NoXmlService

Normalizes the XmlDOM and provides parsing and conversion methods.

Methods

fromString(xml)

fromString takes in an xml string and parses it using the normalized DOMParser created when the service is instanciated.

Parameters

xml string (required)

A string containing a valid xml document

Returns XmlDOMObject

toObject(node, target)

Converts an XmlNode to a pure JavaScript object.

Parameters

node

XmlNode object that is the source for creating the JavaScript object.

target

This name of the tag to retrive as the source node for the new object. If not supplied node parameter is used instead.

This code needs to be corrected as it uses getElementsByTagName. instead we should be using XPath. (See: Introduction to using XPath in JavaScript for more information.)

Returns Object

format Filter

Uses the arbitrary arguments list passed to the filter to replace numbered placeholders.

var i = "Today is {1}";

$filter("format")(i, "sunny");

//Output:  "Today is sunny"

NoStateHelperService

resolveParams(params)

TODO: What does this method actuallu do?

Parameters

params Array

TODO: Describe what is in the objec returned.

Remarks

When a parameter is an array then it is a name value pair. The first element of the array is the name, and the second is the value.

	{
		"params": [
			["foo", 1000],
			["bar", false],
			"pid"
		]
	}

When a parameter is a string, then it is the name of a $stateParams value.

When a parameter is an array then it is a name value pair. The first element of the array is the name, and the second is the value. resolveParams only looks at the second element of the array. The first element is used by the caller.

	{
		"params": [
			["foo", 1000],
			["bar", false],
			"pid"
		]
	}

NoDocumentReadyService (a/k/a noDocumentReady)

This service, when enabled in a controller, keeps track of how many resources being loaded via the $templateCache service. It maintains a running count based on the $includeContentRequested, $includeContentLoaded, and $includeContentError event handlers.

@method whenReady()

Parameters

none

Returns Promise

Loading errors not rejected, but will raise a notification on the promise. The service will also raise progress notifications as the running total increases and decrease with out errors. The promise will resolve when the doucment reduces to zero.

NoAreaLoaderService

The purpose of this services it to keep track of the async loading of all noInfoPath components. The idea is to mitigate issues with ngFormControllers being set to dirty while an area is loading.

NoKendoHelpersService

@service noKendoHelpers

This services provide various helper functions that provide access details about the a given row of data in a grid, as well as, access to grid's currently selected row.

NOTE: A future enhancements will be that it allows for multi-row selection, and cell slections.

@method getConfigMethod

This is a specialty function that helps NoInfoPath wrapped widgets determine where to read thier configuration data from.

NOTE: This function may be either deprecated to relocated to NoInfoPath Helpers module in the future.

@method resolveConfigType

This is a specialty function that is typically used in conjection with getConfigMethod. It helps NoInfoPath wrapped widgets resolve what type of configuration data a directive is using..

NOTE: This function may be either deprecated to relocated to NoInfoPath Helpers module in the future.

@method getGridRow

This method, given a jQuery element, returns the closest parent that matches the tr[data-uid] selector, as a jQuery element.

This method is especially useful when used in conjection with NoInfoPath's noActionQueue service to resolve action parameters for Kendo Grid methods that require a row element as one of its parameters. It is usually expected that the action be attached to button that is child of a given row.

@method getGridRowUID

This method, given a jQuery element, returns the data-uid of the supplied element's parent row that matches the tr[data-uid] selector.

This method is especially useful when used in conjection with NoInfoPath's noActionQueue service to resolve action parameters for Kendo Grid methods that require a row data-uid as one of its parameters. It is usually expected that the action be attached to button that is child of a given row.

@method getSelectedGridRow

@method getSelectedGridRow

@method getSelectedGridRowData

@method currentGridRowData
