Scala and play novice here, what's the scope of #?
<ul>
#list.map( x => {
<li> {x.name} </li>
})
</ul>
Gives me the list of names,
<ul>
#list.map( x => {
<li> x.name </li>
})
</ul>
Gives me the "x.name" string repeated in a list.
<ul>
#list.map( x => {
<li> #x.name </li>
})
</ul>
Gives me #x.name string repeated in a list.
So it tells me that x.name isn't considered an expression, but when I use # to make it a Scala expression, the # is dumped as is, and the expression doesn't compute.
Could someone please point me to docs on the scope of #?
Thanks.
From the documentation:
the end of the dynamic statement will be inferred from your code
An example:
Hello #customer.name!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dynamic code
So everything between ul tags in your samples is parsed as scala code.

Relative begginer with Perl, with my first question here, trying the following:
I am trying to retrieve certain information from a large online dataset (Eur-Lex), where each HTML document is well-formed HTML, with constant elements. Each HTML file is identified by its Celex number, which is supplied as the argument to the script (see my Perl code below).
The HTML data looks like this (showing only the part I'm interested in):
<!--

<still more stuff here>

I am interested in the info contained in "PPClass_Contents" div id, which consists of 3 elements:
- EUROVOC descriptor:
- Subject matter:
- Directory code:
Based on the above HTML, I would like to get the children of those 3 main elements, using Perl and Mojo, getting the result similar to this (single line text file, 3 groups separated by tabs, multiple child elements within a grup are separated by pipe characters, something like this:
CELEX_No "TAB" descriptor_1|descriptor_2|descriptor_3|descriptor_4|..|descriptor_n "TAB" Subject_1|..|Subject_n "TAB" Designation_level_1|Designation_level_2|Designation_level_3|..|Designation_level_n
"descriptors", "Subjects" and "Designation_levels" elements (children of those 3 main groups) can be from 1 to "n", the number is not fixed, and is not known in advance.
I have the following code, which does print out the plain text of the interesting part, but I need to address the individual elements and print them out in a new file as described above:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# returns "Classification" descriptors for given CELEX and Language
use strict;
use warnings;
use Mojo::UserAgent;
if ($#ARGV ne "1") {
print "Wrong number of arguments!\n";
print "Syntax: clookup.pl Lang_ID celex_No.\n";
exit -1;
}
my $lang = $ARGV[0];
my $celex = $ARGV[1];
my $lclang = lc $lang;
# fetch the eurlex page
my $ua = Mojo::UserAgent->new;
my $dom = $ua->get("https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/$lang/ALL/?uri=CELEX:$celex")->res->dom;
################ let's extract interesting parts:
my $text = $dom->at('#PPClass_Contents')->all_text;
print "$text\n";
EDIT (added):
You can try my Perl script using two arguments:
lang_code ("DE","EN","IT", etc.)
Celex number (e.g.: E2014C0303, 52015BP2212, 52015BP0930(48), 52015BP0930(36), 52015BP0930(41), E2014C0302, E2014C0301, E2014C0271, E2014C0134).
For example (if you name my script "clookup.pl"):
$ perl clookup.pl EN E2014C0303
So, how can I address individual elements (of unknown number) as described above, using Mojo::DOM?
Or, is there something simpler or faster (using Perl)?
You are on the right track. First, you need to understand the HTML inside your #PPClass_Contents. Each set of things is in a definition list. Since you only care about the definition texts, you can search directly for the <dd> elements.
$dom->at('#PPClass_Contents')->find('dd')
This will give you a Mojo::Collection, which you can iterate with ->each. We pass that an anonymous function, pretty much like a callback.
$dom->at('#PPClass_Contents')->find('dd')->each(sub {
$_; # this is the current element
});
Each element will be passed to that sub, and can be referenced using the topic variable $_. There is an <ul> inside, and each <li> contains a <span> element with the text you want. So let's find those.
$_->find('span')
We can directly build the column in your output at this stage. Let's use the other form of ->each, which turns the Mojo::Collection returned from ->find into a normal Perl list. We can then use a regular map operation to grab each <span>'s text node and join that into a string.
join '|', map { $_->text } $_->find('span')->each
To tie all that together, we declare an array outside this construct, and stick the $celex number in it as the first column.
my #columns = ($celex);
$dom->at('#PPClass_Contents')->find('dd')->each(sub {
push #columns, join '|', map { $_->text } $_->find('span')->each;
});
Producing the final tab-separated output is now trivial.
print join "\t", #columns;
I've done this with EN as the language and the $celex number 32006L0121, which the search used in its example tooltip. The result is this:
32006L0121 marketing standard|chemical product|approximation of laws|dangerous substance|scientific report|packaging|European Chemicals Agency|labelling Internal market - Principles|Approximation of laws|Technical barriers|Environment|Consumer protection Industrial policy and internal market|Internal market: approximation of laws|Dangerous substances
Can I execute that line of code
nav = request().path().toString()
inside of scala template like index.scala.html
I would like to have that code to check on witch side is user and to mark it on menu
using code like this in main.scala.html:
<li class="#("active".when(nav == "contact"))">
Contacts
</li>
I would recommend you different approach, create tag - resuable template, which takes Integer as an argument,
it will render menu and mark as an active different menuitem depends on value.
#(menuItem: Int)
<ul >
<li #if(menuItem==1){ class="active" } >
////
</li>
<li #if(menuItem==2){ class="active" }>
</li>
<li #if(menuItem==3){ class="active" }>
///
</li>
</ul>
from your contact page and any other page, call this tag with corresponding value, #views.html.tags.menu(1)
You can define variables like that if that is your question. If it is not your question than please try to explain your problem in more detail.
#nav = { #request().path().toString() }
I would like to generate ID's for an HTML list.
The list is generated dynamically from the database.
I cant use a for loop or the list.zipWithIndex function because my logic contains a few loops for the generation of the list already, in which the counter needs to be incremented too. I also tried it with the defining function, but its not allowed to reasign values like this: #{id = id + 1}
Whats the best way to accomplish the generation of Id's?
Thats part of the template (uniqueId needs to be replaced with an integer):
<div id="tree">
<ul>
<li id="uniqueId">
<a class="dashboard" href="/">Dashboard</a>
</li>
<li id="uniqueId">
<b>Products</b>
<ul id="uniqueId">
#for(cat <- Application.allCategories()) {
<li id="uniqueId">
<a class="name" href="#routes.Categories.getd(cat.id).url">#cat.name</a>
<ul>
#for(prod <- Application.allProducts()) {
<li id="uniqueId">
<a class="name" href="#routes.Product.getById(prod.id).url">#prod.name</a>
</li>
#*more code and the closing tags...*#
Use just ... object's id prefixed to make it unique, example for first listing:
#for(cat <- Application.allCategories()) {
<li id="cat_#cat.id">
for second:
#for(prod <- Application.allProducts()) {
<li id="prod_#prod.id">
or if the same product can be displayed in several categories prefix it with cat.id as well:
#for(cat <- Application.allCategories()) {
<li id="cat_#cat.id">
#for(prod <- Application.allProducts()) {
<li id="prod_#(cat.id)_#(prod.id)">
I am a Java developer who recently started to learn about the Play Framework. I have been trying to get the below template working but cant seem to get it. I have got the following in my Scala template
#navItem(label: String, link1: String) = {
#{if (Application.isAuthenticated()) {
<li class="active">
label
</li>
}
else {
<li class="disabled">
{label}
</li>
}
}
}
I am calling this later in my template like so
<ul class="nav">
#navItem("Search Documents", "/search")
</ul>
The generated link has href as localhost:9000/#link1 instead of localhost:9000/search. I am not sure whats going on.
PS: If I change my template as below it works fine. But I want to understand why the above template wont work.
#navItem(label: String, link1: String) = {
<li class="#(if (Application.isAuthenticated()) "active" else "disabled")">
#label
</li>
}
Not quite sure about this, but my guess would be the following: The #{ ... } indicates the beginning of a dynamic statement and all of its content is treated as Scala code. Thus, it is a normal if-condition with two strings as a result, both of which are simply returned in the template.
Why are you marking it as a multi-line code block anyway? Have you tried it like this? (note the missing curly braces after the 2nd # sign):
#navItem(label: String, link1: String) = {
#if(Application.isAuthenticated()) {
<li class="active">
#label
</li>
} else {
<li class="disabled">
#label
</li>
}
}
I want to create a variable called style and assign its value
based on the value of the input parameter #filter
I read the play's documentation, but the current solution I can get
it works is something like: which the list template part is duplicated...
#(filter: String = "error")(body: (String) => Html)
#filter match {
case "HOT" => {
<ul class="list">
<li class="icon-hot">this is a list item..</li>
<li class="icon-hot">this is a list item..</li>
</ul>
}
case "NEW" => {
<ul class="list">
<li class="icon-new">this is a list item..</li>
<li class="icon-new">this is a list item..</li>
</ul>
}
}
How do I assign "icon-new" & "icon-hot" to a variable #style and use it latter when writing the list template like this?
<ul class="list">
<li class="#style">this is a list item..</li>
<li class="#style">this is a list item..</li>
</ul>
This seems to work...
in style.scala.html
#(filter: String = "error")(body: (String) => Html)
#filter match {
case "OPEN" => {
#body("icon-plus")
}
case "FOLLOWING" => {
#body("icon-comments")
}
case "HOT" => {
#body("icon-fire")
}
}
And in list template
#(filter: String = "HOT")
#style(filter) { style =>
<ul class="list">
<li class="#style">this is a list item..</li>
<li class="#style">this is a list item..</li>
</ul>
}
but I'm still not very clear how this works...especially the following part:
(body: (String) => Html)
#body("icon-plus")
