registerDistanceCalculationStrategy

caph .focus .nearestFocusableFinderProvider. registerDistanceCalculationStrategy

Registers a custom distance calculation strategy.

(static) registerDistanceCalculationStrategy(name, strategy, overrideopt) → {caph.focus.nearestFocusableFinderProvider}

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
`name`	string		The strategy name.
`strategy`	function		A function which calculates distance between elements. This function takes three arguments. The first and second parameters are an object which contains element's coordinates (left, top) and dimensions (width, height); the former is a comparison target, and the latter is one of the nearest candidates. The last parameter is a direction of the distance calculation. This function should return a calculated distance between first and second parameter.
`override`	boolean	<optional>	A boolean determines whether override the existing strategy or not.

Returns:

Type: caph.focus.nearestFocusableFinderProvider

Example

angular.module('myApp', ['caph.focus']).config(['nearestFocusableFinderProvider', function(nearestFocusableFinderProvider) {
 	nearestFocusableFinderProvider.registerDistanceCalculationStrategy('sample', function(from, to, direction) {
 		return Math.sqrt(Math.pow(from.left - to.left, 2) + Math.pow(from.top - to.top, 2));
 	});
 }]);
