Description
Index mapper stores, registers and manages the indexes on the basis of calculations collected from the subsidiary maps. It should be seen as a single source of truth (regarding row and column indexes, for example, their sequence, information if they are skipped in the process of rendering (hidden or trimmed), values linked to them) for any operation that considers CRUD actions such as insertion, movement, removal etc, and is used to properly calculate physical and visual indexes translations in both ways. It has a built-in cache that is updated only when the data or structure changes.
Physical index is a type of an index from the sequence of indexes assigned to the data source rows or columns (from 0 to n, where n is number of the cells on the axis of data set). Visual index is a type of an index from the sequence of indexes assigned to rows or columns existing in DataMap (from 0 to n, where n is number of the cells on the axis of data set). Renderable index is a type of an index from the sequence of indexes assigned to rows or columns whose may be rendered (when they are in a viewport; from 0 to n, where n is number of the cells renderable on the axis).
There are different kinds of index maps which may be registered in the collections and can be used by a reference.
They also expose public API and trigger two local hooks such as init (on initialization) and change (on change).
These are: IndexesSequence, PhysicalIndexToValueMap, LinkedPhysicalIndexToValueMap, HidingMap, and TrimmingMap.
Methods
createAndRegisterIndexMap
Source code (opens new window)indexMapper.createAndRegisterIndexMap(indexName, mapType, [initValueOrFn]) ⇒ IndexMap
Creates and register the new IndexMap for specified IndexMapper instance.
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| indexName | string | The uniq index name. |
| mapType | string | The index map type (e.q. "hiding, "trimming", "physicalIndexToValue"). |
| [initValueOrFn] | * | optional The initial value for the index map. |
createChangesObserver
Source code (opens new window)indexMapper.createChangesObserver(indexMapType) ⇒ ChangesObserver
It creates and returns the new instance of the ChangesObserver object. The object allows listening to the index changes that happen while the Handsontable is running.
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| indexMapType | string | The index map type which we want to observe. Currently, only the 'hiding' index map types are observable. |
fitToLength
Source code (opens new window)indexMapper.fitToLength(length)
Trim/extend the mappers to fit the desired length.
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| length | number | New mapper length. |
getFirstNotHiddenIndex
Source code (opens new window)indexMapper.getFirstNotHiddenIndex(fromVisualIndex, incrementBy, searchAlsoOtherWayAround, indexForNextSearch) ⇒ number | null
Deprecated
Search for the first visible, not hidden index (represented by a visual index).
This method is deprecated and will be removed in a next major version of Handsontable. Use the IndexMapper#getNearestNotHiddenIndex method instead.
| Param | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| fromVisualIndex | number | Visual start index. Starting point for finding destination index. Start point may be destination point when handled index is NOT hidden. | |
| incrementBy | number | We are searching for a next visible indexes by increasing (to be precise, or decreasing) indexes. This variable represent indexes shift. We are looking for an index: - for rows: from the top to the bottom (increasing indexes, then variable should have value 1) or other way around (decreasing indexes, then variable should have the value -1) - for columns: from the left to the right (increasing indexes, then variable should have value 1) or other way around (decreasing indexes, then variable should have the value -1). | |
| searchAlsoOtherWayAround | boolean | false | The argument determine if an additional other way around search should be performed, when the search in the first direction had no effect in finding visual index. |
| indexForNextSearch | number | Visual index for next search, when the flag is truthy. |
Returns: number | null - Visual column index or null.
getIndexesSequence

getNearestNotHiddenIndex

Search for the nearest not-hidden row or column.
| Param | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| fromVisualIndex | number | The visual index of the row or column from which the search starts. If the row or column from which the search starts is not hidden, the method simply returns the fromVisualIndex number. | |
| searchDirection | number | The search direction.1: search from fromVisualIndex to the end of the dataset.-1: search from fromVisualIndex to the beginning of the dataset (i.e., to the row or column at visual index 0). | |
| searchAlsoOtherWayAround | boolean | false | true: if a search in a first direction failed, try the opposite direction.false: search in one direction only. |
Returns: number | null - A visual index of a row or column, or null.
