, after the last onItem callback is called. Note that if the onItem callback is not present, then onComplete will be passed an array containing all items which matched the query and the request object. If the onItem callback is present, then onComplete is called as: onComplete(null, request). The onError parameter.function(errorData, request); If an onError callback function is provided, the callback function will be called if there is any sort of error while attempting to execute the query. The onError callback function will be passed two arguments: an Error object and the Request object. The scope parameter.If a scope object is provided, all of the callback functions (onItem, onComplete, onError, etc) will be invoked in the context of the scope object. In the body of the callback function, the value of the "this" keyword will be the scope object. If no scope object is provided, the callback functions will be called in the context of dojo.global(). For example, onItem.call(scope, item, request) vs. onItem.call(dojo.global(), item, request) The start parameter.If a start parameter is specified, this is a indication to the datastore to only start returning items once the start number of items have been located and skipped. When this parameter is paired with 'count', the store should be able to page across queries with millions of hits by only returning subsets of the hits for each query The count parameter.If a count parameter is specified, this is a indication to the datastore to only return up to that many items. This allows a fetch call that may have millions of item matches to be paired down to something reasonable. The sort parameter.If a sort parameter is specified, this is a indication to the datastore to sort the items in some manner before returning the items. The array is an array of javascript objects that must conform to the following format to be applied to the fetching of items: { attribute: attribute || attribute-name-string, descending: true|false; // Optional. Default is false. } Note that when comparing attributes, if an item contains no value for the attribute (undefined), then it the default ascending sort logic should push it to the bottom of the list. In the descending order case, it such items should appear at the top of the list. |
