The Default Command for MVVM

  • Available for ZK:
  • http://www.zkoss.org/product/zkhttp://www.zkoss.org/whyzk/zkeeVersion ce-pe-ee.png

ZK 6.5.1 brings a default command for MVVM. When a binder receives a command, it starts to find ViewModel's command methods by matching its name. If the binder cannot find a matched method, it invokes default command method.

Assume that there are only two command methos in the below ViewModel. If we trigger a command "exit", a binder invokes the default command method defaultAction() because it cannot find a command method named "exit".

public class OrderVM {

    @Command
    public void newOrder(){
    ...
    }
  
    @DefaultCommand
    public void defaultAction(){
    ...
    }
}

Control Page visibility with HTML 5 API in ZK

  • Available for ZK:

In ZK 6.5.1, the API with onVisibilityChange event was implemented which provides the ability to find out when a page is visible or hidden. This has a lot of benefit as it enables saving of CPU cycles as well as bandwidth. The following is a very simple example:

<window title="window" border="normal">
    <attribute name="onVisibilityChange">
        if (!event.isHidden())
            lbl.setValue("Welcome back");
    </attribute>
    <label id="lbl"></label>
</window>
