Class PositionBasedSorter

java.lang.Object

ch.tocco.nice2.model.form.spi.PositionBasedSorter

@Deprecated
public final class PositionBasedSorter
extends Object

Deprecated.

Sorts all components based on the Component.Position.

So the first priority are the categories like Component.Position.TOP, Component.Position.MIDDLE, Component.Position.BOTTOM. So the components are sorted in those three zones. After this the 'relative'-positions like Component.Position.BEFORE, Component.Position.AFTER, are applied.

This sorting always is applied to all components of the same level on the component-tree. The sorting is done after all configration-files are read. The sorting is important to set the position of components when extending a form.

 Example:
 - DetailForm
 -- name: Top
 -- address: Middel
 -- firstname: Top
 -- city: After:address
 -- email: After:name
 -- phone: Bottom
 will be sorted to:
 - DetailForm
 -- name
 -- email
 -- firstname
 -- address
 -- City
 -- Phone

Method Details

sortSequence

public static <T extends PositionBasedSorter.PositionItem>
Iterable<T> sortSequence(Iterable<T> items,
 boolean isUserAdjustmentSort)

Deprecated.

sort

public static void sort(Optional<EntityModel> backedModel,
 Component parent,
 boolean isUserAdjustmentSort)

Deprecated.

unwrap

public static <V> List<V> unwrap(Iterable<PositionBasedSorter.PositionItem<V>> input,
 Function<Tuple2<V,List<V>>,V> parentChild)

Deprecated.

Unwraps a list of PositionBasedSorter.PositionItems and returns a list of its containing values. If it is a nested structure (`getChildren()` returns a non-empty list), it is unwrappsd recursively and the provided function `parentChild` is called with a tuple of the unwrapped value and its children and is exspected to set the children list for the value returning the updated value.
