Name	Type	Description
title	string	optional The title of the notification banner. If null, no title element will be rendered.
contents	*	The contents to add to the notification banner. This should be a DOM node or a document fragment in most cases. The value is passed as-is to the L.dom.content() function - refer to its documentation for applicable values.
classes	string	optional repeatable A number of extra CSS class names which are set on the notification banner element.

See:

• LuCI.dom.content

Returns:

Type	Description
Node	Returns a DOM Node representing the notification banner element.

addValidator(field, type, optional, vfunc, events){function}

ui.js, line 4191

Add validation constraints to an input element.

Compile the given type expression and optional validator function into a validation function and bind it to the specified input element events.

Name	Type	Default	Description
field	Node		The DOM input element node to bind the validation constraints to.
type	string		The datatype specification to describe validation constraints. Refer to the LuCI.validation class documentation for details.
optional	boolean	false	optional Specifies whether empty values are allowed (true) or not (false). If an input element is not marked optional it must not be empty, otherwise it will be marked as invalid.
vfunc	function		optional Specifies a custom validation function which is invoked after the other validation constraints are applied. The validation must return true to accept the passed value. Any other return type is converted to a string and treated as validation error message.
events	string	blur, keyup	optional repeatable The list of events to bind. Each received event will trigger a field validation. If omitted, the keyup and blur events are bound by default.

See:

• LuCI.validation

Returns:

Type	Description
function	Returns the compiled validator function which can be used to manually trigger field validation or to bind it to further events.

awaitReconnect(hosts)

ui.js, line 3725

Poll each given hostname or IP address and navigate to it as soon as one of the addresses becomes reachable.

Name	Type	Default	Description
hosts	string	[window.location.host]	optional repeatable The list of IP addresses and host names to check for reachability. If omitted, the current value of window.location.host is used by default.

createHandlerFn(ctx, fn, extra_args){function|null}

ui.js, line 4242

Create a pre-bound event handler function.

Generate and bind a function suitable for use in event handlers. The generated function automatically disables the event source element and adds an active indication to it by adding appropriate CSS classes.

It will also await any promises returned by the wrapped function and re-enable the source element after the promises ran to completion.

Name	Type	Description
ctx	*	The this context to use for the wrapped function.
fn	function | string	Specifies the function to wrap. In case of a function value, the function is used as-is. If a string is specified instead, it is looked up in ctx to obtain the function to wrap. In both cases the bound function will be invoked with ctx as this context
extra_args	*	repeatable Any further parameter as passed as-is to the bound event handler function in the same order as passed to createHandlerFn().

Returns:

Type	Description
function | null	Returns the pre-bound handler function which is suitable to be passed to addEventListener(). Returns null if the given fn argument is a string which could not be found in ctx or if ctx[fn] is not a valid function value.

hideIndicator(id){boolean}

ui.js, line 3214

Remove an header area indicator.

This function removes the given indicator label from the header indicator area. When the given indicator is not found, this function does nothing.

Name	Type	Description
id	string	The ID of the indicator to remove.

Returns:

boolean	Returns true when the indicator has been removed or false when the requested indicator was not found.

hideModal()

ui.js, line 3016

Close the open modal overlay dialog.

This function will close an open modal dialog and restore the normal view behaviour. It has no effect if no modal dialog is currently open.

Note that this function is stand-alone, it does not rely on this and will not invoke other class functions so it suitable to be used as event handler as-is without the need to bind it first.

itemlist(node, items, separators){Node}

ui.js, line 3257

Formats a series of label/value pairs into list-like markup.

This function transforms a flat array of alternating label and value elements into a list-like markup, using the values in separators as separators and appends the resulting nodes to the given parent DOM node.

Each label is suffixed with : and wrapped into a <strong> tag, the <strong> element and the value corresponding to the label are subsequently wrapped into a <span class="nowrap"> element.

The resulting <span> element tuples are joined by the given separators to form the final markup which is appened to the given parent DOM node.

Name	Type	Default	Description
node	Node		The parent DOM node to append the markup to. Any previous child elements will be removed.
items	Array.<*>		An alternating array of labels and values. The label values will be converted to plain strings, the values are used as-is and may be of any type accepted by LuCI.dom.content().
separators	* | Array.<*>	[E('br')]	optional A single value or an array of separator values to separate each label/value pair with. The function will cycle through the separators when joining the pairs. If omitted, the default separator is a sole HTML <br> element. Separator values are used as-is and may be of any type accepted by LuCI.dom.content().

Returns:

Type	Description
Node	Returns the parent DOM node the formatted markup has been added to.
