      public Crud(Class<E> beanType, Grid<E> grid, CrudEditor<E> editor)

      Instantiates a new Crud using a custom grid.

      Parameters:

      beanType - the class of items

      grid - the grid with which the items listing should be displayed

      editor - the editor for manipulating individual items

    • Crud

      public Crud(Class<E> beanType, CrudEditor<E> editor)

      Instantiates a new Crud for the given bean type and uses the supplied editor. Furthermore, it displays the items using the built-in grid.

      Parameters:

      beanType - the class of items

      editor - the editor for manipulating individual items

      See Also:

    • Crud

      public Crud()

      Instantiates a new Crud with no grid, editor and runtime bean type information. The editor and bean type must be initialized before a Crud is put into full use therefore this constructor only exists for partial initialization in order to support template binding.

  • Method Details

    • onAttach

      protected void onAttach(AttachEvent attachEvent)

      Description copied from class: Component

      Called when the component is attached to a UI.

      This method is invoked before the AttachEvent is fired for the component.

      Make sure to call super.onAttach when overriding this method.

      Overrides:

      onAttach in class Component

      Parameters:

      attachEvent - the attach event

    • edit

      public void edit(E item, Crud.EditMode editMode)

      Initiates an item edit from the server-side. This sets the supplied item as the working bean and opens the edit dialog.

      Parameters:

      item - the item to be edited

      editMode - the edit mode

    • setOpened

      public void setOpened(boolean opened)

      Opens or closes the editor. In most use cases opening or closing the editor is automatically done by the component and this method does not need to be called.

      Parameters:

      opened - true to open or false to close

    • setDirty

      public void setDirty(boolean dirty)

      Set the dirty state of the Crud.

      A dirty Crud has its editor Save button enabled. Ideally a Crud automatically detects if it is dirty based on interactions with the form fields within it but in some special cases (e.g with composites) this might not be automatically detected. For such cases this method could be used to explicitly set the dirty state of the Crud editor.

      NOTE: editor Save button will not be automatically enabled in case its enabled state was changed with getSaveButton()

      Parameters:

      dirty - true if dirty and false if otherwise.
