ContentAreaElement is a custom HTML element that displays the contents of a SAS Viya folder as tiles. This element extends HTMLElement.

Custom Element Tag

<sas-content-area
  url="http://my-viya-server.com"
  initial-selection-index="0"
  selection-mode="single"
></sas-content-area>

Attributes

`initial-selection-index: number`

The index of the item to be initially selected. This is most useful for starting off in a selected state, without necessarily knowing the details of the content that will be displayed. This only applies to the initial display of the ContentAreaElement. Any selections by the user, or via setSelectedIdentifiers will override this value, and changing the value of initial-selection-index from that point on will have no effect.

`selection-mode: string`

Specify the selection mode for the content.

Values

multiple

Multiple items can be selected using the checkbox. This is the default selection mode if selection-mode is not specified.

single

Only one item can be selected at a time.

`url`

See url.

`authenticationType`

See authenticationType.
