Although the design principle of MVVM pattern is that ViewModel should not have any reference to UI components, ZK still provides two ways to retrieve UI components in a ViewModel. However, we do not suggest this usage as it loses ViewModel an important advantage: loosely coupling with View. Notice that binder also manipulates UI components, so your operation to UI components may affect binder's work. Please be careful when using it.
One way is passing components as parameters in command binding which we have talked before. Another is to wire components by Selectors.wireComponents() . This way enables you to wire components with @Wire like you do in a SelectorComposer.
Example to wire components in a ViewModel
public class SearchAutowireVM{
//UI component
@Wire("#msgPopup")
Popup popup;
@Wire("#msg")
Label msg;
@Init
public void init(@ContextParam(ContextType.VIEW) Component view){
Selectors.wireComponents(view, this, false);
}
}
- Selectors.wireComponents()'s first parameters is Root View Component which can be retrieved by @ContextParam
