Extending
ToggleButton
component can be extended to
- customize the look and feel with
className
, - update the underlying DB query with
customQuery
, - connect with external interfaces using
beforeValueChange
,valueChange
andqueryChange
.
<toggle-button
...
className="custom-class"
:customQuery=`
function(value, props) {
return {
query: {
match: {
data_field: "this is a test"
}
}
}
}
`
:beforeValueChange=`
function(value) {
// called before the value is set
// returns a promise
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
// update state or component props
resolve()
// or reject()
})
}
`
@ValueChange=`
function(value) {
console.log("current value: ", value)
// set the state
// use the value with other js code
}
`
@queryChange=`
function(prevQuery, nextQuery) {
// use the query with other js code
console.log('prevQuery', prevQuery);
console.log('nextQuery', nextQuery);
}
`
/>
- customQuery
Function
takes value and props as parameters and returns the data query to be applied to the component, as defined in Elasticsearch Query DSL.Note:
customQuery is called on value changes in the ToggleButton component as long as the component is a part ofreact
dependency of at least one other component. - beforeValueChange
Function
is a callback function which accepts component’s future value as a parameter and returns a promise. It is called everytime before a component’s value changes. The promise, if and when resolved, triggers the execution of the component’s query and if rejected, kills the query execution. This method can act as a gatekeeper for query execution, since it only executes the query after the provided promise has been resolved.
Events
-
queryChange
is an event which accepts component’s prevQuery and nextQuery as parameters. It is called everytime the component’s query changes. This event is handy in cases where you want to generate a side-effect whenever the component’s query would change. -
valueChange
is an event which accepts component’s current value as a parameter. It is called everytime the component’s value changes. This event is handy in cases where you want to generate a side-effect on value selection. For example: You want to show a pop-up modal with the valid discount coupon code when a list item is selected in a “Discounted Price” SingleList. -
error gets triggered in case of an error and provides the
error
object, which can be used for debugging or giving feedback to the user if needed. -
change gets triggered when you are using the
value
props and the component’s value changes.
