Class CodeTemplateInsertRequest

java.lang.Object
  org.netbeans.lib.editor.codetemplates.spi.CodeTemplateInsertRequest

public final class CodeTemplateInsertRequest
extends Object
extends Object

Code template insert request parses the code template's text to gather the data necessary to insert the particular code template into the document (such as the template's parameters).

State

The insert request can be in three states:

It is not inserted into the document yet. Both isInserted() and isReleased() return false. Registered CodeTemplateProcessors will be asked to fill in the default values into the parameters.
It is inserted and the user modifies the parameters' values in the document. isInserted() returns true and isReleased() returns false.
It is released. isReleased() returns true. There is no more work to do. Code templates processor(s) servicing the request will be released.

Parameters

The code template's text is first parsed to find the parameters. Each first occurrence of a parameter with particular name define a master parameter. All the other occurrences of a parameter with the same name define slave parameters (of the previously defined master).

See Also:: CodeTemplateParameter

Method Summary

List getAllParameters()
          Get all the parameters (masters and slaves) present in the code template text in the order as they occur in the parametrized text.

CodeTemplate getCodeTemplate()
          Get code template associated with this insert request.

JTextComponent getComponent()
          Get the text component into which the template should be inserted at the current caret position.

String getInsertText()
          Get the text where all the parameters are replaced by their present values.

CodeTemplateParameter getMasterParameter(String name)
          Get master parameter with the given name.

List getMasterParameters()
          Get list of master parameters in the order they are located in the code template text.

String getParametrizedText()
          Get the present parametrized text handled by this request.

boolean isInserted()
          Check whether the code template that this request represents was already inserted into the document.

boolean isReleased()
          Check whether this request is already released which means that the code template was inserted and values of all the parameters were modified by the user so there is no more work to be done.

void setParametrizedText(String parametrizedText)
          Set the parametrized text to a new value.

Method Detail

getCodeTemplate

public CodeTemplate getCodeTemplate()

Get code template associated with this insert request.

getComponent

public JTextComponent getComponent()

Get the text component into which the template should be inserted at the current caret position.

getMasterParameters

public List getMasterParameters()

Get list of master parameters in the order they are located in the code template text.
The master parameters can be explored by the code template processor and their default values can be changed as necessary.

Returns:: non-null unmodifiable list of master parameters.

getMasterParameter

public CodeTemplateParameter getMasterParameter(String name)

Get master parameter with the given name.

Parameters:: name - non-null name of the master parameter to be searched.
Returns:: master parameter with the given name or null if no such parameter exists.

getAllParameters

public List getAllParameters()

Get all the parameters (masters and slaves) present in the code template text in the order as they occur in the parametrized text.

Returns:: non-null unmodifiable list of all parameters.
See Also:: getMasterParameters()

isInserted

public boolean isInserted()

Check whether the code template that this request represents was already inserted into the document.

Returns:: true if the code template was already inserted into the document and the inserted default values are being modified by the user which can result into CodeTemplateProcessor.parameterValueChanged(CodeTemplateParameter, boolean).
Returns false if the code template was not yet inserted into the document i.e. the CodeTemplateProcessor.updateDefaultValues() is currently being called on the registered processors.
See Also:: isReleased()

isReleased

public boolean isReleased()

Check whether this request is already released which means that the code template was inserted and values of all the parameters were modified by the user so there is no more work to be done.

Returns:: whether this request is already released or not. If the request was not yet released then isInserted() gives additional info whether request is inserted into the document or not.
See Also:: isInserted()

getParametrizedText

public String getParametrizedText()

Get the present parametrized text handled by this request.
By default the code template's parametrized text obtained by CodeTemplate.getParametrizedText() is used.
The parametrized text can be modified by setParametrizedText(String).

setParametrizedText

public void setParametrizedText(String parametrizedText)

Set the parametrized text to a new value.
This may be necessary if some parameters are just artificial and should be expanded by a particular code template processor before the regular processing.
Once this method is called the new parametrized text will be parsed and a fresh new list of parameters will be created.

Parameters:: parametrizedText - new parametrized text to be used.

getInsertText

public String getInsertText()

Get the text where all the parameters are replaced by their present values.
Unless any parameter's value gets changed this text would be inserted into the document once all the code template processors finish their processing.
