Overview

The Undo subcomponent provides undo support for any component that bears a model. For more information about subcomponents, see Tutorial - Subcomponents.

Subcomponent Name: fluid.undoDecorator

Model

To support Undo, a component must bear a model, a collection of Javascript objects which constitute the data which it is operating on. A model:

consists of pure data, i.e. Javascript objects containing only other objects and primitives, without any functions;
is public, i.e. accessible as a member of the component's top-level that.

The actual contents of a model is, of course, entirely dependent on the component.

To support Undo, a component's model must:

be called model

Implementing that.updateModel

To support the Undo subcomponent, the component using it must implement a public function on its that object called updateModel:

fluid.myComponent = function(container, options) {
    var that = fluid.initView("fluid.myComponent", container, options);
       ...
    that.updateModel = function (newValue, source) {
    };
};

The updateModel() function must update the locally stored model using the newValue provided. The source parameter is the subcomponent that triggered the model change.

Support

Currently, the Fluid components that support Undo are:

Inline Edit

Construction

fluid.undoDecorator(component, options);

    redoControl: ".flc-undo-redoControl"
}

renderer

}

Dependencies

The Undo functionality's dependencies can be met by including the minified InfusionAll.js file in the header of the HTML file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="InfusionAll.js"></script>

Alternatively, if you are including individual files, you must include Undo.js:

<... other dependencies ...>
<script type="text/javascript" src="components/undo/js/Undo.js"></script>
