Extension API: mounted() and paint() discrepancy

BradMazurek — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 03:42:11 GMT

Looking at the documentation for the Extension API's mounted() and paint() methods, both say the following:

$element

jQuery wrapper containing the HTML element where visualization should be rendered.

but the $element received by each are different. Based upon the documentation, I would expect them to be the same. What am I missing?

Different wrappers around the same element? Or different elements?

It appears to me to be different elements (a sub-element) to be precise.

The first of which returns the yellow div below and the second returns the green div.

For completeness, here is the code I'm using:

mounted: function ($element) { console.log("mounted"); console.log($element); }, paint: function ($element) { console.log("paint"); console.log($element);

Interesting. Looks like you are right. I don't use mounted much, in most cases I need the layout, which for some reason is not a parameter to mounted.
