com.aquima.interactions.composer.model.HiddenElement

All Implemented Interfaces:

IElement, Serializable

public class HiddenElement
extends Element

This element is used in the page model to represent a hidden element. Hidden elements are not expanded, but by adding this HiddenElement place-holder, the client can still 'see' there was an element definition present. This will also ensure that generated keys stay the same regardless of the visibility of elements.

Since:

5.0

Method Details

duplicate

public Element duplicate()

Description copied from interface: IElement

This method should clone the element and return the cloned element. The duplicate method should usually make a deep copy of the element, with the exception of members that are not mutable (and thus can safely be shared between multiple copies). The properties of an element are considered to be non-mutable, and will thus by default be copied.

Returns:

The cloned (duplicate) element.

getType

public ElementType getType()

This method returns the type of the element that was not visible.

Returns:

the type of the element that was not visible.

isVisible

public boolean isVisible()

Description copied from interface: IElement

This method returns a boolean indicating if the element should be visible. An element is visible when the element itself is specified as being visible and the parent container (if available) is visible.

Specified by:

isVisible in interface IElement

Overrides:

isVisible in class Element

Returns:

boolean indicating if the element should be visible.
