Methods

MethodReturnsDescription
[Symbol.dispose]()voidDisposes of the component.
(Inherited from ComponentEx)
addChild(component)TComponentAdds a child component.

Mirrors the native Component.addChild contract: if this component is already loaded, the child is loaded immediately, so child._loaded is set before this method returns even when this component has async load logic. The child's async tail (if any) is sequenced into the load promise so a later loadWithPromises call awaits it.
(Inherited from ComponentEx)
ensureLoaded()voidEnsures the component is loaded, throwing if it is not.

Use this to guard public methods that register teardown-bearing resources (via Component.register, Component.registerEvent, Component.registerDomEvent, etc.). Registering before load is unsafe: Component.unload is a no-op while the component is not loaded, so any teardown registered beforehand would never run if the component is unloaded without first being loaded.
(Inherited from ComponentEx)
load()voidLoads the component.
(Inherited from ComponentEx)
loadWithPromises()null | Promise<void>Loads the component with promises.

Unlike load, this method never rejects with an individual error: every failure raised by onloadAsync or a child's load is collected, and once everything settles the returned Promise rejects with a single AggregateError holding all of them. Non-Error throwables are normalized via ErrorWrapper.create.
(Inherited from ComponentEx)
onloadAsync()Promise<void>Asynchronously loads the component.

Override to add async load logic, which is executed after Component.onload.
(Inherited from ComponentEx)
registerDisposable(disposable)TDisposableRegisters a Disposable so it is disposed when this component unloads, and returns it unchanged.

The recurring "tie a disposable to the component's lifecycle, then keep using it" idiom: the disposable is disposed on Component.unload (or earlier, if the caller disposes it directly — dispose is expected to be idempotent). Guard with ensureLoaded at the call site when registering before load would be unsafe.
(Inherited from ComponentEx)
registerEditorMenuEventHandler(handler)DisposableExRegisters a handler for the editor context menu event.
registerFileMenuEventHandler(handler)DisposableExRegisters a handler for the single-file context menu event.
registerFilesMenuEventHandler(handler)DisposableExRegisters a handler for the multi-file context menu event.
removeChild(component)TComponentRemoves a child component.
