How to store long expression in separate file? - vue.js

I'm building a Vue app where a user reactively generates an HTML page from certain selections. Therefore, there is a very long expression that produces said HTML page. This expression/template is stored in a separate .html file. I would like to have that expression as a computed property in my app, but not sure what's the best way. I want to be able to use either the {{ }} template syntax, or at least the syntax you get inside directives, rather than have to plaster this. in front of every property and method I use, which is what I'd have to do if I move the template to JS-land (e.g. a separate module or just directly define it in the computed property).
Right now I got it working, but it's extremely hacky:
let appSpec = {
/* [snip] */
computed: {
/* other computed properties and… */
html () {
return getAppHTML(this);
}
},
};
let sheetTemplate = await (await fetch("sheet-template.html")).text();
let templateVars = [
...Object.keys(INITIAL_DATA),
...Object.keys(appSpec.computed),
...Object.keys(appSpec.methods)
];
let getAppHTML = new Function(`{${ templateVars.join(", ") }}`, "return `" + sheetTemplate + "`");
/* ... */
I’m thinking there must be a better way to do this.
I don't want to inject the expression directly into the places it's going to be used in my app (e.g. <iframe :srcdoc>), because I want to have a property that corresponds to it (for watchers etc).
Note that I'm using the in-browser API, no build step, and I'd rather keep it that way.

vBulletin 3.x - How to get custom variable to render template conditionals?

I am trying to make a product that will give me a different header based on the forum I am in, that's no problem and complete. My issue lays with using template conditionals inside of said option.
I am currently using a forum option to insert my custom template additions:
In global_complete hook I am using:
global $vbulletin;
if ($GLOBALS[foruminfo]["forumid"]>0) {
$forum_code = '';
$_fid = $GLOBALS[foruminfo]["forumid"];
$forum_info = $vbulletin->forumcache[$_fid];
if ($forum_info["code"]) {
$forum_code = $forum_info["code"];
} elseif ($forum_info["parentid"]) {
while ($forum_code=='' && $forum_info["parentid"]>0) {
$forum_info = $vbulletin->forumcache[$forum_info["parentid"]];
$forum_code = $forum_info["code"];
}
}
}
Then I place $forum_code into my header temple.
I would like to be able to get the conditionals to work so I can only show things to members or usergroups within the header. Is there a way to get the variable to not ignore the conditions? they are included in the DB entry, just being ignored when rendered to the page.
Sample Conditional:
<if condition="$show['member']">Member<else/>Guest</if>
What is actually being rendered:
MemberGuest

Cypress Get Attribute value and store in Variable

I want to get the Attribute value and store in a variable how we can achieve this in cypress
In my case I want to get the complete class value and store it in variable.
This code just give me the attribute class value but how I can store the fetch value in variable
cy.get('div[class*="ui-growl-item-container ui-state-highlight ui-corner-all ui-shadow ui-growl-message"]').invoke('attr', 'class')
I was trying to compare the style of one element with another to make sure they were equal. Here's the code that seems to work for me.
cy.get('.searchable-group-selector-card-image')
.eq(4)
.invoke('attr', 'style')
.then(($style1) => {
const style1 = $style1
})
A good way to solve this kind of scenario is to use the alias mechanism. One could leverage this functionality to enqueue multiple elements and then check all of them together by chaining the results. I've recently come to a case in an SPA where the assertion had to happen between elements that were spread across different angular routes (call them different pages).
In your use case, this would like:
cy.get('.searchable-group-selector-card-image')
.eq(4)
.invoke('attr', 'style')
.as('style_1')
cy.get('.another-element')
.invoke('attr', 'style')
.as('style_2')
// later on for example you could do
cy.get('#style_1').then(style_1 => {
cy.get('#style_2').then(style_2 => {
// Both values are available and any kind of assertion can be performed
expect(style_1).to.include(style_2)
});
});
This is described in Variables and Aliases section of the Cypress Documentation.
Here is how I got the value of for attribute in a label tag which had text "Eat" inside.
cy.contains('Eat').then(($label) => {
const id = $label.attr('for');
}
Most important thing is to get the selector right, so it exactly finds the value you are looking for. In this case you already found it. By using then() gives you the ability to store it in a variable.
cy.get('div[class*="ui-growl-item-container ui-state-highlight ui-corner-all ui-shadow ui-growl-message"]').invoke('attr', 'class')
.then($growl-message => {
const message = $growl-message.text()
//do the checks with the variable message. For example:
cy.contains(message)
})
Note that the scope of the variable is within the curly brackets. Thus using the variable has to be within those curly brackets.

Event handling after HTML injection with Vue.js

Vue is not registering event handler for HTML injected objects. How do I do this manually or what is a better way to work around my problem?
Specifically, I send a query to my server to find a token in text and return the context (surrounding text) of that token as it exists in unstructured natural language. The server also goes through the context and finds a list of those words that also happen to be in my token set.
When I render to my page I want all of these found tokens in the list to be clickable so that I can send the text of that token as a new search query. The big problem I am having is my issue does not conform to a template. The clickable text varies in number and positioning.
An example of what I am talking about is that my return may look like:
{
"context": "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected",
"chunks": ['human events', 'one people', 'political bands']
}
And the resulting output I am looking for is the sentence looks something like this in psuedocode:
When in the Course of <a #click='search("human events")'>human events</a>, it becomes necessary for <a #click='search("one people")'>one people</a> to dissolve the <a #click='search("political bands")'>political bands</a> which have connected
This is what I have tried so far though the click handler is not registered and the function never gets called:
<v-flex xs10 v-html="addlink(context.context, context.chunks)"></v-flex>
and in my methods section:
addlink: function(words, matchterms){
for(var index in matchterms){
var regquery = matchterms[index].replace(this.regEscape, '\\$&');
var query = matchterms[index];
var regEx = new RegExp(regquery, "ig");
words = words.replace(regEx, '<a href=\'#\' v-on:click.prevent=\'doSearch("'+ query +'")\'>' + query + '</a>');
}
return words;
}
As I said, this does not work and I know why. This is just showing that because of the nature of the problem is seems like regex is the correct solution but that gets me into a v-html injection situation. Is there something I can do in Vue to register the event handlers or can some one tell me a better way to load this data so I keep my links inline with the sentence and make them functional as well?
I've already posted one answer but I've just realised that there's a totally different approach that might work depending on your circumstances.
You could use event delegation. So rather than putting click listeners on each <a> you could put a single listener on the wrapper element. Within the listener you could then check whether the clicked element was an <a> (using event.target) and act accordingly.
Here's one way you could approach it:
<template>
<div>
<template v-for="segment in textSegments">
<a v-if="segment.link" href="#" #click.prevent="search(segment.text)">
{{ segment.text }}
</a>
<template v-else>
{{ segment.text }}
</template>
</template>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data () {
return {
"context": "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected",
"chunks": ['human events', 'one people', 'political bands']
}
},
computed: {
textSegments () {
const chunks = this.chunks
// This needs escaping correctly
const re = new RegExp('(' + chunks.join('|') + ')', 'gi')
// The filter removes empty strings
const segments = this.context.split(re).filter(text => text)
return segments.map(segment => {
return {
link: segment.match(re),
text: segment
}
})
}
},
methods: {
search (chunk) {
console.log(chunk)
}
}
}
</script>
I've parsed the context text into an array of segments that can then be handled cleanly using Vue's template syntax.
I've used a single RegExp and split, which will not discard matches if you wrap them in a capture group, (...).
Going back to your original example, v-html only supports native HTML, not Vue template syntax. So you can add events using onclick attributes but not #click or v-on:click. However, using onclick wouldn't provide easy access to your search method, which is scoped to your component.

bind dynamically to this vuejs

Hey guys I have the following function its working ok but I think it could be better.
methods: {
onFileChange(e, filedName) {
console.log(e.target.files);
console.log(filedName);
const file = e.target.files[0];
const fileToCheck=document.getElementById(filedName);
console.log(fileToCheck);
if(filedName=='thumbnail1'){
if(fileToCheck.value!=''){
this.thumbnail1 = fileToCheck;
this.thumbnail1Url= URL.createObjectURL(file);
} else {
this.thumbnail1=null;
this.thumbnail1Url=null;
}
}
if(filedName=='thumbnail2'){
if(fileToCheck.value!=''){
console.log(fileToCheck);
this.thumbnail2=fileToCheck;
this.thumbnail2Url = URL.createObjectURL(file);
} else {this.thumbnail2=fileToCheck; this.thumbnail2Url=null;}
}
},
Instead of checking the value for
if(fieldName == "something"){
this.something = URL.createObjectURL(file)
}
I would simply pass in a string of the fieldName and bind to it dynamically by just typing this.fieldName (filedName could equal thumbnail1 or thumbnail2 or chicken for all I care I just want to be able to pass in the name of the data atrribute and bind to it that way) but when ever I do this it doesn't work. Any help here would be great.
It's not completely clear to me what you want to accomplish, but I think you're asking about creating a dynamic data property for a view component. If that's the case, there are a couple of things to consider.
First, the example you cite, this.fieldName is not correct JavaScript syntax if fieldName is a string that contains a property name. The correct version is this[fieldName].
Note, though, that you can't simply define a new data property for a Vue component by setting it to a value. That's a limitation of JavaScript that's described in the Vue documentation. If data[fieldName] is an existing property that's defined in the component's data object, then you'll be okay. Even if you don't know the value of the property, you can initialize it, for example, with a value of null and then update the value in your method. Otherwise, you'll need to add the property to an existing non-root-level property as the documentation explains.

Yii renderpartial (proccessoutput = true) Avoid Duplicate js request

Im creating a site who works with ajaxRequest, when I click a link, it will load using ajaxRequest. When I load for example user/login UserController actionLogin, I renderPartial the view with processOUtput to true so the js needed inside that view will be generated, however if I have clientScriptRegister inside that view with events, how can I avoid to generate the scriptRegistered twice or multiple depending on the ajaxRequest? I have tried Yii::app()->clientScript->isSCriptRegistered('scriptId') to check if the script is already registered but it seems that if you used ajaxRequest, the result is always false because it will only be true after the render is finished.
Controller code
if (Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest)
{
$this->renderPartial('view',array('model'=>$model),false,true);
}
View Code
if (!Yii::app()->clientScript->isScriptregistered("view-script"))
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript("view-script","
$('.link').live('click',function(){
alert('test');
})
");
If I request for the controller for the first time, it works perfectly (alert 1 time) but if I request again for that same controller without refreshing my page and just using ajaxRequest, the alert will output twice if you click it (because it keeps on generating eventhough you already registered it once)
This is the same if you have CActiveForm inside the view with jquery functionality.. the corescript yiiactiveform will be called everytime you renderPartial.
To avoid including core scripts twice
If your scripts have already been included through an earlier request, use this to avoid including them again:
// For jQuery core, Yii switches between the human-readable and minified
// versions based on DEBUG status; so make sure to catch both of them
Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['jquery.js'] = false;
Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['jquery.min.js'] = false;
If you have views that are being rendered both independently and as HTML fragments to be included with AJAX, you can wrap this inside if (Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest) to cover all bases.
To avoid including jQuery scripts twice (JS solution)
There's also the possibility of preventing scripts from being included twice on the client side. This is not directly supported and slightly more cumbersome, but in practice it works fine and it does not require you to know on the server side what's going on at the client side (i.e. which scripts have been already included).
The idea is to get the HTML from the server and simply strip out the <script> tags with regular expression replace. The important point is you can detect if jQuery core scripts and plugins have already been loaded (because they create $ or properties on it) and do this conditionally:
function stripExistingScripts(html) {
var map = {
"jquery.js": "$",
"jquery.min.js": "$",
"jquery-ui.min.js": "$.ui",
"jquery.yiiactiveform.js": "$.fn.yiiactiveform",
"jquery.yiigridview.js": "$.fn.yiiGridView",
"jquery.ba-bbq.js": "$.bbq"
};
for (var scriptName in map) {
var target = map[scriptName];
if (isDefined(target)) {
var regexp = new RegExp('<script.*src=".*' +
scriptName.replace('.', '\\.') +
'".*</script>', 'i');
html = html.replace(regexp, '');
}
}
return html;
}
There's a map of filenames and objects that will have been defined if the corresponding script has already been included; pass your incoming HTML through this function and it will check for and remove <script> tags that correspond to previously loaded scripts.
The helper function isDefined is this:
function isDefined(path) {
var target = window;
var parts = path.split('.');
while(parts.length) {
var branch = parts.shift();
if (typeof target[branch] === 'undefined') {
return false;
}
target = target[branch];
}
return true;
}
To avoid attaching event handlers twice
You can simply use a Javascript object to remember if you have already attached the handler; if yes, do not attach it again. For example (view code):
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript("view-script","
window.myCustomState = window.myCustomState || {}; // initialize if not exists
if (!window.myCustomState.liveClickHandlerAttached) {
window.myCustomState.liveClickHandlerAttached = true;
$('.link').live('click',function(){
alert('test');
})
}
");
The cleanest way is to override beforeAction(), to avoid any duplicated core script:
class Controller extends CController {
protected function beforeAction($action) {
if( Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest ) {
Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['jquery.js'] = false;
Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['jquery-2.0.0.js'] = false;
Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['anything.js'] = false;
}
return parent::beforeAction($action);
}
}
Note that you have to put the exact js file name, without the path.
