Custom Elements Documentation
Getting Started
jqxInput is a HTML Element which represents an input with auto-complete capabilities.Every UI element from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.
The first step is to create html page and add links to the javascript files and
css dependencies to your project.
The jqxInput element requires the following
files:
The next step is to add the html element within the body of the html page.<script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/webcomponents-lite.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="../jqwidgets/jqxcore.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="../jqwidgets/jqxcore.elements.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="../jqwidgets/jqxdata.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="../jqwidgets/jqxinput.js"></script>
The last step is to initialize the element settings:<jqx-input settings="elementSettings"></jqx-input>
To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the jqxInput's instance.<script type="text/javascript">JQXElements.settings["elementSettings"] ={source:countries,dropDownWidth:200, theme:"light"}</script>
To get the result of a function after calling it, you can use the following syntax:<script>window.onload = function () {var element = document.querySelector("jqx-input");element.destroy();}</script>
To set a property(option), you need to use the property name and value(s) along with the jqxInput's instance.<script>window.onload = function () {var element = document.querySelector("jqx-input");var result = element.val();}</script>
You can also set properties of HTML Elements by using Attributes. Traditionally, attributes are used to set the initial state of an element. Properties with camelCase naming have dash-based attributes. For example: A property "dataSource" will have an attribute called "data-source".window.onload = function() {document.querySelector("jqx-input").dropDownWidth = null;}
To get a property(option), you need to use the property name along with the jqxInput's instance.
window.onload = function() {var propertyValue = document.querySelector("jqx-input").dropDownWidth;}
Event binding can be defined in the HTML as an attribute. The syntax is: 'on-' and the event's name. Event Names with camelCase naming have dash-based attributes. The attribute's value is the event handler's name. The addEventListener function can also be used for event binding.
<script>window.onload = function () {var element = document.querySelector("jqx-input");element.addEventListener("change", function(event){// Your code here});}</script>
