EQ.core namespace

Contains different classes and functions for managing core EasyQuery objects: data model, query, entities, attributes, operators, etc.

Variables

texts

Type:Object
Default:{Entities: {}, Attributes: {}, Operators: {}}
Contains the text strings that are used in the UI divided by 3 lists. By default the internal (English) list of strings is used.
Note:These lists are usually used to localize the UI.

Functions

getText

Returns:
(String)
Text of the resource defined by key
Returns localized text by the key defined in parameters
Parameters:
key
Type:String
The key of the resource string.
Code examples:
Here we get the text of the resource string assigned to CmdClickToAddCondition key 

var text = EQ.core.getText("CmdClickToAddCondition")

Classes

Represents a data model.

Methods

getObject
Gets internal model object.

Parameters:
data
Type:Object | String
Internal model representation as pure JavaScript object or as JSON string
isEmpty
Returns true if current model is empty (does not contain any entity)
isEmpty
Returns root entity object
getAttributById
Returns:
(Object)
An attribute.
Gets entity attribute by its ID. This function runs through all attributes inside specified model (it's root entity and all its sub-entities). Returns null if attribute is not found.
Parameters:
attrId
Type:String
Attribute ID
getEntityAttrById
Returns:
(Object)
An attribute.
Gets entity attribute by its ID. This function runs through all attributes inside specified entity and all its sub-entities. Returns null if attribute is not found.
Parameters:
entity
Type:Object
Entity object to search in
attrId
Type:String
Attribute ID
getFirstUICAttrInEntity
Returns:
(Object)

  }
}

index
