Struct perspective_viewer::custom_elements::viewer::PerspectiveViewerElement

pub struct PerspectiveViewerElement { /* private fields */ }

The <perspective-viewer> custom element.

JavaScript Examples

Create a new <perspective-viewer>:

const viewer = document.createElement("perspective-viewer");
window.body.appendChild(viewer);

Implementations

impl PerspectiveViewerElement

pub fn load(&self, table: JsValue) -> ApiFuture<()>

Loads a Table (or rather, a Javascript Promise which returns a Table) in this viewer.

When PerspectiveViewerElement::load resolves, the first frame of the UI + visualization is guaranteed to have been drawn. Awaiting the result of this method in a try/catch block will capture any errors thrown during the loading process, or from the Table Promise itself.

A Table can be created using the @finos/perspective library from NPM (see perspective_js documentation for details).

JavaScript Examples

import perspective from "@finos/perspective";

const worker = await perspective.worker();
viewer.load(worker.table("x,y\n1,2"));

pub fn delete(&mut self) -> ApiFuture<bool>

Delete the internal View and all associated state, rendering this <perspective-viewer> unusable and freeing all associated resources. Does not delete the supplied Table (as this is constructed by the callee).

Allowing a <perspective-viewer> to be garbage-collected without calling PerspectiveViewerElement::delete will leak WASM memory!

JavaScript Examples

await viewer.delete();

pub fn getView(&self) -> ApiFuture<View>

Get the underlying View for this viewer.

Use this method to get promgrammatic access to the View as currently configured by the user, for e.g. serializing as an Apache Arrow before passing to another library.

JavaScript Examples

const view = await viewer.getView();

pub fn getTable(&self, wait_for_table: Option<bool>) -> ApiFuture<Table>

Get the underlying Table for this viewer (as passed to PerspectiveViewerElement::load).

Arguments

• wait_for_table - whether to wait for PerspectiveViewerElement::load to be called, or fail immediately if PerspectiveViewerElement::load has not yet been called.

JavaScript Examples

const table = await viewer.getTable();

pub fn getRenderStats(&self) -> ApiResult<JsValue>

Get render statistics. Some fields of the returned stats object are relative to the last time PerspectiveViewerElement::getRenderStats was called, ergo calling this method resets these fields.

JavaScript Examples

const {virtual_fps, actual_fps} = await viewer.getRenderStats();

pub fn flush(&self) -> ApiFuture<()>

Flush any pending modifications to this <perspective-viewer>. Since <perspective-viewer>’s API is almost entirely async, it may take some milliseconds before any user-initiated changes to the View affects the rendered element. If you want to make sure all pending actions have been rendered, call and await Self::flush.

JavaScript Examples

In this example, Self::restore is called without await, but the eventual render which results from this call can still be awaited by immediately awaiting Self::flush instead.

viewer.restore(config);
await viewer.flush();

pub fn restore(&self, update: JsValue) -> ApiFuture<()>

Restores this element from a full/partial perspective_js::JsViewConfig.

One of the best ways to use Self::restore is by first configuring a <perspective-viewer> as you wish, then using either the Debug panel or “Copy” -> “config.json” from the toolbar menu to snapshot the Self::restore argument as JSON.

Arguments

• update - The config to restore to, as returned by Self::save in either “json”, “string” or “arraybuffer” format.

JavaScript Examples

Apply a group_by to the current View, without modifying/resetting other fields:

await viewer.restore({group_by: ["State"]});

pub fn save(&self, format: Option<String>) -> ApiFuture<JsValue>

Save this element to serialized state object, one which can be restored via the Self::restore method.

Arguments

• format - Supports “json” (default), “arraybuffer” or “string”.

JavaScript Examples

Get the current group_by setting:

const {group_by} = await viewer.restore();

Reset workflow attached to an external button myResetButton:

const token = await viewer.save();
myResetButton.addEventListener("clien", async () => {
    await viewer.restore(token);
});

pub fn download(&self, flat: Option<bool>) -> ApiFuture<()>

Download this viewer’s internal View data as a .csv file.

Arguments

• flat - Whether to use the current perspective_js::JsViewConfig to generate this data, or use the default.

JavaScript Examples

myDownloadButton.addEventListener("click", async () => {
    await viewer.download();
})

pub fn copy(&self, flat: Option<bool>) -> ApiFuture<()>

Copy this viewer’s View or Table data as CSV to the system clipboard.

Arguments

• flat - Whether to use the current perspective_js::JsViewConfig to generate this data, or use the default.

JavaScript Examples

myDownloadButton.addEventListener("click", async () => {
    await viewer.copy();
})

pub fn reset(&self, reset_all: Option<bool>) -> ApiFuture<()>

Reset the viewer’s ViewerConfig to the default.

Arguments

• reset_all - If set, will clear expressions and column settings as well.

JavaScript Examples

await viewer.reset();

pub fn resize(&self, force: Option<bool>) -> ApiFuture<()>

Recalculate the viewer’s dimensions and redraw.

Use this method to tell <perspective-viewer> its dimensions have changed when auto-size mode has been disabled via Self::setAutoSize. Self::resize resolves when the resize-initiated redraw of this element has completed.

Arguments

• force - If Self::resize is called with false or without an argument, and auto-size mode is enabled via Self::setAutoSize, Self::resize will log a warning and auto-disable auto-size mode.

JavaScript Examples

await viewer.resize(true)

pub fn setAutoSize(&mut self, autosize: bool)

Sets the auto-size behavior of this component.

When true, this <perspective-viewer> will register a ResizeObserver on itself and call Self::resize whenever its own dimensions change. However, when embedded in a larger application context, you may want to call Self::resize manually to avoid over-rendering; in this case auto-sizing can be disabled via this method. Auto-size behavior is enabled by default.

Arguments

• autosize - Whether to enable auto-size behavior or not.

JavaScript Examples

Disable auto-size behavior:

viewer.setAutoSize(false);

pub fn setAutoPause(&mut self, autopause: bool)

Sets the auto-pause behavior of this component.

When true, this <perspective-viewer> will register an IntersectionObserver on itself and subsequently skip rendering whenever its viewport visibility changes. Auto-pause is enabled by default.

Arguments

• autopause Whether to enable auto-pause behavior or not.

JavaScript Examples

Disable auto-size behavior:

viewer.setAutoPause(false);

pub fn getSelection(&self) -> Option<JsViewWindow>

Return a perspective_js::JsViewWindow for the currently selected region.

pub fn setSelection(&self, window: Option<JsViewWindow>) -> ApiResult<()>

Set the selection perspective_js::JsViewWindow for this element.

pub fn getEditPort(&self) -> Result<f64, JsValue>

Get this viewer’s edit port for the currently loaded Table (see Table::update for details on ports).

pub fn restyleElement(&self) -> ApiFuture<JsValue>

Restyle all plugins from current document.

Self::restyleElement must be called for many runtime changes to CSS properties to be reflected in an already-rendered <perspective-viewer>.

JavaScript Examples

viewer.style = "--icon--color: red";
await viewer.restyleElement();

pub fn resetThemes(&self, themes: Option<Box<[JsValue]>>) -> ApiFuture<JsValue>

Set the available theme names available in the status bar UI.

Calling Self::resetThemes may cause the current theme to switch, if e.g. the new theme set does not contain the current theme.

JavaScript Examples

Restrict <perspective-viewer> theme options to only default light and dark themes, regardless of what is auto-detected from the page’s CSS:

viewer.resetThemes(["Pro Light", "Pro Dark"])

pub fn setThrottle(&mut self, val: Option<f64>)

Determines the render throttling behavior. Can be an integer, for millisecond window to throttle render event; or, if None, adaptive throttling will be calculated from the measured render time of the last 5 frames.

Arguments

• throttle - The throttle rate in milliseconds (f64), or None for adaptive throttling.

JavaScript Examples

Only draws at most 1 frame/sec:

viewer.setThrottle(1000);

pub fn toggleConfig(&self, force: Option<bool>) -> ApiFuture<JsValue>

Toggle (or force) the config panel open/closed.

Arguments

• force - Force the state of the panel open or closed, or None to toggle.

JavaScript Examples

await viewer.toggleConfig();

pub fn getAllPlugins(&self) -> Array

Get an Array of all of the plugin custom elements registered for this element. This may not include plugins which called registerPlugin after the host has rendered for the first time.

pub fn getPlugin( &self, name: Option<String>, ) -> ApiResult<JsPerspectiveViewerPlugin>

Gets a plugin Custom Element with the name field, or get the active plugin if no name is provided.

Arguments

• name - The name property of a perspective plugin Custom Element, or None for the active plugin’s Custom Element.

pub fn toggleColumnSettings(&self, column_name: String) -> ApiFuture<()>

Asynchronously opens the column settings for a specific column. When finished, the <perspective-viewer> element will emit a “perspective-toggle-column-settings” CustomEvent. The event’s details property has two fields: {open: bool, column_name?: string}. The CustomEvent is also fired whenever the user toggles the sidebar manually.

pub fn openColumnSettings( &self, column_name: Option<String>, toggle: Option<bool>, ) -> ApiFuture<()>

Force open the settings for a particular column. Pass null to close the column settings panel. See Self::toggleColumnSettings for more.
