*Example of an options definition with the most common attributes:

this.prototype.options = {
'chartType': {
type: 'number',
[name: 'Name'],
[_set: function],
[value: 'line'], // options without value get forwarded to the _get callback
[_get: function], // either _get or value must be specified
[flags: BG.charts.Object.EOptionFlags.EXPOSED] // various flags; e.g. exposed => hint for ui; this option can be shown
},
};

Methods

  • Type Parameters

    • Type extends string
    • Callback extends (...args: any) => void

    Parameters

    Returns this

    adds a listener to the end of the listeners array for the specified event.

  • assign a new style object to the layer

    Parameters

    • style: Style
    • parentStyle: string

    Returns void

  • returns or sets the attribute of an option this function should be used with care - modifications of internal properties might break stuff!

    Parameters

    • this: BG.charts.Object<Record<string, (...args: any) => void>>
    • s: string
    • a: string
    • Optionalv: any

    Returns any

  • Sets the config of the layer, can be overridden to employ special options logic (for example when performing changes to the schema.

    Parameters

    • options: Record<string, any>

    Returns void

  • must be called after willUpdateOptions once all actions that might potentially changed values of any options are done

    IMPORTANT: methods must be called in balance; e.g. for each call to willUpdateOptions, you must call didUpdateOptions exactly once.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Type Parameters

    • Type extends string
    • Callback extends (...args: any) => void

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    execute each of the listeners in order with the supplied parameters.

  • returns a flat representation of all available config options in the form of a key-value-object optionally only values that are not read-only can be returned

    IMPORTANT: this method will always convert I18NStrings to strings, so for displaying strings in a UI use individual calls to BG.charts.Object:get instead

    Parameters

    • OptionalreadWriteOnly: boolean

      default: true

    • OptionalmodifiedOnly: boolean

      default: true

    • OptionalnonEphemeralOnly: boolean

      default: true

    Returns { [key: string]: any }

  • returns the value of the requested option, or a list of all available config options if no parameter is specified.

    Parameters

    • Optionals: string
    • Optionalflags: number

    Returns any

  • returns the categorization of the objects options can be used for displaying a more structured user interface

    Returns OptionGroup[]

  • Creates list of legend entry chunks to be displayed in the legend for the index pickerIndex

    Parameters

    • pickerIndex: number

    Returns Chunk[]

  • returns the primary color of this layer mainly used for the chart legend entries

    Parameters

    • Optionalindex: number

    Returns string

  • checks if any values displayed by this layer are less than or equal to zero

    Returns boolean

  • checks if the layer uses the specified point

    Parameters

    • point: Point

      a point on the chart

    • range: number

      maximum distance to the point

    Returns boolean

  • Type Parameters

    • Type extends string
    • Callback extends (...args: any) => void

    Parameters

    Returns Callback[]

    returns an array of listeners for the specified event.

  • Type Parameters

    • Type extends string
    • Callback extends (...args: any) => void

    Parameters

    Returns this

    alias for addListener

  • Type Parameters

    • Type extends string
    • Callback extends (...args: any) => void

    Parameters

    Returns this

    adds a one time listener for the event. This listener is invoked only the next time the event is fired, after which it is removed.

  • called when an object will be permanently discarded no other methods will be called on it ever again after this point

    IMPORTANT: this method should ONLY be called directly on the Controller all other objects will be destroyed automatically by the implementation

    Returns void

  • life cycle method; called when the object should recover from an error and resume normal operation

    this will only be called if the object encountered a RecoverableError, and is always triggered by a manual user interaction

    always called between start and stop

    Returns void

  • life cycle method; called when the object should start normal operation at this point is is already completely initialized

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • life cycle method; called when the object should stop normal operation if objects have any pending subscriptions/requests, they should all be stopped here

    the object is also responsible for clearing the loading flag from it's state if it is currently active failing to do so will trigger a fatal error

    object might be started again afterwards (start) or destroyed (destroy) this is not known yet at this point

    called after start or restart

    Returns void

  • can be called to tell the object that it should recover from an error and resume will have no effect if no retryable error is currently associated with the object

    Returns boolean

  • release all references to the specified style object

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Type Parameters

    • Type extends string

    Parameters

    Returns this

    removes all listeners, or those of the specified event.

  • Type Parameters

    • Type extends string
    • Callback extends (...args: any) => void

    Parameters

    Returns this

    remove a listener from the listener array for the specified event.

  • will set validate and then set the specified option(s) to the provided value(s) after validation

    NOTE: if multiple options are used, will return false if at least one value is not valid values are applied individually however, so one option might be set even if the value for another is invalid

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

  • Parameters

    • maxListeners: number

    Returns this

    by default EventEmitters will print a warning if more than 10 listeners are added for a particular event. This is a useful default which helps finding memory leaks. Obviously not all Emitters should be limited to 10. This function allows that limit to be increased. Set to zero for unlimited.

  • Sets the objName and objType of the Object reverts to the default ones if no arguments are given

    Parameters

    • OptionalobjType: string
    • OptionalobjName: string

    Returns void

  • snap point to the nearest value of interest

    Parameters

    • point: Point

      the point to be snapped

    • range: number

      the maximum allowed distance from the nearest value

    Returns false | Point

    false if the point was not snapped, otherwise the snapped Point

  • Returns a string representation of an object.

    Returns string

  • will set validate value(s) for the specified option(s)

    NOTE: if multiple options are used, will return false if at least one value is not valid

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

  • when using custom getters/setters (via _get/_set) in options, the values of options can change without .set being called - or there might not even be a setter for readonly options; for example, if the getter simply returns the value of a member variable this variable could be modified directly. In this case, events such as optionChanged would not be fired, and listeners would not be informed about the change.

    To account for such cases, the methods willUpdateOptions and didUpdateOptions should be called directly BEFORE and AFTER actions that might potentially change values of options. the correct events will then automatically be triggered when calling didUpdateOptions.

    if the options that could change are known, they can be supplied via the optional parameter. This provides a small performance gain in most situations.

    IMPORTANT: methods must be called in balance; e.g. for each call to willUpdateOptions, you must call didUpdateOptions exactly once.

    Parameters

    • Optionaloptions: string | string[]

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • cb: Function

    Returns void

    set custom error handler for event listeners

  • Parameters

    • maxListeners: number

    Returns void

    set default amount for limit warning
