ui.CharCounter Extends goog.events.EventTarget
CharCounter widget. Counts the number of characters in a input field or a text box and displays the number of additional characters that may be entered before the maximum length is reached.

Inheritance

Constructor

goog.ui.CharCounter(elInputelCountmaxLengthopt_displayMode)

Parameters

elInput : HTMLInputElement | HTMLTextAreaElement
Input or text area element to count the number of characters in.
elCount : Element
HTML element to display the remaining number of characters in. You can pass in null for this if you don't want to expose the number of chars remaining.
maxLength : number
The maximum length.
opt_displayMode : goog.ui.CharCounter.Display=
Display mode for this char counter. Defaults to goog.ui.CharCounter.Display.REMAINING.

Instance Methods

Public Protected Private
checkLength()
Checks length of text in input field and updates the counter. Truncates text if the maximum lengths is exceeded.

disposeInternal()
No description.
code »
getDisplayMode() !goog.ui.CharCounter.Display
Returns the display mode.
Returns: !goog.ui.CharCounter.Display  The display mode.
code »
getMaxLength() number
Returns the maximum length.
Returns: number  The maximum length.
code »
onChange_(event)
Change event handler for input field.
Arguments:
event : goog.events.BrowserEvent
Change event.
code »
setDisplayMode(displayMode)
Sets the display mode.
Arguments:
displayMode : !goog.ui.CharCounter.Display
The display mode.
code »
setMaxLength(maxLength)
Sets the maximum length.
Arguments:
maxLength : number
The maximum length.
code »
addEventListener(typeopt_captureopt_handlerScope)
Use #listen instead, when possible. Otherwise, use goog.events.listen if you are passing Object (instead of Function) as handler. Adds an event listener to the event target. The same handler can only be added once per the type. Even if you add the same handler multiple times using the same type then it will only be called once when the event is dispatched.
Arguments:
type : string
The type of the event to listen for.
: ?function():? | ?{handleEvent:function():?
No description.
opt_capture : boolean=
In DOM-compliant browsers, this determines whether the listener is fired during the capture or bubble phase of the event.
opt_handlerScope : Object=
Object in whose scope to call the listener.
code »
assertInitialized_()
Asserts that the event target instance is initialized properly.
code »
dispatchEvent()
No description.
code »
disposeInternal()
Removes listeners from this object. Classes that extend EventTarget may need to override this method in order to remove references to DOM Elements and additional listeners.
code »
fireListeners()
No description.
code »
getListener()
No description.
code »
getListeners()
No description.
code »
getParentEventTarget() goog.events.EventTarget
Returns the parent of this event target to use for bubbling.
Returns: goog.events.EventTarget  The parent EventTarget or null if there is no parent.

hasListener()
No description.
code »
listen()
No description.
code »
listenOnce()
No description.
code »
removeAllListeners()
No description.
code »
removeEventListener(typeopt_captureopt_handlerScope)
Use #unlisten instead, when possible. Otherwise, use goog.events.unlisten if you are passing Object (instead of Function) as handler. Removes an event listener from the event target. The handler must be the same object as the one added. If the handler has not been added then nothing is done.
Arguments:
type : string
The type of the event to listen for.
: ?function():? | ?{handleEvent:function():?
No description.
opt_capture : boolean=
In DOM-compliant browsers, this determines whether the listener is fired during the capture or bubble phase of the event.
opt_handlerScope : Object=
Object in whose scope to call the listener.
code »
setParentEventTarget(parent)
Sets the parent of this event target to use for capture/bubble mechanism.
Arguments:
parent : goog.events.EventTarget
Parent listenable (null if none).
code »
setTargetForTesting(target)
Sets the target to be used for event.target when firing event. Mainly used for testing. For example, see goog.testing.events.mixinListenable.
Arguments:
target : !Object
The target.
code »
unlisten()
No description.
code »
unlistenByKey()
No description.
code »
addOnDisposeCallback(callbackopt_scope)
Invokes a callback function when this object is disposed. Callbacks are invoked in the order in which they were added.
Arguments:
callback : function(this:T):?
The callback function.
opt_scope : T=
An optional scope to call the callback in.
code »
dispose() void
Disposes of the object. If the object hasn't already been disposed of, calls #disposeInternal. Classes that extend goog.Disposable should override #disposeInternal in order to delete references to COM objects, DOM nodes, and other disposable objects. Reentrant.
Returns: void  Nothing.
code »
disposeInternal()
Deletes or nulls out any references to COM objects, DOM nodes, or other disposable objects. Classes that extend goog.Disposable should override this method. Not reentrant. To avoid calling it twice, it must only be called from the subclass' disposeInternal method. Everywhere else the public dispose method must be used. For example:
  mypackage.MyClass = function() {
    mypackage.MyClass.base(this, 'constructor');
    // Constructor logic specific to MyClass.
    ...
  };
  goog.inherits(mypackage.MyClass, goog.Disposable);

  mypackage.MyClass.prototype.disposeInternal = function() {
    // Dispose logic specific to MyClass.
    ...
    // Call superclass's disposeInternal at the end of the subclass's, like
    // in C++, to avoid hard-to-catch issues.
    mypackage.MyClass.base(this, 'disposeInternal');
  };
code »
getDisposed() boolean
Use #isDisposed instead. No description.
Returns: boolean  Whether the object has been disposed of.
code »
isDisposed() boolean
No description.
Returns: boolean  Whether the object has been disposed of.
code »
registerDisposable(disposable)
Associates a disposable object with this object so that they will be disposed together.
Arguments:
disposable : goog.disposable.IDisposable
that will be disposed when this object is disposed.
