I have singlePost with postId. In each singlePost, I list comment.
Autoform for comment:
{{#autoForm id="updateCommentArray" type="update-pushArray" collection=Collections.Posts doc=commentDoc scope="comment" template="semanticUI"}}
{{> afQuickField name="content"}}
<div class="form-group">
<button type="submit" class="ui positive button">Submit</button>
<button type="reset" class="ui negative button">Reset</button>
</div>
{{/autoForm}}
What Autoform provide is to use scope to attach new array into specified field. For example, when I use scope comment.0.reply, that reply will attach to first array of comment. When I use scope comment.1.reply, that reply will attach to second array of comment. Etc
How to make it dynamic? What I thought is to use commentId, but how?
Thank you
I think it works like this:
The scope defines to which array inside a document the form is adding.
The doc is the document where the form shall add data to the scope.
For example (i did not test this, but it is similar to code i used):
javascript:
CommentsSchema = new SimpleSchema({
comment:{
type:String,
autoform:{
rows: 2
}
}
});
PostSchema = new SimpleSchema ({
content:{
type:String,
autoform: {
rows: 2
}
},
comments:{
type:[CommentsSchema]
}
});
template:
{{#each posts}}
{{#autoForm id=this._id type="update-pushArray" collection='Posts' doc=this scope="comment" template="semanticUI"}}
{{> afQuickField name="content"}}
<div class="form-group">
<button type="submit" class="ui positive button">Submit</button>
<button type="reset" class="ui negative button">Reset</button>
</div>
{{/autoForm}}
{{/each}}

I have an EJS script running a forEach generating html cards.My console.log event works on the first instance of my ejs template, but not the proceeding ones. How do I get event listener working on the proceeding ones??
EJS code snippet:
<form id="likesForm">
<button type="submit" class="dislike btn" id="dislikebtn" style="height: 24px;" value ="<%=i._id%>"><img src="/images\votedwn.png"></button>
<%=i.likes%>
<button type="submit" class="like btn" id="likebtn" style="height: 24px;" value ="<%=i._id%>"><img src="/images\voteup.png"></button>
</form>
Client.js:
const likesForm = document.getElementById("likesForm");
likesForm.addEventListener("submit", () => {
console.log("hi");
});
The reason you are not selecting one and only one is because the ID's need to be unique, and they can not be unique since they are being repeated. You will have to have your event listener in a parent element like a div and work with that instead.
<div id="grabThis">
<form id="likesForm">
<button type="submit" class="dislike btn" id="dislikebtn" style="height: 24px;" value ="<%=i._id%>"><img src="/images\votedwn.png"></button>
<%=i.likes%>
<button type="submit" class="like btn" id="likebtn" style="height: 24px;" value ="<%=i._id%>"><img src="/images\voteup.png"></button>
</form>
</div>
change your ejs to this:
const likesForm = document.getElementById("grabThis");
likesForm.addEventListener("submit", () => {
console.log("hi");
});
This are the event listeners for my two templates,specified in events.js
// event listeners on the addSiteForm template
Template.addCommentForm.events({
// this runs when they click the add button... you need to compete it
'click .js-add-comment':function(event){
var comment_text = $('#comment_input').val();// get the form value using jquery...
var user = 'anonymous person';
// the 'this' variable contains
// the data that this template is displaying
// which is the Website item
var site = this;
if (Meteor.user()){
user = Meteor.user().emails[0].address
}
var comment = {"text":comment_text,
"siteId":site._id,
"createdOn":new Date(),
"createdBy":user};// create a simple object to insert to the collectoin
Comments.insert(comment);
console.log("events start");
console.log("totla coomets are "+Comments.find({}).count()+"\n");
console.log("commenst in site "+Comments.find({siteId:site._id}).count()+"\n");
console.log("site id is "+site._id);
console.log("events end");
return false;
}
});
// event listeners on the addSiteForm template
Template.addSiteForm.events({
// this runs when they click the add button... you need to compete it
'click .js-add-site':function(event){
var url = $('#url_input').val();// get the form value using jquery...
var user = 'anonymous person';
if (Meteor.user()){
user = Meteor.user().emails[0].address
}
var site = {"url":url,
"createdOn":new Date(),
"createdBy":user};// create a simple object to insert to the collectoin
Websites.insert(site);
return false;
}
});
The router function is specified in router.js
Router.configure({
layoutTemplate: 'ApplicationLayout'
});
// the main route. showing the list of sites.
Router.route('/', function () {
this.render('siteList');
});
// this route is for the discussion page for a site
Router.route('/discussSite/:_id', function () {
var siteId = this.params._id;
site = Websites.findOne({_id:siteId});
this.render('discussSite', {data:site});
});
the main.js contain the collections
// shared code
Websites = new Mongo.Collection("websites");
Comments = new Mongo.Collection("comments");
helpers is
// this helper gets the data from the collection for the site-list Template
Template.siteList.helpers({
'all_websites':function(){
return Websites.find({});
},
'safer_email':function(email){
if (email.indexOf('#')!=-1){// we have an email
return email.split('#')[0];
}
else{// probably anonymouse.
return email;
}
}
});
Template.discussSite.helpers({
'comments':function(siteId){
//console.log("helper comments "+this.site);
// complete the code here so that it reruns
console.log(this.params.site._id);
return Comments.find({siteId:siteId});
// all the comments with a siteId equal to siteId.
}
});
the html file is in main.html.here it first displays the websites available in the webpage.On clicking this the user is routed to a new page.Here the user can add comments for the website
<head>
<title>week_4_peer_assessment</title>
</head>

The starup.js contains the start up code run by the server
Meteor.startup(function(){
if (!Websites.findOne()){// nothing in the database yet
var site = {"url":"http://www.google.com",
"createdOn":new Date(),
"createdBy":"Michael"};// create a simple object to insert to the collectoin
Websites.insert(site);
site = {"url":"http://www.yeeking.net",
"createdOn":new Date(),
"createdBy":"Janet"};// create a simple object to insert to the collectoin
Websites.insert(site);
site = {"url":"http://www.coursera.org",
"createdOn":new Date(),
"createdBy":"Jose"};// create a simple object to insert to the collectoin
Websites.insert(site);
}
});
This is what your template should be: (I removed safer_email. It was erroring. Not sure if it was something else you were working on.)
<template name="discussSite">
<h3>Discussing: {{url}} </h3>
{{> addCommentForm}}
<!-- write some code here that iterates through the comments and displays
the comment text and the author -->
<!-- clue - you have already written the 'comments' helper function -->
<ul>
{{#each comments}}
<li>{{text}} (added by {{createdBy}})</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
</template>
helper:
your helper function is designed to take in siteId as an input, yet you are not passing one to it.
this._id or Router.current().params._id will get you the siteId that you are looking for. You'd used this.site._id which used to error out as this.site was not valid.You can further see what the this object contains by doing a console.log(this). That would have helped you sort this out faster.
'comments':function(){
console.log("site id in helper is ",this._id); // or Router.current().params._id;
console.log(Comments.find({siteId:this._id}).fetch());
return Comments.find({siteId:this._id});
}
I have a reactive-table in Meteor that lists usernames and email addresses from the users collection. I want to click on the email address and have a modal pop up with that email address filled in the "to" field.
Template with reactive table and email modal:
<template name="Compete">
{{> reactiveTable class="table table-bordered table-hover" settings=settings }}
{{> emailModalTemplate settings.fields}}
</template>
settings helper:
Template.Compete.helpers({
settings: function(){
if (Meteor.user()){
var col = Meteor.users.find({ }, {fields: {profile:1, emails:1} } );
var email = 'emails.0.address';
return {
collection: col,
showFilter: false,
showNavigation: 'never',
fields: [{
key: 'profile.userName',
label: 'Player'
}, {
key: email,
label: 'Email',
fn: function(email){
return new Spacebars.SafeString(
''+email+''
);
}
}]
};
}
},
And here is the email modal template:
<template name="emailModalTemplate">
<div class="modal fade" id="emailModal">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-sm">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h4 class="modal-title">Send Email</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<form role="form" id="email-form">
<input type="email" id="inputEmail" placeholder="{{addToAddr}}">
<input type="text" id="inputSubject" placeholder="Subject">
<textarea id="inputBody" rows="5" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
At this point, the {{addToAddr}} helper is just console logging "this" but all I can get back are the actual keys from the reactive table settings, but not the values. Am I passing in the right thing by passing in the reactive table helper?
What else could I pass in to the email modal template to get the actual email values that I can then use to populate the email to address field?
EDIT: One last note to add:
My click event is as follows:
'click .sndLnk': function(e){
e.preventDefault();
console.log( $(e.currentTarget).attr('value') );
$('#emailModal').modal('show');
}
The console.log here accurately shows the email address I want to pass in, but how do I pass that in to the email modal form? I assumed via the helper, but maybe that's wrong?
I tinkered with it some more and resolved it by setting a session variable in a new "external" helper function, "external" in that it is just a var I set, not within Template.myTemplate.helpers:
var openEmailModal = function(email) {
Session.set('theEmailAddr', email);
$('#emailModal').modal('show');
}
Then I modified the click event to call the new var/function:
'click .sndLnk': function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var email = $(e.currentTarget).attr('value');
openEmailModal(email);
}
At the end of the day this seems pretty basic, I made it into much more than it was I guess... Thanks to all who viewed.
I'm a beginner in the AngularJs and MongoDb world (i started learning today!!)
Actually i'm trying to do something very basic : Display a list of record, with an add button and a edit link with each record.
I'm using this lib https://github.com/pkozlowski-opensource/angularjs-mongolab to connect to mongoweb.
Actually my data is displayed, when i try to add a record it works, but the problem is when i try to display the edit form!
Here is my index.html file, in which i display the data with a form to add a record and with the edit links :
<div ng-controller="AppCtrl">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="team in teams">
{{team.name}}
{{team.description}}
edit
</li>
</ul>
<form ng-submit="addTeam()">
<input type="text" ng-model="team.name" size="30" placeholder="add new team here">
<input type="text" ng-model="team.description" size="30" placeholder="add new team here">
<input class="btn-primary" type="submit" value="add">
</form>
</div>
And here is my edit.html code, which displays an edit form :
<div ng-controller="EditCtrl">
<form ng-submit="editTeam()">
<input type="text" name="name" ng-model="team.name" size="30" placeholder="edit team here">
<input type="text" name="description" ng-model="team.description" size="30" placeholder="edit team here">
<input class="btn-primary" type="submit" value="validate edit">
</form>
</div>
And finally my js code:
var app = angular.module('app', ['mongolabResource']);
app.constant('API_KEY', '____________________________');
app.constant('DB_NAME', 'groups');
app.factory('Teams', function ($mongolabResource) {
return $mongolabResource('teams');
});
app.controller('AppCtrl', function ($scope, Teams) {
$scope.teams = Teams.query();
$scope.addTeam = function() {
varteam = {
name: $scope.team.name,
description: $scope.team.description
};
$scope.teams.push(varteam);
Teams.save($scope.team);
$scope.team.name = '';
$scope.team.description = '';
};
});
app.controller('EditCtrl', function ($scope, Teams) {
//????????
});
My AppCtrl works perfecty, it displays the data w add records perfectly.
Now i want to add the js code for the edit, but i don't even know form where to start ? how do i a get the id parameter in the url ? how do i tell the view to fill out the form fields from the values from the database ? And finally how do i update the databse.
I know that i asked a lot of question but i'm really lost! thank you
There are of course many possible solutions.
One solution is to use angularjs routing. See http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_07 for a tutorial.
Basically replace your ul list with something like:
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="team in teams">
{{team.name}}
{{team.description}}
edit
</li>
</ul>
Then you can create a route that responde to your url:
yourApp.config(['$routeProvider',
function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/teams', {
templateUrl: 'partials/team-list.html',
controller: 'TeamListCtrl'
}).
when('/teams/:teamId', {
templateUrl: 'partials/team-detail.html',
controller: 'TeamDetailCtrl'
}).
otherwise({
redirectTo: '/teams'
});
}]);
In this way from the detail controller (that will replace your EditCtrl) you can access the id parameter using: $routeParams.teamId
Anyway I suggest to study well all the tutorials for a better overview.
I´m working on a meteor example. I get the value of one tag on click event on the link. That value is the same that is present on one collection inside doc "pet" or "zoo". I want to use this value to filter the content present on the template.
A minimal example:
{{#each Animal}}
<div>
<span> {{pet}} </span>
</div>
<div>
<span> {{zoo}} </span>
</div>
{{/each}}
After click:
{{#each Animal}}
<div>
<span> {{zoo}} </span>
</div>
{{/each}}
On this case when I get the value present in "zoo" I just want to update the template with all the the spans that contains elements on doc zoo, and that all related to pet dissappear.
The query to mongodb is working perfectly, my problem is that I´m a little bit confused.
Should I use helpers?
Thank you so much.
Let's see if I understood correctly your problem.
You should use a Session variable where you store the action you are doing. Then add a template if and print inside of this tag whatever you want to show at that time.
Let's do a minimal example:
<template name="showAnimalsTemplate">
{{if showAnimals}}
{{#each Animal}}
<div>
<span> {{pet}} </span>
</div>
<div>
<span> {{zoo}} </span>
</div>
{{/each}}
{{/if}}
{{if showZoo}}
{{#each Animal}}
<div>
<span> {{zoo}} </span>
</div>
{{/each}}
{{/if}}
Following this example, you add in the client javascript something like this:
Template.showAnimalsTemplate.showAnimals = function(){
if( Session.get('action') == 'showingTheZoo')
return true;
return false;
}
Template.showAnimalsTemplate.showZoo = function(){
if( Session.get('action') == 'showingTheZoo')
return true;
return false;
}
Don't forget to set the session value inside the click event.
Session.set('action', 'showingTheZoo');
