Properties

Through its various properties the yContainer can be configured to suit your needs. The display below provides you with an overview of all the yContainer properties.

Properties can be changed directly through three methods:

• Inside the Toolbar, which is positioned in your workarea next to your component where you need it. It shows the most important properties, thus providing a fast and efficient way to configure your component in the most basic way.
• It may also occur in the Toolbar Extension, which is a seamless extension accesible as a dropdown item of the Toolbar. It extends the functionality of the Toolbar by providing advanced pickers for most used properties.
• Inside the Detail Panel, which is located in the righthand drawer. Every property of a component can be configured here.

Usage

In this section you'll find a collection of application scenarios and examples that illustrate how to leverage the yContainer in ways that deviate from its standard behavior, as defined by yBase. This section aims to inspire and guide you through various possibilities, helping you to implement more complex or unique functionalities tailored to your specific needs. General properties that are universally applicable can be found in the yBase usage section.

If the content exceeds the parent element itself, a scrollbar appear. When needed, this scrollbar can be removed while keeping scrollability, when toggling show-scrollbar.

Theming

How to:

You can use the yContainer to theme submodules inside your page.

1. Navigate to "Events" inside the Detail Panel and modify "EvtInit".
2. Set SubTheme based on a selection from yToggle.

Code example:

In this example the user can adjust the current theme by toggling, which changes the SubTheme of the container every time the container is reloaded. We read the value from a toggle which needs to be created.

EvtInit

// function onContainer_6_EvtInit (apiObject, component, eventData) {

const useThemeToggle = apiObject.ui.getObject(1, "y-toggle");
const useDarkTheme = useThemeToggle.get("style", "thumb", "value");

if (useDarkTheme) {
  component.set("generic", "meta", "SubTheme", "darkTheme");
} else {
  component.set("generic", "meta", "SubTheme", "lightTheme");
}

// }
