Module data_context 

Data context service and properties.

The data property can be set on a widget to any type that can be used in variables (VarValue). The DATA service can then be used on the widget or descendant widgets to retrieve the data and to set validation annotations about the data.

The example below demonstrates a simple MVVM implementation using the data context to share the view-model instance with all widgets in the view. The example also uses the data annotations API to show data validation errors.

mod view {
    use crate::view_model::*;
    use zng::{data_context, prelude::*, window::WindowRoot};

    pub fn window() -> WindowRoot {
        Window! {
            // set data context for entire window, using `var` to be read-write.
            data = var(ViewModel::new(crate::model::connect()));

            // bind title from data context.
            title = DATA.req::<ViewModel>().map(|vm| vm.title());
            child = content();
        }
    }

    fn content() -> UiNode {
        // `req` panics if context is not set to the same type.
        let vm = DATA.req::<ViewModel>();
        Container! {
            child = TextInput! {
                txt = vm.map_bidi_modify(|vm| vm.new_item(), |v, vm| vm.set_new_item(v.clone()));

                // FieldStyle shows data errors.
                style_fn = style_fn!(|_| zng::text_input::FieldStyle!());
                data_context::data_error = vm.map(|vm| vm.new_item_error());
            };
            child_bottom = Button! {
                child = Text!("Submit");
                widget::enabled = vm.map(|vm| !vm.new_item().is_empty());
                on_click = hn!(|_| vm.modify(|vm| vm.submit()));
            };
            child_spacing = 5;
            padding = 5;
        }
    }
}
