Class Loader<C,M>

java.lang.Object
  com.sencha.gxt.data.shared.loader.Loader<C,M>

Type Parameters:

C - the type of the data used to configure

M - the type of data being returned by the loader

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeforeLoadEvent.HasBeforeLoadHandlers<C>, LoaderHandler.HasLoaderHandlers<C,M>, LoadExceptionEvent.HasLoadExceptionHandlers<C>, LoadHandler.HasLoadHandlers<C,M>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ListLoader, TreeLoader

public class Loader<C,M>
extends Object
implements LoaderHandler.HasLoaderHandlers<C,M>

Abstract base class for objects that can load remote data.

The optional input object passed with the load request is logically called a "load config" with the object returned by the loader called the "load result".

Typically, loaders work with DataProxy and DataReader to help perform the load operations. The DataProxy is responsible for obtaining the remote data. The DataReader is responsible for "processing" the remote data and converting the data to the expected format.

Events:

BeforeLoadEvent

LoadEvent

LoadExceptionEvent

Constructor Summary

Loader(DataProxy<C,M> proxy)
Creates a new base loader instance.

Loader(DataProxy<C,T> proxy, DataReader<M,T> reader)
Creates a new loader with the given proxy and reader.

HandlerRegistration	addLoadExceptionHandler(LoadExceptionEvent.LoadExceptionHandler<C> handler) Adds a LoadExceptionEvent handler.
HandlerRegistration	addLoadHandler(LoadHandler<C,M> handler) Adds a LoadEvent handler.
C	getLastLoadConfig() Returns the last load config.
DataProxy<?,?>	getProxy() Returns the loader's data proxy.
boolean	isReuseLoadConfig() Returns true if the load config is being reused.
boolean	load() Loads the data using the current configuration.
boolean	load(C loadConfig) Loads the data using the given load configuration.
void	setReuseLoadConfig(boolean reuseLoadConfig) Sets whether the same load config instance should be used for load operations (defaults to false).

Constructor Detail

Loader

public Loader(DataProxy<C,M> proxy)

Creates a new base loader instance. Since a data reader is not used, the data returned by the data proxy will not be read and converted by a reader.

Parameters:

proxy - the data proxy

Loader

public Loader(DataProxy<C,T> proxy,
              DataReader<M,T> reader)

Creates a new loader with the given proxy and reader.

Parameters:

proxy - the data proxy

reader - the data reader

Adds a BeforeLoadEvent handler.

Specified by:

addBeforeLoadHandler in interface BeforeLoadEvent.HasBeforeLoadHandlers<C>

Parameters:

handler - the handler

Returns:

the registration for the event

addLoaderHandler

public HandlerRegistration addLoaderHandler(LoaderHandler<C,M> handler)

Description copied from interface: LoaderHandler.HasLoaderHandlers

Adds a LoadEvent handler.

addLoaderHandler in interface LoaderHandler.HasLoaderHandlers<C,M>

Parameters:

handler - the handler

Returns:

the registration for the event

addLoadExceptionHandler

public HandlerRegistration addLoadExceptionHandler(LoadExceptionEvent.LoadExceptionHandler<C> handler)

Description copied from interface: LoadExceptionEvent.HasLoadExceptionHandlers

Adds a LoadExceptionEvent handler.

Specified by:

addLoadExceptionHandler in interface LoadExceptionEvent.HasLoadExceptionHandlers<C>

Parameters:

handler - the handler

Returns:

the registration for the event

addLoadHandler

public HandlerRegistration addLoadHandler(LoadHandler<C,M> handler)

getProxy

public DataProxy<?,?> getProxy()

Returns the loader's data proxy.

Returns:

the data proxy

isReuseLoadConfig

public boolean isReuseLoadConfig()

Returns true if the load config is being reused.

Returns:

the reuse load config state

load

public boolean load()

Loads the data using the current configuration. Fires the BeforeLoadEvent before the request, then the LoadEvent after the load operation.

Returns:

true if the load was requested, false if cancelled

setReuseLoadConfig

public void setReuseLoadConfig(boolean reuseLoadConfig)

Sets whether the same load config instance should be used for load operations (defaults to false).

Parameters:

reuseLoadConfig - true to reuse
