Method Detail

getField

HasValue<?,?> getField()

Gets the field the binding uses.

Returns:

the field for the binding

validate

default BindingValidationStatus<TARGET> validate()

Validates the field value and returns a ValidationStatus instance representing the outcome of the validation. This method is a short-hand for calling validate(boolean) with fireEvent true.

Returns:

the validation result.

See Also:

validate(boolean), Binder.validate(), Validator.apply(Object, ValueContext)

validate

BindingValidationStatus<TARGET> validate(boolean fireEvent)

Validates the field value and returns a ValidationStatus instance representing the outcome of the validation.

Parameters:

fireEvent - true to fire status event; false to not

Returns:

the validation result.

See Also:

validate()

getValidationStatusHandler

BindingValidationStatusHandler getValidationStatusHandler()

Gets the validation status handler for this Binding.

Returns:

the validation status handler for this binding

unbind

void unbind()

Unbinds the binding from its respective Binder. Removes any ValueChangeListener Registration from associated HasValue.

read

void read(BEAN bean)

Reads the value from given item and stores it to the bound field.

Parameters:

bean - the bean to read from

setReadOnly

void setReadOnly(boolean readOnly)

Sets the read-only status on for this Binding. Setting a Binding read-only will mark the field read-only and not write any values from the fields to the bean.

This helper method is the preferred way to control the read-only state of the bound field.

Parameters:

readOnly - true to set binding read-only; false to enable writes

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if trying to make binding read-write and the setter is null

isReadOnly

boolean isReadOnly()

Gets the current read-only status for this Binding.

Returns:

true if read-only; false if not

See Also:

setReadOnly(boolean)

getGetter

ValueProvider<BEAN,TARGET> getGetter()

Gets the getter associated with this Binding.

Returns:

the getter

getSetter

Setter<BEAN,TARGET> getSetter()

Gets the setter associated with this Binding.

Returns:

the setter

setAsRequiredEnabled

void setAsRequiredEnabled(boolean asRequiredEnabled)

Enable or disable asRequired validator. The validator is enabled by default.

Parameters:

asRequiredEnabled - false if asRequired validator should be disabled, true otherwise (default)

See Also:

Binder.BindingBuilder.asRequired(String), Binder.BindingBuilder.asRequired(ErrorMessageProvider)

isAsRequiredEnabled

boolean isAsRequiredEnabled()

Returns whether asRequired validator is currently enabled or not.

Returns:

false if asRequired validator is disabled true otherwise (default)

See Also:

Binder.BindingBuilder.asRequired(String), Binder.BindingBuilder.asRequired(ErrorMessageProvider)

setValidatorsDisabled

void setValidatorsDisabled(boolean validatorsDisabled)

Define whether validators are disabled or enabled for this specific binding.

Parameters:

validatorsDisabled - A boolean value.

isValidatorsDisabled

boolean isValidatorsDisabled()

Returns if validators are currently disabled or not.

Returns:

A boolean value.
