Class CQ.UserInfo

Specify the id of the element, a DOM element or an existing Element corresponding to a DIV that is already present in the document that specifies some structural markup for this component.

A tag name or DomHelper spec used to create the Element which will encapsulate this Component.

You do not normally need to specify this. For the base classes CQ.Ext.Component, CQ.Ext.BoxComponent, and CQ.Ext.Container, this defaults to 'div'. The more complex Ext classes use a more complex DOM structure created by their own onRender methods.

This is intended to allow the developer to create application-specific utility Components encapsulated by different DOM elements. Example usage:

{
    xtype: 'box',
    autoEl: {
        tag: 'img',
        src: 'http://www.example.com/example.jpg'
    }
}, {
    xtype: 'box',
    autoEl: {
        tag: 'blockquote',
        html: 'autoEl is cool!'
    }
}, {
    xtype: 'container',
    autoEl: 'ul',
    cls: 'ux-unordered-list',
    items: {
        xtype: 'box',
        autoEl: 'li',
        html: 'First list item'
    }
}

True to use width:'auto', false to use fixed width (or allow it to be managed by its parent Container's layout manager. Defaults to false.

Note: Although many components inherit this config option, not all will function as expected with a width of 'auto'. Setting autoWidth:true means that the browser will manage width based on the element's contents, and that Ext will not manage it at all.

If the browser is managing the width, be aware that resizes performed by the browser in response to changes within the structure of the Component cannot be detected. Therefore changes to the width might result in elements needing to be synchronized with the new width. For example, where the target element is:

<div id='grid-container' style='margin-left:25%;width:50%'></div>

var myPanel = new CQ.Ext.Panel({
    renderTo: 'grid-container',
    monitorResize: true, // relay on browser resize
    title: 'Panel',
    height: 400,
    autoWidth: true,
    layout: 'hbox',
    layoutConfig: {
        align: 'stretch'
    },
    defaults: {
        flex: 1
    },
    items: [{
        title: 'Box 1',
    }, {
        title: 'Box 2'
    }, {
        title: 'Box 3'
    }],
});

The maximum value in pixels which this BoxComponent will set its width to.

Warning: This will override any size management applied by layout managers.

The minimum value in pixels which this BoxComponent will set its width to.

Warning: This will override any size management applied by layout managers.

The CSS class used to to apply to the special clearing div rendered directly after each form field wrapper to provide field clearing (defaults to 'x-form-clear-left').

Note: this config is only used when this Component is rendered by a Container which has been configured to use the FormLayout layout manager (e.g. CQ.Ext.form.FormPanel or specifying layout:'form') and either a fieldLabel is specified or isFormField=true is specified.

See CQ.Ext.layout.FormLayout.fieldTpl also.

Optional. Specify an existing HTML element, or the id of an existing HTML element to use as the content for this component.

• Description :
  This config option is used to take an existing HTML element and place it in the layout element of a new component (it simply moves the specified DOM element after the Component is rendered to use as the content.
• Notes :
  The specified HTML element is appended to the layout element of the component after any configured HTML has been inserted, and so the document will not contain this element at the time the render event is fired.
  The specified HTML element used will not participate in any layout scheme that the Component may use. It is just HTML. Layouts operate on child items.
  Add either the x-hidden or the x-hide-display CSS class to prevent a brief flicker of the content before it is rendered to the panel.

This option is a means of applying default settings to all added items whether added through the items config or via the add or insert methods.

If an added item is a config object, and not an instantiated Component, then the default properties are unconditionally applied. If the added item is an instantiated Component, then the default properties are applied conditionally so as not to override existing properties in the item.

If the defaults option is specified as a function, then the function will be called using this Container as the scope (this reference) and passing the added item as the first parameter. Any resulting object from that call is then applied to the item as default properties.

For example, to automatically apply padding to the body of each of a set of contained CQ.Ext.Panel items, you could pass: defaults: {bodyStyle:'padding:15px'}.

Usage:

defaults: {               // defaults are applied to items, not the container
    autoScroll:true
},
items: [
    {
        xtype: 'panel',   // defaults do not have precedence over
        id: 'panel1',     // options in config objects, so the defaults
        autoScroll: false // will not be applied here, panel1 will be autoScroll:false
    },
    new CQ.Ext.Panel({       // defaults do have precedence over options
        id: 'panel2',     // options in components, so the defaults
        autoScroll: false // will be applied here, panel2 will be autoScroll:true.
    })
]

The text to display below this component (defaults to '').

Note: this config is only used when this Component is rendered by a Container which has been configured to use the FormLayout layout manager.

See also fieldLabel.

The text to display below the fieldLabel (defaults to '').

Note: this config is only used when this Component is rendered by a Container which has been configured to use the FormLayout layout manager.

See also fieldLabel.

true to completely hide the label element (label and separator). Defaults to false. By default, even if you do not specify a fieldLabel the space will still be reserved so that the field will line up with other fields that do have labels. Setting this to true will cause the field to not reserve that space.

Note: see the note for clearCls.

new CQ.Ext.FormPanel({
    height: 100,
    renderTo: CQ.Ext.getBody(),
    items: [{
        xtype: 'textfield'
        hideLabel: true
    }]
});

The unique id of this component (defaults to an auto-assigned id). You should assign an id if you need to be able to access the component later and you do not have an object reference available (e.g., using CQ.getCmp).

Note that this id will also be used as the element id for the containing HTML element that is rendered to the page for this component. This allows you to write id-based CSS rules to style the specific instance of this component uniquely, and also to select sub-elements using this component's id as the parent.

Note: to avoid complications imposed by a unique id also see itemId and ref.

Note: to access the container of an item see ownerCt.

An itemId can be used as an alternative way to get a reference to a component when no object reference is available. Instead of using an id with CQ.getCmp, use itemId with CQ.Ext.Container.getComponent which will retrieve itemId's or id's. Since itemId's are an index to the container's internal MixedCollection, the itemId is scoped locally to the container -- avoiding potential conflicts with CQ.Ext.ComponentMgr which requires a unique id.

var c = new CQ.Ext.Panel({ //
    height: 300,
    renderTo: document.body,
    layout: 'auto',
    items: [
        {
            itemId: 'p1',
            title: 'Panel 1',
            height: 150
        },
        {
            itemId: 'p2',
            title: 'Panel 2',
            height: 150
        }
    ]
})
p1 = c.getComponent('p1'); // not the same as CQ.Ext.getCmp()
p2 = p1.ownerCt.getComponent('p2'); // reference via a sibling

Also see id and ref.

Note: to access the container of an item see ownerCt.

The separator to display after the text of each fieldLabel. This property may be configured at various levels. The order of precedence is:

Note: see the note for clearCls.

Also see hideLabel and CQ.Ext.layout.FormLayout.fieldTpl.

new CQ.Ext.FormPanel({
    height: 100,
    renderTo: CQ.Ext.getBody(),
    layoutConfig: {
        labelSeparator: '~'   // layout config has lowest priority (defaults to ':')
    },
    labelSeparator: '>>',     // config at container level
    items: [{
        xtype: 'textfield',
        fieldLabel: 'Field 1',
        labelSeparator: '...' // field/component level config supersedes others
    },{
        xtype: 'textfield',
        fieldLabel: 'Field 2' // labelSeparator will be '='
    }]
});

*Important: In order for child items to be correctly sized and positioned, typically a layout manager must be specified through the layout configuration option.

The sizing and positioning of child items is the responsibility of the Container's layout manager which creates and manages the type of layout you have in mind. For example:

new CQ.Ext.Window({
    width:300, height: 300,
    layout: 'fit', // explicitly set layout manager: override the default (layout:'auto')
    items: [{
        title: 'Panel inside a Window'
    }]
}).show();

If the layout configuration is not explicitly specified for a general purpose container (e.g. Container or Panel) the default layout manager will be used which does nothing but render child components sequentially into the Container (no sizing or positioning will be performed in this situation). Some container classes implicitly specify a default layout (e.g. FormPanel specifies layout:'form'). Other specific purpose classes internally specify/manage their internal layout (e.g. GridPanel, TabPanel, TreePanel, Toolbar, Menu, etc.).

layout may be specified as either as an Object or as a String:

Note: this config is only used when this BoxComponent is rendered by a Container which has been configured to use the BorderLayout or one of the two BoxLayout subclasses.

An object containing margins to apply to this BoxComponent in the format:

{
    top: (top margin),
    right: (right margin),
    bottom: (bottom margin),
    left: (left margin)
}

May also be a string containing space-separated, numeric margin values. The order of the sides associated with each value matches the way CSS processes margin values:

Defaults to:

{top:0, right:0, bottom:0, left:0}

A path specification, relative to the Component's ownerCt specifying into which ancestor Container to place a named reference to this Component.

The ancestor axis can be traversed by using '/' characters in the path. For example, to put a reference to a Toolbar Button into the Panel which owns the Toolbar:

var myGrid = new CQ.Ext.grid.EditorGridPanel({
    title: 'My EditorGridPanel',
    store: myStore,
    colModel: myColModel,
    tbar: [{
        text: 'Save',
        handler: saveChanges,
        disabled: true,
        ref: '../saveButton'
    }],
    listeners: {
        afteredit: function() {
//          The button reference is in the GridPanel
            myGrid.saveButton.enable();
        }
    }
});

In the code above, if the ref had been 'saveButton' the reference would have been placed into the Toolbar. Each '/' in the ref moves up one level from the Component's ownerCt.

Also see the added and removed events.

Specify the id of the element, a DOM element or an existing Element that this component will be rendered into.

See render also.

An array of events that, when fired, should trigger this component to save its state (defaults to none). stateEvents may be any type of event supported by this component, including browser or custom events (e.g., ['click', 'customerchange']).

See stateful for an explanation of saving and restoring Component state.

A flag which causes the Component to attempt to restore the state of internal properties from a saved state on startup. The component must have either a stateId or id assigned for state to be managed. Auto-generated ids are not guaranteed to be stable across page loads and cannot be relied upon to save and restore the same state for a component.

For state saving to work, the state manager's provider must have been set to an implementation of CQ.Ext.state.Provider which overrides the set and get methods to save and recall name/value pairs. A built-in implementation, CQ.Ext.state.CookieProvider is available.

To set the state provider for the current page:

CQ.Ext.state.Manager.setProvider(new CQ.Ext.state.CookieProvider({
    expires: new Date(new Date().getTime()+(1000*60*60*24*7)), //7 days from now
}));

A stateful Component attempts to save state when one of the events listed in the stateEvents configuration fires.

To save state, a stateful Component first serializes its state by calling getState. By default, this function does nothing. The developer must provide an implementation which returns an object hash which represents the Component's restorable state.

The value yielded by getState is passed to CQ.Ext.state.Manager.set which uses the configured CQ.Ext.state.Provider to save the object keyed by the Component's stateId, or, if that is not specified, its id.

During construction, a stateful Component attempts to restore its state by calling CQ.Ext.state.Manager.get passing the stateId, or, if that is not specified, the id.

The resulting object is passed to applyState. The default implementation of applyState simply copies properties into the object, but a developer may override this to support more behaviour.

You can perform extra processing on state save and restore by attaching handlers to the beforestaterestore, staterestore, beforestatesave and statesave events.

Note: this config is only used when this BoxComponent is a child item of a TabPanel.
