raml-documentation-panel

The documentation viewer.

It displays a documentation panel depending on if the selected object is a method, resource, type or the documentation node.

The element will compute current view from the path property. However, if the app is using raml-path-to-object element the you can set the handlePathEvents property which will make the element to register event listeners fired from the raml-path-to-object element. It will skip internall path computation to not double the work.

The element is consisted with the following documentation viewers:

• raml-docs-method-viewer
• raml-docs-resource-viewer
• raml-docs-documentation-viewer
• raml-summary-view
• raml-docs-types-viewer

Elements that are not displayed at a time are demoved from the DOM and are inavtive. Only active elements observe changes to the selected-object property and perform internall computation (it's optimisation).

Example

<raml-path-to-object path="types.0"></raml-path-to-object>
<raml-documentation-panel handle-path-events"></raml-documentation-panel>
<script>
var pto = document.querySelector('raml-path-to-object');
var docs = document.querySelector('raml-documentation-panel');
pto.addEventListener('selected-object-changed', function(e) {
  docs.selectedObject = e.detail.value;
});
pto.addEventListener('selected-parent-changed', function(e) {
  docs.selectedParent = e.detail.value;
});
</script>

Handling scrolling

Set the scrollTarget to an element that has a scroll region to suppoer scrolling in the elements. The resource documentation panel handles internall links that are expected to scroll the view to correspoinding sections. This default to the window object.
