Let's take:
panel1: layout [
origin 8x8
h2 "Panel 1"
field "Field 1"
field "Field 2"
button "The Answer" [alert "I know nothing."]
]
If I probe panel1 I got a bunch of lines whereas I'd like to get just the original block:
[
origin 8x8
h2 "Panel 1"
field "Field 1"
field "Field 2"
button "The Answer" [alert "I know nothing."]
]
How to get just this ?
You should simply use another word to hold the block value:
panel1: layout panel-def: [
origin 8x8
h2 "Panel 1"
field "Field 1"
field "Field 2"
button "The Answer" [alert "I know nothing."]
]
probe panel-def
Because layout function returns a face object with lots of default values. By the way use ? instead of probe because there can be self references in face objects so you'll have a endless probe output.

I have a template file for my invoice with a table with sample row, but I want to add more rows dynamically based on a given array size, and write the cell values from the array...
Template's photo
I've been struggling for almost 3 days now.
Is there any easy way to accomplish that?
Here's the template file: Link to the Docs file(template)
And here's a few sample arrays of input data to be replaced in the Template file:
[
[
"Sample item 1s",
"Sample Quantity 1",
"Sample price 1",
"Sample total 1"
],
[
"Sample item 2",
"Sample Quantity 2",
"Sample price 2",
"Sample total 2"
],
[
"Sample item 3",
"Sample Quantity 3",
"Sample price 3",
"Sample total 3"
],
]
Now, the length of the parent array can vary depending on the number of items in the invoice, and that's the only problem that I'm struggling with.
And... Yeah, this is a duplicate question, I've found another question on the same topic, but looking at the answers and comments, everyone is commenting that they don't understand the question whereas it looks perfectly clear for me.
Google Docs Invoice template with dynamically items row from Google Sheets
I think the person who asked the question have already quit from it. :(
By the way I am using the API for PHP (Google API Client Library for PHP), and code for replacing dummy text a Google Docs Document by the actual data is given below:
public function replaceTexts(array $replacements, string $document_id) {
# code...
$req = new Docs\BatchUpdateDocumentRequest();
// var_dump($replacements);
// die();
foreach ($replacements as $replacement) {
$target = new Docs\SubstringMatchCriteria();
$target->text = "{{" . $replacement["targetText"] . "}}";
$target->setMatchCase(false);
$req->setRequests([
...$req->getRequests(),
new Docs\Request([
"replaceAllText" => [
"replaceText" => $replacement["newText"],
"containsText" => $target
]
]),
]);
}
return $this->docs_service->documents->batchUpdate(
$document_id,
$req
);
}
A possible solution would be the following
First prep the document by removing every row from the table apart from the title.
Get the full document tree from the Google Docs API.
This would be a simple call with the document id
$doc = $service->documents->get($documentId);
Traverse the document object returned to get to the table and then find the location of the right cell. This could be done by looping through the elements in the body object until one with the right table field is found. Note that this may not necessarily be the first one since in your template, the section with the {{CustomerName}} placeholder is also a table. So you may have to find a table that has the first cell with a text value of "Item".
Add a new row to the table. This is done by creating a request with the shape:
[
'insertTableRow' => [
'tableCellLocation' => [
'rowIndex' => 1,
'columnIndex' => 1,
'tableStartLocation' => [
'index' => 177
]
]
]
]
The tableStartLocation->index element is the paragraph index of the cell to be entered, i.e. body->content[i]->table->startIndex. Send the request.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to get the updated $doc object, and then access the newly created cell i.e. body->content[i]->table->tableRows[j]->tableCells[k]->content->paragraph->elements[l]->startIndex.
Send a request to update the text content of the cell at the location of the startIndex from 5 above, i.e.
[
'insertText' => [
'location' => [
'index' => 206,
]
],
'text' => 'item_1'
]
]
Repeat step 5 but access the next cell. Note that after each update you need to fetch an updated version of the document object because the indexes change after inserts.
To be honest, this approach is pretty cumbersome, and it's probably more efficient to insert all the data into a spreadsheet and then embed the spreadsheet into your word document. Information on that can be found here How to insert an embedded sheet via Google Docs API?.
As a final note, I created a copy of your template and used the "Try this method" feature in the API documentation to validate my approach so some of the PHP syntax may be a bit off, but I hope you get the general idea.
I have 3 attributes:
ID
Text
Is Requirement?
Here's an example of what I want:
Before:
ID Text Is Requirement?
AB45 3.1.2 Apples FALSE
AB46 All apples shall be red. TRUE
After:
ID Text Is Requirement?
AB45 3.1.2 Apples FALSE
AB46 [AB46] All apples shall be red. TRUE
Is there a programmatic way to add ID's to the front of the "Text", only if "Is Requirement?" is TRUE? If so, where exactly would the code go and how would you execute it? Would it be an additional DXL attribute?
Not directly. An attribute can either be calculated or manually filled, not both at the same time. Perhaps you might want to have two views, one "Edit view", one "Show Requirements View". In the latter, you will not show the main column (main column shows "Object Heading" and "Object Text"), but you will have a DXL Layout column with a code like this:
bool objIsReq = obj."Is Requirement?"
if (objIsReq) {
display "[" identifier(obj) "] " obj."Object Text" ""
} else {
if (!null obj."Object Heading""") then display number (obj) " - " obj."Object Heading"""
if (!null obj."Object Text""") then display obj."Object Text"""
}
I'd like to capture rebol console input line by line so as to act upon it in realtime like in nodejs with readline function : Reading value from console, interactively
Is this possible in rebol ?
Maybe like
until [name: ask "What's your name? " also name = "noname" print ["nice to meet you" name]]
or
until [
name: ask "What's your name? "
either empty? name [
true
] [
print ["nice to meet you" name]
false
]
]
or
while [not empty? name: ask "What's your name? "][print ["nice to meet you" name]]
I'm trying to add a field to a layout after it has been viewed
view/no-wait m: [field "hello"]
insert tail m 'field
insert tail m "hello"
update-face m
** Script error: update-face does not allow block! for its face argument
I want to update the whole layout, not just the field or some part of it. If I try to use
view m, it opens a new window. Do I just have to un-view it and then view again?
You can use the LAYOUT function in R3-GUI as well. See the example below:
view/no-wait m: layout [field "hello"]
;We need to get the BACKDROP container which is first sub-face in the WINDOW face
m: first faces? m
append-content m [
field "world"
]
do-events
Ofcourse there are also other ways how to handle layout content dynamically.
Try this example from Richard

button "clear"
on-action [

button "set"
on-action [
set-content test [
button "test"
field "the best"
]
]
button "insert"
on-action [
insert-content test bind/set probe reduce [to-set-word copy/part random "abcdefgh" 2 'button join "button #" 1 + length? test/gob] 'system
]
button "append"
on-action [
append-content test reduce ['button join "button #" 1 + length? test/gob]
]
button "remove 2 faces at pos 3"
on-action [
remove-content/pos/part test 3 2
]
]
so the words you're looking for are append-content and insert-content which take a face and a block as parameters where the block contains the definition of another face.
I don't know view yet, but I have a hint. The first line sets "m" to the block [field "hello"]. Check to see what "update-face" expects...
I've just started using RestKit. Given the JSON structure below, how do I configure an object mapping for key 1 and key 2? I've successfully set up the object mapping for key 3.
{
"key 1": "value",
"key 2": "value",
"key 3": [
{
"key": "value"
"key": "value"
},
{
"key": "value"
"key": "value"
},
]
}
Thanks in advance.
To successfully use the RestKit object mapping without KVC you'll need to use two mappings - one inner mapping for the "key 3" and one outer mapping for "key 1" and "key 2".
You then define a relationship for the "key 3" key path. See another question for details.
