/*** Constructs nodes from JSON structures as GUI ** tree structures. Lowers the learning curve of GUI ** development, because Javascript knowledge is not ** required to define user interfaces. ** The main purpose is to ease the development of ** user interfaces by defining them as data on the ** server, converting the data to JSON GUI trees and ** letting the client handle the rest. The end result ** is the same as defining the structures in ** JavaScript code. ** ** This class is still in development, so expect more ** features and documentation as it matures. ***/ //var//RSence.Foundation COMM.JSONRenderer = HClass.extend({ version: 1.0, /** = Description * Renders JSON structured data, see some of the demos for usage examples. * * = Parameters: * +_data+: The data structure used for building. * +_parent+: The parent view (or app) (Optional) **/ constructor: function(_data, _parent){ if((_data['type'] === 'GUITree') && (this.version >= _data['version'])){ this.data = _data; this.parent = _parent; this.byId = {}; this.byName = {}; this.render(); var _rndr = this; if( this.view.hasAncestor( HApplication ) ){ this.view.getViewById = function(_id){ return _rndr.getViewById(_id); }; this.view.getViewsByName = function(_id){ return _rndr.getViewsByName(_id); }; } else if ( this.view.hasAncestor( HView ) ){ this.view.app.getViewById = function(_id){ return _rndr.getViewById(_id); }; this.view.app.getViewsByName = function(_id){ return _rndr.getViewsByName(_id); }; } } else{ throw("JSONRenderer: Only GUITree version "+this.version+" or older data can be handled."); } }, getViewById: function(_id){ if( this.byId[_id] !== undefined ){ return this.byId[_id]; } console.log('JSONRenderer; no such view Id: '+_id); return null; }, addViewId: function(_id, _view){ if( this.byId[_id] !== undefined ){ console.log('JSONRenderer; already has id: '+_id+' (replacing)'); } this.byId[_id] = _view; }, getViewsByName: function(_name){ if( this.byName[_id] !== undefined ){ return this.byName[_name]; } console.log('JSONRenderer; no views named: '+_name); return []; }, addViewName: function(_name, _view){ if( this.byName[_name] === undefined ){ this.byName[_name] = []; } this.byName[_name].push(_view); }, render: function(){ this.scopes = [window]; this.scopeDepth = 0; this.view = this.renderNode( this.data, this.parent ); }, die: function(){ this.view.die(); }, defineInScope: function( _definition ){ var _isArr = (_definition instanceof Array), _isObj = (_definition instanceof Object); if( _isArr || !_isObj ){ console.log("JSONRenderer; definition must be an Object, got: '"+(typeof _definition)+"'.
