Accessors

aiDescription

Get Signature

get aiDescription(): string | null

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:474

AI briefing of the underlying Dart widget.

Returns

string | null

Set Signature

set aiDescription(x): void

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:479

A short AI-facing briefing, seeded from the registry's usage or description.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
x	string | null

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget.aiDescription

---

ambientAdoption

Get Signature

get protected ambientAdoption(): boolean

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:266

A widget wrapper minted inside somebody's effect scope must not be auto-disposed with it.

Returns

boolean

Inherited from

DartWidget.ambientAdoption

---

children

Get Signature

get children(): Widget<any>[]

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:301

Parent widget up the DOM tree, or null.

Returns

Widget<any>[]

Inherited from

DartWidget.children

---

name

Get Signature

get name(): string | undefined

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:469

A named control carries its name in the DOM: data-u2-name is the stable automation id selectors, tutorials and agents address the control by — the same attribute the spec renderer stamps on named nodes, so hand-built and spec-built UI share one selector vocabulary. Derived names (an input's label fallback) never stamp — see Component.deriveName.

Returns

string | undefined

Set Signature

set name(x): void

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:473

Unique within a spec: the anchor for selection, patches and automation. An accessor pair (not a field), so a platform descendant's own name accessors override it legally (TS2611).

Parameters

Parameter	Type
x	string | undefined

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget.name

---

parent

Get Signature

get parent(): Widget<any> | null

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:298

Parent widget up the DOM tree, or null.

Returns

Widget<any> | null

Inherited from

DartWidget.parent

---

propertyTarget

Get Signature

get propertyTarget(): unknown

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:468

What this component's properties are read from and written to — prop.get(target) / prop.set(target, v): the component itself, unless an adoption says otherwise.

Returns

unknown

Inherited from

DartWidget.propertyTarget

---

propertyTier

Get Signature

get propertyTier(): boolean

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:270

Every property getProperties declares is a bind step, read and written on propertyTarget.

Returns

boolean

Inherited from

DartWidget.propertyTier

---

root

Get Signature

get root(): HTMLElement

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:467

Returns

HTMLElement

Inherited from

DartWidget.root

---

scope

Get Signature

get scope(): Scope

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:53

Minted on first use; assigned before _scopeMinted fires, so the hook's own this.scope.own(...) reads the stored scope instead of re-entering the mint.

Returns

Scope

Inherited from

DartWidget.scope

---

type

Get Signature

get type(): string

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:466

Returns

string

Inherited from

DartWidget.type

Methods

_notifyPropertyChange()

protected _notifyPropertyChange(p): void

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:348

Notifies the property tier. Called from both the addProperty setter (overrides that skip super would otherwise lose props.x = writes) and onPropertyChanged (direct calls); the double notify collapses into one microtask refresh.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
p	Property | null

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget._notifyPropertyChange

---

_ownPropertyChanges()

protected _ownPropertyChanges(): ObservableLike<PropertyChange>

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:353

Returns

ObservableLike<PropertyChange>

Inherited from

DartWidget._ownPropertyChanges

---

_scopeMinted()

protected _scopeMinted(_scope): void

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:317

First-mint hook: a platform descendant wires its lifecycle here. Never fired for a scope provided to init — that path runs inside the constructor chain.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
_scope	Scope

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget._scopeMinted

---

_wireDartLifecycle()

protected _wireDartLifecycle(): void

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:333

Dart-owned lifecycle: the platform kill disposes the scope, and disposing the scope kills the widget through the kill-walk.

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget._wireDartLifecycle

---

_wireJsLifecycle()

protected _wireJsLifecycle(): void

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:324

JS-owned lifecycle: disposing the scope detaches the widget, and vice versa.

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget._wireJsLifecycle

---

_wireLifecycle()

protected _wireLifecycle(): void

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:469

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget._wireLifecycle

---

addProperty()

addProperty(propertyName, propertyType, defaultValue?, options?): any

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:376

Registers an property with the specified type, name, and defaultValue.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default value	Description
propertyName	string	undefined	-
propertyType	"string" | "bigint" | "object" | "map" | "file" | "bool" | "int" | "double" | "byte_array" | "datetime" | "qnum" | "dataframe" | "numerical" | "categorical" | "num" | "string_list" | "dataframe_list" | "cell" | "column" | "column_list" | "graphics" | "blob" | "tablerowfiltercall" | "colfiltercall" | "bitset" | "dynamic" | "viewer" | "list" | "semantic_value" | "func" | "funccall" | "property" | "GridCellRenderArgs" | "element" | "view" | "TableView" | "User" | "Menu" | "Project" | "event_data" | "progressindicator" | "Credentials" | "ScriptEnvironment" | "Notebook"	undefined	-
defaultValue	any	null	-
options	object & IProperty | null	null	-

Returns

any

See

Registered property gets added to properties. Returns default value, thus allowing to combine registering a property with the initialization

options.get/options.set override how the property reads/writes (instead of the default fieldName field access); the change notification (onPropertyChanged) always fires on write, and a {get}-only options yields a custom read with the default fieldName write.

Inherited from

DartWidget.addProperty

---

addStatusProvider()

addStatusProvider(name, provider): void

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:437

Adds live parts, hit areas and readings to this widget's status. Providers run in registration order on every read; an existing name is replaced in place, and later providers override earlier entries. Coordinates use the widget's own hit-area system. Detaching the widget removes all providers. A subclass that overrides getWidgetStatus composes with super.getWidgetStatus().

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
name	string	Stable name of the component contributing the status.
provider	StatusProvider	Computes the contribution each time the status is requested.

Returns

void

Example

widget.addStatusProvider('selection', () => ({values: {'selected rows': table.selection.trueCount}}));
console.log(widget.getWidgetStatus().values?.['selected rows']);
widget.removeStatusProvider('selection');
see samples/grid/custom-renderer-status

Inherited from

DartWidget.addStatusProvider

---

apply()

apply(properties): Widget

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:255

Parameters

Parameter	Type
properties	object

Returns

Widget

Inherited from

DartWidget.apply

---

bindProps()

bindProps(): BindProp[]

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:307

The signal-backed subset of the meta props — what a binding picker offers on a named node — plus, under propertyTier, every declared property. Allocates no signal.

Returns

BindProp[]

Inherited from

DartWidget.bindProps

---

bindStep()

bindStep(name): BindSource | Signal<unknown> | null

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:296

One binding step (DD5): a meta-declared prop's same-named Signal member — a named node is a bind source, generated off componentMeta the way getProperties is — then, under propertyTier, a cached signal over the declared property. '' answers the default binding: the component's own value signal, where one exists.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
name	string

Returns

BindSource | Signal<unknown> | null

Inherited from

DartWidget.bindStep

---

deriveName()

protected deriveName(x): void

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:72

Sets the introspection/form key without claiming an automation id — the label-fallback path: a caption is not a stable identity, so it never reaches data-u2-name.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
x	string | undefined

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget.deriveName

---

detach()

detach(): void

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:305

Gets called when a widget is detached and will no longer be used. Typically used for unsubscribing from events. Be sure to call super.detach() if this method is overridden.

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget.detach

---

dispose()

dispose(): void

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:147

On a never-engaged wrapper the getter mints here and _scopeMinted wires the lifecycle (own(kill) + the platform cleanup for Dart-owned), so dispose still kills it; re-entry from the kill cleanup is a no-op via the scope's disposed flag.

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget.dispose

---

effect()

effect(fn): this

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:134

Parameters

Parameter	Type

---

link()

link(name, source, twoWay): void

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:268

Keeps this component's name step and source equal, echo-suppressed by value; the reverse direction only where twoWay. A component that took source as its own signal needs no link and gets none; a read-only step cannot follow anything and gets none either.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
name	string
source	Signal<unknown>
twoWay	boolean

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget.link

---

onEvent()

Inherited from

DartWidget.toDart

---

build()

static build(builder): Control

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:529

Builds a control out of plain elements: builder runs with the new control's scope ambient, so signal bindings and nested components inside it are owned by the result. The ambient scope only spans the synchronous part of builder — components constructed after an await inside it are adopted by nobody and must be disposed by hand, or constructed before the first await.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
builder	() => HTMLElement | (string | HTMLElement | Control)[]

Returns

Control

Inherited from

DartWidget.build

---

create()

static create(params?): FilesWidget

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/specialized.ts:30

Creates a [FilesWidget] and opens a directory, if [path] is specified. [path] accepts a full-qualified name (see [Entity.nqName]).

Parameters

Parameter	Type
params	{ dataSourceFilter?: "S3"[]; path?: string; }
params.dataSourceFilter?	"S3"[]
params.path?	string

Returns

FilesWidget

---

Inherited from

DartWidget.find

---

forElement()

static forElement(el): Control | undefined

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:489

The nearest control owning el — the DOM → component door for tooling, automation and inspectors (the u2 counterpart of the platform's Widget.find). Best-effort: the last control constructed on (or assigned) a root wins it.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
el	Element | null

Returns

Control | undefined

Inherited from

DartWidget.forElement

---

fromRoot()

static fromRoot(root): Widget

Inherited from

DartWidget.init

---

is()

static is(x): x is Control

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:498

Inherited from

DartWidget.is

---

registerCleanup()

static registerCleanup(element, cleanup): void

Defined in: js-api/src/widgets/base.ts:238

Registers a cleanup function to run when [element] is killed — i.e. when its host view or pane closes. Also marks the element so the kill-walk can find it.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
element	Element
cleanup	Callback

Returns

void

Inherited from

DartWidget.registerCleanup

---

sameValue()

static sameValue(a, b): boolean

Defined in: js-api/src/u2core/component.ts:111

The equality the property tier and link suppress echoes by: Object.is, arrays element-wise, plain objects key-wise (recursive), everything else by identity.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
a	unknown
b	unknown

Returns

boolean

Inherited from

DartWidget.sameValue
