Class: TableSection

LuCI.form. TableSection

The TableSection class maps all or - if filter() is overwritten - a subset of the underlying UCI configuration sections of a given type.

Layout wise, the configuration section instances mapped by the section element (sometimes referred to as "section nodes") are rendered as rows within an HTML table element, with an optional section remove button in the last column and a section add button below the table, depending on the value of the addremove property.

Extends

Members

exteditstring function

Enables a per-section instance row Edit button which triggers a certain action when clicked. If set to a string, the string value is used as String.format() pattern with the name of the underlying UCI section as first format argument. The result is then interpreted as URL which LuCI will navigate to when the user clicks the edit button.

If set to a function, this function will be registered as click event handler on the rendered edit button, receiving the section instance name as first and the DOM click event as second argument.

Default Value:
  • null

max_colsnumber

Specify a maximum amount of columns to display. By default, one table column is rendered for each child option of the form section element. When this option is set to a positive number, then no more columns than the given amount are rendered. When the number of child options exceeds the specified amount, a More… button is rendered in the last column, opening a modal dialog presenting all options elements in NamedSection style when clicked.

Default Value:
  • null

modaltitlestring function

Override the per-section instance modal popup title caption shown when clicking the More… button in a section specifying max_cols. If set to a string, it will be used as String.format() pattern with the name of the underlying UCI section as first argument, if set to a function, the function will be invoked with the section name as first argument and its return value is used as caption, after converting it to a string. If this property is not set, the default is the name of the underlying UCI configuration section.

Default Value:
  • null

nodescriptionsboolean

If set to true, the header row with the options descriptions will not be displayed. By default, descriptions row is automatically displayed when at least one option has a description.

Default Value:
  • false

rowcolorsboolean

If set to true, alternating cbi-rowstyle-1 and cbi-rowstyle-2 CSS classes are added to the table row elements. Not all LuCI themes implement these row style classes. The default is false.

Default Value:
  • false

sectiontitlestring function

Override the per-section instance title caption shown in the first column of the table unless anonymous is set to true. If set to a string, it will be used as String.format() pattern with the name of the underlying UCI section as first argument, if set to a function, the function will be invoked with the section name as first argument and its return value is used as caption, after converting it to a string. If this property is not set, the default is the name of the underlying UCI configuration section.

Default Value:
  • null

sortableboolean

If set to true, a sort button is added to the last column, allowing the user to reorder the section instances mapped by the section form element.

Default Value:
  • false

addbtntitlestring function

Override the caption used for the section add button at the bottom of the section form element. If set to a string, it will be used as-is, if set to a function, the function will be invoked and its return value is used as caption, after converting it to a string. If this property is not set, the default is Add.

Default Value:
  • null

addremoveboolean

If set to true, the user may add or remove instances from the form section widget, otherwise only preexisting sections may be edited. The default is false.

Default Value:
  • false

anonymousboolean

If set to true, mapped section instances are treated as anonymous UCI sections, which means that section instance elements will be rendered without title element and that no name is required when adding new sections. The default is false.

Default Value:
  • false

cloneableboolean

Set to true, a clone button is added to the button column, allowing the user to clone section instances mapped by the section form element. The default is false.

Default Value:
  • false

readonlyparentoptionLuCI.form.AbstractValue

Access the parent option container instance.

In case this section is nested within an option element container, this property will hold a reference to the parent option instance.

If this section is not nested, the property is null.

tabbedboolean

When set to true, instead of rendering section instances one below another, treat each instance as separate tab pane and render a tab menu at the top of the form section element, allowing the user to switch among instances. The default is false.

Default Value:
  • false

uciconfigstring

Override the UCI configuration name to read the section IDs from. By default, the configuration name is inherited from the parent Map. By setting this property, a deviating configuration may be specified. The default is null, means inheriting from the parent form.

Default Value:
  • null
