Interface: renderable  - X-Ref

Interface marking other classes as suitable for renderer_base::render()

Interface: templatable  - X-Ref

Interface marking other classes having the ability to export their data for use by templates.

export_for_template(renderer_base $output)   X-Ref
Function to export the renderer data in a format that is suitable for a
mustache template. This means:
1. No complex types - only stdClass, array, int, string, float, bool
2. Any additional info that is required for the template is pre-calculated (e.g. capability checks).

param: renderer_base $output Used to do a final render of any components that need to be rendered for export.
return: stdClass|array

Class: file_picker  - X-Ref

Data structure representing a file picker.

__construct(stdClass $options)   X-Ref
Constructs a file picker object.

The following are possible options for the filepicker:
- accepted_types  (*)
- return_types    (FILE_INTERNAL)
- env             (filepicker)
- client_id       (uniqid)
- itemid          (0)
- maxbytes        (-1)
- maxfiles        (1)
- buttonname      (false)

param: stdClass $options An object containing options for the file picker.

Class: user_picture  - X-Ref

Data structure representing a user picture.

__construct(stdClass $user)   X-Ref
User picture constructor.

param: stdClass $user user record with at least id, picture, imagealt, firstname and lastname set.

fields($tableprefix = '', array $extrafields = NULL, $idalias = 'id', $fieldprefix = '')   X-Ref
Returns a list of required user fields, useful when fetching required user info from db.

In some cases we have to fetch the user data together with some other information,
the idalias is useful there because the id would otherwise override the main
id of the result record. Please note it has to be converted back to id before rendering.

param: string $tableprefix name of database table prefix in query
param: array $extrafields extra fields to be included in result (do not include TEXT columns because it would break SELECT DISTINCT in MSSQL and ORACLE)
param: string $idalias alias of id field
param: string $fieldprefix prefix to add to all columns in their aliases, does not apply to 'id'
return: string

unalias(stdClass $record, array $extrafields = null, $idalias = 'id', $fieldprefix = '')   X-Ref
Extract the aliased user fields from a given record

Given a record that was previously obtained using {@link self::fields()} with aliases,
this method extracts user related unaliased fields.

param: stdClass $record containing user picture fields
param: array $extrafields extra fields included in the $record
param: string $idalias alias of the id field
param: string $fieldprefix prefix added to all columns in their aliases, does not apply to 'id'
return: stdClass object with unaliased user fields

get_url(moodle_page $page, renderer_base $renderer = null)   X-Ref
Works out the URL for the users picture.

This method is recommended as it avoids costly redirects of user pictures
if requests are made for non-existent files etc.

param: renderer_base $renderer
return: moodle_url

table(html_table $table)   X-Ref
Renders HTML table

This method may modify the passed instance by adding some default properties if they are not set yet.

Adding the colon can be explicitly disabled if needed. Label separators
are put outside the label tag itself so they are not read by
screenreaders (accessibility).

Parameter $for explicitly associates the label with a form control. When
set, the value of this attribute must be the same as the value of
the id attribute of the form control in the same document. When null,
the label being defined is associated with the control inside the label
element.
