JET Accordion Component

Description: Themeable, WAI-ARIA-compliant collapsible with mouse and keyboard interactions for navigation.

A JET Accordion can be created from any valid markup as long as the root element has one or more child elements and each child element must have two children: the first element for the header and the second element for the content.


<div id="accordion">
  <div id="c1">
    <h3>
      <img src="images/default.png"/>
      <span>Header 1</span>
    </h3>
    <p>Content 1.</p>
  </div>
  <div id="c2" class="oj-disabled">
    <h3>Disabled Header</h3>
    <p>I'm disabled.</p>
  </div>
  <div id="c3" data-bind="ojComponent: {component: 'ojCollapsible', expanded:true}">
    <h3>Header 3</h3>
    <p>Content 3</p>
  </div>
</div>

Keyboard interaction

When the focus is on a collapsible header

Key Use
Tab Navigate to next collapsible header and if none then the next component on page.
Shift+Tab Navigate to previous collapsible header and if none then the previous component on page.
UpArrow or LeftArrow (RightArrow in RTL) Move focus to the previous collapsible header with wrap around.
DownArrow or RightArrow (LeftArrow in RTL) Move focus to the next collapsible header with wrap around.
Home Move focus to the first collapsible header.
End Move focus to the last collapsible header.

Disabled items can receive keyboard focus, but do not allow any other interaction.

Reading direction

As with any JET component, in the unusual case that the directionality (LTR or RTL) changes post-init, the collapsible must be refresh()ed.

Pseudo-selectors

The :oj-collapsible pseudo-selector can be used in jQuery expressions to select JET Accordion. For example:

$( ":oj-collapsible" ) // selects all JET Accordion on the page
$myEventTarget.closest( ":oj-collapsible" ) // selects the closest ancestor that is a JET Accordion

JET for jQuery UI developers

  1. JET Accordion supports clickable option: specifies where to click to toggle disclosure. Default is "disclosureIcon", however if a collapsible is inside an Accordion, default is "header"

Also, event names for all JET components are prefixed with "oj", instead of component-specific prefixes like "collapsible".

Initializer

.ojAccordion()

Creates a JET Accordion.
Source:
Examples

Initialize the collapsible with no options specified:

$( ".selector" ).ojAccordion();

Initialize the collapsible with some options and callbacks specified:

$( ".selector" ).ojAccordion( { "disabled": true, "create": function( event, ui ) {} } );

Initialize the collapsible via the JET ojComponent binding:

<div id="collapsible" data-bind="ojComponent: { component: 'ojAccordion', 
                                                   multiple: false}">

Options

#contextMenu :Object

JQ selector identifying the JET Menu that the component should launch as a context menu on right-click or Shift-F10. If specified, the browser's native context menu will be replaced by the specified JET Menu.

To specify a JET context menu on a DOM element that is not a JET component, see the ojContextMenu binding.

To make the page semantically accurate from the outset, applications are encouraged to specify the context menu via the standard HTML5 syntax shown in the below example. When the component is initialized, the context menu thus specified will be set on the component.

The JET Menu should be initialized before any component using it as a context menu.

Default Value:
  • null
Inherited From:
Source:
Examples

Initialize a JET component with a context menu:

// via recommended HTML5 syntax:
<div id="myComponent" contextmenu="myMenu" data-bind="ojComponent: { ... }>

// via JET initializer (less preferred) :
$( ".selector" ).ojFoo({ "contextMenu": "#myMenu" });

Get or set the contextMenu option, after initialization:

// getter
var menu = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "contextMenu" );

// setter
$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "contextMenu", ".my-marker-class" );

Set a JET context menu on an ordinary HTML element:

<a href="#" id="myAnchor" contextmenu="myMenu" data-bind="ojContextMenu: {}">Some text

#multiple :boolean

Allow multiple collapsible(s) to be open at the same time.
Default Value:
  • false
Source:
Examples

Initialize the accordion with the multiple option specified:

$( ".selector" ).ojAccordion( { "multiple": true } );

Get or set the multiple option, after initialization:

// getter
var multiple = $( ".selector" ).ojAccordion( "option", "multiple" );

// setter
$( ".selector" ).ojAccordion( "option", "multiple", true );

#rootAttributes :Object|undefined

Attributes specified here will be set on the component's root DOM element at creation time. This is particularly useful for components like Dialog that wrap themselves in a root element at creation time.

The specified class and style are appended to the current class and style, respectively. All other attributes overwrite any existing value.

Setting this option after component creation has no effect.

Default Value:
  • undefined
Inherited From:
Source:
Example

Initialize a JET component, specifying a set of attributes to be set on the component's root DOM element:

$( ".selector" ).ojFoo({ "rootAttributes": {
  'id': 'myId', 
  'style': 'max-width:100%; color:blue;', 
  'class': 'my-class'
}});

Methods

#getNodeBySubId(locator) → {Element|null}

Return the subcomponent node represented by the documented locator attribute values. To lookup a header the locator object should have the following: subId: 'oj-accordion-header' index: number To lookup a disclosure icon the locator object should have the following: subId: 'oj-accordion-header-icon' index: number To lookup a panel content the locator object should have the following: subId: 'oj-accordion-content' index: number To lookup a collapsible the locator object should have the following: subId: 'oj-accordion-collapsible' index: number
Parameters:
Name Type Description
locator Object An Object containing at minimum a subId property whose value is a string, documented by the component, that allows the component to look up the subcomponent associated with that string. It contains:

component: optional - in the future there may be more than one component contained within a page element

subId: the string, documented by the component, that the component expects in getNodeBySubId to locate a particular subcomponent

Source:
Returns:
the subcomponent located by the subId string passed in locator, if found.

Type
Element | null

#getSubIdByNode(node) → {string|null}

Return the subId string for the given child DOM node
Parameters:
Name Type Description
node Element child DOM node
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
- the subId for the DOM node or null when none is found
Type
string | null

#option(optionName, value) → {Object|undefined}

This method has several overloads, which gets and set component options.

The first overload accepts a single optionName param as a string, and returns the current value of that option.

The second overload accepts two params, an optionName string and a new value to which that option will be set.

The third overload accepts no params, and returns a map of key/value pairs representing all the component options and their values.

The fourth overload accepts a single map of option-value pairs to set on the component.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
optionName string | Object <optional>
the option name (string, first two overloads), or the map (Object, last overload). Omitted in the third overload.
value Object <optional>
a value to set for the option. Second overload only.
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
The getter overloads return the retrieved value(s). When called via the public jQuery syntax, the setter overloads return the object on which they were called, to facilitate method chaining.
Type
Object | undefined
Examples

First overload: get one option:

var isDisabled = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "disabled" ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.

Second overload: set one option:

$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", "disabled", true ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.

Third overload: get all options:

var options = $( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option" ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.

Fourth overload: set one or more options:

$( ".selector" ).ojFoo( "option", { disabled: true } ); // Foo is Button, Menu, etc.

#refresh()

Refreshes the visual state of the accordion. JET components require a refresh() or re-init after the DOM is programmatically changed underneath the component.

This method does not accept any arguments.

Source:
Returns:
When called via the public jQuery syntax, this method returns the object on which it was called, to facilitate method chaining.
Example

Invoke the refresh method:

$( ".selector" ).ojAccordion( "refresh" );

Non-public Methods

Note: Extending JET components is not currently supported. Thus, non-public methods are for internal use only.

<protected> #_AfterCreate()

This method is called after _ComponentCreate. The JET base component does tasks here that must happen after the component (subclass) has created itself in its override of _ComponentCreate. Notably, the base component handles the rootAttributes and contextMenu options here, since those options operate on the component root node, which for some components is created in their override of _ComponentCreate.

Subclasses should override this method only if they have tasks that must happen after a superclass's implementation of this method, e.g. tasks that must happen after the context menu is set on the component.

Overrides of this method should call this._super first.

Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
When called via the public jQuery syntax, this method returns the object on which it was called, to facilitate method chaining.

<protected> #_ComponentCreate()

All component create-time initialization lives in this method, except the logic that specifically needs to live in _InitOptions or _AfterCreate, per the documentation for those methods. All DOM creation must happen here, since the intent of _AfterCreate is to contain superclass logic that must run after that DOM is created.

Overrides of this method should call this._super first.

Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
When called via the public jQuery syntax, this method returns the object on which it was called, to facilitate method chaining.

<protected> #_GetReadingDirection() → {string}

Determines whether the component is LTR or RTL.

Component responsibilities:

  • All components must determine directionality exclusively by calling this protected superclass method. (So that any future updates to the logic can be made in this one place.)
  • Components that need to know the directionality must call this method from _create() and refresh(), and cache the value.
  • Components should not call this at other times, and should instead use the cached value. (This avoids constant DOM queries, and avoids any future issues if directional islands and component reparenting (e.g. popups) should coexist.)

App responsibilities:

  • The app specifies directionality by setting the HTML "dir" attribute on the <html> node. When omitted, the default is "ltr". (Per-component directionality / directional islands are not currently supported due to inadequate CSS support.)
  • As with any DOM change, the app must refresh() the component if the directionality changes dynamically. (This provides a hook for component housekeeping, and allows caching.)
Default Value:
  • "ltr"
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
the reading direction, either "ltr" or "rtl"
Type
string

<protected> #_GetSavedAttributes(element) → {Object}

Gets the saved attributes for the provided element. This is usually the original list of attributes set on the element.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
element Object jQuery selection, should be a single entry
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
savedAttributes - attributes that were saved for this element.
Type
Object

<protected> #_InitOptions()

This method is called before _ComponentCreate, at which point the component has not yet been rendered. Component options should be initialized in this method, so that their final values are in place when _ComponentCreate is called.

This includes getting option values from the DOM, where applicable, and coercing option values (however derived) to their appropriate data type. No other work should be done in this method. See below for details.

Overrides of this method should call this._super first.

Usage:

  • If the component has an option like disabled that can be set from the DOM at create time, then the "get from DOM" logic should live in this method. E.g. a typical override might say "if the disabled option still has its initial value of undefined (i.e., the option has not been set), then get the DOM property and set it on the option." (See also next bullet.)
  • For attributes that live on the component's root node, keep in mind that anything specified via the rootAttributes option will not be placed on the DOM until _AfterCreate. So when getting attributes from the root node, components must first look in the rootAttributes option, and then, only if the attribute is not found there, look on the component root (if it already exists).
  • For options that, unlike disabled, have no corresponding DOM property, and are not otherwise set from the DOM, there is nothing to do in this method.
  • Do NOT set anything on the DOM in this method (like the resolved disabled value, or any rootAttributes values). The resolved option values should be set on the DOM later, in _ComponentCreate, and the rootAttributes values are set in baseComponent._AfterCreate.
