DatePicker.setAutoselect?

Guttorm · March 22, 2024, 2:49pm

I’ve added textField.setAutoselect(true) to my app, and that works just fine.
This method is on TextFieldBase, so DatePicker is excluded, which is annoying.

textField.setAutoselect does:

getElement().setProperty(“autoselect”, autoselect);

That works on DatePicker as well…

Looks like DatePicker should’ve inherited from TextFieldBase

You can file a feature request. Maybe there is already one Issues · vaadin/flow-components · GitHub

Didn’t you create an issue for that already? ;) If it annoys you, the change looks pretty simple - so creating a PR is probably doable

enhancement

### Description TextField and AbstractNumberField have setAutoselect, but sever…al others, like DatePicker, TimePicker and ComboBox only have the client-side attribute ### Expected outcome All client-side components with "autoselect" should have a server-side setAutoselect Also, there should be an HasAutoselect interface that all should implement (like HasAutocomplete, HasAutocapitalize, etc) so that I can loop over my components and do `if(component instanceof HasAutoSelect) { ((HasAutoSelect)component).setAutoSelect(true); }` ### Minimal reproducible example ``` // This compiles: TextField textField = new TextField("TextField"); textField.setAutoselect(true); IntegerField integerField = new IntegerField("IntegerField"); integerField.setAutoselect(true); // This should work, but doesn't compile DatePicker datePicker = new DatePicker("DatePicker"); datePicker.setAutoselect(true); // This workaround works, so the client-side support is there datePicker.getElement().setAttribute("autoselect", "true"); ``` ### Steps to reproduce N/A ### Environment Vaadin - 23.1.0 ### Browsers Issue is not browser related

2022… I had forgotten about that

When that is said, I have noticed that Vaadin have been picking up older issues lately, so maybe there’s hope.

No need to wait, Viritin 2.8.5 (currently syncing to central) contains something better than this “autoselect thingie”, full Selection API, now also for VDatePicker, coming your way

viritin/flow-viritin/blob/e1f8f7d2bcbd52d42fabd416c30cdadb57c5aad4/src/test/java/org/vaadin/firitin/SelectionApiView.java#L68-L73


      
          VDatePicker datePicker = new VDatePicker();
          datePicker.setValue(LocalDate.now());
          add(datePicker,
                  new Button("Select all in date picker", e -> datePicker.selectAll()),
                  new Button("Select 0-2", e -> datePicker.setSelectionRange(0, 2))
          );
