How to get data from a global variable on Vuejs? - vuejs2

Simple question, I've read some similar questions but non of them help me to solve this.so basically I'm using a Flatpickr component
what I need is to update a variable everytime that the component is triggered,
hopefully that component has an onchange method
main.js
data() {
return {
VehicleID: '',
Id: '',
Postcode: 'E1',
StartDate: '',
ReturnDate: '',
StartDateConfig: {
enableTime: true,
dateFormat: "d M Y H:i",
defaultDate: (new Date()).setDate(new Date().getDate() + 7),
minDate: (new Date()).setDate(new Date().getDate() + 2),
onChange: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) {
UpdateDetails(Id,'from', dateStr); // need to pass the id
},
}
}
}
.....
function UpdateDetails(Id, type, value) {
}
I need to send the id or either the object to get the id on my UpdateDetails method

Vuejs track input field

I need to check whether my input field is empty or not.
Logic
if form.name has value, use increase function
if form.name is empty, use decrease function
do not use increase, decrease functions on each character that user inputs or removes
Code
<el-form-item label="Product name *">
<el-input v-model="form.name"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
methods: {
increase() {
this.percentage += 8.3;
if (this.percentage > 100) {
this.percentage = 100;
}
},
decrease() {
this.percentage -= 8.3;
if (this.percentage < 0) {
this.percentage = 0;
}
},
}
any idea?
Update
Script
data() {
return {
form: {
name: '', // require
slug: '',
price: '', // require
supplier_id: '', // require
new_price: '',
base_price: '',
sku: '',
qty: 1, // require
active: '', // require
photo: '',
photos: [],
shortDesc: '',
longDesc: '',
origin: '',
tags: [],
brand_id: '', // require
categories: [],

},
}
},
methods: {
onSubmit(e) {
e.preventDefault();
axios.post('/api/admin/products/store', this.form)
.then(res => {
// do my things
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log('error', error);
});
},
}
HTML
<el-form ref="form" :model="form" label-width="120px" enctype="multipart/form-data">
// my inputs (listed in form part in script above)
<el-button type="primary" #click="onSubmit" native-type="submit">Create</el-button>
</el-form>
One possible solution would be to use #focus and #blur events to check if form.name has a value before increasing or decreasing, this would be fired on focus or on blur events, so you will not have the methods fired on each character input or deletion.
for example:
<el-form-item label="Product name *">
<el-input #focus="checkName" #blur="checkName" v-model="form.name"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
methods: {
checkName() {
//If form.name has a value then run increase method, otherwise run decrease method
!!this.form.name ? this.increase() : this.decrease()
},
increase() {
this.percentage += 8.3;
if (this.percentage > 100) {
this.percentage = 100;
}
},
decrease() {
this.percentage -= 8.3;
if (this.percentage < 0) {
this.percentage = 0;
}
},
}
You can see a working fiddle HERE
UPDATE
Alright so i did follow the rules you state on your question, and i didn't know you wanted to get the percentage of completion of the form, so in order to do that, i would suggest to use a computed property, you can read more about computed properties in the VueJS Documentation, this way the percentage is calculated based on the criteria we can give it, and only if the form has values.
computed: {
formProgress: function () {
let totalInputs = Object.keys(this.form).length;
let filledInputs = 0;
Object.values(this.form).forEach(val => {
if (!!val){
filledInputs++;
}
});
return (filledInputs/totalInputs)*100
}
},
As you can see in one single computed property you can handle the complex logic and return the value reactively, to explain it better, i'm counting the lenght of the form object, to get total number of inputs in your form, so it's important to have all your form data inside the form data object, then i convert that object to an array to iterate it, and i check if each property has a value on it, if does it, i add 1 to the filledInputs counter, and finally just return a simple math to get the percentage. please check the new Fiddle here to see it in action:
FORM PROGRESS FIDDLE
If you have any other doubt just let me know.
UPDATE 2:
All right in order to only count for specific inputs for the form progress, i have modified the code to work based on an array that contains the names of the properties that are required. here is the full code:
data() {
return {
form: {
name: '',
lastName: null,
categories: [{}],
},
requiredFields: ['name', 'categories']
};
},
computed: {
formProgress: function () {
let totalInputs = this.requiredFields.length;
let filledInputs = 0;
Object.entries(this.form).forEach(entry => {
const [key, val] = entry;
if (this.requiredFields.includes(key)){
switch (val.constructor.name) {
case "Array":
if (val.length !== 0){
if (Object.keys(val[0]).length !== 0){
filledInputs++;
}
}
break
case "Object":
if (Object.keys(val).length !== 0){
filledInputs++;
}
break
default:
if (!!val){
filledInputs++;
}
}
}
});
return Number((filledInputs/totalInputs)*100).toFixed(1)
}
},
And here is the updated FIDDLE
As you can see now i'm using Object.entries to get the key and value of the form object, so you can have a single form object to send to your backend, this way i'm checking first if the key is in the required fields, and if has a value, so all you need to do is update the requiredFields data array with the same names as your inputs data property to make the validation work, also there is a validation depending if is array, array of objects, or object, that way it will validate input on each data type.
Hope this works for you.

Vue.js computed value returning undefined

I have been having trouble figuring out what I am doing wrong with this code.
name: 'StatementInfo',
data() {
return {
currentStatement: {
client: '',
clientEmail: '',
date: '',
hours: '',
hourlyRate: '',
total: this.calcTotal
}
}
},
computed: {
calcTotal () {
return parseInt(this.hours) * parseInt(this.hourlyRate)
}
},
methods: {
saveForm () {
console.log(this.currentStatement)
this.$emit('save-form', this.currentStatement)
},
}
Console logging this.currentStatement causes total to be undefined, but from a junior devs perspective, I would have imagined this to work. Can any more experienced people take a gander at this and tell me what it could be?
That's not how reactivity works in relation to computed methods.
The content of data is evaluated once and at that point this.calcTotal is undefined. That value will remain like that until you update it.
You should directly use your computed method when you need it.
So use calcTotal instead of total.
Try to assign default values to this.hours and this.hourlyRate = 0,
maybe when you execute saveForm(), that variables are null or undefined

Highcharts-vue - Calling my own tooltip label formatter function

I have been trying to call my own function for formatting the x and y axis values in a tooltip in Highcharts vue.
Consider the following;
data() {
return {
currencySymbol: "$",
};
},
computed: {
chartOptions() {
var symbol = this.currencySymbol;
return {
chart: {
type: "spline"
},
title: {
text: "Sin chart"
},
yAxis: {
gridLineDashStyle: "Dot",
labels: {
style: {
color: "#000"
},
formatter: label => {
return (
symbol + Highcharts.Axis.prototype.defaultLabelFormatter.call(label)
);
}
}
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', this.x) + '<br/>' +
this.formatNumber(this.y, this.fractionalDigits, this.locale, this.currencySymbol);
}
},
series: [
{
data: [10, 0, 8, 2, 6, 4, 5, 5],
color: "#6fcd98"
}
]
};
}
}
The labels work fine but the tooltip function call will not work. I have tried putting my formatNumber() function in both methods() and outside of any of the Vue hooks. Neither work.
Note that fractionDigits, locale and currencySymbol have been resolved at this point.
Wondering if someone can advise on the correct approach?
Also note that the formatter works when I remove the call to my formatNumber() function. It's lack of scope appears to be where the problem lies.
If I should assume that this.formatNumber, this.fractionDigits, this.locale, and this.currencySymbol would be references to a component's internal data, then the problem would occurs because of this context within tooltip's formatter function, which does not actually indicate on the component, but on the object on which the formatter was called, namely the TooltipFormatterContextObject.
In order to fix it, you can save appropriate context in the beginning of the chartOptions computed property function, and just refer it when calling component functions. Please take a look on the example below, where I've put the 'template' function named like yours, and presented how it could be implemented.
Live example: https://codesandbox.io/s/highcharts-vue-demo-wqwzu
Kind regards!
Not sure if it's the most elegant but I found a solution to this problem for myself.
I created a utility js file called helper.js, added my exported function (I'll need it in other places anyway) and put it in a directory called utils.
The contents are as follows;
export function formatNumber(number, maxFractionDigits, locale, currencySymbol) {
// function logic here
}
Then I imported same into my component and simply called the method as follows;
import {formatNumber} from "../../utils/helper";
export default {
data() {
return {
currencySymbol: "$",
};
},
computed: {
chartOptions() {
var symbol = this.currencySymbol;
return {
chart: {
type: "spline"
},
title: {
text: "Sin chart"
},
...
tooltip: {
formatter: function () {
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', this.x) + '<br/>' +
formatNumber(this.y, this.fractionalDigits, this.locale, this.currencySymbol);
}
},
series: [
{
data: [10, 0, 8, 2, 6, 4, 5, 5],
color: "#6fcd98"
}
]
};
}
}
}

Getting documents with ID from firstore collection

While using Firestore, vuefire, vue-tables-2, I stuck getting document's id.
My data structure is as below.
Here is my code.
<v-client-table :columns="columns" :data="devices" :options="options" :theme="theme" id="dataTable">
import { ClientTable, Event } from 'vue-tables-2'
import { firebase, db } from '../../firebase-configured'
export default {
name: 'Devices',
components: {
ClientTable,
Event
},
data: function() {
return {
devices: [],
columns: ['model', 'id', 'scanTime', 'isStolen'],
options: {
headings: {
model: 'Model',
id: 'Serial No',
scanTime: 'Scan Time',
isStolen: 'Stolen YN'
},
templates: {
id: function(h, row, index) {
return index + ':' + row.id // <<- row.id is undefined
},
isStolen: (h, row, index) => {
return row.isStolen ? 'Y': ''
}
},
pagination: {
chunk: 5,
edge: false,
nav: 'scroll'
}
},
useVuex: false,
theme: 'bootstrap4',
template: 'default'
}
},
firestore: {
devices: db.collection('devices')
},
};
My expectation is devices should id property as vuefire docs.
But array this.devices didn't have id field even if I check it exist it console.
Basically, every document already has id attribute, but it's non-enumerable
Any document bound by Vuexfire will retain it's id in the database as
a non-enumerable, read-only property. This makes it easier to write
changes and allows you to only copy the data using the spread operator
or Object.assign.
You can access id directly using device.id. But when passing to vue-tables-2、devices is copied and lost id non-enumerable attribute.
I think you can workaround using computed property
computed: {
devicesWithId() {
if (!this.devices) {
return []
}
return this.devices.map(device => {
...device,
id: device.id
})
}
}
Then, please try using devicesWithId in vue-tables-2 instead.

Binding an object from checkboxes

I need to bind an object from checkboxes, and in this example, a checkbox is its own component:
<input type="checkbox" :value="option.id" v-model="computedChecked">
Here's my data and computed:
data() {
return {
id: 1,
title: 'test title',
checked: {
'users': {
},
},
}
},
computed: {
computedChecked: {
get () {
return this.checked['users'][what here ??];
},
set (value) {
this.checked['users'][value] = {
'id': this.id,
'title': this.title,
}
}
},
....
The above example is a little rough, but it should show you the idea of what I am trying to achieve:
Check checkbox, assign an object to its binding.
Uncheck and binding is gone.
I can't seem to get the binding to worth though.
I assume you want computedChecked to act like an Array, because if it is a Boolean set, it will receive true / false on check / uncheck of the checkbox, and it should be easy to handle the change.
When v-model of a checkbox input is an array, Vue.js expects the array values to stay in sync with the checked status, and on check / uncheck it will assign a fresh array copy of the current checked values, iff:
The current model array contains the target value, and it's unchecked in the event
The current model array does not contain the target value, and it's checked in the event
So in order for your example to work, you need to set up your setter so that every time the check status changes, we can get the latest state from the getter.
Here's a reference implementation:
export default {
name: 'CheckBoxExample',
data () {
return {
id: 1,
title: 'test title',
checked: {
users: {}
}
}
},
computed: {
computedChecked: {
get () {
return Object.getOwnPropertyNames(this.checked.users).filter(p => !/^__/.test(p))
},
set (value) {
let current = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(this.checked.users).filter(p => !/^__/.test(p))
// calculate the difference
let toAdd = []
let toRemove = []
for (let name of value) {
if (current.indexOf(name) < 0) {
toAdd.push(name)
}
}
for (let name of current) {
if (value.indexOf(name) < 0) {
toRemove.push(name)
}
}
for (let name of toRemove) {
var obj = Object.assign({}, this.checked.users)
delete obj[name]
// we need to update users otherwise the getter won't react on the change
this.checked.users = obj
}
for (let name of toAdd) {
// update the users so that getter will react on the change
this.checked.users = Object.assign({}, this.checked.users, {
[name]: {
'id': this.id,
'title': this.title
}
})
}
console.log('current', current, 'value', value, 'add', toAdd, 'remove', toRemove, 'model', this.checked.users)
}
}
}
}
