How can I get a PrimeFaces widgetVar function list?

Question

Can someone redirect me to a web resource, where I can find list of all widgetVar JavaScript functions list, eg. toggle(), show(), hide () etc etc.

Appreciate your response.

Before PrimeFaces 10

You can find the JavaScript sources of all widgets at GitHub. For example: datatable.js.

You can also open your browser's JavaScript console and type:

PF('yourWidget').__proto__

That will give you the properties list (including functions). Try it at http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/data/datatable/filter.xhtml

PF('customersTable').__proto__

In Chrome this results in an object with collapsible nodes:

▼ c {SORT_ORDER: Object}
  ▶ SORT_ORDER: Object
  ▶ _render: function()
  ▶ addGhostRow: function()
  ▶ addResizers: function()
  ▶ addRow: function()
  ▶ addSelection: function(a)
  ▶ addSortMeta: function(a)
  ...

Also, next to the showcase there is also documentation you should have a look at. For many components the client side API is well documented, see for example: https://primefaces.github.io/primefaces/8_0/#/components/datatable?id=client-side-api

PrimeFaces 10 and up

From PrimeFaces 10 there is dedicated PrimeFaces JavaScript API documentation.
