The standard application window that is rendered for a large variety of UI elements in Foundry VTT.

Abstract

Param: options

Configuration options which control how the application is rendered. Application subclasses may add additional supported options, but these base configurations are supported for all Applications. The values passed to the constructor are combined with the defaultOptions defined at the class level.

Type declaration

  • ERROR: -3
  • CLOSING: -2
  • CLOSED: -1
  • NONE: 0
  • RENDERING: 1
  • RENDERED: 2

Accessors

  • get id(): string
  • Return the CSS application ID which uniquely references this UI element

    Returns string

  • get element(): jQuery
  • Return the active application element, if it currently exists in the DOM

    Returns jQuery

  • get template(): string
  • The path to the HTML template file which should be used to render the inner content of the app

    Returns string

  • get popOut(): boolean
  • Control the rendering style of the application. If popOut is true, the application is rendered in its own wrapper window, otherwise only the inner app content is rendered

    Returns boolean

  • get rendered(): boolean
  • Return a flag for whether the Application instance is currently rendered

    Returns boolean

  • get closing(): boolean
  • Whether the Application is currently closing.

    Returns boolean

  • get title(): string
  • An Application window should define its own title definition logic which may be dynamic depending on its data

    Returns string

  • get defaultOptions(): ApplicationOptions
  • Assign the default options configuration which is used by this Application class. The options and values defined in this object are merged with any provided option values which are passed to the constructor upon initialization. Application subclasses may include additional options which are specific to their usage.

    Returns ApplicationOptions

Methods

  • An application should define the data object used to render its template. This function may either return an Object directly, or a Promise which resolves to an Object If undefined, the default implementation will return an empty object allowing only for rendering of static HTML

    Parameters

    • options: object = {}

    Returns object | Promise<object>

  • Render the Application by evaluating it's HTML template against the object of data provided by the getData method If the Application is rendered as a pop-out window, wrap the contained HTML in an outer frame with window controls

    Parameters

    • force: boolean = false

      Add the rendered application to the DOM if it is not already present. If false, the Application will only be re-rendered if it is already present.

    • options: {
          left: number;
          top: number;
          width: number;
          height: number;
          scale: number;
          focus: boolean;
          renderContext: string;
          renderData: object;
      } = {}

      Additional rendering options which are applied to customize the way that the Application is rendered in the DOM.

      • left: number

        The left positioning attribute

      • top: number

        The top positioning attribute

      • width: number

        The rendered width

      • height: number

        The rendered height

      • scale: number

        The rendered transformation scale

      • focus: boolean

        Apply focus to the application, maximizing it and bringing it to the top of the vertical stack.

      • renderContext: string

        A context-providing string which suggests what event triggered the render

      • renderData: object

        The data change which motivated the render request

    Returns Application

    The rendered Application instance

  • After rendering, activate event listeners which provide interactivity for the Application. This is where user-defined Application subclasses should attach their event-handling logic.

    Parameters

    • tabName: string

      The target tab name to switch to

          group: string;
          triggerCallback: boolean;
      } = {}

      Options which configure changing the tab

      • group: string

        A specific named tab group, useful if multiple sets of tabs are present

      • triggerCallback: boolean

        Whether to trigger tab-change callback functions

    Returns void

  • Bring the application to the top of the rendering stack

    Returns void

  • Close the application and un-register references to it within UI mappings This function returns a Promise which resolves once the window closing animation concludes

    Parameters

    • Optional options: object = {}

      Options which affect how the Application is closed

    Returns Promise<void>

    A Promise which resolves once the application is closed

    Fires

    closeApplication

  • Minimize the pop-out window, collapsing it to a small tab Take no action for applications which are not of the pop-out variety or apps which are already minimized

    A Promise which resolves once the minimization action has completed

  • Maximize the pop-out window, expanding it to its original size Take no action for applications which are not of the pop-out variety or are already maximized

    Returns Promise<void>

    A Promise which resolves once the maximization action has completed

  • Set the application position and store its new location. Returns the updated position object for the application containing the new values.
