Class ComponentAbstract

constructor

• new Component(container): Component

• Create a new component and register it with the given container.

  Parameters

  • container: null | Reactor

    The reactor that will contain the new component, null if this is an instance of App, in which case the component will be designated as its own container.

    Note that each subclass implementation needs to call the method _linkToRuntimeObject immediately after calling this super constructor in order to establish a link with the runtime object.

  Returns Component

StaticpathSeparator

_getFullyQualifiedName

• _getFullyQualifiedName(): string

• Return a string that identifies this component. The name is a path constructed as [App]/[..]/[Container]/[This].

  Returns string

_getName

• _getName(): string

• Return a string that identifies this component within its container. If no such string was found, return the name of the constructor.

  Returns string

_isContainedBy

• _isContainedBy(reactor): boolean

• Confirm whether or not this component is contained by the given reactor.

  Parameters

  • reactor: Reactor

    The presumptive container of this component.

  Returns boolean

_isContainedByContainerOf

• _isContainedByContainerOf(reactor): boolean

• Confirm whether or not this component is contained by the container of the given reactor.

  Parameters

  • reactor: Reactor

    The container presumptive container of the container of this component.

  Returns boolean

_isRegistered

• _isRegistered(): boolean

• Report whether this component has been registered with its container or not. In principle, all components should have a container, but at the time of their construction there is a brief period where they are not. This is the only moment that a component is allowed register with its container.

  Returns boolean

Abstract_receiveRuntimeObject

• _receiveRuntimeObject(runtime): void

• Store a reference to the given runtime object as a private class member.

  Parameters

  • runtime: Runtime

  Returns void

StatickeyOfMatchingBank

• keyOfMatchingBank(member, reactor): string

• Parameters

  • member: Component
  • reactor: Reactor

  Returns string

StatickeyOfMatchingEntry

• keyOfMatchingEntry(component, object): string

• Given a component and its container (the global object if the component is an App), return the key of the entry that matches the component.

  Parameters

  • component: Component

    a component of which the object is assumed to be its container
  • object: object

    the assumed container of the component

  Returns string

  the key of the entry that matches the component

StatickeyOfMatchingMultiport

• keyOfMatchingMultiport(port, reactor): string

• Given a port and its containing reactor, return the key of the entry that matches a multiport found in the reactor that matches the port.

  Parameters

  • port: Component

    a port that is assumed to be a constituent of a multiport declared on the given reactor
  • reactor: Reactor

    a reactor that is assumed to have a multiport of which one of the constituents is the given port

  Returns string

  an identifier for the port based on its location in a matching multiport
