# Class RichFaces.BaseComponent

Base class for all components. All RichFaces components should use this class as base or another RichFaces class which based on it.

         //Inheritance example:
         (function ($, richfaces, params) {

         // Constructor definition
         richfaces.MyComponent = function(componentId, [options]) {
         // call constructor of parent class
         $super.constructor.call(this, componentId, [options]);

         // call this.attachToDom method to attach component to dom element
         // its required for the client side API calls and to clean up after ajax request or page unload:
         // destroy method will be called if component attached to dom
         this.attachToDom(componentId);

         };

         // define private method
         var myPrivateMethod = function () {
         }

         // Extend component class and add protected methods from parent class to our container
         richfaces.BaseComponent.extend(richfaces.BaseComponent, richfaces.MyComponent);

         // define super class link
         var $super = richfaces.MyComponent.$super;

         // Add new properties and methods
         $.extend(richfaces.MyComponent.prototype, (function (params) {
         return {
         name:"MyComponent",
         f:function (){alert("hello"),
         // destroy method definition for clean up
         destroy: function () {
         // clean up code here

         // call parent's destroy method
         $super.destroy.call(this);
         }
         }
         };
         })(params));
         })(jQuery, RichFaces);
