Emberjs Binding stop working when select multipe = true - ember.js

If the select is multipe=false, it works. If we change it to multiple=true, the bindings stop working.
http://jsfiddle.net/6Evrq/163/
App = Ember.Application.create();
App.Router.map(function () {
// put your routes here
});
App.IndexController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
selectedServiceFlavours: Ember.computed.defaultTo('serviceFlavours.firstObject.myvalue'),
serviceFlavours: function(){
return [
{name: "1 (1)", myvalue: "1"},
{name: "2 (2)", myvalue: "2"},
{name: "3 (3)", myvalue: "3"}
];
}.property(),
});
And the select:
{{view Ember.Select content=serviceFlavours optionLabelPath="content.name" optionValuePath="content.myvalue" value=selectedServiceFlavours multiple=true }} selected: {{selectedServiceFlavours}}

Since the value property is not supported for a multiple select, you must use the selection property as you did in your fiddle:
{{view Ember.Select content=serviceFlavours optionLabelPath="content.name"
optionValuePath="content.myvalue" selection=selectedServiceFlavours multiple=true}}
In order to get your selected option to return to default on content update you need to pass the correct parameter to your computed property, like this:
selectedServiceFlavours: function () {
return [this.get('serviceFlavours.firstObject')];
}.property('serviceFlavours')
This way Ember knows to update the selectedServiceFlavour when the serviceFlavours change.
Here is your updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/taLgt1md/5/

Weird binding with Ember.Select value

I'm having a weird issue with the Ember.Select view when I try to bind its value to a model.
Here is an abstract of what I'm doing, the complete jsbin can be found here:
Using JavaScript: http://jsbin.com/jayutuzazi/1/edit?html,js,output
Using CoffeeScript: http://jsbin.com/nutoxiravi/2/edit?html,js,output
Basically what I'm trying to do is use an attribute of a model to set an attribute of another model.
I have the Age model like this
App.Age = DS.Model.extend({
label: DS.attr('string'),
base: DS.attr('number')
});
And an other model named Person like this
App.Person = DS.Model.extend({
name: DS.attr('string'),
ageBase: DS.attr('number')
});
The template looks like this:
<!-- person/edit.hbs -->
<form>
<p>Name {{input value=model.name}}</p>
<p>
Age
{{view "select" value=model.ageBase
content=ages
optionValuePath="content.base"
optionLabelPath="content.label"}}
</p>
</form>
What I am trying to do is have a select in the Person edit form that lists the ages using base as value and label as label.
I expect the correct value to be selected when loading and to change when the selected option changes.
Has can be seen in the jsbin output, the selected is correctly populated but it sets the ageBase value of the edited person to undefined and does not select any option. The model value is correctly set when an option is selected though.
Am I doing something wrong ? Is it a bug ? What am I supposed to do to make this work ?
Thank you :)
You can conditionally render based on fulfilment of the ages as follows, since select doesn't handle promises (more on that below):
{{#if ages.isFulfilled}}
{{view "select" value=ageBase
content=ages
optionValuePath="content.base"
optionLabelPath="content.label"}}
{{/if}}
I updated your JsBin demonstrating it working.
I also illustrate in the JsBin how you don't have to qualify with model. in your templates since object controllers are proxies to the models they decorate. This means your view doesn't have to be concerned with if a property comes from the model or some computed property on the controller.
There is currently a PR #9468 for select views which I made a case for getting merged into Ember which addresses some issues with selection and option paths. There is also meta issue #5259 to deal with a number of select view issues including working with promises.
From issue #5259 you will find that Ember core developer, Robert Jackson, has some candidate select replacements. I cloned one into this JsBin running against latest production release version of Ember.
There is nothing at all preventing you using Roberts code as a select view replacement in your app. Asynchronous collections/promises will just work (and it is MUCH faster rendering from the benchmarks I have seen).
The template for that component is just:
{{#if prompt}}
<option disabled>{{prompt}}</option>
{{/if}}
{{#each option in resolvedOptions}}
<option {{bind-attr value=option.id}}>{{option.name}}</option>
{{/each}}
The js of the component is:
App.AsyncSelectComponent = Ember.Component.extend({
tagName: 'select',
prompt: null,
options: null,
initialValue: null,
resolvedOptions: null,
resolvedInitialValue: null,
init: function() {
var component = this;
this._super.apply(this, arguments);
Ember.RSVP.hash({
resolvedOptions: this.options,
resolvedInitialValue: this.initialValue
})
.then(function(resolvedHash){
Ember.setProperties(component, resolvedHash);
//Run after render to ensure the <option>s have rendered
Ember.run.schedule('afterRender', function() {
component.updateSelection();
});
});
},
updateSelection: function() {
var initialValue = Ember.get(this, 'resolvedInitialValue');
var options = Ember.get(this, 'resolvedOptions') || [];
var initialValueIndex = options.indexOf(initialValue);
var prompt = Ember.get(this, 'prompt');
this.$('option').prop('selected', false);
if (initialValueIndex > -1) {
this.$('option:eq(' + initialValueIndex + ')').prop('selected', true);
} else if (prompt) {
this.$('option:eq(0)').prop('selected', true);
}
},
change: function() {
this._changeSelection();
},
_changeSelection: function() {
var value = this._selectedValue();
this.sendAction('on-change', value);
},
_selectedValue: function() {
var offset = 0;
var selectedIndex = this.$()[0].selectedIndex;
if (this.prompt) { offset = 1; }
return Ember.get(this, 'resolvedOptions')[selectedIndex - offset];
}
});
The problem is that in:
{{view "select" value=model.ageBase
When the app starts, value is undefined and model.ageBase gets synchronized to that before value is synchronized to model.ageBase. So, the workaround is to skip that initial undefined value.
See: http://jsbin.com/rimuku/1/edit?html,js,console,output
The relevant parts are:
template
{{view "select" value=selectValue }}
controller
App.IndexController = Ember.Controller.extend({
updateModel: function() {
var value = this.get('selectValue');
var person = this.get('model');
if ( value ) { // skip initial undefined value
person.set('ageBase', value);
}
}.observes('selectValue'),
selectValue: function() {
// randomly used this one
return this.store.find('age', 3);
}.property()
});
givanse's answer should work.
I don't think it's because value is undefined, but because value is just an integer (42) and not equal to any of the selects content, which are Person objects ({ id: 2, label: 'middle', base: 42 }).
You could do something similar to what givens suggests or use relationships.
Models
//
// Models
//
App.Person = DS.Model.extend({
name: DS.attr('string'),
ageBase: DS.belongsTo('age', { async: true })
});
App.Age = DS.Model.extend({
label: DS.attr('string'),
base: DS.attr('number')
});
//
// Fixtures
//
App.Person.reopenClass({
FIXTURES: [
{ id: 1, name: 'John Doe', ageBase: 2 }
]
});
App.Age.reopenClass({
FIXTURES: [
{ id: 1, label: 'young', base: 2 },
{ id: 2, label: 'middle', base: 42 },
{ id: 3, label: 'old', base: 82 }
]
});
Template:
<h1>Edit</h1>
<pre>
name: {{model.name}}
age: {{model.ageBase.base}}
</pre>
<form>
<p>Name {{input value=model.name}}</p>
<p>
Age
{{view "select" value=model.ageBase
content=ages
optionValuePath="content"
optionLabelPath="content.label"}}
</p>
</form>
Ok, I found a solution that I think is more satisfying. As I thought the issue was coming from ages being a promise. The solution was to ensure that the ages list was loaded before the page was rendered.
Here is how I did it:
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return Ember.RSVP.hash({
person: this.store.find('person', 1),
ages: this.store.findAll('age')
});
}
});
That's it! All I need from there is to change the view according the new model:
{{#with model}}
<form>
<p>Name {{input value=person.name}}</p>
<p>
Age
{{view "select" value=person.ageBase
content=ages
optionValuePath="content.base"
optionLabelPath="content.label"}}
</p>
</form>
{{/with}}
The complete working solution can be found here: http://jsbin.com/qeriyohacu/1/edit?html,js,output
Thanks again to #givanse and #Larsaronen for your answers :)

ember render w/ ArrayController

I am trying to get a menu working using {{render}} in ember.
Controller:
App.NavigationController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
itemController: 'navSheet',
init: function() {
this._super();
this.set( 'content', [
{ name: 'Sheet 1', type: 'Sheet', id: 1 },
{ name: 'Sheet 2', type: 'Sheet', id: 2 }
]);
}
});
App.NavSheetController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
getID: function() {
return 'sheet-' + this.get( 'id' );
}
});
Then I use {{render "navigation"}} to render using the following emblem template:
ul
each controller.content
li data-type=type! id=getID! = name
[UPDATE WITH OUTPUT]
With "controller.content" here, I do loop through the content. With use "each" this isn't available. However, in any case the itemController is not in the context inside the loop. The resulting HTML is:
<li data-type="Sheet" id="">
<script id="metamorph-8-start" type="text/x-placeholder"></script>Sheet 1
<script id="metamorph-8-end" type="text/x-placeholder"></script></li>
<li data-type="Sheet" id="">
<script id="metamorph-9-start" type="text/x-placeholder"></script>Sheet 2
<script id="metamorph-9-end" type="text/x-placeholder"></script></li>
Note in particular that "getID" value doesn't show up. In fact I can't seem to access the itemController at all. What am I doing wrong?
I've never used a emblem, so I don't totally understand the template, but if I understand correctly you're trying to get sheetId into the li and you're using the getID function to do this. I'm going to guess that Emblem will convert it into this template
<li {{bind-attr data-type=type dataid=getID}}>
But it also looks like you're doing getID!=name or something like that. That kind of logic wouldn't work in handlebars.
Now getID won't run because it needs to be a computed property
App.NavSheetController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
getID: function() {
return 'sheet-' + this.get( 'id' );
}.property('id')
});

Ember: How to set controller model for use in select view

See: http://jsfiddle.net/cyclomarc/VXT53/8/
I have a select view in which I simply want to list all the authors available in the fixtures data. I therefore try to use a separate controller in which I want to set the content = App.Author.find(), but that doesn't work ...
App.AuthorsController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
//content: App.Store.findAll(App.Author)
//content: App.Author.find()
});
I then want to use the AuthorController for contentBinding in the selectView, but also this is not succsesful ...
{{view Ember.Select
contentBinding="App.AuthorsController"
optionValuePath="content.id"
optionLabelPath="content.name"
valueBinding="App.PublicationsEditController.author"
prompt="Select an author"
}}
The use case is that I have a publication in which an author is set (e.g. Marc) and I want to allow the user to change this to one of the available authors and then bind the new selected author to the publication model so that after a save the new author is saved.
I guess this what you are after: http://jsfiddle.net/VXT53/10/
I had to do a couple of changes, first your router map where slightly wrong, the edit segment had to go after the id to match your template name pulications/edit:
App.Router.map(function () {
this.resource('publications', { path: '/' }, function () {
this.route("edit", { path: "/edit/:publication_id" });
});
});
Your Ember.Select where binding to a class instead to some content, to set it up correctly I've defined a PublicationsEditControllet to requiere trough the needs API access to the AuthorsController's content:
App.PublicationsEditController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
needs: ['authors'],
...
});
this is how you then use it for your select:
{{view Ember.Select
contentBinding="controllers.authors.content"
optionValuePath="content.id"
optionLabelPath="content.name"
valueBinding="content.name"
selectionBinding="selectedAuthor"
prompt="Select an author"
}}
Furthermore I've created a setupController hook which is used to set the AuthorsController's content to the list of authors:
App.PublicationsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function () {
return App.Publication.find();
},
setupController: function(controller, model) {
this._super(controller, model);
this.controllerFor('authors').set('content', App.Author.find());
}
});
And lastly on you PublicationsEditController is a new property attached selectedAuthor to hold the currently selected author for binding etc.
App.PublicationsEditController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
needs: ['authors'],
selectedAuthor: null
});
I guess this should work now and brings you one step further.
Hope it helps.

Display collection of elements, hide active element

UPDATE Since asking this question I have redesigned my UI such that I no longer need this feature; however I'm leaving this open and active for the sake of helping others who end up with a similar problem.
I'm listing a collection of elements inside a template and each element has a link that opens it up to the right of the list. When one is clicked, I want to hide just that element and show it again when another one is clicked. My current approach to doing this is to set an attribute (active) to true on the model. This feels wrong for three reasons:
This attribute is not actually part of the model's schema, it's just arbitrary; which makes it seem like a controller concern (see below for why that doesn't work)
I have to first set active to false on all models, forcing me to change another router's model, which may be good or bad, I'm not sure
In the recent PeepCode screencast he showed using #each.{attribute} to bind to an attributes in an array; this makes me feel like there must be something similar I could do (like this.set("#each.active", false)) to set them all in one fell swoop
I wanted to use a method on the controller but it doesn't seem I can pass arguments into functions in Handlebars if statements.
Here's the code I'm using to render the list:
{{#each note in controller}}
{{!v-- I was trying to do {{#if isCurrentNote note}} but that seems to be invalid handlebars}}
{{#unless note.active}}
<li class="sticky-list-item">
{{view Ember.TextArea classNames="sticky-note" valueBinding="note.content"}}
{{#linkTo note note classNames="sticky-permalink"}}
∞
{{/linkTo}}
</li>
{{/unless}}
{{/each}}
And here are the routes:
App.NotesController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
// v-- this is what I was trying to do, but couldn't pass note in the template
isCurrentNote: function(note){
return this.get("currentNote") == note;
}.property("currentNote")
});
App.NoteRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
setupController: function(controller,model){
this.modelFor("notes").forEach(function(note){
note.set("active", false);
});
model.set("active", true);
}
});
Like I said, what I have works, but it feels wrong. Can anyone confirm my suspicion or help ease my soul a bit?
Thanks!
to me this looks like something that should be done mostly by the NotesView with a NotesController that stores the Note selection
Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/colymba/UMkUL/6/
the NotesController would hold all the notes and a record of the selected one:
App.NotesController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
content: [],
selectedNote: null,
selectNote: function(id){
var note = this.get('content').findProperty('id', id);
this.set('selectedNote', note);
}
});
with the NotesViewobserving that selection and showing/hiding elements of the list accordingly
App.NotesView = Ember.View.extend({
templateName: 'notes',
refresh: function(){
var view = this.$(),
selection = this.get('controller.selectedNote');
if (view) {
view.find('li').show();
if (selection) view.find('li.note_'+selection.id).hide();
}
}.observes('controller.selectedNote')
});
Here is the Note object and it's 2 templates (when in a list or displayed in full). The ListView handles the click event and passes the id to the NotesController.
App.Note = Ember.Object.extend({
name: '',
content: ''
});
App.NoteView = Ember.View.extend({
templateName: 'note'
});
App.NoteListItemView = Ember.View.extend({
tagName: 'li',
templateName: 'noteListItem',
classNameBindings: ['noteID'],
noteID: function(){
return 'note_' + this._context.id;
}.property(),
click: function(e){
this.get('controller').selectNote(this._context.id);
}
});
in the NotesView template everything is displayed and if there is a selectedNote, we display the Note again in full:
{{#each note in controller}}
{{#with note}}
{{view App.NoteListItemView}}
{{/with}}
{{/each}}
{{#if selectedNote}}
{{#with selectedNote}}
{{view App.NoteView}}
{{/with}}
{{/if}}
the Routes to put it together
App.Router.map(function() {
this.resource('notes', { path: "/notes" });
});
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
enter: function() {
this.transitionTo('notes');
}
});
App.NotesRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return [
App.Note.create({id: 1, name: 'Milk', content: '15% fresh milk'}),
App.Note.create({id: 2, name: 'Juice', content: 'Orange with pulp'}),
App.Note.create({id: 3, name: 'Cereals', content: 'Kelloggs Froot Loops'}),
];
},
setupController: function(controller, model) {
controller.set('content', model);
},
renderTemplate: function(controller, model) {
this.render('notes', { outlet: 'content' });
}
});

select dropdown with ember

I'm trying to produce a select input and pass the selected object to the change event on the view. The ember contact example uses a <ul> but with a select the view needs to be outside the each otherwise the change even isn't fired.
Here is the view js:
App.SelectView = Ember.View.extend({
change: function(e) {
//event for select
var content = this.get('content');
console.log(content);
App.selectedWidgetController.set('content', [content]);
},
click: function(e) {
//event for ul
var content = this.get('content');
console.log(content);
App.selectedWidgetController.set('content', [content]);
}
});
The ul from the example works:
<ul>
{{#each App.widgetController.content}}
{{#view App.SelectView contentBinding="this"}}
<li>{{content.name}}</li>
{{/view}}
{{/each}}
</ul>
But if I replace html directly, the change event isn't fired (which makes sense)
<select>
{{#each App.widgetController.content}}
{{#view App.SelectView contentBinding="this"}}
<option>{{content.name}}</option>
{{/view}}
{{/each}}
</select>
So I guess the select has to be wrapped in the view.. in which case how do I pass the relevant object?... This code results in the entire array being passed:
{{#view App.select_view contentBinding="App.widgetController.content"}}
<select>
{{#each App.widgetController.content}}
<option>{{name}}</option>
{{/each}}
</select>
{{/view}}
Ember now has a built-in Select view.
Here's a usage example:
var App = Ember.Application.create();
App.Person = Ember.Object.extend({
id: null,
firstName: null,
lastName: null,
fullName: function() {
return this.get('firstName') + " " + this.get('lastName');
}.property('firstName', 'lastName').cacheable()
});
App.selectedPersonController = Ember.Object.create({
person: null
});
App.peopleController = Ember.ArrayController.create({
content: [
App.Person.create({id: 1, firstName: 'Yehuda', lastName: 'Katz'}),
App.Person.create({id: 2, firstName: 'Tom', lastName: 'Dale'}),
App.Person.create({id: 3, firstName: 'Peter', lastName: 'Wagenet'}),
App.Person.create({id: 4, firstName: 'Erik', lastName: 'Bryn'})
]
});
Your template would look like:
{{view Ember.Select
contentBinding="App.peopleController"
selectionBinding="App.selectedPersonController.person"
optionLabelPath="content.fullName"
optionValuePath="content.id"}}
Again, here's a jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/ebryn/zgLCr/
check out the answers to a similar question: How to bind value form input select to attribute in controller
In the examples a CollectionView is used with an tagName=select. You may find this helpful in getting it work.
EDIT: Since I was looking to implement a select myself, here is the solution I came up with:
views/form.js.hjs:
{{#view contentBinding="App.typeController" valueBinding="type" tagName="select"}}
{{#each content}}
<option {{bindAttr value="title"}}>{{title}}</option>
{{/each}}
{{/view}}
{{#view Ember.Button target="parentView" action="submitEntry"}}Save{{/view}}
The select is part of a form. I do check for the submit event and in there read the value:
app.js.coffee
# provides the select, add value: 'my_id' if you need differentiation
# between display name (title) and value
app.typeController = Ember.ArrayProxy.create
content: [{title:'Energy'}, {title:'Gas'}, {title:'Water'}]
# simplified version, but should prove the point
app.form_view = Ember.View.create
templateName: 'views_form'
type: null
submitEntry: () ->
console.log this.$().find(":selected").val()
Hope this helps.
This isn't an Answer, just a fix on the broken jsfiddle link.. Apparently jsfiddle has no love for ember :/ But JsBin does! http://jsbin.com/kuguf/1/edit
