dojox/mobile/DataCarousel

Introduction ¶

Deprecated. Since V1.8, use dojox/mobile/StoreCarousel instead.

DataCarousel is a subclass of dojox/mobile/Carousel which can generate contents according to the given dojo/data store.

Constructor Parameters ¶

Inherited from dojox/mobile/Carousel¶

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
numVisible	Number	3	The number of visible items.
itemWidth	Number	0	The number of visible items (`numVisible`) is determined by (`carousel_width` / `itemWidth`). If `itemWidth` is specified, the user-specified `numVisible` is ignored and it is automatically calculated. If `resize()` is called, `numVisible` is recalculated and the layout changes accordingly. If `itemWidth` is 0 (default), `numVisible` is used as it is, and recalculation never happens.
title	String	“”	A title of the carousel to be displayed on the title bar.
pageIndicator	Boolean	true	If true, a page indicator, that is a series of small dots that indicate the current page, is displayed on the title bar.
navButton	Boolean	false	If true, navigation buttons are displayed on the title bar.
height	String	“300px”	Explicitly specified height of the widget (ex. “300px”). If “inherit” is specified, the height is inherited from its offset parent.
selectable	Boolean	true	If true, an item can be selected by clicking it.

Inherited from dojox/mobile/_DataMixin¶

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
store	Object	null	Reference to data provider object used by this widget.
query	Object	null	A query that can be passed to ‘store’ to initially filter the items. See dojo/data for details.
queryOptions	Object	null	An optional parameter for the query. See dojo/data for details.

In this example, no CarouselItem is defined as children of DataCarousel. The CarouselItems are generated according to sample.json. Each item in the json object is used as attributes for CarouselItem widget.

}

Programmatic example¶

<!-- Need to load the theme files for Carousel and PageIndicator as well as the base theme file -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="dojox/mobile/deviceTheme.js"
        data-dojo-config="mblThemeFiles: ['base','Carousel','PageIndicator']"></script>

require([
    "dojo/ready",
    "dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore",
    "dojox/mobile/DataCarousel",
    "dojox/mobile",
    "dojox/mobile/parser"
], function(ready, ItemFileReadStore, DataCarousel){
    ready(function(){
        var sampleStore = new ItemFileReadStore({url: "sample.json"});
        var carousel = new DataCarousel({
            store: sampleStore,
            height: "150px",
            navButton: true,
            numVisible: 2,
            title: "Category"
        }, "carousel1");
        carousel.startup();
    });
});

<div id="carousel1"></div>

// sample.json
{
    "items": [
        { "src": "images/dish.jpg", "value": "dish", "headerText": "dish" },
        { "src": "images/glass.jpg", "value": "glass", "headerText": "glass" },
        { "src": "images/stone.jpg", "value": "stone", "headerText": "stone" },
        { "src": "images/shell.jpg", "value": "shell", "headerText": "shell" }
    ]
}

Specifying the carousel item width¶

When you specify the carousel item width by using “itemWidth” parameter, the number of visible items are automatically calculated according to the carousel width. In this example, two items are visible in the carousel on portrait mode while three items are visible on landscape mode.

<!-- Need to load the theme files for Carousel and PageIndicator as well as the base theme file -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="dojox/mobile/deviceTheme.js"
        data-dojo-config="mblThemeFiles: ['base','Carousel','PageIndicator']"></script>

require([
    "dojox/mobile",
    "dojox/mobile/parser",
    "dojox/mobile/DataCarousel",
    "dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore"
]);

<div data-dojo-type="dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore"
        data-dojo-id="sampleStore" data-dojo-props='url:"sample.json"'></div>
<div id="carousel1" data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/DataCarousel"
        data-dojo-props='store:sampleStore, height:"150px", navButton:true, itemWidth:150, title:"Category"'>
</div>

// sample.json
{
    "items": [
        { "src": "images/dish.jpg", "value": "dish", "headerText": "dish" },
        { "src": "images/glass.jpg", "value": "glass", "headerText": "glass" },
        { "src": "images/stone.jpg", "value": "stone", "headerText": "stone" },
        { "src": "images/shell.jpg", "value": "shell", "headerText": "shell" }
    ]
}

On portrait mode:

On landscape mode:

Handling the event when a carousel item is selected¶

This example handles the event when a carousel item is selected by subscribing to “/dojox/mobile/carouselSelect” topic.

<!-- Need to load the theme files for Carousel and PageIndicator as well as the base theme file -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="dojox/mobile/deviceTheme.js"
        data-dojo-config="mblThemeFiles: ['base','Carousel','PageIndicator']"></script>

require([
    "dijit/registry",
    "dojo/_base/connect",
    "dojo/ready",
    "dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore",
    "dojox/mobile/parser",
    "dojox/mobile",
    "dojox/mobile/DataCarousel"
], function(registry, connect, ready){
    ready(function(){
        connect.subscribe("/dojox/mobile/carouselSelect", function(carousel, itemWidget, itemObject, index){
            // Each argument means:
            //   carousel - The carousel widget containing the selected item
            //   itemWidget - The selected item widget
            //   itemObject - The item object in the data store for the selected item widget
            //   index - The index of the selected item in the carousel items

            var msg = "Carousel   : " + carousel.id + "<br/>"
                    + "ItemWidget : " + itemWidget.id + "<br/>"
                    + "ItemObject : " + itemObject.value + "<br/>"
                    + "Index      : " + index;
            registry.byId("msg").containerNode.innerHTML = msg;
        });
    })
});

require([
    "dijit/registry",
    "dojo/_base/connect",
    "dojo/ready",
    "dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore",
    "dojox/mobile/parser",
    "dojox/mobile",
    "dojox/mobile/DataCarousel"
], function(registry, connect, ready){
    ready(function(){
        connect.subscribe("/dojox/mobile/carouselSelect", function(carousel, itemWidget, itemObject, index){
            // Each argument means:
            //   carousel - The carousel widget containing the selected item
            //   itemWidget - The selected item widget
            //   itemObject - The item object in the data store for the selected item widget
            //   index - The index of the selected item in the carousel items

var msg = "Carousel   : " + carousel.id + "<br/>"
                    + "ItemWidget : " + itemWidget.id + "<br/>"
                    + "ItemObject : " + itemObject.value + "<br/>"
                    + "Index      : " + index;
            registry.byId("msg").containerNode.innerHTML = msg;
        });
    })
});

<div data-dojo-type="dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore"
        data-dojo-id="sampleStore" data-dojo-props='url:"sample.json"'></div>
<div id="carousel1" data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/DataCarousel"
        data-dojo-props='store:sampleStore, height:"150px", navButton:true, numVisible:2, title:"Category"'>
</div>
<div id="msg" data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/RoundRect" style="font-size:14px"></div>

// sample.json
{
    "items": [
        { "src": "images/dish.jpg", "value": "dish", "headerText": "dish" },
        { "src": "images/glass.jpg", "value": "glass", "headerText": "glass" },
        { "src": "images/stone.jpg", "value": "stone", "headerText": "stone" },
        { "src": "images/shell.jpg", "value": "shell", "headerText": "shell" }
    ]
}

Filtering items¶

You can initially filter items by using “query” parameter. This example filters the items with value starting with “s”.

<!-- Need to load the theme files for Carousel and PageIndicator as well as the base theme file -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="dojox/mobile/deviceTheme.js"
        data-dojo-config="mblThemeFiles: ['base','Carousel','PageIndicator']"></script>

require([
    "dojox/mobile",
    "dojox/mobile/parser",
    "dojox/mobile/DataCarousel",
    "dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore"
]);

<div data-dojo-type="dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore"
    data-dojo-id="sampleStore" data-dojo-props='url:"sample.json"'></div>
<div id="carousel1" data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/DataCarousel"
    data-dojo-props='store:sampleStore, height:"150px", navButton:true, numVisible:2,
                     title:"Category", query:{value:"s*"}'>
</div>

// sample.json
{
    "items": [
        { "src": "images/dish.jpg", "value": "dish", "headerText": "dish" },
        { "src": "images/glass.jpg", "value": "glass", "headerText": "glass" },
        { "src": "images/stone.jpg", "value": "stone", "headerText": "stone" },
        { "src": "images/shell.jpg", "value": "shell", "headerText": "shell" }
    ]
}

Using various widgets as an item of Carousel¶

You can use other various widgets than dojox/mobile/CarouselItem as an item of DataCarousel widget by specifying the widget class name to the “type” parameter of json object in the data store. This example uses dojox/mobile/ContentPane and dijit/CalendarLite widgets as well as CarouselItem widget.

<!-- Need to load the theme files for dijit/Calendar, Carousel and PageIndicator -->
<link href="dijit/themes/dijit.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dojox/mobile/deviceTheme.js"
        data-dojo-config="mblThemeFiles: ['base','Carousel','PageIndicator','dijit.Calendar']"></script>

// You do not need to add "dojox/mobile/ContentPane" and "dijit/CalendarLite" since they are loaded lazily.
require([
    "dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore",
    "dojox/mobile",
    "dojox/mobile/parser",
    "dojox/mobile/DataCarousel"
]);

<div data-dojo-type="dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore"
    data-dojo-id="sampleStore" data-dojo-props='url:"sample2.json"'></div>
<div id="carousel1" data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/DataCarousel"
    data-dojo-props='store:sampleStore, height:"250px", navButton:true, numVisible:1, title:"Category"'>
</div>

// sample2.json
{
    "items": [
        { "type": "dojox/mobile/ContentPane", "props": 'href:"data/fragment.html"' },
        { "type": "dijit.CalendarLite" },
        { "src": "images/shell.jpg", "value": "shell", "headerText": "shell" }
    ]
}

<!-- data/fragment.html (HTML fragment file) -->
<div data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/RoundRect" shadow="true">
    <p><img src="images/tab-icon-33h.png" align="left" width="60" height="60">
