public class MockDataSource
extends DataSource

A special kind of client-only DataSource that can be configured with "mock data" - a simple text format for table or tree data.

MockDataSources are produced by the Reify Mockup Importer when starting from mockup formats that use the mock data format. The docs for the Reify Mockup Importer explain various steps for converting a MockDataSource to a real DataSource.

MockDataSource is primarily intended as a temporary form of DataSource used during the process of converting a mockup into a real application. Generally, if creating a client-only DataSource in Java, there is no reason to use the mock data format, as the mock data is not especially readable when written as a String literal. The mock data format can be a slightly more compact and readable as compared to declaring DataSource.cacheData in XML.

Note: If a MockDataSource has addGlobalId set to true, it will be made available in global scope.

Unlike other DataSources, if a MockDataSource is created with an ID that is already in use by another DataSource, the existing DataSource will not be destroy()'d and the new MockDataSource will not be available by ID.
Similarly, if a MockDataSource exists and a new DataSource is created with the same ID the MockDataSource will be destroy()'d automatically without logging a warning to the developer console.
This means if application code changes to replace a MockDataSource with a "real" dataSource it will function as expected, without warnings, even if the MockDataSource creation code was not removed, regardless of the order in which the MockDataSource and "real" dataSource are created.

setMockDataFormat

public MockDataSource setMockDataFormat(MockDataFormat mockDataFormat)
                                 throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

Format of data provided in mockData. See MockDataFormat.

Parameters:

mockDataFormat - New mockDataFormat value. Default value is "mock"

Returns:

MockDataSource instance, for chaining setter calls

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

getMockDataFormat

public MockDataFormat getMockDataFormat()

Format of data provided in mockData. See MockDataFormat.

Returns:

Current mockDataFormat value. Default value is "mock"

setMockDataType

public MockDataSource setMockDataType(MockDataType mockDataType)
                               throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

When mockDataFormat is "mock", whether mockData is in the "grid" or "tree" format. See MockDataType.

If not specified, the type will be detected from the data.

Parameters:

mockDataType - New mockDataType value. Default value is null

Returns:

MockDataSource instance, for chaining setter calls

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the underlying component has been created

getMockDataType

public MockDataType getMockDataType()

When mockDataFormat is "mock", whether mockData is in the "grid" or "tree" format. See MockDataType.

If not specified, the type will be detected from the data.

Returns:

Current mockDataType value. Default value is null

setDefaultProperties

public static void setDefaultProperties(MockDataSource mockDataSourceProperties)

Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties set on the SmartGWT class instance passed to this function before its underlying SmartClient JS object was created. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

Parameters:

mockDataSourceProperties - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created

getMockDataAsRecord

public Record[] getMockDataAsRecord()

Deprecated. in favor of getMockDataAsRecordArray().
