vuex + vuexfire - store objects would not update upon adding data - vue.js

in the folowing code, after i update field collection it would not
update "this.fields" (which is bound to tha collection in store.js by
vuexfire rules) - only when i refresh page. please help. thanks
var newField = {
name: this.fieldName,
area: this.fieldArea,
farmId: this.farmId
}
var docRef = fb.field.doc()
docRef.set(newField)
var id = docRef.id
console.log(id)
fb.field
.doc(id)
.get()
.then(ref => {
this.$store.commit('updateCurrentField', ref.data())
})

How, and where, are you getting the this.fields?
Is it a computed property?
it should be somthing arround the lines of this in order to keep the data updated (vuex documentation)
computed: {
fields() {
this.$store.state.fields
}
}

read from database and change state within the same asynchronous call with the database result [duplicate]

I am recently learning the map and filter method in react native and I have a question. After finding a particular row of my array (with filter), how do I set only a particular field of that specific row?
I have
this.state = {
post: [{ id: "0", author: "Duffy Duck", delay: "1", picture: "" }]
}
putpicture(id) {
const picture_new = "/gggg(yyb45789986..."
const data = this.state.post
.filter((item) => item.author == id)
// my error is here. How can i put picture_new const, inside post.picture?
.map((pictures) => this.setState({ post.picture: picture_new }))
}
Now i want setState inside map and filter for every post.
i want this output:
id:"0", author:"Duffy Duck",delay:"1", picture:"/gggg(yyb45789986..."
How can i do?
It seems to me that you're only looking to change one particular entry of your array.
It also seems like you meant to search by id and not author.
If that's the case, you'll want to use findIndex to find the correct index.
Make a shallow copy of the array so as not to modify the original.
Then assign a modified copy of that object to that index, again so as not to modify the original.
Then assign the new array to the state.
Since the updated state relies on the previous state, you should house all of this within a setState callback function. This is because state updates may be asynchronous, as outlined here: https://reactjs.org/docs/state-and-lifecycle.html#state-updates-may-be-asynchronous. In other words, this ensures you get the most up to date version of your state at the time of applying the change.
putpicture(id) {
const picture_new = '/gggg(yyb45789986...';
this.setState(({ post }) => {
// find index of item to edit
const index = post.findIndex((item) => item.id === id);
if (index === -1) return;
// create shallow copy of array
const newPost = [...post];
// replace old object with new object
newPost[index] = { ...post[index], picture: picture_new };
return { post: newPost };
});
}

If I've misunderstood your intentions, please reword your question to be more clear. You use the term "row of my array", but this a 1-dimensional array, there are no rows. In the question you also mention modifying "every post", but in a comment you mention modifying only "a post".
This doesn't 100% make sense to me - are you sure you want to set all pictures on posts by an author at once? Is the post array meant to hold multiple posts? It looks like that's the goal based on the code, so I'll answer that as is.
EDIT: changed to reflect one post at a time.
You're close to a solution - the things you're missing are
You can use .find instead of .filter since you only want one post
Since you can use .find, which returns a single item, you don't need to .map.
putpicture(id) {
const picture_new = "/gggg(yyb45789986...";
const modifiedPost = this.state.post.find((item) => item.id === id);
modifiedPost.picture = picture_new;
// now that you have the modified post, put it into state
// first, get all the other (unmodified) posts
const otherPosts = this.state.post.filter((item) => item.id !== id);
// add the new post to the array and set state
this.setState({ post: [...otherPosts, modifiedPost] });
}
As an aside, if you're going to be doing this a lot, I would recommend making your state an object with IDs as the keys, instead of an array. .find and .filter loop over each array member and can do a lot of unnecessary work. If you set up your state like this:
this.state = {
post: {
0: { id: "0", author: "Duffy Duck", delay: "1", picture: "" },
}
};
then you can modify it much more easily:
putpicture(id) {
const picture_new = "/gggg(yyb45789986...";
const newPosts = {
...this.state.post,
[id]: {
...this.state.post[id],
picture: new_picture,
}
};
this.setState({ post: newPosts });
}
This is much faster when dealing with large arrays.
In case you can have more than one post in array and anything apart of post in you state:
putpicture(id) {
const picture_new = "/gggg(yyb45789986...";
// create new array by reducing source array
const newPost = this.state.post.reduce((res, it) => {
// update only item(s) matching the condition
res.push(it.author === id ? {...it, picture: picture_new} : {...it});
return res;
}, []);
// use destructuring and previous state to update the state
this.setState(prev => {...prev, post: newPost});
}

How to pass an array of objects to child component in VueJS 2.x

I am trying to send an array containing arrays which in turn contains objects to one component from another, but the content from the array seems to be empty in the child component.
I have tried sending the data as a String using JSON.Stringify() and also as an array
My parent component:
data: function(){
return{
myLineItems : []
}
},
created(){
this.CreateLineItems();
},
methods:{
CreateLineItems(){
let myArrayData = [[{"title":"Title1","value":2768.88}],[{"title":"Title2","value":9}],[{"title":"Title3","value":53.61},{"title":"Title4","value":888.77},{"title":"Title5","value":1206.11},{"title":"Title6","value":162.5}]]
this.myLineItems = myArrayData;
}
}
My parent component's template:
/*
template: `<div><InvoiceChart v-bind:lineItems="myLineItems"></InvoiceChart></div>`
My child component:
const ChildComponent= {
props: {
lineItems: {
type: Array
}
},
mounted() {
console.log(this.lineItems);
}
};
The parent component is created as so (inside a method of our main component):
var ComponentClass = Vue.extend(InvoiceDetails);
var instance = new ComponentClass({
propsData: { invoiceid: invoiceId }
});
instance.$mount();
var elem = this.$refs['details-' + invoiceId];
elem[0].innerHTML = "";
elem[0].appendChild(instance.$el);
If I try to do a console.log(this) inside the childcomponent, I can see the correct array data exist on the lineItems property..but i can't seem to access it.
I have just started using VueJS so I haven't quite gotten a hang of the dataflow here yet, though I've tried reading the documentation as well as similar cases here on stackoverflow to no avail.
Expected result: using this.lineItems should be a populated array of my values sent from the parent.
Actual results: this.lineItems is an empty Array
Edit: The problem seemed to be related to how I created my parent component:
var ComponentClass = Vue.extend(InvoiceDetails);
var instance = new ComponentClass({
propsData: { invoiceid: invoiceId }
});
instance.$mount();
var elem = this.$refs['details-' + invoiceId];
elem[0].innerHTML = "";
elem[0].appendChild(instance.$el);
Changing this to a regular custom vue component fixed the issue
Code - https://codesandbox.io/s/znl2yy478p
You can print your object through function JSON.stringify() - in this case all functions will be omitted and only values will be printed.
Everything looks good in your code.
The issue is the property is not correctly getting passed down, and the default property is being used.
Update the way you instantiate the top level component.
Try as below =>
const ChildComponent= {
props: {
lineItems: {
type: Array
}
},
mounted() {
console.log(this.lineItems);
}
};

vuex store not refresh computed property

Following the tutorial at this web address http://stackabuse.com/single-page-apps-with-vue-js-and-flask-state-management-with-vuex/, I encountered a problem that the function in the computed property was not automatically invoked after the state in the store was changed. The relevant code is listed as following:
Survey.vue
computed: {
surveyComplete() {
if (this.survey.questions) {
const numQuestions = this.survey.questions.length
const numCompleted = this.survey.questions.filter(q =>q.choice).length
return numQuestions === numCompleted
}
return false
},
survey() {
return this.$store.state.currentSurvey
},
selectedChoice: {
get() {
const question = this.survey.questions[this.currentQuestion]
return question.choice
},
set(value) {
const question = this.survey.questions[this.currentQuestion]
this.$store.commit('setChoice', { questionId: question.id, choice: value })
}
}
}
When a radio button in the survey questions is chosen, selectedChoice will change the state in the store. However surveyComplete method was not called simultaneously. What's the problem? Thanks in advance!
surveyComplete() method does not 'spy' your store, it will be updated, when you change this.survey.questions only. So if you modify the store, nothing will happen inside surveyComplete. You may use the store inside the method.

Lists and Components not updating after data change - (VueJS + VueX)

A question about best practice (or even a go-to practice)
I have a list (ex. To-do list). My actual approach is:
On my parent component, I populate my 'store.todos' array. Using a
getter, I get all the To-do's and iterate on a list using a v-for
loop.
Every item is a Component, and I send the to-do item as a prop.
Inside this component, I have logic to update the "done" flag. And this element display a checkbox based on the "state" of the flag. When it does that, it do an action to the db and updates the store state.
Should I instead:
Have each list-item to have a getter, and only send the ID down the child-component?
Everything works fine, but if I add a new item to the to-do list, this item is not updated when I mark it as completed. I wonder if this issue is because I use a prop and not a getter inside the child component
Code:
store:
const state = {
tasks: []
}
const mutations = {
CLEAR_TASKS (state) {
state.tasks = [];
},
SET_TASKS (state, tasks) {
state.tasks = tasks;
},
ADD_TASK (state, payload) {
// if the payload has an index, it replaces that object, if not, pushes a new task to the array
if(payload.index){
state.currentSpaceTasks[payload.index] = payload.task;
// (1) Without this two lines, the item doesn't update
state.tasks.push('');
state.tasks.pop();
}
else{
state.tasks.push(payload.task);
}
},
SET_TASK_COMPLETION (state, task){
let index = state.tasks.findIndex(obj => obj.id == task.id);
state.tasks[index].completed_at = task.completed_at;
}
}
const getters = {
(...)
getTasks: (state) => (parentId) => {
if (parentId) {
return state.tasks.filter(task => task.parent_id == parentId );
} else {
return state.tasks.filter(task => !task.parent_id );
}
}
(...)
}
const actions = {
(...)
/*
* Add a new Task
* 1st commit add a Temp Task, second updates the first one with real information (Optimistic UI - or a wannabe version of it)
*/
addTask({ commit, state }, task ) {
commit('ADD_TASK',{
task
});
let iNewTask = state.currentSpaceTasks.length - 1;
axios.post('/spaces/'+state.route.params.spaceId+'/tasks',task).then(
response => {
let newTask = response.data;
commit('ADD_TASK',{
task: newTask,
index: iNewTask
});
},
error => {
alert(error.response.data);
});
},
markTaskCompleted({ commit, dispatch, state }, task ){
console.log(task.completed_at);
commit('SET_TASK_COMPLETION', task);
dispatch('updateTask', { id: task.id, field: 'completed', value: task.completed_at } ).then(
response => {
commit('SET_TASK_COMPLETION', response.data);
},
error => {
task.completed_at = !task.completed_at;
commit('SET_TASK_COMPLETION', task);
});
},
updateTask({ commit, state }, data ) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
axios.patch('/spaces/'+state.route.params.spaceId+'/tasks/'+ data.id, data).then(
response => {
resolve(response.data);
},
error => {
reject(error);
});
})
}
}
And basically this is my Parent and Child Components:
Task List component (it loads the tasks from the Getters)
(...)
<task :task = 'item' v-for = "(item, index) in tasks(parentId)" :key = 'item.id"></task>
(...)
The task component display a "checkbox"(using Fontawesome). And changes between checked/unchecked depending on the completed_at being set/true.
This procedure works fine:
Access Task list
Mark one existing item as done - checkbox is checked
This procedure fails
Add a new task (It fires the add task, which firstly adds a 'temporary' item, and after the return of the ajax, updates it with real information (id, etc..). While it doesn't have the id, the task displays a loading instead of the checkbox, and after it updates it shows the checkbox - this works!
Check the newly added task - it does send the request, it updates the item and DB. But checkbox is not updated :(
After digging between Vue.js docs I could fix it.
Vue.js and Vuex does not extend reactivity to properties that were not on the original object.
To add new items in an array for example, you have to do this:
// Vue.set
Vue.set(example1.items, indexOfItem, newValue)
More info here:
https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/reactivity.html
and here: https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/list.html#Caveats
At first it only solved part of the issue. I do not need the "hack" used after pushing an item into the array (push and pop an empty object to force the list to reload)
But having this in mind now, I checked the object returned by the server, and although on the getTasks, the list has all the fields, including the completed_at, after saving a new item, it was only returning the fields that were set (completed_at is null when created). That means that Vue.js was not tracking this property.
I added the property to be returned by the server side (Laravel, btw), and now everything works fine!
If anybody has a point about my code other than this, feel free to add :)
Thanks guys

Watch all properties of a reactive data in Vue.js

I had an API call to the backend and based on the returned data, I set the reactive data dynamically:
let data = {
quantity: [],
tickets: []
}
api.default.fetch()
.then(function (tickets) {
data.tickets = tickets
tickets.forEach(ticket => {
data.quantity[ticket.id] = 0
})
})
Based on this flow, how can I set watcher for all reactive elements in quantity array dynamically as well?
You can create a computed property, where you can stringify the quantity array, and then set a watcher on this computed property. Code will look something like following:
computed: {
quantityString: function () {
return JSON.stringify(this.quantity)
}
}
watch: {
// whenever question changes, this function will run
quantityString: function (newQuantity) {
var newQuantity = JSON.parse(newQuantity)
//Your relevant code
}
}
Using the [] operator to change a value in an array won't let vue detect the change, use splice instead.
