Dynamic Tabs/Lists with Ember js - dynamic

I'm trying to learn Ember js, doing some experiments, so far not much success, but slowly moving forward.
But now I got stuck, I'm trying to create a dynamic tabs without router. I have these two fiddles
http://jsfiddle.net/drulia/BzRUF/
http://jsfiddle.net/drulia/uNNXy/
one simple, keeping references in the controller and another one with ContainerView, but I have stuck on both approaches. I tried StateManager as well, but once again with no luck.
Problem in first fiddle is that I found no other way to get element's content in the View than using this._parentView.get('content'); which is not right because I'm not suppose to use anything with prefix _ . But I have no idea how else I can actually check if element belongs to active tab.
Second fiddle main problem is that I have no clue how can I attach content to the tabs. Also struggling with ability to remove tabs, because {{action remove this target="App.Tabs"}} allways points to the same element.
I been reading all guides and API on http://emberjs.com, also was reading plenty of other tutorials, most of them have no real value because they outdated, especially for me newbie, because it is already hard enough to attach together up to date pieces provided in the official page.
This todo app example though, was very useful https://github.com/trek/ember-todos-with-build-tools-tests-and-other-modern-conveniences It is very good quality, but areas like tabs is handwritten and they work via router.
To sum-up, at the moment the Views is quite a mystery for me, so any light helping out with dynamic tabs would be much appreciated.

Not perfect, but does the job, you can navigate, create and delete the tabs.
To make it really usable, there should be some id's with tabs, so then tabs could have same title. But the idea is there and I truly hope that someone will find it useful.
Below are main part from of js to get the idea what's going on
App.IndexController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
tabs: ['Tab1','Tab2'],
activeTab: 'Tab1',
counter: 2,
closeTab: function(tab) {
var i = this.tabs.indexOf(tab);
this.tabs.removeAt(i);
if(tab === this.activeTab)
this.set('activeTab',this.tabs.objectAt(0));
},
createTab: function() {
var newTab = 'Tab' + ++this.counter;
this.tabs.pushObject(newTab);
this.set('activeTab',newTab);
}
});
App.TabInputView = Ember.TextArea.extend({
placeholder: function() {
return 'Empty Area of ' + this.tab;
}.property(),
isVisible: function(s) {
var activeTab = this.get('controller.activeTab');
return Boolean(activeTab === this.tab);
}.property('controller.activeTab')
});
And here the main part of html
{{#each tab in tabs}}
{{#view App.TabView tabBinding="tab"}}
{{tab}} <span class="close" {{action closeTab tab bubbles=false}}>x</span>
{{/view}}
{{/each}}
<button {{action createTab}}>+</button>

Object reactivity of complex object

I have an issue with complex object reactivity.
I've read everything I can on stack to find a way to solve it, but nothing works. I've looked at object reactvity and array caveats on vuejs, but not working either.
So I'm asking some help please.
Let me explain the project:
I have 2 columns :
- on the left side, I CRUD my content
- on the right side, I display the results
I have my object, and I'm adding new elements on its "blocks" property (text, images, etc...)
[
{
"uid": 1573224607087,
"animation": "animationName",
"background": {
"bckColor": "#ff55ee",
...
},
"blocks": []
}
]
On click event, I add a new element via this method. Everything is ok, I can CRUD a block.
addBloc(el) {
if (el.type == "text") {
const datasA = {
type: "text",
uid: Date.now(),
slideId: this.pagination.currentPage,
content: el.content,
css: {
color: "#373737",
...
},
...
};
this.slides[this.pagination.currentPage].blocks.push(datasA);
this.$bus.$emit("newElement", datasA);
}
To modify the order of my elements on the display side, I added a drag and drop module to move my block on my DOM tree. Smooth dnd
The problem is, when I drang&drop my element, my object is updated correctly, but the DOM isn't. The dragged element goes back to its initial position.
What is strange, when I try to modify my block (the one I dragged), it modifies the other one.
I'me adding a small video, so you can see what's happening.
Small animation to show you what's going on
I add some more explainations.
I use event bus to communicate between my components, and the right side is using its own object!
I don't know how I can solve this issue.
Tell me if you need more information.
Thank you all !
EDIT 1 :
I added an id to each block to see what happens when I start Drag&Drop. ==> blocks are moving correctly. The problem is not coming from the method onDrop() but from my nested components if I understand well. They don't update. I'm going to search for this new issue.
I've added a new gif to show what's going on.
This is the nested structure
TheSidebar.vue => top container
<Container
:data-index="i"
#drop="onDrop(i,$event)"
:get-child-payload="itemIndex => getChildPayload(i, itemIndex)"
lock-axis="y"
>
<Draggable
v-show="pagination.currentPage === i"
v-for="(input, index) in slides[i].blocks"
:key="index.uid"
:id="'slideBlocksContainer'+index"
class="item"
>
blockId #{{input.uid}}
<AppContainer
v-if="input.type == 'text'"
:blocType="input.type"
:placeholder="input.content"
:id="index"
:slideId="i"
></AppContainer>
</Draggable>
</Container>
Then I have my AppContainer.vue file, which is a top level. In this I have the specific elements of each input type
And I have AppElement.vue file, which is common elements, I can use everywhere
Something like this
TheSidebar
--AppContainer
----AppElement
Know I don't know yet, how to force vue to update AppContainer.vue and AppElement.vue
EDIT 2 :
As suggested in this article I've changed the key of the component and now , when I drag and drop my elements, they stay where they are dropped.
What I see also, is that the AppElement inputs, are related to their own AppContainer. So everything is ok now, but I don't know if it is best practices.
The issue appears to be that the Smooth dnd library you are using is not updating the array of blocks that you are passing to it, it is likely making a copy of the array internally. So when you change the position of the blocks by dragging and dropping, you are not changing your blocks array, just the internal copy.
Looking at the Smooth dnd documentation, if you wanted to access the modified array you could try using the drag-end event handler:
onDragEnd (dragResult) {
const { isSource, payload, willAcceptDrop } = dragResult
}

Event handling after HTML injection with Vue.js

Vue is not registering event handler for HTML injected objects. How do I do this manually or what is a better way to work around my problem?
Specifically, I send a query to my server to find a token in text and return the context (surrounding text) of that token as it exists in unstructured natural language. The server also goes through the context and finds a list of those words that also happen to be in my token set.
When I render to my page I want all of these found tokens in the list to be clickable so that I can send the text of that token as a new search query. The big problem I am having is my issue does not conform to a template. The clickable text varies in number and positioning.
An example of what I am talking about is that my return may look like:
{
"context": "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected",
"chunks": ['human events', 'one people', 'political bands']
}
And the resulting output I am looking for is the sentence looks something like this in psuedocode:
When in the Course of <a #click='search("human events")'>human events</a>, it becomes necessary for <a #click='search("one people")'>one people</a> to dissolve the <a #click='search("political bands")'>political bands</a> which have connected
This is what I have tried so far though the click handler is not registered and the function never gets called:
<v-flex xs10 v-html="addlink(context.context, context.chunks)"></v-flex>
and in my methods section:
addlink: function(words, matchterms){
for(var index in matchterms){
var regquery = matchterms[index].replace(this.regEscape, '\\$&');
var query = matchterms[index];
var regEx = new RegExp(regquery, "ig");
words = words.replace(regEx, '<a href=\'#\' v-on:click.prevent=\'doSearch("'+ query +'")\'>' + query + '</a>');
}
return words;
}
As I said, this does not work and I know why. This is just showing that because of the nature of the problem is seems like regex is the correct solution but that gets me into a v-html injection situation. Is there something I can do in Vue to register the event handlers or can some one tell me a better way to load this data so I keep my links inline with the sentence and make them functional as well?
I've already posted one answer but I've just realised that there's a totally different approach that might work depending on your circumstances.
You could use event delegation. So rather than putting click listeners on each <a> you could put a single listener on the wrapper element. Within the listener you could then check whether the clicked element was an <a> (using event.target) and act accordingly.
Here's one way you could approach it:
<template>
<div>
<template v-for="segment in textSegments">
<a v-if="segment.link" href="#" #click.prevent="search(segment.text)">
{{ segment.text }}
</a>
<template v-else>
{{ segment.text }}
</template>
</template>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data () {
return {
"context": "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected",
"chunks": ['human events', 'one people', 'political bands']
}
},
computed: {
textSegments () {
const chunks = this.chunks
// This needs escaping correctly
const re = new RegExp('(' + chunks.join('|') + ')', 'gi')
// The filter removes empty strings
const segments = this.context.split(re).filter(text => text)
return segments.map(segment => {
return {
link: segment.match(re),
text: segment
}
})
}
},
methods: {
search (chunk) {
console.log(chunk)
}
}
}
</script>
I've parsed the context text into an array of segments that can then be handled cleanly using Vue's template syntax.
I've used a single RegExp and split, which will not discard matches if you wrap them in a capture group, (...).
Going back to your original example, v-html only supports native HTML, not Vue template syntax. So you can add events using onclick attributes but not #click or v-on:click. However, using onclick wouldn't provide easy access to your search method, which is scoped to your component.

Sectioning data in a ListView

Say you have a list of People incoming from your API.
[{content: 'John'},
{content: 'Tim'},
{content: 'Harry J. Epstein'}]
And you're looking to put people who are first-name-basis friends (John and Tim) under a section 'Friends' and people who are not (Harry J. Epstein) under 'Contacts'.
Tapping a friend selects them with a blue highlight, but tapping a 'contact' selects them with a red highlight.
Would the proper approach be to take the incoming data from the API, add a type: 'Friend', ... or type: 'Contact', ... around it, and section based on that type with separate a FriendItem and ContactItem class so I can split the highlighting function?
I've got a bunch of just basic ListView code that does this exact approach, but I'm basically looking for the easy way out, like Angulars ng-repeat equivalent.
So what's the React Native version of
var friends = api.getFriends()
var contacts = api.getContacts()
<div ng-repeat="friend in friends" ng-click="highlightFriend()"> ... </div>
<div ng-repeat="contact in contacts" ng-click="highlightContact()"> ... </div>
I'm struggling to understand how to split it. Do I need a FriendsPage, FriendsItem, and ContactsItem? Or put everything into one array in FriendsPage and use a FriendsItem that checks if it's a friend or contact and adds a function separately?
I feel like I'm slightly lost coming from MVC. I've got Redux running too, if there's an easy way using that.
Here is a nice example on how you can create section-dependent rows: https://github.com/spoeck/ListViewExample
The idea is basically to create the data blob properly, which is a bit tricky, and then in your renderRow callback, check the sectionID parameter:
_renderRow(rowData: any, sectionID: any, rowID: number) {
if (sectionID === this.data[0].section) {
return <MyFriends />
} else if (sectionID === this.data[1].section) {
return <MyContacts />
}else{
// ...
}
}
why don't you try SectionList
Use the new FlatList or SectionList component instead. Besides
simplifying the API, the new list components also have significant
performance enhancements, the main one being nearly constant memory
usage for any number of rows.

sencha touch - custom html template ported from another framework

Previous attempt at this app was done in jqtouch and this effect worked perfectly. Im having a really hard time wrapping my head on how best to do this with sencha touch.
My situation is best described in this image
This is just one item that should populate a carousel so reusing it with different data is paramount (no hard coded html).
thank you
Finally solved it thought I should update it here
Ext.define('mobuy.view.myCarousel', {
extend: 'Ext.carousel.Carousel',
alias: 'widget.myCarousel',
config: {
myitems: 0,
},
updateMyItems: function(newItem) {
var localCarouselItems = [];
Ext.each(newItems, function(item){
localCarouselItems.push({
xtype:'localItem',
data:item.data
});
});
this.setItems(localCarouselItems);
this.setActiveItem(0);
}
})
what this does is basically create an array of new items of type localItem from the store when one calls setMyItems and sets the data (to be used with xtemplate or whatever) for each of those items.
If anybody needs more details please ask and I'll update my answer.

dojo.connect VS <script type="dojo/connect"> (DojoML)

First of all I want to say Im new in the DOJO world and probably for some persons this
question is stupid :). But also somebody says that there is no stupid questions.
Here is my problem:
I got a quick question related to DojoML (<script type="dojo/connect"> to be more exact).
In an example here: http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dijit/Tree.html
we got somethin like this :
<script type="dojo/connect">
var menu = dijit.byId("tree_menu");
menu.bindDomNode(this.domNode);
dojo.connect(menu, "_openMyself", this, function(e) {
var tn = dijit.getEnclosingWidget(e.target);
menu.getChildren().forEach(function(i) {
i.attr('disabled', !tn.item.children);
});
});
</script>
Now I would like to translate it to "traditional" script.
As I read here : http://dojocampus.org/content/2008/08/09/dojoml-the-best-thing-since-sliced-bread/
such DojoML notation can be translated into :
dojo.connect(oMyTree, 'postCreate', null, function(){});
My question is if this is the right "translation" because it simply doesnt work.
My goal is to attach a simple right click menu to every MyTree's node.
I have read some where i like this. This kind of scripts will run once the widget enclosing them is instantiated. Basically will append a extra handler to postCreate. But if you do you are erasing the default postCreate and running your postcreate handler.
