config Class

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2110

Available since 3.1.0

Revision number of YUI 2in3 modules that should be used when loading YUI 2in3.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2010

Aliases are dynamic groups of modules that can be used as shortcuts.

Example:

YUI({
 aliases: {
 davglass: [ 'node', 'yql', 'dd' ],
 mine: [ 'davglass', 'autocomplete']
 }
 }).use('mine', function (Y) {
 // Node, YQL, DD & AutoComplete available here.
 });

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1838

Base directory for dynamic loading.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1682

If true (the default), YUI will "bootstrap" the YUI Loader and module metadata if they're needed to load additional dependencies and aren't already available.

Setting this to false will prevent YUI from automatically loading the Loader and module metadata, so you will need to manually ensure that they're available or handle dependency resolution yourself.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2181

Deprecated: No longer used.

Available since 3.3.0

Cache serviced use() requests.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1925

If true, YUI will use a combo handler to load multiple modules in as few requests as possible.

The YUI CDN (which YUI uses by default) supports combo handling, but other servers may not. If the server from which you're loading YUI does not support combo handling, set this to false.

Providing a value for the base config property will cause combine to default to false instead of true.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1844

Base URL for a dynamic combo handler. This will be used to make combo-handled module requests if combine is set to `true.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1773

A list of modules that defines the YUI core (overrides the default list).

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1966

Object hash containing attributes to add to dynamically added <link> nodes.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1796

Deprecated: Use configuration in `DataType.Date.format()` instead.

Default date format.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1694

If true, Y.log() messages will be written to the browser's debug console when available and when useBrowserConsole is also true.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2226

Available since 3.6.0

Delay the use callback until a specific event has passed (load, domready, contentready or available)

Example:

YUI({
 delayUntil: 'domready'
 }, function (Y) {
 // This will not execute until 'domeready' occurs.
 });

YUI({
 delayUntil: {
 event: 'available',
 args : '#foo'
 }
 }, function (Y) {
 // This will not execute until a node matching the selector "#foo" is
 // available in the DOM.
 });

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1764

The browser document object associated with this YUI instance's win object.

When running in Node.js, this property is undefined, since there is no document object.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2143

Available since 3.2.0

Callback to execute when Y.error() is called. It receives the error message and a JavaScript error object if one was provided.

This function is executed with the YUI instance as its this object.

Returning true from this function will prevent an exception from being thrown.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2082

If true, YUI will attempt to load CSS dependencies and skins. Set this to false to prevent YUI from loading any CSS, or set it to the string "force" to force CSS dependencies to be loaded even if their associated JS modules are already loaded.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1861

Filter to apply to module urls. This filter will modify the default path for all modules.

The default path for the YUI library is the minified version of the files (e.g., event-min.js). The filter property can be a predefined filter or a custom filter. The valid predefined filters are:

• debug: Loads debug versions of modules (e.g., event-debug.js).
• raw: Loads raw, non-minified versions of modules without debug logging (e.g., event.js).

You can also define a custom filter, which must be an object literal containing a search regular expression and a replacement string:

myFilter: {
 searchExp : "-min\\.js",
 replaceStr: "-debug.js"
 }

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1899

Hash of per-component filter specifications. If specified for a given component, this overrides the global filter config.

Example:

YUI({
 modules: {
 'foo': './foo.js',
 'bar': './bar.js',
 'baz': './baz.js'
 },
 filters: {
 'foo': {
 searchExp: '.js',
 replaceStr: '-coverage.js'
 }
 }
 }).use('foo', 'bar', 'baz', function (Y) {
 // foo-coverage.js is loaded
 // bar.js is loaded
 // baz.js is loaded
 });

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1946

Array of module names that should always be loaded when required, even if already present on the page.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2092

Available since 3.1.0

Default gallery version used to build gallery module urls.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1745

Reference to the global object for this execution context.

In a browser, this is the current window object. In Node.js, this is the Node.js global object.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2027

A hash of module group definitions.

For each group you can specify a list of modules and the base path and combo spec to use when dynamically loading the modules.

Example:

groups: {
 yui2: {
 // specify whether or not this group has a combo service
 combine: true,
 
 // The comboSeperator to use with this group's combo handler
 comboSep: ';',
 
 // The maxURLLength for this server
 maxURLLength: 500,
 
 // the base path for non-combo paths
 base: 'http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.0r4/build/',
 
 // the path to the combo service
 comboBase: 'http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?',
 
 // a fragment to prepend to the path attribute when
 // when building combo urls
 root: '2.8.0r4/build/',
 
 // the module definitions
 modules: {
 yui2_yde: {
 path: "yahoo-dom-event/yahoo-dom-event.js"
 },
 yui2_anim: {
 path: "animation/animation.js",
 requires: ['yui2_yde']
 }
 }
 }
 }

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1940

Array of module names that should never be dynamically loaded.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1725

When the YUI seed file is dynamically loaded after the window.onload event has fired, set this to true to tell YUI that it shouldn't wait for window.onload to occur.

This ensures that components that rely on window.onload and the domready custom event will work as expected even when YUI is dynamically injected.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1953

DOM element or id that should be used as the insertion point for dynamically added <script> and <link> nodes.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1960

Object hash containing attributes to add to dynamically added <script> nodes.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1781

A list of languages to use in order of preference.

This list is matched against the list of available languages in modules that the YUI instance uses to determine the best possible localization of language sensitive modules.

Languages are represented using BCP 47 language tags, such as "en-GB" for English as used in the United Kingdom, or "zh-Hans-CN" for simplified Chinese as used in China. The list may be provided as a comma-separated string or as an array.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2072

Path to the Loader JS file, relative to the base path.

This is used to dynamically bootstrap the Loader when it's needed and isn't yet available.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2157

Available since 3.3.0

A callback to execute when Loader fails to load one or more resources.

This could be because of a script load failure. It could also be because a module fails to register itself when the requireRegistration config is true.

If this function is defined, the use() callback will only be called when the loader succeeds. Otherwise, use() will always executes unless there was a JavaScript error when attaching a module.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1803

Deprecated: Use `config.lang` instead.

Default locale.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1718

A hash of log sources that should be not be logged. If specified, all sources will be logged except those on this list.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2118

Available since 3.1.0

Alternate console log function that should be used in environments without a supported native console. This function is executed with the YUI instance as its this object.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1710

A hash of log sources that should be logged. If specified, only messages from these sources will be logged. Others will be discarded.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2127

Available since 3.10.0

The minimum log level to log messages for. Log levels are defined incrementally. Messages greater than or equal to the level specified will be shown. All others will be discarded. The order of log levels in increasing priority is:

debug
 info
 warn
 error

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1979

A hash of module definitions to add to the list of available YUI modules. These modules can then be dynamically loaded via the use() method.

This is a hash in which keys are module names and values are objects containing module metadata.

See Loader.addModule() for the supported module metadata fields. Also see groups, which provides a way to configure the base and combo spec for a set of modules.

Example:

modules: {
 mymod1: {
 requires: ['node'],
 fullpath: '/mymod1/mymod1.js'
 },
 
 mymod2: {
 requires: ['mymod1'],
 fullpath: '/mymod2/mymod2.js'
 },
 
 mymod3: '/js/mymod3.js',
 mycssmod: '/css/mycssmod.css'
 }

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1810

Default generic polling interval in milliseconds.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1817

The number of dynamic <script> nodes to insert by default before automatically removing them when loading scripts.

This applies only to script nodes because removing the node will not make the evaluated script unavailable. Dynamic CSS nodes are not auto purged, because removing a linked style sheet will also remove the style definitions.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2171

Available since 3.3.0

If true, Loader will expect all loaded scripts to be first-class YUI modules that register themselves with the YUI global, and will trigger a failure if a loaded script does not register a YUI module.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1852

Root path to prepend to each module path when creating a combo-handled request.

This is updated for each YUI release to point to a specific version of the library; for example: "3.8.0/build/".

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1884

Skin configuration and customizations.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1737

If true, Y.error() will generate or re-throw a JavaScript error. Otherwise, errors are merely logged silently.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1972

Timeout in milliseconds before a dynamic JS or CSS request will be considered a failure. If not set, no timeout will be enforced.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1702

Log messages to the browser console if debug is true and the browser has a supported console.

Provided by the history-html5 module.

Defined in history/js/history-html5.js:154

Available since 3.2.0

If true, the Y.History alias will always point to Y.HistoryHTML5 when the history-html5 module is loaded, even if the current browser doesn't support HTML5 history.

If false, the Y.History alias will always point to Y.HistoryHash when the history-hash module is loaded, even if the current browser supports HTML5 history.

If neither true nor false, the Y.History alias will point to the best available history adapter that the browser supports. This is the default behavior.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2190

Available since 3.5.0

Whether or not YUI should use native ES5 functionality when available for features like Y.Array.each(), Y.Object(), etc.

When false, YUI will always use its own fallback implementations instead of relying on ES5 functionality, even when ES5 functionality is available.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2214

Available since 3.8.0

Leverage native JSON parse if the browser has a native implementation. In general, this is a good idea. See the Known Issues section in the JSON user guide for caveats. The default value is true for browsers with native JSON support.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2202

Available since 3.8.0

Leverage native JSON stringify if the browser has a native implementation. In general, this is a good idea. See the Known Issues section in the JSON user guide for caveats. The default value is true for browsers with native JSON support.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1754

The browser window or frame that this YUI instance should operate in.

When running in Node.js, this property is undefined, since there is no window object. Use global to get a reference to the global object that will work in both browsers and Node.js.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:1829

Delay in milliseconds to wait after a window resize event before firing the event. If another resize event occurs before this delay has elapsed, the delay will start over to ensure that resize events are throttled.

Defined in yui/js/yui.js:2099

Available since 3.1.0

Default YUI 2 version used to build YUI 2 module urls.

This is used for intrinsic YUI 2 support via the 2in3 project. Also see the 2in3 config for pulling different revisions of the wrapped YUI 2 modules.
