@jimka/typescript-ui / layout / VBox

Class: VBox

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/VBox.ts:24

A layout manager that places children in a single vertical column, using each child's preferred height and an optional width-stretching mode.

Extends

Constructors

new VBox()

ts
new VBox(spacing: number | VBoxOptions, options?: VBoxOptions): VBox

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/VBox.ts:30

Parameters

spacing

number | VBoxOptions

options?

VBoxOptions

Returns

VBox

Overrides

LayoutManager.constructor

Methods

attach()

ts
attach(container: Component): this

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:58

Associates this layout manager with a container component.

Parameters

container

Component

The container component to attach to.

Returns

this

Inherited from

LayoutManager.attach


delLayoutConstraints()

ts
delLayoutConstraints(component: Component): undefined | LayoutConstraints

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:276

Removes and returns the stored layout constraints for a component.

Parameters

component

Component

The component whose constraints should be removed.

Returns

undefined | LayoutConstraints

The removed constraints, or undefined if none were stored.

Inherited from

LayoutManager.delLayoutConstraints


detach()

ts
detach(): this

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:67

Dissociates this layout manager from its container.

Returns

this

Inherited from

LayoutManager.detach


doLayout()

ts
doLayout(): void

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/VBox.ts:218

Places children top-to-bottom using their preferred heights, with optional width stretching.

Returns

void

Remarks

When stretching is enabled, each child's width is clamped to its max size rather than its preferred size. Children without a preferred size fall back to defaultComponentHeight. Children with a weight layout constraint share the remaining height (after unweighted children have taken their preferred heights) proportionally to their weight values.

Overrides

LayoutManager.doLayout


getClassName()

ts
getClassName(): string

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/core/BaseObject.ts:44

Returns the runtime class name of this object.

Returns

string

The name of the constructor function as a string.

Inherited from

LayoutManager.getClassName


getComponentSpacing()

ts
getComponentSpacing(): number

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/VBox.ts:67

Returns the pixel spacing between child components.

Returns

number

The current spacing in pixels.


getContainer()

ts
getContainer(): null | Component

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:78

Returns the container component this layout manager is attached to.

Returns

null | Component

The attached container, or null if not attached.

Inherited from

LayoutManager.getContainer


getId()

ts
getId(): string

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/core/BaseObject.ts:24

Returns the unique identifier for this object.

Returns

string

The UUID string assigned at construction time.

Inherited from

LayoutManager.getId


getLayoutConstraints()

ts
getLayoutConstraints(component: Component): undefined | LayoutConstraints

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:291

Returns the stored layout constraints for a component.

Parameters

component

Component

The component to look up.

Returns

undefined | LayoutConstraints

The stored constraints, or undefined if none are set.

Inherited from

LayoutManager.getLayoutConstraints


getMaxSize()

ts
getMaxSize(): null | Size

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/VBox.ts:179

Returns the maximum size: the narrowest child maximum width and the sum of child maximum heights plus spacing.

Returns

null | Size

The maximum {width, height}, or null if no container is attached.

Overrides

LayoutManager.getMaxSize


getMinSize()

ts
getMinSize(): null | Size

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/VBox.ts:143

Returns the minimum size: the widest child minimum width and the sum of child minimum heights plus spacing.

Returns

null | Size

The minimum {width, height}, or null if no container is attached.

Overrides

LayoutManager.getMinSize


getPreferredSize()

ts
getPreferredSize(): null | Size

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/VBox.ts:107

Returns the preferred size: the widest child width and the sum of child heights plus spacing.

Returns

null | Size

The preferred {width, height}, or null if no container is attached.

Overrides

LayoutManager.getPreferredSize


isStretching()

ts
isStretching(): boolean

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/VBox.ts:87

Returns whether children stretch to fill the container width.

Returns

boolean

true if stretching is enabled.


placeComponent()

ts
placeComponent(
   component: Component, 
   x: number, 
   y: number, 
   maxWidth: number, 
   maxHeight: number, 
   fill?: null | FillType, 
   anchor?: null | AnchorType): void

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:126

Positions and sizes a child component within the given bounds, respecting fill and anchor constraints.

Parameters

component

Component

The child component to position.

x

number

Left edge of the cell in the container's coordinate space.

y

number

Top edge of the cell in the container's coordinate space.

maxWidth

number

Available width for the component.

maxHeight

number

Available height for the component.

fill?

Optional. Fill strategy overriding the component's own constraints.

null | FillType

anchor?

Optional. Anchor point overriding the component's own constraints.

null | AnchorType

Returns

void

Remarks

The method checks the component's stored LayoutConstraints first; the fill and anchor parameters serve as fallbacks. After positioning, doLayout is called on the child so nested layouts are updated in a single pass.

Inherited from

LayoutManager.placeComponent

setComponentSpacing(spacing: number): this

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/VBox.ts:76

Parameters

id

string

The new identifier string to assign.

Returns

this

Inherited from

LayoutManager.setId


setLayoutConstraints()

ts
setLayoutConstraints(component: Component, constraints?: LayoutConstraints): undefined | LayoutConstraints

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:260

Stores layout constraints for a component, or removes them if constraints is undefined.

Parameters

constraints?

LayoutConstraints

Optional. The constraints to store; omit to delete existing constraints.

Returns

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/VBox.ts:96

Pass true to enable width stretching.

Returns

this
