A dictionary-like container for data for use in UI components.
When a property of a ui.data.ActiveDictionary (e.g. myButton.style()) is updated, the component it belongs to is automatically updated. For example, myButton.style().set('color', 'red') would change the color of button's text to red.
| Usage | Returns | ui.data.ActiveDictionary(object, allowedProperties) | ui.data.ActiveDictionary |
| Argument | Type | Details | object | Object, optional | A JavaScript object with properties and values to initialize this object with. |
allowedProperties | List<String>, optional | An array of allowed properties for this object. If undefined, then any property is allowed. |
