Detailed Description

NodeComponent is the base class for all node components.

Node component is an isolated piece of logic which can be attached to any node in order to add additional functionality to it. Examples of node component could be Trigger which performs specific actions when certain conditions are met or AnimationPlayer which animates specific properties of the node it is attached to and its child nodes.

Node component can only be attached to a single node at a time. After node component is detached from one node, it can be attached to any other node.

Node component starts to perform its logic after it is attached to a certain node. After node component is detached from its node it becomes inactive and stops to perform its logic.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ NodeComponent()

NodeComponent ( Domain  domain,
long  handle,
Metaclass  metaclass 
)
protected

Wraps a given native Node Component.

Called by KanziObject.connectObject(long) when connecting to a native node component.

Parameters
domainUI Domain where this node belongs.
handleNative object that is backing this node component.
metaclassMetaclass data for this node component.

Member Function Documentation

◆ createDerived()

static <Derived extends NodeComponent> ObjectRef<Derived> createDerived ( Domain  domain,
String  name,
Metaclass  metaclass 
)
staticprotected

Creates a derived class instance.

Call this method as part of the create method for a derived class.

Parameters
domainUI Domain where this node component belongs.
nameName of the node component
metaclassMetaclass data of the node component.
Returns
An ObjectRef that holds the created instance.

◆ getName()

String getName ( )

Gets the value of NameProperty.

Returns
Current value.

◆ getNode()

Node getNode ( )

Returns the node the node component is attached to or null if node component is not attached to a node.

Returns
Node the node component is attached to.

◆ getState()

NodeComponentState getState ( )

Gets the state of node component indicating if component is attached to a node, detached from any node or in process of attaching/detaching.

Returns
State of node component.

◆ isAttached()

boolean isAttached ( )

Indicates whether node component is attached to a node.

Returns
true if node component is attached, false otherwise.

◆ isAttaching()

boolean isAttaching ( )

Indicates whether node component is in the process of attaching to a node.

Returns
true if node component is in the process of attaching, false otherwise.

◆ isAttachingOrAttached()

boolean isAttachingOrAttached ( )

Indicates whether node component is in the process of attaching to a node or already attached.

Returns
true if node component is in the process of attaching or already attached, false otherwise.

Returns
true if node component currently detaching, false otherwise.

◆ isDetachingOrDetached()

boolean isDetachingOrDetached ( )

Indicates whether node component is in the process of detaching from the node or already detached.

Returns
true if node component is in the process of detaching or already detached, false otherwise.
