Examples
Initialize the MasonryLayout with no options specified:
$( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout();
Initialize the MasonryLayout with some options specified:
$( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout( { "reorderHandle": ".appReorderHandle" } );
Initialize the MasonryLayout via the JET
ojComponent
binding:
<div id="masonryLayout" data-bind="ojComponent: { component: 'ojMasonryLayout', reorderHandle: '.appReorderHandle'}">
Options
-
contextMenu :string|null
-
Identifies the JET Menu that the component should launch as a context menu on right-click or Shift-F10. If specified, the browser's native context menu will be replaced by the specified JET Menu.
To specify a JET context menu on a DOM element that is not a JET component, see the
ojContextMenu
binding.To make the page semantically accurate from the outset, applications are encouraged to specify the context menu via the standard HTML5 syntax shown in the below example. When the component is initialized, the context menu thus specified will be set on the component.
When defining a contextMenu, ojMasonryLayout will provide built-in behavior for "cut" and "paste" if the following format for menu <li> items is used (no <a> elements are required):
- <li data-oj-command="oj-masonrylayout-cut" />
- <li data-oj-command="oj-masonrylayout-paste-before" />
- <li data-oj-command="oj-masonrylayout-paste-after" />
The JET Menu should be initialized before any component using it as a context menu.
- Default Value:
null
- Source:
Examples
Initialize a JET MasonryLayout with a context menu:
// via recommended HTML5 syntax: <div id="myMasonryLayout" contextmenu="myContextMenu" data-bind="ojComponent: { ... }> // via JET initializer (less preferred) : $( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout({ "contextMenu": "#myContextMenu" ... } });
Get or set the
contextMenu
option for an ojMasonryLayout after initialization:// getter var menu = $( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout( "option", "contextMenu" ); // setter $( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout( "option", "contextMenu", "#myContextMenu" );
-
disabled :boolean
-
MasonryLayout inherits the
disabled
option from its superclass, but does not support it in order to avoid tight coupling between a MasonryLayout and its contents. Setting this option on MasonryLayout has no effect.WARNING: Applications should not depend on this behavior because we reserve the right to change it in the future in order to support
disabled
and propagate it to child components of MasonryLayout.- Default Value:
false
- Source:
-
reorderHandle :string
-
Specify the string jQuery selector of the descendant DOM element in a
masonryLayout
child that can be used to reorder the child by drag-and-drop.This option is
null
by default, meaning thatmasonryLayout
children cannot be reordered. If each child that can be reordered has an element with style class'my-reorder-handle'
, thenreorderHandle
would be specified as'.my-reorder-handle'
.When specifying a
reorderHandle
, the application should also specify a context menu with actions to cut and paste tiles as an accessible alternative to drag-and-drop reordering.- Default Value:
null
- Source:
- See:
Examples
Initialize the masonryLayout with the
reorderHandle
option specified:// HTML <div> // masonryLayout DOM element <div id="child1"> // child DOM element <div class="my-reorder-handle"/> // reorder handle </div> <div id="child2"> // child DOM element <div class="my-reorder-handle"/> // reorder handle </div> <div id="child3"> // child DOM element <div class="my-reorder-handle"/> // reorder handle </div> <div id="child4"> // child DOM element <div class="my-reorder-handle"/> // reorder handle </div> <div id="child5"> // child DOM element <div class="my-reorder-handle"/> // reorder handle </div> </div> // JS $( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout( { "reorderHandle": ".my-reorder-handle" } );
Get or set the
reorderHandle
option after initialization:// getter var contentParent = $( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout( "option", "reorderHandle" ); // setter $( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout( "option", "reorderHandle", ".my-reorder-handle" );
-
rootAttributes :Object
-
Attributes specified here will be set on the component's root DOM element at creation time. This is particularly useful for components like Dialog that wrap themselves in a new root element at creation time.
The supported attributes are
id
, which overwrites any existing value, andclass
andstyle
, which are appended to the current class and style, if any.Setting this option after component creation has no effect. At that time, the root element already exists, and can be accessed directly via the
widget
method, per the second example below.- Default Value:
null
- Inherited From:
- Source:
Examples
Initialize a JET component, specifying a set of attributes to be set on the component's root DOM element:
// Foo is the component, e.g., Menu, Button, InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc. $( ".selector" ).ojFoo({ "rootAttributes": { "id": "myId", "style": "max-width:100%; color:blue;", "class": "my-class" }});
After initialization,
rootAttributes
should not be used. It is not needed at that time, as attributes of the root DOM element can simply be set directly, usingwidget
:// Foo is the component, e.g., Menu, Button, InputText, InputNumber, Select, etc. $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "widget" ).css( "height", "100px" ); $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "widget" ).addClass( "my-class" );
-
translations :Object
-
A collection of translated resources from the translation bundle, or
null
if this component has no resources. Resources may be accessed and overridden individually or collectively, as seen in the examples.If this component has (or inherits) translations, their documentation immediately follows this doc entry.
- Default Value:
- an object containing all resources relevant to the component and all its superclasses, or
null
if none
- an object containing all resources relevant to the component and all its superclasses, or
- Inherited From:

Examples
Initialize the component, overriding some translated resources. This syntax leaves the other translations intact at create time, but not if called after create time:
// Foo is InputDate, InputNumber, etc. $( ".selector" ).ojFoo({ "translations": { someKey: "someValue", someOtherKey: "someOtherValue" } });
Get or set the
translations
option, after initialization:// Get one. (Foo is InputDate, InputNumber, etc.) var value = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "translations.someResourceKey" ); // Get all. (Foo is InputDate, InputNumber, etc.) var values = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "translations" ); // Set one, leaving the others intact. (Foo is InputDate, InputNumber, etc.) $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "translations.someResourceKey", "someValue" ); // Set many. Any existing resource keys not listed are lost. (Foo is InputDate, InputNumber, etc.) $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "translations", { someKey: "someValue", someOtherKey: "someOtherValue" } );

Methods
-
getNodeBySubId(locator) → {Element|null}
-
Returns the component DOM node indicated by the
locator
parameter.If the
locator
or itssubId
isnull
, then this method returns the element on which this component was initialized.If a
subId
was provided but no corresponding node can be located, then this method returnsnull
. For more details on subIds, see the subIds section.Parameters:
Name Type Description locator
Object An Object containing, at minimum, a subId
property, whose value is a string that identifies a particular DOM node in this component.If this component has (or inherits) any subIds, then they are documented in the "Sub-ID's" section of this document.
Subclasses of this component may support additional fields of the
locator
Object, to further specify the desired node.- Inherited From:
- Source:
Returns:
The DOM node located by thesubId
string passed inlocator
, ornull
if none is found.- Type
- Element | null
Example
Get the node for a certain subId:
// Foo is ojInputNumber, ojInputDate, etc. var node = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "getNodeBySubId", {'subId': 'oj-some-sub-id'} );
-
insertTile(selector, index)
-
Insert a tile into the masonryLayout.
Parameters:
Name Type Description selector
string Selector identifying the tile to insert. The tile does not need to be a child of the masonryLayout
when this method is called. This method will reparent the tile to themasonryLayout
.index
number The 0-based index into the set of rendered masonryLayout
children where the tile will be inserted.- Source:
Returns:
When called via the public jQuery syntax, this method returns the object on which it was called, to facilitate method chaining.Example
Invoke the
insertTile
method:$( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout( "insertTile", "#tileSelector", 2 );
-
option(optionName, value) → {Object|undefined}
-
This method has several overloads, which get and set component options and their fields. The functionality is unchanged from that provided by JQUI. See the examples for details on each overload.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description optionName
string | Object <optional>
the option name (string, first two overloads), or the map (Object, last overload). Omitted in the third overload. value
Object <optional>
a value to set for the option. Second overload only. - Inherited From:
- Source:
Returns:
The getter overloads return the retrieved value(s). When called via the public jQuery syntax, the setter overloads return the object on which they were called, to facilitate method chaining.- Type
- Object | undefined
Examples
First overload: get one option:
This overload accepts a (possibly dot-separated)
optionName
param as a string, and returns the current value of that option.var isDisabled = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "disabled" ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc. // For object-valued options, dot notation can be used to get the value of a field or nested field. var startIcon = $( ".selector" ).ojButton( "option", "icons.start" ); // icons is object with "start" field
Second overload: set one option:
This overload accepts two params: a (possibly dot-separated)
optionName
string, and a new value to which that option will be set.$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "disabled", true ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc. // For object-valued options, dot notation can be used to set the value // of a field or nested field, without altering the rest of the object. $( ".selector" ).ojButton( "option", "icons.start", myStartIcon ); // icons is object with "start" field
Third overload: get all options:
This overload accepts no params, and returns a map of key/value pairs representing all the component options and their values.
var options = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option" ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.
Fourth overload: set one or more options:
This overload accepts a single map of option-value pairs to set on the component. Unlike the first two overloads, dot notation cannot be used.
$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", { disabled: true, bar: 42 } ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.
-
refresh()
-
Refreshes the visual state of the masonryLayout. JET components require a
refresh()
or re-init after the DOM is programmatically changed underneath the component.This method does not accept any arguments.
- Source:
Returns:
When called via the public jQuery syntax, this method returns the object on which it was called, to facilitate method chaining.Example
Invoke the
refresh
method:$( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout( "refresh" );
-
removeTile(selector)
-
Remove a tile from the masonryLayout.
Parameters:
Name Type Description selector
string Selector identifying the tile to remove. - Source:
Returns:
When called via the public jQuery syntax, this method returns the object on which it was called, to facilitate method chaining.Example
Invoke the
removeTile
method:$( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout( "removeTile", "#tileSelector" );
-
resizeTile(selector, sizeStyleClass)
-
Resize a tile in the masonryLayout.
Parameters:
Name Type Description selector
string Selector identifying the tile to resize. sizeStyleClass
string New size style class to apply to the tile. - Source:

Invoke the
resizeTile
method:$( ".selector" ).ojMasonryLayout( "resizeTile", "#tileSelector", "oj-masonrylayout-tile-2x1" );
Non-public Methods
Note: Extending JET components is not currently supported. Thus, non-public methods are for internal use only.
-
<protected> _activeable(element)
-
Sets the
oj-active
class on mousedown and removes it on mouseup.oj-active
is one of JET's 'marker' style classes. It emulates the css:active
pseudo-class.Unlike _hoverable() and _focusable(), this is an original JET method not inherited from JQUI. (Obviously inspired by those methods.)
Typically the specified element should be within the component subtree, in which case the class will automatically be removed from the element when the component is destroyed, when its
disabled
option is set to true, and when_NotifyDetached()
is called.As a minor exception, for components that wrap themselves in a new root node at create time, if the specified element is within the root node's subtree but not within the init node's subtree, then at destroy time only, the class will not be removed, since
destroy()
is expected to remove such nodes.If the element is NOT in the component subtree, then the caller is responsible for removing the class at the times listed above.
Parameters:
Name Type Description element
jQuery The element to receive the oj-active
class when pressed- Inherited From:
- Source:
-
<protected> _AfterCreate()
-
This method is called after _ComponentCreate, but before the
create
event is fired. The JET base component does tasks here that must happen after the component (subclass) has created itself in its override of _ComponentCreate. Notably, the base component handles the rootAttributes and contextMenu options here, since those options operate on the component root node, which for some components is created in their override of _ComponentCreate.Subclasses should override this method only if they have tasks that must happen after a superclass's implementation of this method, e.g. tasks that must happen after the context menu is set on the component.
Overrides of this method should call
this._super
first.- Inherited From:
- Source:
-
<protected> _AfterCreateEvent()
-
This method is called after the
create
event is fired. Components usually should not override this method, as it is rarely correct to wait until after thecreate
event to perform a create-time task.An example of a correct usage of this method is Dialog's auto-open behavior, which needs to happen after the
create
event.Only behaviors (like Dialog auto-open behavior) should occur in this method. Component initialization must occur earlier, before the
create
event is fired, so thatcreate
listeners see a fully inited component.Overrides of this method should call
this._super
first.Do not confuse this method with the _AfterCreate method, which is more commonly used.
- Inherited From:
- Source:
-
<protected> _CompareOptionValues(option, value1, value2) → {boolean}
-
Compares 2 option values for equality and returns true if they are equal; false otherwise.
Parameters:
Name Type Description option
String the name of the option value1
Object first value value2
Object another value - Inherited From:
- Source:
Returns:
- Type
- boolean
-
<protected> _ComponentCreate()
-
After _ComponentCreate and _AfterCreate, the widget should be 100% set up. this._super should be called first.
- Source:
-
<protected> _create()
-
This method is final in JET. Components should instead override one or more of the overridable create-time methods listed in _ComponentCreate.
- Inherited From:
- Source:
-
<protected> _destroy()
-
Destroy the masonryLayout.
- Source:
-
<protected> _focusable(element)
-
Sets the
oj-focus
class when the element is focused and removes it when focus is lost.Overridden to set the
oj-focus
class instead of JQUI's hard-codedui-
class, and eliminate JQUI's caching.Typically the specified element should be within the component subtree, in which case the class will automatically be removed from the element when the component is destroyed, when its
disabled
option is set to true, and when_NotifyDetached()
is called.As a minor exception, for components that wrap themselves in a new root node at create time, if the specified element is within the root node's subtree but not within the init node's subtree, then at destroy time only, the class will not be removed, since
destroy()
is expected to remove such nodes.If the element is NOT in the component subtree, then the caller is responsible for removing the class at the times listed above.
Parameters:
Name Type Description element
jQuery The element to receive the oj-focus
class on focus- Inherited From:
- Source:
-
<protected> _getCreateOptions()
-
This method is not used in JET. Components should instead override _InitOptions.
- Inherited From:
- Source:
-
<protected> _GetReadingDirection() → {string}
-
Determines whether the component is LTR or RTL.
Component responsibilities:
- All components must determine directionality exclusively by calling this protected superclass method. (So that any future updates to the logic can be made in this one place.)
- Components that need to know the directionality must call this method at create-time
and from
refresh()
, and cache the value. - Components should not call this at other times, and should instead use the cached value. (This avoids constant DOM queries, and avoids any future issues with component reparenting (i.e. popups) if support for directional islands is added.)
App responsibilities:
- The app specifies directionality by setting the HTML
"dir"
attribute on the<html>
node. When omitted, the default is"ltr"
. (Per-component directionality / directional islands are not currently supported due to inadequate CSS support.) - As with any DOM change, the app must
refresh()
the component if the directionality changes dynamically. (This provides a hook for component housekeeping, and allows caching.)
- Default Value:
"ltr"
- Inherited From:
- Source:
Returns:
the reading direction, either"ltr"
or"rtl"
- Type
- string
-
<protected> _GetSavedAttributes(element) → {Object|null}
-
Gets the saved attributes for the provided element.
If you don't override _SaveAttributes and _RestoreAttributes, then this will return null.
If you override _SaveAttributes to call _SaveAllAttributes, then this will return all the attributes. If you override _SaveAttributes/_RestoreAttributes to do your own thing, then you may also have to override _GetSavedAttributes to return whatever you saved if you need access to the saved attributes.
Parameters:
Name Type Description element
Object jQuery selection, should be a single entry - Inherited From:
- Source:
Returns:
savedAttributes - attributes that were saved for this element in _SaveAttributes, or null if none were saved.- Type
- Object | null
-
<protected> _hoverable(element)
-
Sets the
oj-hover
class when the element is hovered and removes it when the hover ends.Overridden to set the
oj-hover
class instead of JQUI's hard-codedui-
class, and eliminate JQUI's caching.Typically the specified element should be within the component subtree, in which case the class will automatically be removed from the element when the component is destroyed, when its
disabled
option is set to true, and when_NotifyDetached()
is called.As a minor exception, for components that wrap themselves in a new root node at create time, if the specified element is within the root node's subtree but not within the init node's subtree, then at destroy time only, the class will not be removed, since
destroy()
is expected to remove such nodes.If the element is NOT in the component subtree, then the caller is responsible for removing the class at the times listed above.
Parameters:
Name Type Description element
jQuery The element to receive the oj-hover
class on hover- Inherited From:
- Source:
-
<protected> _init()
-
JET components should almost never implement this JQUI method. Please consult an architect if you believe you have an exception. Reasons:
- This method is called at create time, after the
create
event is fired. It is rare for that to be the appropriate time to perform a create-time task. For those rare cases, we have the _AfterCreateEvent method, which is preferred over this method since it is called only at that time, not also at re-init time (see next). - This method is also called at "re-init" time, i.e. when the initializer is called after the component has already been created. JET has not yet identified any desired semantics for re-initing a component.
- Inherited From:
- Source:
- This method is called at create time, after the
-
<protected> _InitOptions(originalDefaults, constructorOptions)
-
This method is called before _ComponentCreate, at which point the component has not yet been rendered. Component options should be initialized in this method, so that their final values are in place when _ComponentCreate is called.
This includes getting option values from the DOM, where applicable, and coercing option values (however derived) to their appropriate data type if needed.
No work other than setting options should be done in this method. In particular, nothing should be set on the DOM until _ComponentCreate, e.g. setting the
disabled
DOM attribute from thedisabled
option.A given option (like
disabled
) appears in theconstructorOptions
param iff the app set it in the constructor:- If it appears in
constructorOptions
, it should win over what's in the DOM (e.g.disabled
DOM attribute). If for some reason you need to tweak the value that the app set, then enable writeback when doing so:this.option('foo', bar, {'_context': {writeback: true, internalSet: true}})
. - If it doesn't appear in
constructorOptions
, then that option definitely is not bound, so writeback is not needed. So if you need to set the option (e.g. from a DOM attribute), usethis.option('foo', bar, {'_context': {internalSet: true}})
.
Overrides of this method should call
this._super
first.Parameters:

<protected> _OpenContextMenu(event, eventType, openOptions, submenuOpenOptions, shallow)
-
The only correct way for a component to open its context menu is by calling this method, not by calling Menu.open() or _NotifyContextMenuGesture(). This method should be called in two cases:
- This method is called by _NotifyContextMenuGesture() and its overrides. That method is called when the baseComponent detects the default context menu gestures: right-click, Press & Hold, and Shift-F10.
- Components with UX-approved support for alternate context menu gestures like PressHoldRelease should call this method directly when those gestures are detected.
Components needing to customize how the context menu is launched, or do any per-launch setup, should do so in the caller of this method, (which is one of the two callers listed above), often by customizing the params passed to this method (
_OpenContextMenu
) per the guidance below. This setup should not be done in the following ways:- Components should not perform setup in a beforeOpen listener, as this can cause a race
condition where behavior depends on who got their listener registered first: the component or the app. The only correct component use
of a
beforeOpen
listener is when there's a need to detect whether something else launched the menu. - Components should not override this method (
_OpenContextMenu
), as this method is final. Instead, customize the params that are passed to it.
Guidance on setting OpenOptions fields:
Launcher:
Depending on individual component needs, any focusable element within the component can be the appropriate launcher for this launch.
Browser focus returns to the launcher on menu dismissal, so the launcher must at least be focusable. Typically a tabbable (not just focusable) element is safer, since it just focuses something the user could have focused on their own.
By default (i.e. if
openOptions
is not passed, or if it lacks alauncher
field), the component init node is used as the launcher for this launch. If that is not focusable or is suboptimal for a given component, that component should pass something else. E.g. components with a "roving tabstop" (like Toolbar) should typically choose the current tabstop as their launcher.The :focusable and :tabbable selectors may come in handy for choosing a launcher, e.g. something like
this.widget().find(".my-class:tabbable").first()
.Position:
By default, this method applies positioning that differs from Menu's default in the following ways: (The specific settings are subject to change.)
- For mouse and touch events, the menu is positioned relative to the event, not the launcher.
- For touch events,
"my"
is set to"start>40 center"
, to avoid having the context menu obscured by the user's finger.
Usually, if
position
needs to be customized at all, the only thing that needs changing is its"of"
field, and only for keyboard launches (since mouse/touch launches should almost certainly keep the default"event"
positioning). This situation arises anytime the element relative to which the menu should be positioned for keyboard launches is different than thelauncher
element (the element to which focus should be returned upon dismissal). For this case,{ "position": {"of": eventType==="keyboard" ? someElement : "event"} }
can be passed as theopenOptions
param.Be careful not to clobber useful defaults by specifying too much. E.g. if you only want to customize
"of"
, don't pass other fields like"my"
, since your value will be used for all modalities (mouse, touch, keyboard), replacing the modality-specific defaults that are usually correct. Likewise, don't forget theeventType==="keyboard"
check if you only want to customize"of"
for keyboard launches.InitialFocus:
This method forces initialFocus to
"menu"
for this launch, so the caller needn't specify it.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description event
Event What triggered the context menu launch. Must be non- null
.eventType
string "mouse", "touch", or "keyboard". Must be non- null
. Passed explicitly since caller knows what it's listening for, and since events likecontextmenu
andclick
can be generated by various input modalities, making it potentially error-prone for this method to determine how they were generated.openOptions
Object <optional>
Options to merge with this method's defaults, which are discussed above. The result will be passed to Menu.open(). May be null
or omitted. See also theshallow
param.submenuOpenOptions
Object <optional>
Options to be passed through to Menu.open(). May be null
or omitted.shallow
boolean <optional>
Whether to perform a deep or shallow merge of openOptions
with this method's default value. The default and most commonly correct / useful value isfalse
.- If
true
, a shallow merge is performed, meaning that the caller'sposition
object, if passed, will completely replace this method's defaultposition
object. - If
false
or omitted, a deep merge is performed. For example, if the caller wishes to tweakposition.of
while keeping this method's defaults forposition.my
,position.at
, etc., it can pass{"of": anOfValue}
as theposition
value.
The
shallow
param is n/a forsubmenuOpenOptions
, since this method doesn't apply any defaults to that. (It's a direct pass-through.)- Inherited From:

<protected> _RestoreAllAttributes()
-
Restores all the element's attributes which were saved in _SaveAllAttributes. This method is final in JET.
If a subclass wants to save/restore all attributes on create/destroy, then the subclass can override _SaveAttributes and call _SaveAllAttributes and also override _RestoreAttributes and call _RestoreAllAttributes.

<protected> _RestoreAttributes()
-
Restore the attributes saved in _SaveAttributes.
_SaveAttributes is called during _create. And _RestoreAttributes is called during _destroy.
This base class default implementation does nothing.
We also have _SaveAllAttributes and _RestoreAllAttributes methods that save and restore all the attributes on an element. Component subclasses can opt into these _SaveAllAttributes/_RestoreAllAttributes implementations by overriding _SaveAttributes and _RestoreAttributes to call _SaveAllAttributes/_RestoreAllAttributes. If the subclass wants a different implementation (like save only the 'class' attribute), it can provide the implementation itself in _SaveAttributes/_GetSavedAttributes/_RestoreAttributes.

<protected> _SaveAllAttributes(element)
-
Saves all the element's attributes within an internal variable. _RestoreAllAttributes will restore the attributes from this internal variable.
This method is final in JET. Subclasses can override _RestoreAttributes and call _RestoreAllAttributes.
The JSON variable will be held as:
[ { "element" : element[i], "attributes" : { attributes[m]["name"] : {"attr": attributes[m]["value"], "prop": $(element[i]).prop(attributes[m]["name"]) } } ]
