Accessors

Methods

  • Internal Virtual

    configOverride

    Function which defines configuration overrides to prioritize properties from the root element's dataset.

    It should take a subset of configuration as input and return a new configuration object with properties that should be overridden based on the root element's dataset. A Symbol is used for indexing to prevent conflicts.

    Parameters

    Returns ObjectNested

    return - Configuration object

  • Private

    Debounce double-clicks

    If the click quickly succeeds a previous click then nothing will happen. This stops people accidentally causing multiple form submissions by double clicking buttons.

    Parameters

    • event: MouseEvent

      Mouse click event

    Returns false

    Returns undefined, or false when debounced
