One Way to Select Many

Authors: Jaakko Järvi and Sean Parent

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 56, 30th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2016)


Abstract
Selecting items from a collection is one of the most common tasks users perform with graphical user interfaces. Practically every application supports this task with a selection feature different from that of any other application. Defects are common, especially in manipulating selections of non-adjacent elements, and flexible selection features are often missing when they would clearly be useful. As a consequence, user effort is wasted. The loss of productivity is experienced in small doses, but all computer users are impacted. The undesirable state of support for multi-element selection prevails because the same selection features are redesigned and reimplemented repeatedly. This article seeks to establish common abstractions for multi-selection. It gives generic but precise meanings to selection operations and makes multi-selection reusable; a JavaScript implementation is described. Application vendors benefit because of reduced development effort. Users benefit because correct and consistent multi-selection becomes available in more contexts.

One Way to Select Many (Artifact)

Authors: Jaakko Järvi and Sean Parent

Published in: DARTS, Volume 2, Issue 1, Special Issue of the 30th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2016)


Abstract
The artifact is built around the MultiselectJS library that implements the multi-selection semantics presented in the companion paper. The purpose of this JavaScript library is to help programmers add multi-selection to Web user interfaces with ease. The artifact includes a demo application showcasing the use of the library, documentation of the library API, and a tutorial on how to use the library. The library clearly separates the reusable aspects of multi-selection from the application specific aspects. The latter are collected into an object referred to as the selection geometry. The complex task of implementing a full-fledged multi-selection feature reduces to a considerably simpler task of implementing a selection geometry. The demo application implements several different selection geometries. It supports the claims of the companion paper that the library considerably lessens the task of implementing multi-selection. Following the guidance of the tutorial, users can build their own multi-selection features.
