I am building notification feature for my app just like Facebook's notification. I have almost made it work but just unable to observe a computed property.
Here is the scenario:
There are many deals and when a deal is updated(like it's name/ price is changed), the notification is sent through RabbitMQ. The object payload that we send, it has an attribute "status" which could be 'read' or 'unread'.
controller:
notificationsCount: function() {
var notifications = this.get('notifications');
var unreadCount = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < notifications.length; i++) {
if (notifications[i].status == 'unread') {
unreadCount++;
}
}
return unreadCount;
}.property('notifications.[]'),
Here, initially 'notifications' is an empty array. All the notifications coming from RMQ as object payloads goes inside this. This 'unreadCount' is what I want to show kinda like a small badge over the notification icon.
When I click the notification icon, all the notifications' status should change to 'read' from 'unread'.
controller:
action:{
readNotifications: function () {
var notifications = this.get('notifications');
for (var i = 0; i < notifications.length; i++) {
notifications[i].status = 'read';
}
},
}
Through debugging, I found everything is working fine till this point. But what I want is, once the user clicks the notification icon and all the notifications are marked as read, the notificationCount should be set as zero as there are no more any notifications that is unread.
Theoretically, I have to either observe notificationsCount or execute notificationsCount once inside readNotifications action. But I couldn't find a way to do it. If there is any other way, feel free to share.
Thanks in advance.
The short of it is that you should define your notificationsCount computed property to listen to notifications.#each.status instead of notifications.[]. .[] triggers when the array contents change (elements are added or removed), while an .#each.prop triggers when the prop property on any array element changes.
Refer to the relevant Ember.js docs for details on this.
Additionally, you can make your code more concise using NativeArray methods (because, since you are already using the .property() shorthand, you do have prototype extension enabled). Your entire notificationsCount could be written as
notificationsCount: function() {
return this.get('notifications').filterBy('status', 'unread').length;
}.property('notifications.#each.status'),
and your action as
readNotifications: function () {
this.get('notifications').setEach('status', 'read');
},

This is a follow on to "APEX row selector" posted 5 days ago.
The problem was collecting multiple values from an interactive grid. From the excellent links to post supplied I was able to achieve this. However, the next part of the project is to open an edit dialog page and update multiple values.
I added this code to the attribute of the interactive grid:
function (config)
{
var $ = apex.jQuery,
toolbarData = $.apex.interactiveGrid.copyDefaultToolbar(),
toolbarGroup = toolbarData.toolbarFind("actions3");
toolbarGroup.controls.push(
{
type: "BUTTON",
action: "updateCar",
label: "Edit Selected Cars",
hot: true,
});
config.toolbarData = toolbarData;
config.initActions = function (actions)
{
// Defining the action for activate button
actions.add(
{
name: "updateCar",
label: "Edit Selected Cars",
action: updateCar
});
}
function updateCar(event, focusElement)
{
var i, records, model, record,
view = apex.region("ig_car").widget().interactiveGrid("getCurrentView");
var vid = "";
model = view.model;
records = view.getSelectedRecords();
if (records.length > 0)
{
for (i = 0; i < records.length; i++)
{
record = records[i];
alert("Under Development " + record[1]);
vid = vid + record[1] + "||";
apex.item("P18_CAR").setValue(vid);
// need to open next page here and pass parameters
}
}
}
return config;
}
I need to know how to open a form and have the parameter values available to pass to an oracle update script.
Thank you for any help you can provide. I did find some posts but I really need a good example. I have tried everything to no avail.
There are various ways you could do this. Here's one way, perhaps someone else will offer a more efficient option.
The JavaScript options for navigation in APEX are documented here:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/application-express/19.1/aexjs/apex.navigation.html
Since you're trying to open a separate page, you probably want to use apex.navigation.dialog, which is what APEX automatically uses when opening modal pages from reports, buttons, etc.
However, as noted in the doc, the URL for the navigation must be generated server-side for security purposes. You need a dynamic URL (one not known when the page renders), so you'll need a workaround to generate it. Once you have the URL, navigating to it is easy. So how do you get the URL? Ajax.
Create an Ajax process to generate the URL
Under the processing tab of the report/grid page, right-click Ajax Callback and select Create Process.
Set Name to GET_FORM_URL.
Set PL/SQL code to the following
code:
declare
l_url varchar2(512);
begin
l_url := apex_page.get_url(
p_application => :APP_ID,
p_page => 3,
p_items => 'P3_ITEM_NAME',
p_values => apex_application.g_x01
);
apex_json.open_object();
apex_json.write('url', l_url);
apex_json.close_object();
end;
Note that I'm using apex_item.get_url to get the URL, this is an alternative to apex_util.prepare_url. I'm also using apex_json to emit JSON for the response to the client.
Also, the reference to apex_application.g_x01 is important, as this will contain the selected values from the calling page. You'll see how this was set in the next step.
Open the URL with JavaScript
Enter the following code in the Function and Global Variable Declaration attribute of the calling page:
function openFormPage(ids) {
apex.server.process(
'GET_FORM_URL',
{
x01: ids.join(':')
},
{
success: function (data) {
var funcBody = data.url.replace(/^"javascript:/, '').replace(/\"$/,'');
new Function(funcBody).call(window);
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.error(errorThrown);
// handle error
}
}
);
}
In this case, I'm using apex.server.process to call the server-side PL/SQL process. Note that I'm passing the value of ids.join(':') to x01. That value will become accessible in the PL/SQL code as apex_application.g_x01. You can use additional items, or you can pass a colon-delimited string of values to just one item (as I'm doing).
The URL that's returned to the client will not be a standard URL, it will be a JavaScript snippet that includes the URL. You'll need to remove the leading and trailing parts and use what's left to generate a dynamic function in JavaScript.
This is generally frowned upon, but I believe it's safe enough in this context since I know I can trust that the response from the process call is not malicious JavaScript code.
Add a security check!!!
Because you're creating a dynamic way to generate URLs to open page 3 (or whatever page you're targeting), you need to ensure that the modal page is protected. On that page, create a Before Header process that validates the value of P3_ITEM_NAME. If the user isn't supposed to be able to access those values, then throw an exception.
In Loopback it is easy to include relational objects when querying for data. For example, one can include all the comments that belong to a blog post in a single call using the include filter.
But in my case I want to get data that doesn't have a relation.
I have a User Detail page. On that page a user can choose a username and there's also a dropdown list where a user can choose from what country he is.
So from the client side I do something like:
Country.find().$promise.then(function(countryData) {
$scope.countries = countryData;
});
Player.find().$promise.then(function(playerData) {
$scope.player = playerData;
}
But what if I get more lists that I want to fill? Like, city, state, colors etc.
Then I'd have to make a lot of separate calls.
Is there a way to include all this data in one call, eventhough they have no relation? Something like this:
Player.find({ filter: { include: ["countries", "colors"] } }).$promise.then(function(data) {
// some stuff
}
You may want to try using the Where filter as documented here
An example of this for querying two specific things would be:
Post.find({where: {and: [{title: 'My Post'}, {content: 'Hello'}]}},
function (err, posts) {
...
});
You could create a remote method on one of your models that makes the calls internally and packages them back up for you.
Use some promise library if not using ES6 to wait for all and then return
Model.getAll = function(next) {
var promises = [];
promises.push(Model.app.models.Country.find());
promises.push(Model.app.models.Player.find());
promises.push(Model.app.models.Color.find());
Promise.all(promises)
.then(function(results) {
next(results);
});
}
/**
Register your remote method here
*/

I have problem and try with this solution but i get error "Failed with multiple errors, see details for more information.". It seems like there is bug on Loopback while using promise.all
I'm trying to pull a list of connected users in Firebase to simply populate a select dropdown. My problem is that I can't seem to access the child objects properly.
Using connectedUsers.userName (see below code) works but only for my own user data, it doesn't pull anything else.
It seemed to me like changing "myUserRef.on" to "userListRef.on" and using something like "snapshot.child('userName').val()" should work but it just throws undefined. The same goes for "connectedUsers.child.userName", I'm sure I'm missing something simple here.
In the below code by changing to "userListRef.on('child_added', function(snapshot)" I can successfully add and remove user data from Firebase, and log all of the objects to the console and all data looks fine when I drill down the objects. I just need a way to access that data so I can put all connected users into a select dropdown or remove them from it when they disconnect.
var userListRef = new Firebase('https://myaccount.firebaseIO.com/users/');
var myUserRef = userListRef.push();
// ADD USER DATA TO FIREBASE
var userId = $('#myIdInput').val();
var userName = $('#nameInput').val();
myUserRef.push({userId: userId, userName: userName});
// READ USER OBJECTS AND FIRE ADDUSER FUNCTION
myUserRef.on('child_added', function(snapshot) {
var connectedUsers = snapshot.val();
console.log(addUser);
//addUser(connectedUsers.userId, connectedUsers.userName);
});
// ADD USER TO SELECT DROPDOWN
function addUser(userId, userName) {
var modSelect = $('#tsmmodsendto');
modSelect.append($('<option></option>').attr("value", userId).text(userName));
}
// READ USER OBJECTS AND FIRE REMOVEUSER FUNCTION
myUserRef.on('child_removed', function(snapshot) {
var connectedUsers = snapshot.val();
console.log(removeUser);
//removeUser(connectedUsers.userId, connectedUsers.userName);
});
// REMOVE USER TO SELECT DROPDOWN
function removeUser(userId, userName) {
var modSelect = $('#tsmmodsendto');
modSelect.append($('<option></option>').removeAttr("value", userId).text(userName));
}
// ON DISCONNECT REMOVE USER DATA FROM FIREBASE
myUserRef.onDisconnect().remove();
The code you've written won't work properly because each user is writing to:
/users/PUSH_ID/PUSH_ID
And is then listening at:
/users/PUSH_ID
So every client is going to be listening only to its own data and will never see anyone else's data. In order to view other people's data, you need to all be listening / writing to the same path.
In your question you mention you see "undefined" if you change to listening at /users. Could you simplify your code, and use that approach, and perhaps then I can provide a more helpful answer?
Or if I'm not understanding correctly, please simplify and clarify your question.
I'm looping through a content of an ArrayController whose content is set to a RecordArray. Each record is DS.Model, say Client
{{# each item in controller}}
{{item.balance}}
{{/each}}
balance is a property of the Client model and a call to item.balance will fetch the property from the model directly. I want to apply some formatting to balance to display in a money format. The easy way to do this is to add a computed property, balanceMoney, to the Client object and do the formatting there:
App.Client = DS.Model({
balance: DS.attr('balance'),
balanceMoney: function() {
// format the balance property
return Money.format(this.get('balance');
}.property('balance')
});
This serves well the purpose, the right place for balanceMoney computed property though, is the client controller rather than the client model. I was under the impression that Ember lookup properties in the controller first and then tries to retrieve them in the model if nothing has been found. None of this happen here though, a call to item.balanceMoney will just be ignored and will never reach the controller.
Is it possible to configure somehow a controller to act always as a proxy to the model in all circumstances.
UPDATE - Using the latest version from emberjs master repository you can configure the array controller to resolve records' methods through a controller proxy by overriding the lookupItemController method in the ArrayController. The method should return the name of the controller without the 'controller' suffix i.e. client instead of clientController. Merely setting the itemControllerClass property in the array controller doesn't seem to work for the moment.
lookupItemController: function( object ) {
return 'client';
},
This was recently added to master: https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/commit/2a75cacc30c8d02acc83094b47ae8a6900c0975b
As of this writing it is not in any released versions. It will mostly likely be part of 1.0.0.pre.3.
If you're only after formatting, another possibility is to make a handlebars helper. You could implement your own {{formatMoney item.balance}} helper, for instance.
For something more general, I made this one to wrap an sprintf implementation (pick one of several out there):
Ember.Handlebars.registerHelper('sprintf', function (/*arbitrary number of arguments*/) {
var options = arguments[arguments.length - 1],
fmtStr = arguments[0],
params = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1, -1);
for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
params[i] = this.get(params[i]);
}
return vsprintf(fmtStr, params);
});
And then you can do {{sprintf "$%.2f" item.balance}}.
However, the solution #luke-melia gave will be far more flexible--for example letting you calculate a balance in the controller, as opposed to simply formatting a single value.
EDIT:
A caveat I should have mentioned because it's not obvious: the above solution does not create a bound handlebars helper, so changes to the underlying model value won't be reflected. There's supposed to be a registerBoundHelper already committed to Ember.js which would fix this, but that too is not released yet.
I have a DS.Store which uses the DS.RESTAdapter and a ChatMessage object defined as such:
App.ChatMessage = DS.Model.extend({
contents: DS.attr('string'),
roomId: DS.attr('string')
});
Note that a chat message exists in a room (not shown for simplicity), so in my chat messages controller (which extends Ember.ArrayController) I only want to load messages for the room the user is currently in:
loadMessages: function(){
var room_id = App.getPath("current_room.id");
this.set("content", App.store.find(App.ChatMessage, {room_id: room_id});
}
This sets the content to a DS.AdapterPopulatedModelArray and my view happily displays all the returned chat messages in an {{#each}} block.
Now it comes to adding a new message, I have the following in the same controller:
postMessage: function(contents) {
var room_id = App.getPath("current_room.id");
App.store.createRecord(App.ChatMessage, {
contents: contents,
room_id: room_id
});
App.store.commit();
}
This initiates an ajax request to save the message on the server, all good so far, but it doesn't update the view. This pretty much makes sense as it's a filtered result and if I remove the room_id filter on App.store.find then it updates as expected.
Trying this.pushObject(message) with the message record returned from App.store.createRecord raises an error.
How do I manually add the item to the results? There doesn't seem to be a way as far as I can tell as both DS.AdapterPopulatedModelArray and DS.FilteredModelArray are immutable.
so couple of thoughts:
(reference: https://github.com/emberjs/data/issues/190)
how to listen for new records in the datastore
a normal Model.find()/findQuery() will return you an AdapterPopulatedModelArray, but that array will stand on its own... it wont know that anything new has been loaded into the database
a Model.find() with no params (or store.findAll()) will return you ALL records a FilteredModelArray, and ember-data will "register" it into a list, and any new records loaded into the database will be added to this array.
calling Model.filter(func) will give you back a FilteredModelArray, which is also registered with the store... and any new records in the store will cause ember-data to "updateModelArrays", meaning it will call your filter function with the new record, and if you return true, then it will stick it into your existing array.
SO WHAT I ENDED UP DOING: was immediately after creating the store, I call store.findAll(), which gives me back an array of all models for a type... and I attach that to the store... then anywhere else in the code, I can addArrayObservers to those lists.. something like:
App.MyModel = DS.Model.extend()
App.store = DS.Store.create()
App.store.allMyModels = App.store.findAll(App.MyModel)
//some other place in the app... a list controller perhaps
App.store.allMyModels.addArrayObserver({
arrayWillChange: function(arr, start, removeCount, addCount) {}
arrayDidChange: function(arr, start, removeCount, addCount) {}
})
how to push a model into one of those "immutable" arrays:
First to note: all Ember-Data Model instances (records) have a clientId property... which is a unique integer that identifies the model in the datastore cache whether or not it has a real server-id yet (example: right after doing a Model.createRecord).
so the AdapterPopulatedModelArray itself has a "content" property... which is an array of these clientId's... and when you iterate over the AdapterPopulatedModelArray, the iterator loops over these clientId's and hands you back the full model instances (records) that map to each clientId.
SO WHAT I HAVE DONE
(this doesn't mean it's "right"!) is to watch those findAll arrays, and push new clientId's into the content property of the AdapterPopulatedModelArray... SOMETHING LIKE:
arrayDidChange:function(arr, start, removeCount, addCount){
if (addCount == 0) {return;} //only care about adds right now... not removes...
arr.slice(start, start+addCount).forEach(function(item) {
//push clientId of this item into AdapterPopulatedModelArray content list
self.getPath('list.content').pushObject(item.get('clientId'));
});
}
what I can say is: "its working for me" :) will it break on the next ember-data update? totally possible
For those still struggling with this, you can get yourself a dynamic DS.FilteredArray instead of a static DS.AdapterPopulatedRecordArray by using the store.filter method. It takes 3 parameters: type, query and finally a filter callback.
loadMessages: function() {
var self = this,
room_id = App.getPath('current_room.id');
this.store.filter(App.ChatMessage, {room_id: room_id}, function (msg) {
return msg.get('roomId') === room_id;
})
// set content only after promise has resolved
.then(function (messages) {
self.set('content', messages);
});
}
You could also do this in the model hook without the extra clutter, because the model hook will accept a promise directly:
model: function() {
var self = this,
room_id = App.getPath("current_room.id");
return this.store.filter(App.ChatMessage, {room_id: room_id}, function (msg) {
return msg.get('roomId') === room_id;
});
}
My reading of the source (DS.Store.find) shows that what you'd actually be receiving in this instance is an AdapterPopulatedModelArray. A FilteredModelArray would auto-update as you create records. There are passing tests for this behaviour.
As of ember.data 1.13 store.filter was marked for removal, see the following ember blog post.
The feature was made available as a mixin. The GitHub page contains the following note
We recommend that you refactor away from using this addon. Below is a short guide for the three filter use scenarios and how to best refactor each.
Why? Simply put, it's far more performant (and not a memory leak) for you to manage filtering yourself via a specialized computed property tailored specifically for your needs
