Rally: Limit results coming back in AttributeDropdown - rally

I am working on an app that uses the AttributeDropdown component of the App SDK. The dropdown has over 1,000 items in it which is making it very difficult to use. Is there a way to limit the results coming back in the dropdown?
//Create dropdowns
var jiraDropdownConfig = {
type: "Story",
attribute: "c_JiraIds",
showLabel: true,
label: "Jira Release: ",
width: 350
};
jiraDropdown = new rally.sdk.ui.AttributeDropdown(jiraDropdownConfig, rallyDataSource);

Unfortunately the AttributeDropdown in SDK1 uses a primitive endpoint to populate the allowed values that does not support paging. Can you by any chance use the FieldValueComboBox in SDK2? The SDK2 combobox is paged and supports type ahead searching.

OpenUI5 sap.m.Input Currency Formatting

This looks to be answered many different times but I can't seem to get it working with my implementation. I am trying to format and limit the data in a sap.m.Input element. I currently have the following:
var ef_Amount = new sap.m.Input({
label: 'Amount',
textAlign: sap.ui.core.TextAlign.Right,
value: {
path: '/amount',
type: 'sap.ui.model.type.Currency'
}
});
The first problem is that it kind of breaks the data binding. When I inspect the raw data (with Fiddler) submitted to the server it is an array like this:
"amount": [1234.25,null]
The server is expecting a single number and as such has issues with the array.
When I use the following, the binding works as desired but no formatting is performed.
var ef_Amount = new sap.m.Input({
label: 'Amount',
textAlign: sap.ui.core.TextAlign.Right,
value: '{/amount}'
});
The second problem is that the data entered is not limited to numbers.
I have tried using sap.m.MaskedInput instead but I don't like the usage of the placeholders because I never know the size of the number to be entered.
And lastly, it would be nice if when focus is placed on the input field, that all formatting is removed and re-formatted again when focus lost.
Should I be looking into doing this with jQuery or even raw Javascript instead?
Thank you for looking.
the array output is a normal one according to documentation. So you need to teach your server to acccept this format or preprocess data before submission;
this type is not intended to limit your data input;
good feature, but ui5 does not support this, because the Type object has no idea about control and it's events like "focus" it only deals with data input-output. So you have to implement this functionality on your own via extending the control or something else.
I would suggest using amount and currency separately. It's likely that user should be allowed to enter only valid currency, so you can use a combobox with the suggestions of the available currencies.
So, after much work and assistance from #Andrii, I managed to get it working. The primary issue was that onfocusout broke the updating of the model and the change event from firing. Simply replacing onfocusout with onsapfocusleave took care of the issues.
The final code in the init method of my custom control:
var me = this;
var numberFormat = sap.ui.core.NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance({maxFractionDigits: 2});
me.addEventDelegate({
onAfterRendering: function() {
// for formatting the figures initially when loaded from the model
me.bindValue({
path: me.getBindingPath('value'),
formatter: function(value) {
return numberFormat.format(value);
}
});
},
onfocusin: function() {
// to remove formatting when the user sets focus to the input field
me.bindValue(me.getBindingPath('value'));
},
onsapfocusleave: function() {
me.bindValue({
path: me.getBindingPath('value'),
formatter: function(value) {
return numberFormat.format(value);
}
});
}
});

dojo1.10 Dynamic update of dijit.form.Select

I was trying to asynchronously update a Select field via Memory and ObjectStore. This doesn't work. Setting the data to the Memory object before creating the Select element works fine. Updating the Memory object after creating the Select element doesn't work anymore.
Example code:
require([
"dojo/ready",
"dijit/form/Select",
"dojo/store/Memory",
"dojo/store/Observable",
"dojo/data/ObjectStore",
'dojo/domReady!'
], function(ready, Select, Memory, Observable, ObjectStore, dom){
ready(function() {
var mymem = new Memory();
var myobs = new Observable(mymem);
var mystore = new ObjectStore({ objectStore: myobs });
/* updating memory here works :) */
//mymem.setData([ { id: 2, label: 'qwertz2' }, { id: 3, label: 'qwertz3' } ]);
var s = new Select({
store: mystore
}, 'appsAdminQueueContainer');
s.startup();
/* updating memory here doesn't work :( */
mymem.setData([ { id: 2, label: 'qwertz2' }, { id: 3, label: 'qwertz3' } ]);
});
}
);
Real working example: https://jsfiddle.net/mirQ/ra0dqb63/5/
Is this a bug or is there a solution to be able to update the content of the Select field after creating it - without having to access the Select field directly?
UPDATE
Thank you for your response.
The use of dojo/ready was just a missed leftover while simplifying my code, sorry.
That the use of the ObjectStore is not necessary was not clear to me. Thanks for clearing up.
Okay, the real problem seems to be indeed the last point. I think I have to extend my description.
Updated/extended problem description:
I'm using a grid. At first I was using dojox/grid/DataGrid, but then I switched to dgrid. Everything works well, but I want to use dijit.form.Select as editor for one column. This works also well if the data is static. But in one column I have to read dynamic data from the server. This data comes in JSON format.
First I tried to solve this with the use of dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore - that worked. But it's deprecated and I need to implement a formatter for that column that has to have access to the same JSON data read from the server. I don't have the code for that solution anymore, but it didn't work. I wasn't able to successfully query the data from within the formatter function.
Then I switched to Memory and xhr. The response from the server comes after the Memory object is created (and, as it seems, after creating the Select), so I had to use setData to bring my loaded data in the store. And because the Select is only an editor of a grid, I don't have access to the object itself to be able to re-set the store after updating the data.
I hope my extended description makes my real problem a bit clearer. Thanks in advance for your help!

This works for me:
require([
'dijit/form/Select',
'dojo/store/Memory',
'dojo/store/Observable',
], function (Select, Memory, Observable) {
var mymem = new Memory({
data: [{
id: 2,
label: 'qwertz2'
}, {
id: 3,
label: 'qwertz3'
}]
});
var myobs = new Observable(mymem);
var s = new Select({
labelAttr: 'label',
store: myobs
}, 'appsAdminQueueContainer');
s.startup();
myobs.add({ id: 4, label: 'qwerty' });
});
Notable changes:
There's no reason to use dojo/ready in this code. The require callback already waits for modules to load, and as long as this script is at the bottom of the body, there's no need to wait for the DOM to load, either.
There's no need to use a dojo/data store adapter. dijit/form/Select supports dojo/store as well (as of 1.8 if I recall correctly). This might also have been why observation wasn't working. The only difference is labelAttr must be specified on the Select since dojo/store has no concept of a label property.
(Edit) now that I re-read the question, I notice you are calling setData. setData does not fire observers. setData completely resets the store's data, and to reflect that, you would need to actually reset the store on the select entirely (which requires calling setStore, not set('store', ...), if you are using 1.9 or earlier, because Select was never updated properly to support the set API until 1.10).
(Edit #2) Given that the primary reason you are calling setData is due to creating the store before actually having data for it, your case would probably be greatly simplified by using the RequestMemory store implementation from dojo-smore. It basically re-adds the url support that dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore had but dojo/store/Memory didn't.

How to make jqGrid dynamically populate options list based on row data

I am using jQrid version 3.8.1 with inline editing and each row in the grid has several dropdown lists to populate. When the user edits the row, I need to do an AJAX query to get the values for each of these lists. I've seen this post regarding how to do that. It appears that the dataUrl and buildSelect features are the standard answer here. There are a few issues I can't figure out though:
The row the user is editing has a value that must be passed into the dataUrl value. For example, say each row contains a field called "SpecialValue" and that for row 1, SpecialValue = 100. The dataUrl field for row 1 would be "http://my.services.com?SpecialValue=100". How do I do that?
Each row in the grid has about 10 select boxes that need to be populated. For efficiency reasons, I don't want to make 10 separate AJAX calls. It would be much better to make one call to get all the data, split it up, and fill each select box accordingly. Is that possible? I tried doing this inside onSelectRow but the grid ended up ignoring the values I put in there (I'm guessing do the ordering of the events that fire when you edit a row).
Edit:
After reading Oleg's answers and working on it more, it's clear to me that using dataUrl and buildSelect are not going to work well for me. The version of jqGrid I'm using doesn't support using dataUrl the way I would need. And even if it did I don't want to send multiple separate requests for each dropdown list.
I've decided to do one request when gridComplete fires to pull all the data needed for all dropdown lists into a single JSON structure. Then when the user selects a row to do inline editing, I will populate each list in the row from that JSON structure (the code below uses the getSelectValuesFromJSON() function for that--I don't give its definition but you can imaging it looks through the structure and gets an appropriate list of values to but in the list box).
I have a few candidate solutions but I'm not 100% happy with either one.
Solution 1:
Inside onSelectRow, I call editRow overriding the on oneditfunc to get the data out of the grid that I need. Assume that the value in Field1 is required to get the values to be put into the list in Field2.
onSelectRow: function (index, status, e) {
jQuery('#my_grid').jqGrid('editRow', index, true, function(rowId) {
var f1Val = $('#my_grid').jqGrid('getCell', index, 'Field1');
var selectVals = getSelectValuesFromJSON(f1Val); //gets data out of previously loaded JSON structure
var select = $('#my_grid').find('tr[id="' + index + '"] td[aria-describedby="my_grid_Field2"] select');
_.each(selectVals, function(selectVal) {
$(select).append($("<option></option>").attr("value", selectVal).text(selectVal));
});
});
}
This works but I'm hesitant about the line
var select = $('#my_grid').find('tr[id="' + index + '"] td[aria-describedby="my_grid_Field2"] select');
which relies on this aria-describedby attribute that I don't know much about. Seems hacky and brittle.
Solution 2:
Make use of beforeSelectRow to dynamically change the model of the Field2 column when the user selects a row.
beforeSelectRow: function(index, e) {
var f1Val = getGridCellValue('#my_grid', index, 'Field1');
var values = getSelectValuesFromJSON(f1Val); //gets data out of previously loaded JSON structure
var valStr = "";
_.each(values, function(value) {
valStr += value + ":" + value + ";"
});
jQuery('#grid_pipes').setColProp('Field2', { editoptions: { value: valStr } });
return true;
}
This also works but I'm not sure about whether or not this is really a good idea. Is it valid to dynamically change the model of a column like that? What if the user has several rows selected at the same time? Isn't there only one model for a column? What would that mean?
To answer some of Oleg's questions, the dataType has been set to a function that uses $.ajax to post data to the server. I think I read that's not the recommended approach anymore. I inherited this code so I'm not sure why it was done that way but it probably won't change unless there is a really compelling reason.
The loadonce boolean is not specified so I guess that means it defaults to false.
Here is an abbreviated version of the column model (nothing terribly out of the ordinary):
colModel: [
{ name: 'PK', index: 'PK', hidden: true, editable: true, sortable: true, search: true },
{ name: 'Field1', index: 'Field1', hidden: true, editable: true, sortable: true, search: true },
{ name: 'Field2', index: 'Field2', sortable: false, editable: true, search: false, edittype: "select", editoptions: {} },
{ name: 'Field3', index: 'Field3', sortable: false, editable: true, search: false, edittype: "select", editoptions: {} },
...
]
You don't wrote which version of jqGrid you use currently, but dataUrl can be defined as callback function with (rowid, value, name) parameters, which have to return the URL which you can build dynamically based on the information. The feature exist starting with v4.5.3 (see the line). You can use getCell, getRowData or getLocalRow inside of the callback to get the data from another columns of the row. Thus you can solve your first problem relatively easy.
You second question seems to me absolutely independent from the first one. It's better to separate such questions in different posts to allow the searching engine better to index the information and so to help other people to find it.
There are no simple way how to solve the second problem, but one can sure suggest a solution, but one have to know much more details what you do and how you do. How you start inline editing (do you use inlineNav, formatter: "actions" or you call editRow directly)? Which version of jqGrid (till version 4.7), free jqGrid or Guriddo jqGrid JS you use? How the columns with selects are defined in colModel? Which datatype you use and whether loadonce: true you use? I recommend you to post separate question with the information.
UPDATE: If you have to use old version of jqGrid then you can't generate dataUrl full dynamically, but because you need to add only SpecialValue=100" part to the URL you can follow the trick which I described in many my old answers (the first one was probably here, but the choice on property names which asked the user could be misunderstood). You can use ajaxSelectOptions.data which will define the data parameters of jQuery.ajax request. The problem only that you can define only one ajaxSelectOptions.data property. So you can add the following jqGrid option:
ajaxSelectOptions: {
data: {
SpecialValue: function () {
var rowid = $myGrid.jqGrid("getGridParam", "selrow");
return $myGrid.jqGrid("getCell", rowid, "SpecialValue");
}
}
}
($myGrid is something like $("#grid"))
UPDATED: You used unknown functions getSelectValuesFromJSON, getLookupValuesFromJSON in the updated part of your question. Both of there seems to use synchronous Ajax request which is not good. Moreover you set editoptions.value for only one Field2 instead of setting all selects.
onSelectRow: function (rowid) {
var $myGrid = $(this);
$.ajax({
url: "someUrl",
dataType: "json";
data: {
specialValue: $myGrid.jqGrid("getCell", rowid, "Field1")
},
success: function (data) {
// for example response data have format:
// { "Field2": ["v1", "v2", ...], "Field3": ["v3", "v4", ...] }
var filed, str;
for (filed in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(filed)) {
str = $.map(data[filed], function (item) {
return item + ":" + item
}).join(";");
$myGrid.jqGrid("setColProp", filed, {
editoptions: {
value: str
}
});
}
}
$myGrid.jqGrid("editRow", rowid, true);
}
});
}
Nevertheless the "Solution 2" is more close to what I would recommend you. It's not really important whether to use onSelectRow or beforeSelectRow. You can make asynchronous Ajax request to the server which returns information for all select which you need. After you get the response from the server (inside of success callback) you can set editoptions.value for all selects and only then you can start editRow. In the way you will be sure that editing of the line will use row specific options in all select.
Some additional remarks. I recommend you to verify gridview: true option in the grid. Additionally I suspect that you fill the grid in not full correct way because you have hidden PK column and you use index instead of rowid as the first parameter of beforeSelectRow and onSelectRow. It's very important to understand that the current implementation of jqGrid always assign id attribute on every row (<tr> element) of the grid. So you have to provide id information in every item of input data. If you want to display the id information to the user (and so to have column in colModel with the primary key) then you should just include key: true property in the column definition. For example you can add key: true to the definition of PK column and so you will have rowid (or index in your case) with the same value like PK. It simplify many parts of code. For example jqGrid send id parameter in the editing request to the server. It's practical to have PK in the request. Moreover if you use repeatitems: false format of jsonReader the you can include id: "PK" in the jsonReader instead of having hidden PK column. It informs jqGrid to get rowid from PK. jqGrid will save PK in id attribute of <tr> and you will don't need to have additional <td style="display:none"> with the same information in the grid.
The last remark. I would strictly recommend you to update the retro version jqGrid 3.8.1 to some more recent version, for example to free jqGrid. Even if you would use no features (like Font Awesome for example) you will have performance advantages, and the look of modern web browsers will looks much better. You should understand the jqGrid 3.8.1 was tested with old (and slow jQuery 1.4.2). The version used with Internet Explorer 8 as the latest IE version (IE9 was published later in March 2011) and it's more oriented on IE6/IE7. The look in modern Chrome/Firefox/Safari can be bad. Is it what you want?

KendoUI pagination throws exception and doesn't show page information

I'm trying to get a KendoUI grid working with server side paging. So far I've managed to get the grid reading data from the remote datasource and correctly sending paging/filtering information to an MVC controller action
This is working fine, however, I don't see the paging controls for the grid at all.
I've tried adding pageable: true to the setup of the grid, and although this does display the pager control, it doesn't show any pages/totals and throws a JS object does not support this property or method when I try and change the page using the next/prev page buttons. The method it's looking for is 'slice' - I'm going to have a look at the non-minified kendo src but in the meantime I thought I'd post here
The action looks like this:
public ActionResult _Index(int? pageSize, int? skip, string filter = "")
{
// Code that gets the data
var data = ... (some Linq->Entities queries)
var total = ... (total count of all the entities)
return Json(new { total, data });
}
I'm correctly returning the total, and I've checked the JSON and it matches what I'm expecting (and what the grid should be expecting)
The grid setup is this:
$(document).ready(function () {
var grid = $("#itemList").kendoGrid({
toolbar: kendo.template($("#template").html()),
columns: ["Manufacturer", "Model", "Price", "Tags"],
dataSource: {
transport: {
read: {
url: "catalogadmin/_index",
dataType: "json",
type: "POST",
data: {
filter: ""
}
},
},
schema: {
data: "data", // records are returned in the "data" field of the response
total: "total" // total number of records is in the "total" field of the response
},
pageSize: 2,
serverPaging: true
},
pageable: true
});
I set the pageSize to 2 to test paging (as I only have 4 items in the DB at the mo)
JSON is:
{"total":4,"data":[{"Id":6,"Manufacturer":"hello","Model":";lmqw;lemwqe","Price":4.00,"ShortDescription":"world","Tags":[],"Used":false}]}
I don't think that's the issue though - it seems like you need to set pageable: true to get paging working - but I don't think the paging even works with client side data, I'm just going to check now
Edit: I've checked and client-side paging doesn't work either. I get an 'Unable to get property toLowerCase of undefined or null reference' when trying to page. The pager looks like the server side page, no data, no page numbers, no totals.
I'm thinking Kendo isn't quite registered right - I've got the very latest version (just downloaded it now) but no cigar...
Sorted - not sure why but when I installed KendoUI using Teleriks 'convert to Kendo UI project' it registered both the kendo.all.min.js file and also the mvc/dataviz ones.
I removed the extra script references and it's all working now!

Resorting ISOtope elements after Search

I'm developing a new Hall of Fame for the Wisconsin Badgers. My beta version is viewable at http://www.uwbadgers.com/athletic-dept/hall-fame-beta.html
My question is, when the search feature is used how do I bring the visible elements to the top. It show the correct elements and uses display:none to hide the others. However it does not re-position the elements after the search and the display:none elements still take up space.
It has to do with the "-webkit-transform" style that isotope uses. How do I go about changing this or is there a better way to search using isotope?
I am using http://lomalogue.com/jquery/quicksearch/ for the search as I could not think of a way to do it with isotope alone.
I would use quicksearch's show and hide options to add appropriate classes that can be used for filtering by Isotope
$('input#id_search').quicksearch('div.member', {
show: function () {
$(this).addClass('quicksearch-visible');
},
hide: function() {
$(this).removeClass('quicksearch-visible');
},
onAfter: function() {
$container.isotope({ filter: 'quicksearch-visible'});
}
});
