## com.google.web.bindery.requestfactory.gwt.client
Interface RequestFactoryEditorDriver<P,E extends Editor<? super P>>

Type Parameters:
  `P` - the type of Proxy being edited
  `E` - the type of Editor that will edit the Record

All Superinterfaces:
  EditorDriver<RequestContext>

All Known Implementing Classes:
  MockRequestFactoryEditorDriver

    public interface RequestFactoryEditorDriver<P,E extends Editor<? super P>>

extends EditorDriver<RequestContext>

The interface that links RequestFactory and the Editor framework together.

Instances of this interface are created with

     interface MyRFED extends RequestFactoryEditorDriver<MyObjectProxy, MyObjectEditor> {}
     MyRFED instance = GWT.create(MyRFED.class);
     {
     instance.initialize(.....);
     myRequest.with(instance.getPaths());

     // Fire the request, in the callback
     instance.edit(retrievedRecord);
     // Control when the request is sent
     instance.flush().fire(new Receiver {...});
     }

Method Summary
`void` | `display(P proxy)` Start driving the Editor and its sub-editors with data for display-only mode.
`void` | `edit(P proxy, RequestContext request)` Start driving the Editor and its sub-editors with data.
`RequestContext` | `flush()` Update the object being edited with the current state of the Editor.
`java.lang.String[]` | `getPaths()` Returns a new array containing the request paths.
`void` | `initialize(E editor)` Initializes a driver that will not be able to support subscriptions.
`void` | `initialize(EventBus eventBus, RequestFactory requestFactory, E editor)` Overload of `initialize(RequestFactory, Editor)` to allow a modified `EventBus` to be monitored for subscription services.
`void` | `initialize(RequestFactory requestFactory, E editor)` Initializes a driver with the editor it will run, and a RequestFactory to use for subscription services.
`boolean` | `setViolations(java.lang.Iterable<Violation> violations)` Deprecated. Users should switch to `EditorDriver.setConstraintViolations(Iterable)`

Method Detail

### display

    void display(P proxy)

  Start driving the Editor and its sub-editors with data for display-only mode.

  Parameters:
    `proxy` - a Proxy of type P

### edit

    void edit(P proxy,
              RequestContext request)

  Start driving the Editor and its sub-editors with data. A `RequestContext` is required to provide context for the changes to the proxy (see `RequestContext.edit(T)`. Note that this driver will not fire the request.

  Parameters:
    `proxy` - the proxy to be edited
    `request` - the request context that will accumulate edits and is returned form `flush()`

### flush

    RequestContext flush()

  Update the object being edited with the current state of the Editor.

  Specified by:
    `flush` in interface `EditorDriver<RequestContext>`
  Returns:
    the RequestContext passed into `edit(Object, RequestContext)`
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if `edit(Object, RequestContext)` has not been called

### getPaths

    java.lang.String[] getPaths()

  Returns a new array containing the request paths.

  Returns:
    an array of Strings

### initialize

    void initialize(E editor)

  Initializes a driver that will not be able to support subscriptions. Calls to `EditorDelegate.subscribe()` will do nothing.

  Parameters:
    `editor` - an `Editor` of type E

### initialize

    void initialize(EventBus eventBus,
                    RequestFactory requestFactory,
                    E editor)

  Overload of `initialize(RequestFactory, Editor)` to allow a modified `EventBus` to be monitored for subscription services.

  Parameters:
    `eventBus` - the `EventBus`
    `requestFactory` - a `RequestFactory` instance
    `editor` - an `Editor` of type E
  See Also:
    `EditorDelegate.subscribe()`, `ResettableEventBus`

### initialize

    void initialize(RequestFactory requestFactory,
                    E editor)

  Initializes a driver with the editor it will run, and a RequestFactory to use for subscription services.

  Parameters:
    `requestFactory` - a `RequestFactory` instance
    `editor` - an `Editor` of type E
  See Also:
    `EditorDelegate.subscribe()`

### setViolations

    @Deprecated
    boolean setViolations(java.lang.Iterable<Violation> violations)

  Deprecated. Users should switch to `EditorDriver.setConstraintViolations(Iterable)`

  Show Violations returned from an attempt to submit a request. The violations will be converted into `EditorError` objects whose `getUserData()` method can be used to access the original Violation object.

  Parameters:
    `violations` - an Iterable over `Violation` instances
  Returns:
    `true` if there were any unconsumed EditorErrors which can be retrieved from `EditorDriver.getErrors()`
