polymer dom-if does not re check the condition - polymer-2.x

I have a simple dom-if in a template:
<div>
<template is="dom-if" if="{{checkListEmpty()}}" restamp>
<paper-button raised class="init" on-tap="initialize">Initialize</paper-button>
</template>
</div>
and a function to show or hide.
checkListEmpty() {
return this.todos.length == 0;
}
It works for the first time only. If the this.todos.length becomes 1 then the template does not goes away. How can i hide when the condition is false.

There is no binding working for your function because there is no property to bind.
To make it work you should add a property in parameter : checkListEmpty(foo).
Like that, everytime the property foo change the function will be executed.
However an array as property won't work if the content of this one changed (content pushed) except if this is the global array property that is replaced :
var bar = [], foo = ["ggg"];
bar = foo;
In that case the function will be called, but it's not great.
Anyway for your question you can use an hidden property for the paper-button or bind the DOM-IF with the table length.
<template is="dom-if" if="[[!bar.length]]" restamp>
<paper-button raised on-tap="addBar">Initialize</paper-button>
</template>
or
<paper-button raised on-tap="addBar" hidden="[[bar.length]]">Initialize</paper-button>
And then everytime a property is added into the array or removed until there is nothing in it your button will be displayed or not.
You can see a working jsfiddle (use chrome though and be patient for the initialization.. comment here if it's not working)

Vuetify text-field won´t use computed property

I would like a clearable v-text-field with a label to show a computed string property based on other another property (a boolean in this simplified example).
Initially it works, the correct default string value is shown.
If I invert the boolean with a button from outside the v-text-field component, the next correct string value is shown as expected.
But if I use the clear button in the v-text-field to invert the boolean, the v-text-field clears and uses the label in the input field when focus is lost, and therefore not using the expected string value.
Input:
<v-text-field :value="text" label="Just a label" clearable #click:clear="booleanModel = true;"></v-text-field>
Computed property:
text: function() {
if(this.booleanModel) {
return 'Its on'
} else {
return 'Default text';
}
}
As far as I can see via vue dev tools, the state in the v-text-field is the same either way.
How come, and how to avoid this?
Please refer to this example: https://codepen.io/fasterlars/pen/RwKrzXZ?editors=1010
To be honest your use-case seems very strange but...
The problem is that v-text-box has some internal state (according to source code comments to make it work without the model) and on clear icon click it sets it to null but it does this in the nextTick - source. This is little bit strange but they probably has some reasons to do so...
So if you don't want to really clear the content but instead set it to something else, do not use default "clearable" functionality and use append slot instead:
<v-text-field :value="text" label="Just a label">
<template v-slot:append>
<v-icon #click="booleanModel = true">clear</v-icon>
</template>
</v-text-field>
When you click on the clear button, the value of booleanModel does not change.
You need to update the #click:clear = "booleanModel = false;".
Also, add a :key="booleanModel in your text field, which will ensure that whenever the value of booleanModel changes it will re-render the v-text-field component again.

Set v-checkbox programmatically using Vue and Vuetify

I'm building a list of v-checkboxes using this code
<div class="row form-group" v-for="(author, key) in authorData" :key="key">
<v-layout row wrap>
<v-flex xs1 sm1 md1 text-xs-center>
<div>
<v-checkbox
label
:key="author.PmPubsAuthorID"
v-model="authorData[key].checked"
v-bind:id="author.PmPubsAuthorID.toString()"
color="success"
#change="authorCBClicked(authorData[key])"
></v-checkbox>
</div>
The PmPubsAuthorID is a number like 1047602 and is a sequential number in the entire database, no 2 records are the same. When I run the code to build the list it works fine and shows a checkbox if the value is true. What I am trying to do is when a checkbox is checked in the
authorCBClicked(author) {
//PmPubsAuthorID = 1047602
// alert(author.PmPubsAuthorID + " " );
// author.checked = false; does not work
this.authorData[author.PmPubsAuthorID].checked = false; does not work
this.authorData["1047602"].checked = false; does not work
this.authorData[1047602].checked = false; does not work
this.authorData[2].checked = false; does work
},
As you can see I have tried various ideas and the only one that seems to work is passing in an ordinal but I have no way of knowing that. Do I need to use an index when building the checkboxes?
The reason: I have a checkbox then when checked calls a dialog box that asks " Are you sure you want to "Add this item to the list" if they say yes I want the original checkbox to be checked but if they say no then the original checkbox needs to be false. I have found that if I try to set the checked status of the calling checkbox to false it does not work but works fine once outside that method. I have passed the key and author information to the new dialog and let it change the checkbox to false if needed
Thanks for the help.
Just pass the key instead of the whole item to your method :
#change="authorCBClicked(key)"
and on your method :
authorCBClicked(key) {
this.authorData[key].checked = !this.authorData[key].checked;
}
Or :
you can do it directly on the template :
#change="author.checked = !author.checked"

Selecting specific element in vue 2 inside v-for loop

Please see the code
<div v-for="msg in leftMsg">
div v-if="msg.last_sender" #click.prevent="loadMsg(msg)">
<tr :class="['active',{ 'seens' : !msg.seen, 'selected':msg.isActive}]">
// some html
</tr>
</div>
</div>
loadMsg(obj){
obj.isActive = !obj.isActive;
}
The problem is, it is adding selected class properly but when I click another item it adds selected but doesn't remove the old one. How can I keep only the most recent clicked item selected?
Thank you.
Add a data property outside of the msg objects and use that to track the active message.
data(){
return {
activeMessage: null,
...
}
}
Then in your template, set the activeMessage.
<div v-for="msg in leftMsg">
<div v-if="msg.last_sender" #click.prevent="activeMessage = msg">
<tr :class="['active',{ 'seens' : !msg.seen, 'selected': msg === activeMessage}]">
// some html
</tr>
</div>
</div>
The key parts I changed here are #click.prevent="activeMessage = msg" and 'selected': msg === activeMessage. This will set activeMessage to the clicked message, and then the selected class will be applied to the activeMessage and will only apply to the activeMessage.
I would also note that it's strange that you have a tr element nested inside div. I assume it was just because of your example, but that's not technically valid HTML.
I have solved this issue using a for loop. I thought it may help some other.
In order to remove the all other previous active classes all you need to run a for loop and make them false and then assign active=true to the newest one.
Here is the code that may help
// make all other selected class false first
for(let i=0; i<this.leftMsg.length; i++){
this.leftMsg[i].isActive=false;
}
/*now making the newest one active*/
obj.isActive = true;

access local variable within *ngIf

I have a primeng (angular 2) dialog with a dropdown. I want to set focus to the dropdown when the dialog shows. The problem appears to be that my div is rendered conditionally.
My code:
<p-dialog (onShow)="fe.applyFocus()">
<div *ngIf="selectedItem">
<button pButton type="button" (click)="fe.applyFocus()" label="Focus"></button>
<p-dropdown #fe id="reason" [options]="reasonSelects" [(ngModel)]="selectedReason" ></p-dropdown>
</div>
</p-dialog>
In this code the button works fine, but the onShow() (outside the *ngIf div) tells me fe is undefined.
How can I access the local variable inside the *ngIf?
Yes, this is a real pain. Unfortunately, due to the way *ngIf works, it completely encapsulates everything inside (including the tag it's on).
This means anything declared on, or inside, the tag with the ngIf will not be "visible" outside of the ngIf.
And you can't even simply put a #ViewChild in the ts, because on first run it might not be present... So there are 2 known solutions to this problem...
a) You can use #ViewChildren. This will give you a QueryList that you can subscribe to, which will fire off every time the tempalte variable changes (ie. the ngIf turns on or off).
(html template)
<div>{{thing.stuff}}</div>
<my-component #thing></my-component>
(ts code)
#ViewChildren('thing') thingQ: QueryList<MyComponent>;
thing: MyComponent;
ngAfterViewInit() {
this.doChanges();
this.thingQ.changes.subscribe(() => { this.doChanges(); });
}
doChanges() {
this.thing = this.thingQ.first;
}
b) You can use #ViewChild with a setter. This will fire the setter every time the ngIf changes.
(html template)
<div>{{thing.stuff}}</div>
<my-component #thing></my-component>
(ts code)
#ViewChild('thing') set SetThing(e: MyComponent) {
this.thing = e;
}
thing: MyComponent;
Both of these examples should give you a "thing" variable you can now use in your template, outside of the ngIf. You may want to give the ts variable a different name to the template (#) variable, in case there are clashes.
You can separate the use of template on NgIf level:
<ng-container *ngIf="selectedItem; else elseTemplate">
<p-dialog (onShow)="fe.applyFocus()">
<div>
<button pButton type="button" (click)="fe.applyFocus()" label="Focus"></button>
<p-dropdown #fe id="reason" [options]="reasonSelects" [(ngModel)]="selectedReason"></p-dropdown>
</div>
</p-dialog>
</ng-container>
<ng-template #elseTemplate>
<p-dialog>
</p-dialog>
</ng-template>

vue.js - Change text based on default/clicked class

Given the following:
<div id="#my-container">
<div class="title">Companies</div>
<div class="tab active tab-apple">Apple</div>
<div class="tab tab-google">Google</div>
</div>
When page is loaded without any tab clicks yet, whichever tab with the default active class, needs to go in the .title div. For the example above, <div class="title">Apple</div>
On click of a tab, the class is switched to active, and vue.js needs to update the .title div once again.
How can this be done with vue.js? I've tried but not able to get it to work as intended.
The answer by David is one way to do it. But Vuejs offers in-line computations for this. So, no need to hook into any CSS event. Here's some code to explain:
Create a data property active_tab, just like David mentioned. And then bind it's value just like he's done it. In your tabs, add an click event and at that event, assign appropriate value to active_tab.
<div class="tab active tab-apple" #click="active_tab = Apple">Apple</div>
<div class="tab tab-google" #click="active_tab = Google">Google</div>
Now, to dynamically assign the active class to the respective tab, make the class attribute, a computed property, like this:
<div
:class="['tab', active_tab == 'Apple' ? 'active' : '', 'tab-apple']"
>
Apple
</div>
What this code is basically doing is, :class makes class a computed property. Then the commas in the array divide the statement. So, the computation will always add tab and tab-apple classes. But, only if active_tab == 'Apple' then ? add 'active' else : add ''
Not sure which CSS framework you are using, but normally I hook into the events thrown by the tab switching (many CSS frameworks provide this access). Once hooked into it, you can write a Vue custom directive that will take that event and use it to update a VM attribute that indicates which tab is active.
Then you can use normal mustache templating to get it into your template:
<div class="title">{{ active_tab }}</div>
