Re-using same grid datatables.net - twitter-bootstrap-3

I have a bootstrapped template with datatables.net, I'd like to use the same datatables grid (same functionality/data) within the page, and a modal popup that gets fired from within the same page somewhere.
How would I be able to duplicate the exact same grid without duplicating my code?

Vuetify dialog adds new dialog to dom each time it is opened and exon't remove the previous on close

We have a large scale application but in Vue 2, Composition API and Nuxt.
However we load a lot of content in dialogs. After using the application for several minutes you can see a build up of these dialogs in the DOM.
Is there a way for Vuetify to use the existing dialog one instead of creating a new instance.
Or remove the existing one on close?
I can't see anything in the docs or similar issues from other users.
Each v-dialog with a v-model will be added to the DOM first time it's active/opened, then the visibility is changed on subsequent toggles. It's more "expensive" to add and remove DOM elements (size depending on its nested content) than toggle an active class and add a simple overlay. Probably why it's not recommended to nest v-dialog within a v-for loop, the DOM will get too crowded. If the dialog content is interchangeable, you could have one dialog on the page where the content is toggled too.

Get Dijit from Parent HTML from embedded iframe

I have a dashboard built using dojo dijits. One of the dijit is dojo calendar widget.
In this dashboard I am embedding an iframe to it. I want to change the value of the calendar widget from within the iframe.
The issue is since it is not just about changing the text value in the input box of calendar dijit it is also about calling the on change event. So I am using the following
dijit.byId('dijit_form_DateTextBox_1').set('value', datFrom);
This way the value gets updated as well as the change event is fired.
Now since I want to do this from within the iframe I need to get reference to calendar dijit in parent HTML page.
If this is a simple Javascript I would have used following to get to that DOM Element and change the value.
const targetNode = $('#'+divId, window.parent.document)[0];
But since this is dojo so I am unable to get this as a dijit object. Is there a way to get dijit from Parent page
Since the dataTextBox is inside iframe, it's in different scope, and looks like you are not using dojo in AMD pattern.
What you could do is get the object from iFrame's contentWidow and call byID() like any other function, example
var _dijit = document.getElementById("iframeId").contentWindow.dijit;
var dateTextBox = _dijit.byId('dijit_form_DateTextBox_1');
dateTextBox.set('value', datFrom);
or better is, you just call a global reference your own function rather than taking reference of dijit.

Clear mounted html in vue.js

I have 2 components. I have some checkboxes in first component.It resides in left side of the Web Page like Nav bar. In second component I would like to load some HTML Div element on the basis of those checkbox. Now I can load the divs while clicking on those checkboxes using below code.
mounted () {
EventBus.$on('change',this.formated);
},
But when I am clicking on a new checkboxes the loaded divs of previous checkboxes will not disappear. I can see both output of current and previous checkboxes as like output of .append() of jQuery.
How can I clear/disappear previous HTML outputs ?
You need use jQuery's clear() on the elements innerHTML which you're appending too. A better approach would be to instead of appending content, use a v-for directive and maintain an array in the data property with the content you want visible. That would be leveraging vue's reactivity for its intended purposes and offer a more flexible implementation.

xpages tab container partial refresh

I make a partialRefresh on a tab container with 4 tabs:
<xp:eventHandler event="onchange" submit="true"
refreshMode="partial" refreshId="djContentPane1">
<xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:viewScope.put("hideRelatedDocuments", true);}]]></xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
The viewScope is then used to some fields which I want to hide/show. Those fields lay on the tab container.
And after this, the tab container looks strange:
What might be the problem? Thanks for your time.
I tried adding a mainPanel, and on this panel I added the TabContainer. Then, I updated the panel but sttill, no work. The result:
You can refresh the fields to show/hide them depending on current value in combobox field if you
put the fields into panels which have an id and always gets rendered
place the panels into the Tab Panels
refresh all panels on onchange event of your combobox with XSP.partialRefreshPosts
Look for the sample code here.
It's because you're refreshing the content pane. I've not pinned down the cause, but refresh either an area outside the Dojo Tab Container or a panel/div that's inside the Tab Container Pane you want to refresh.
I suspect it's something to do with Dojo then processing the response HTML. As a client-side framework, I don't think Dojo is really designed to handle replacing HTML by injection into an existing page.

Make button text A/B testable - Sitecore MVC

I have an MVC/angularJS page with a button, the button needs to call code to process the current page and proceed to the next step in the application, but they want the button text to be a/b testable with different variations. I'm new to Sitecore so am struggling to know the best way of doing things.
I thought of having a simple text component/template which just has a single line text property, but if I add that to the page template then it doesn't seem a/b testable because when you click on the test option it asks you to select content. Whereas the content was text they entered as part of the page template.
The only way I know of making a/b testable content so that they can click on the page in page editor and choose to select content / add test variation. I wouldn't add the button to the placeholder as it needs to call specific angular code and always be there, but should I be adding a placeholder where the text is? It seems like overkill to have to define a placeholder there, define a rendering, create a partial view, define placeholder settings to limit it to the simple text component, and then hope they don't try adding multiple items to the placeholder.
I would make a separate template (ie with the text field for your button) to represent your form, then either create the two test variation items as children of your page, or maybe place them in a shared components folder outside of your 'home' node.
EDIT
In order to move your form component into a new A/B testable component you would need to create a new Sublayout in Sitecore, then create a new ascx control for the sublayout. In the Page_Load handler of this control, you would use the following code to retrieve the datasource of the sublayout:
//assume you have a button on your usercontrol called btnSubmit
//assume your template has a single-line text field called 'SubmitButtonText'
Guid dataSourceId;
Sitecore.Data.Items.Item dataSource;
if (Guid.TryParse(sublayout.DataSource, out dataSourceId))
{
dataSource = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(new ID(dataSourceId));
btnSubmit.Text = dataSource["SubmitButtonText"];
}
So I created a new template which just had a single line of text as a field, and added a content item in a shared data node.
In my partial view:
#model Digital.Models.SimpleTextItem
<button ....>
<span class="hidden-xs">#Model.SimpleText_Value<br></span>
</button>
In my main page - I was trying to statically bind it so that they could only change content rather than add new controls to the placeholder, but that only worked if I specified the datasource in this page.
Using a rendering, and in the page layout adding the rendering to the placeholder with a specified data source:
#Html.Sitecore().Placeholder("PremiumQuoteApplyNowPlaceHolder")
Not sure if it was the best approach but it achieves what I need it to.
A/B testing could be applied only to controls(XSLT renderings, sublayouts, action controller renderings, view renderings). If you want to make A/B testing only for button then you should create additional control for it as you did.
Technical details for MVC: A/B testing is applied on mvc.customizeRendering pipeline where rendering arguments are processed. This pipeline operates on renderings level. It means that you are not able to create A/B testing for particular field(button) without your own customization.
