Virtual "name" field? - keystonejs

Question

I need to have the name field of a model be virtual, created by concatenating two real fields together. This name is just for display only. I've tried the virtual examples in the doc, no luck. Keystone 4 beta5.
var keystone = require('keystone')
_ = require('underscore');
var Types = keystone.Field.Types;
/**
* Foo Model
* ==================
*/
var Foo = new keystone.List('Foo', {
map: {name: 'fooname'},
track: true
});
Foo.add({
bar: { type: Types.Relationship, required: true, initial: true, label: 'Barref', ref: 'Bar', many: false },
order: { type: Types.Select, required: true, initial: true, label: 'Order', options: _.range(1,100) },
price: { type: Types.Money, format: '$0,0.00', label: 'Price', required: true, initial: true },
});
Foo.schema.virtual('fooname').get(function() {
return this.bar+ ' ' + this.order;
});
Foo.defaultColumns = 'fooname, bar, order, price';
Foo.register();
When I use this model definition, I don't see the virtual name in the defaultcolumns list. I want to make a virtual name so lookups are easier when this model is used as a relationship.

Answer 1

You don't need a virtual to do this. Keystone allows you to track and recalculate a field every time the document is saved. You can enable those options in order to create a function which concatenates these two values for you (either synchronously or asynchronously, your choice.)
One other thing I noticed is that bar is a Relationship, which means you will need to populate that relationship prior to getting any useful information out of it. That also means your value function will have to be asynchronous, which is as simple as passing a callback function as an argument to that function. Keystone does the rest. If you don't need any information from this bar, and you only need the _id (which the model always has), you can do without the keystone.list('Bar') function that I included.
http://keystonejs.com/docs/database/#fields-watching
The map object also refers to an option on your model, so you'll need a fooname attribute on your model in any scenario, though it gets calculated dynamically.
var keystone = require('keystone'),
_ = require('underscore');
var Types = keystone.Field.Types;
/**
* Foo Model
* ==================
*/
var Foo = new keystone.List('Foo', {
map: {name: 'fooname'},
track: true
});
Foo.add({
fooname: { type: Types.Text, watch: true, value: function (cb) {
// Use this if the "bar" that this document refers to has some information that is relevant to the naming of this document.
keystone.list('Bar').model.findOne({_id: this.bar.toString()}).exec(function (err, result) {
if (!err && result) {
// Result now has all the information of the current "bar"
// If you just need the _id of the "bar", and don't need any information from it, uncomment the code underneath the closure of the "keystone.list('Bar')" function.
return cb(this.bar.name + " " + this.order);
}
});
// Use this if you don't need anything out of the "bar" that this document refers to, just its _id.
// return cb(this.bar.toString() + " " + this.order);
} },
bar: { type: Types.Relationship, required: true, initial: true, label: 'Barref', ref: 'Bar', many: false },
order: { type: Types.Select, required: true, initial: true, label: 'Order', options: _.range(1,100) },
price: { type: Types.Money, format: '$0,0.00', label: 'Price', required: true, initial: true },
});
Foo.defaultColumns = 'fooname, bar, order, price';
Foo.register();

try this:
Foo.schema.pre('save', function (next) {
this.name = this.bar+ ' '+ this.order;
next();
});

Answer 3

Could you provide more information? What is currently working? How should it work?
Sample Code?
EDIT:
After creating the model Foo, you can access the Mongoose schema using the attribute Foo.schema. (Keystone Concepts)
This schema provides a pre-hook for all methods, which registered hooks. (Mongoose API Schema#pre)
One of those methods is save, which can be used like this:
Foo.schema.pre('save', function(next){
console.log('pre-save');
next();
});
