Constructor Detail

MapProperty

public MapProperty()
Method Detail

observe

public IObservableMap observe(Object source)
Description copied from interface: IMapProperty
Returns an observable map observing this map property on the given property source

Specified by:
observe in interface IMapProperty
Parameters:
source - the property source
Returns:
an observable map observing this map-typed property on the given property source

mapFactory

public IObservableFactory mapFactory()
Description copied from interface: IMapProperty
Returns a factory for creating observable maps tracking this property of a particular property source.

Specified by:
mapFactory in interface IMapProperty
Returns:
a factory for creating observable maps tracking this property of a particular property source.

mapFactory

public IObservableFactory mapFactory(Realm realm)
Description copied from interface: IMapProperty
Returns a factory for creating observable maps in the given realm, tracking this property of a particular property source.

Specified by:
mapFactory in interface IMapProperty
Parameters:
realm - the realm
Returns:
a factory for creating observable maps in the given realm, tracking this property of a particular property source.

observeDetail

public IObservableMap observeDetail(IObservableValue master)
Description copied from interface: IMapProperty
Returns an observable map on the master observable's realm which tracks this property of the values in the entry set of master.

Specified by:
observeDetail in interface IMapProperty
Parameters:
master - the master observable
Returns:
an observable map on the master observable's realm which tracks this property of the values in the entry set of master.

values

public final IMapProperty values(IValueProperty detailValues)
Description copied from interface: IMapProperty
Returns the nested combination of this property and the specified detail value property. Note that because this property is a projection of value properties over a values collection, the only modifications supported are through the IObservableMap.put(Object, Object) and Map.putAll(java.util.Map) methods. In the latter case, this property does not entries for keys not already contained in the master map's key set. Modifications made through the returned property are delegated to the detail property, using the corresponding entry value from the master property as the source.

Specified by:
values in interface IMapProperty
Parameters:
detailValues - the detail property
Returns:
the nested combination of the master map and detail value properties.
