I am trying to pass array of values as parameter to controller action in YII Framework,
My URL is like very hard to see with array values.
Calling Controller Action:
var jString = JSON.stringify(val);
window.open ('".$this->createUrl('campaign/reportdrill')."/id/'+jString,'_blank');
URL Formed :
http://sks14/viacrm/campaign/reportdrill/id/%5B%7B%22Campaign%22:193,%22Filter%22:651,%22crm_post_code_categ_id%22:%221%22,%22crm_campaign_post_code_id%22:%22296%22,%22todate%22:%2214-05-2014%22,%22fromdate%22:%2201-05-2014%22,%22agent%22:%22%22%7D%5D
How to hide this parameter from user or is anyother way to pass array of values to controller action ?
This is the only way to pass parameters via the GET method of URLs. If you want to 'hide' the URL, use an AJAX load instead.
var jString = JSON.stringify(val);
$('body').load('".$this->createUrl('campaign/reportdrill')."/id/'+jString);
However, AJAX load cannot apply to opening a new window. You will still need to use your URL for that purpose.

I have a JobPosts/Index page with multiple GET parameter bindings to allow filtering: let's take CityId and IsRemote for example. I don't want these to be passed as query string parameters, instead I want to use friendly routes for them. So I have defined these:
options.Conventions.AddPageRoute("/JobPosts/Index", "cities/{cityId}/jobs");
options.Conventions.AddPageRoute("/JobPosts/Index", "remote-jobs");
options.Conventions.AddPageRoute("/JobPosts/Index", "jobs");
The routes work just fine when I type them in the browser and the CityId one is bound properly, but two things are missing.
First, there is no way to specify a default value for my IsRemote param, which I want to set to true ONLY when using the remote-jobs URL.
And second, when trying to generate a URL like this:
<a asp-area="" asp-page="/JobPosts/Index" asp-route-cityId="#Model.CityId"></a>
I get the following URL:
https://localhost:44391/jobs?cityId=2265885
When what I actually expect is:
https://localhost:44391/cities/2265885/jobs
So it looks like the tag helper or the part responsible for constructing the URL doesn't look at all at the different routes to try and get a best match based on the list of parameters. Actually, it will always use the last page route defined for that page.
Nor do I have the option anywhere to specify a route name for the page route and then use asp-route to explicitly say which route I want.
Any ideas how to achieve that? Or if it's something that's on the roadmap for Razor Pages?
EDIT: Hardcoding the href is not an option. I want this to go through the proper routing services as there are other things to be done as well, like generating culture-specific URL for non-english users (eg. {cultureId}/cities/{cityId}/jobs - this is done through route conventions. Hardcoding the href would obviously bypass that.
There is a easy way to set IsRemote default value.
public bool IsRemote { get; set; } = true;
This tag asp-page will link to Page /JobPosts/Index.csthml directly,
https://localhost:44391/JobPosts?cityId=2265885
= https://localhost:44391/JobPosts/Index?cityId=2265885
If you are looking forward the URL https://localhost:44391/jobs?cityId=2265885
you could try this a tag to request.
Go to JobPosts

Using a middleware to handle /remote-jobs
app.Run(next => async context =>
{
if (context.Request.Path == "/remote-jobs")
{
return View with default IsRemote
}
});
I'm using a simple extension, which displays a list of properties from a domainobject in a f:select. After using the dropdown the form redirects to an controller action and the repository gets all records according to the choosen property by argument.
<f:form class="filter-select" name="filter-select" method="post" action="showByProperty" pageUid="{settings.detailShowByProperty}">
<f:form.select name="filter-form" options="{properties}" optionLabelField="title" optionValueField="uid" prependOptionLabel="Please choose..." prependOptionValue="0" />
<button>
Show matching records
</button>
How can i use route enhancers with select field to create an url like:
http:www.mysite.com/detailpage/property
Especially i dont know how to append the property / argument.
Thanks in advance!
This wont't work. Sending an form is completly handled by client / browser. Only option is to send the form to another action which creates an redirect with uriBuilder and form data as parameters to get an speaking url.
Currently (in Yii 1.1.13) all createUrl methods put extra params in the 'path style', which means I cannot then override them by submitting a form, because they take precedence over those that come in a query string. Is there a way to always pass extra parameters in query string but still have the url look normal and not butt-ugly like with the get urlFormat?
You can set appendParams to false in your urlManager component configuration.
I'm writing a simple API, and building a simple web application on top of this API.
Because I want to "consume my own API" directly, I first Googled and found this answer on StackOverflow which answers my initial question perfectly: Consuming my own Laravel API
Now, this works great, I'm able to access my API by doing something like:
$request = Request::create('/api/cars/'.$id, 'GET');
$instance = json_decode(Route::dispatch($request)->getContent());
This is great! But, my API also allows you to add an optional fields parameter to the GET query string to specify specific attributes that should be returned, such as this:
http://cars.com/api/cars/1?fields=id,color
Now the way I actually handle this in the API is something along the lines of this:
public function show(Car $car)
{
if(Input::has('fields'))
{
//Here I do some logic and basically return only fields requested
....
...
}
I would assume that I could do something similar as I did with the query string parameter-less approach before, something like this:
$request = Request::create('/api/cars/' . $id . '?fields=id,color', 'GET');
$instance = json_decode(Route::dispatch($request)->getContent());
BUT, it doesn't seem so. Long story short, after stepping through the code it seems that the Request object is correctly created (and it correctly pulls out the fields parameter and assigns id,color to it), and the Route seems to be dispatched OK, but within my API controller itself I do not know how to access the field parameter. Using Input::get('fields') (which is what I use for "normal" requests) returns nothing, and I'm fairly certain that's because the static Input is referencing or scoping to the initial request the came in, NOT the new request I dispatched "manually" from within the app itself.
So, my question is really how should I be doing this? Am I doing something wrong? Ideally I'd like to avoid doing anything ugly or special in my API controller, I'd like to be able to use Input::get for the internally dispatched requests and not have to make a second check , etc.
You are correct in that using Input is actually referencing the current request and not your newly created request. Your input will be available on the request instance itself that you instantiate with Request::create().
If you were using (as you should be) Illuminate\Http\Request to instantiate your request then you can use $request->input('key') or $request->query('key') to get parameters from the query string.
Now, the problem here is that you might not have your Illuminate\Http\Request instance available to you in the route. A solution here (so that you can continue using the Input facade) is to physically replace the input on the current request, then switch it back.
// Store the original input of the request and then replace the input with your request instances input.
$originalInput = Request::input();
Request::replace($request->input());
// Dispatch your request instance with the router.
$response = Route::dispatch($request);
// Replace the input again with the original request input.
Request::replace($originalInput);
This should work (in theory) and you should still be able to use your original request input before and after your internal API request is made.
I was also just facing this issue and thanks to Jason's great answers I was able to make it work.
Just wanted to add that I found out that the Route also needs to be replaced. Otherwise Route::currentRouteName() will return the dispatched route later in the script.
More details to this can be found on my blog post.
I also did some tests for the stacking issue and called internal API methods repeatedly from within each other with this approach. It worked out just fine! All requests and routes have been set correctly.
If you want to invoke an internal API and pass parameters via an array (instead of query string), you can do like this:
$request = Request::create("/api/cars", "GET", array(
"id" => $id,
"fields" => array("id","color")
));
$originalInput = Request::input();//backup original input
Request::replace($request->input());
$car = json_decode(Route::dispatch($request)->getContent());//invoke API
Request::replace($originalInput);//restore orginal input

I tend to use dojox.data.JsonRestStore as my grid's store, but I am always failed to access struts2 action, I am unfamiliar in REST, is it only can be used in servlet rather than struts2, etc.
Currently, My project is using struts2 + spring as backend skill and dojo as front-side skill, have you any ways for me to make dojox.data.JsonRestStore access a structs2 action class?
Thanks in advance.
to get the data, all you need is an HTTP GET that returns an array of JSON objects. The return value from the action must be a string with something like:
[
{
"penUser":"Micha Roon",
"submitTime":"12.03 13:20",
"state":"Eingang",
"FormNumber":"001001"
},
{
"penUser":"Micha Roon",
"submitTime":"12.03 13:20",
"state":"Eingang",
"FormNumber":"001001"
}
]
If you want to be able to update objects you have to have a method that reacts to PUT with the same URL as the one you used for GET and if you need to delete, DELETE will be used. The important part is that it must be the same URL.
In order to have JsonRestStore pass the ID in a GET parameter instead of appending it to the URL, you could specify the URL like so:
target:"services/jsonrest/formstore?formId="
When you call yourStore.get("123") the request will try to get http://yourserver:port/AppContext/services/jsonrest/formstore?formId=123
REST is nothing more than a convention.
You can use a RESTFull API like jersey.java.net in order to make your life easier and your URL more RESTFull.
