Does a foreach loop work directly with a JSonStore data object store? - dojo

I create a JSonStore with a JSON formatted array of objects.
I have verified it is properly formatted.
I then try to use a dojo forEach loop on it but the JSonStore doesn't seem to have any data in it. I can specify the target in my web page URL and it shows the right data. But using console.log(myJsonStore) shows an object but I don't see the data in Firebug. I also don't see any GET for the service providing the data. It's like specifying the target path in a URL in the browser fires the GET but not when I try to trigger it in the postCreate where my foreach is located.

The answer from Ricardo, i believe is a little incorrect, seeing as the JsonRest.query function returns a dojo.Deferred.
You have a REST call being made asynchroniously through store read api - and once it returns values, it will promise to run whats set as the callback.
Try this for your loop iterator instead
storeObj.query( {} ).then(function ( results ) {
dojo.forEach( results, function( obj ) {
console.log( obj );
});
}

you can do this:
var storeObj = new JsonRest({
target: "/some/resource"
});
storeObj.query({}).forEach(function(obj){console.log(obj);});
that should do the trick

Cloud Function retrieving a value based on URL parameter

I am trying to write a Cloud Function in node where I can return a token from a parameter.
The URL I use is...
https://us-central1-nmnm03.cloudfunctions.net/GetAccount?taccount=Asd
my function is this... and its wrong. I suspect I am not assigning TT properly.
var functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
exports.GetAccount = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
const t = admin.database().ref('/newaccout/'+req.query.account)
const tt = t.child(token)
res.send( "res is " + tt );
});
req.query.account is the Key. One of the Items in the document is token
ideally, I would like to get something like...
{"token":"23453458885"}
Could I get a node hint please... thanks
Though, I am not a firebase geek. What it seems from the documentation is that you will have two events that you can use to listen for retrieving child data. You can read further more here. The given options are used for different cases. Please follow through the mentioned link to have clear view.
Inside your cloud function you can try doing following:
const t = admin.database().ref('/newaccout/'+req.query.account)
t.on('child_added', function(data) {
res.json({
token: data.token
})
})
Or maybe like this:
const t = admin.database().ref('/newaccout/'+req.query.account)
t.once('value', function(snapshot) {
//Process it like above
//But here you will get al child elements at once
});
It looks like you are expecting to query the value found at a database reference stored at t. Unfortunately, you haven't actually performed a query yet. tt is just yet another Reference object that points to a location in the database. You should use the once() method on Reference to query a database location. Also bear in mind that you are using a variable called token, but you haven't defined yet in your code. To me, that looks like it would generate an error to me.
You might be well served by looking at a bunch of the sample code.

FETCH API return undefined

I want to use Fetch API but i don' t really understand it's mecanism.
I have an in my HTML and i want to assign the result of my fetch with this code :
const weather = "http://api.apixu.com/v1/current.json?key=cba287f271e44f88a60143926172803&q=Paris";
const array = [];
fetch(weather)
.then(blob => blob.json())
.then(data => {
array.push(data.current.humidity)
console.log(array[0])
}
);
document.querySelector('h1').innerHTML = array[0];
i have the result with the console.log but the returns "undefined". can you explain why ?
thanks a lot
This is because the call to the API is asynchronous, meaning that the code is not executed just line by line as you write it. The callback only runs as soon as the call to the API has finished, basically meaning that
data => {
array.push(data.current.humidity)
console.log(array[0])
}
runs after
document.querySelector('h1').innerHTML = array[0];
So when you try to set your h1, array is still empty. If you want to set it as soon the data is available, you have to do it within the callback function:
data => {
array.push(data.current.humidity)
document.querySelector('h1').innerHTML = array[0];
}
This might seem weird at first, but keep in mind that you're only registering an anonymous function but not running it yet. You just define the function that you want to trigger as soon as something happens, in this case: when your API call has finished.

Datatables: How to reload server-side data with additional params

I have a table which gets its data server-side, using custom server-side initialization params which vary depending upon which report is produced. Once the table is generated, the user may open a popup in which they can add multiple additional filters on which to search. I need to be able to use the same initialization params as the original table, and add the new ones using fnServerParams.
I can't figure out how to get the original initialization params using the datatables API. I had thought I could get a reference to the object, get the settings using fnSettings, and pass those settings into a new datatables instance like so:
var oSettings = $('#myTable').dataTable().fnSettings();
// add additional params to the oSettings object
$('#myTable').dataTable(oSettings);
but the variable returned through fnSettings isn't what I need and doesn't work.
At this point, it seems like I'm going to re-architect things so that I can pass the initialization params around as a variable and add params as needed, unless somebody can steer me in the right direction.
EDIT:
Following tduchateau's answer below, I was able to get partway there by using
var oTable= $('#myTable').dataTable(),
oSettings = oTable.fnSettings(),
oParams = oTable.oApi._fnAjaxParameters(oSettings);
oParams.push('name':'my-new-filter', 'value':'my-new-filter-value');
and can confirm that my new serverside params are added on to the existing params.
However, I'm still not quite there.
$('#myTable').dataTable(oSettings);
gives the error:
DataTables warning(table id = 'myTable'): Cannot reinitialise DataTable.
To retrieve the DataTables object for this table, please pass either no arguments
to the dataTable() function, or set bRetrieve to true.
Alternatively, to destroy the old table and create a new one, set bDestroy to true.
Setting
oTable.bRetrieve = true;
doesn't get rid of the error, and setting
oSettings.bRetrieve = true;
causes the table to not execute the ajax call. Setting
oSettings.bDestroy = true;
loses all the custom params, while setting
oTable.bDestroy = true;
returns the above error. And simply calling
oTable.fnDraw();
causes the table to be redrawn with its original settings.
Finally got it to work using fnServerParams. Note that I'm both deleting unneccessary params and adding new ones, using a url var object:
"fnServerParams": function ( aoData ) {
var l = aoData.length;
// remove unneeded server params
for (var i = 0; i < l; ++i) {
// if param name starts with bRegex_, sSearch_, mDataProp_, bSearchable_, or bSortable_, remove it from the array
if (aoData[i].name.search(/bRegex_|sSearch_|mDataProp_|bSearchable_|bSortable_/) !== -1 ){
aoData.splice(i, 1);
// since we've removed an element from the array, we need to decrement both the index and the length vars
--i;
--l;
}
}
// add the url variables to the server array
for (i in oUrlvars) {
aoData.push( { "name": i, "value": oUrlvars[i]} );
}
}
This is normally the right way to retrieve the initialization settings:
var oSettings = oTable.fnSettings();
Why is it not what you need? What's wrong with these params?
If you need to filter data depending on your additional filters, you can complete the array of "AJAX data" sent to the server using this:
var oTable = $('#myTable').dataTable();
var oParams = oTable.oApi._fnAjaxParameters( oTable );
oParams.push({name: "your-additional-param-name", value: your-additional-param-value });
You can see some example usages in the TableTools plugin.
But I'm not sure this is what you need... :-)

dojo 1.7 QueryReadStore parameters

I am new to Dojo, I am using QueryReadStore as the store for loading my TreeGrid, working fine. But the QueryReadStore appends some paramters to the url, parameters like parentId, count, sort etc., I have looked at this link http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.7/dojox/data/QueryReadStore.html, but not able to understand.
Parameters are getting passed like this servlet/DataHandler?start=0&count=25
How to manipulate the parameters, like I want to set the value for parentId paramters so that I only get that particular row details.
In theory you wold have to create a new class by extending the "dojox.data.QueryReadStore", in the link you posted have an example for doing exactly what you want. See if you get it now(changed a bit):
dojo.require("dojox.data.QueryReadStore");
dojo.declare("custom.MyReadStore", dojox.data.QueryReadStore, {
fetch:function(request){
//append here your custom parameters:
var qs = {p1:"This is parameter 1",
q:request.query.name
}
request.serverQuery = qs;
// Call superclasses' fetch
return this.inherited("fetch", arguments);
}
});
So When come to create the QueryReadStore you actually create a object with the class you defined. something like this:
var queryReadStore = new custom.MyReadStore({args...})
Explore the request parameter passed to the function to see what else you can do.

How to get an object from a _ref

I apologize if this is a stupid/newb question, but when a Rally query result is returned with a _ref (using the Javascript SDK 1.32), is there a way to directly get the object associated with the _ref?
I see that I can use getRefFromTypeAndObjectId to get the type and the object ID, and then query on that type and object ID to get the object, however I wondered if there was something like getObjectFromRef or some other such way to more directly get back the object associated with the reference.
Excellent question. The getRallyObject method on RallyDataSource should do what you need.
var ref = '/defect/12345.js';
rallyDataSource.getRallyObject(ref, function(result) {
//got it
var name = result.Name;
}, function(response) {
//oh noes... errors
var errors = response.Errors;
});
In SDK 2.0 you use the load method of a data model to read a specific object. Check out this example: http://developer.help.rallydev.com/apps/2.0p5/doc/#!/guide/appsdk_20_data_models
