Coffeescript best way to var - coffeescript

I was poking around trying to figure a good way to do var, and here's one.. is this intentionally in cs, because it's not documented?
me=;
fetchUser()
.then((_me) =>
me = _me
fetchFriend()
)
.then((_you) =>
me.friend(_you)
)
.then(done)
.otherwise(=>
console.log ':('
)
compiles correctly to
var me;
me = fetchUser().then((function(_this) {
return function(_me) {
me = _me;
return fetchFriend();
};
})(this)).then((function(_this) {
return function(_you) {
return me.friend(_you);
};
})(this)).then(done).otherwise((function(_this) {
return function() {
return console.log(':(');
};
})(this));
Edit: it's not compiling correctly.
I wouldn't expect me = fetchUser() either, but I didn't see that before

I think it's just a quirk of the parser. The normal way variables are declared in order to establish scoping is just by defining them with some default value (e.g. null).

Proper using of question mark (null safety) in flutter

Is it equal in flutter null safety?
if(widget.mapPickerController != null){
widget.mapPickerController!.mapMoving = mapMoving;
widget.mapPickerController!.mapFinishedMoving = mapFinishedMoving;
}
widget.mapPickerController?.mapMoving = mapMoving;
widget.mapPickerController?.mapFinishedMoving = mapFinishedMoving;
Both versions should end up doing the same thing. When null-safety enabled, ?. short-circuits the rest of the expression, so if the receiver is null, the rest of the expression (including the right-hand-side of the assignment) won't be evaluated. You can observe that in the following example:
class Foo {
int value = 0;
}
int bar() {
print('Called bar');
return 42;
}
void main() {
Foo? foo = null;
foo?.value = bar();
}
where running it generates no errors and shows that bar() is never called.
That said, the second version using ?. is much less clear (which is evident from the apparent confusion in the several deleted answers) and therefore probably should be avoided.
The best way would be to introduce a local variable:
final mapPickerController = widget.mapPickerController;
if (mapPickerController != null){
mapPickerController.mapMoving = mapMoving;
mapPickerController.mapFinishedMoving = mapFinishedMoving;
}
and then you don't need to use the null-assertion operator at all, and it's slightly more efficient since you check for null only once.

Access datasource in eventhandlers

The below code is generating errors:
Initialize:
var firstC = ["AUD","ZAR"];
var secondC= ["AUD","BRL","CAD","USD"];
function colorG(item, col, row){
var currency = firstC[col] + "-"+ secondC[row];
if(verifyCurrency(currency)==true)
item.getStyle().backgroundColor="green";
}
function verifyCurrency(currency)
{
if(this.getRowData().getExpressionValue("row[digital]").indexOf(currency)!=-1)
return true;
else return false;
}
cell:
colorG(this,1,0);
In which phase do I have to place verifyCurrency so that it will work?
Your assumption about "this" in your verifyCurrency function is wrong. I don't know Javascript good enough to tell you more about this, but I think that "this" is always defined inside a function. But it is not pointing to your item instance!
To fix this (no pun intended), pass the item as an argument to your verifyColor function.

Dart: warning "info: This function has a return type of 'int', but doesn't end with a return statement")

I got a warning on the following piece of code, and I don't know why.
List<Map<String, int>> callNoInfo = [];
int getCallNo(String phoneNo) {
callNoInfo.forEach((item) {
if (item.containsKey(phoneNo)) {
return item[phoneNo];
}
});
return 0;
}
The warning is:
This function has a return type of 'int', but doesn't end with a return statement. (missing_return at [project_name] lib\helper\call_no.dart:35)
Can anyone tell me why this happens? thanks in advance
In the forEach method, you are creating a lambda function without explicitly defining the return type, so Dart is attempting to infer it from the return statements. If we pull the function out of the forEach method, it might help to see what I mean:
...
(item) {
if (item.containsKey(phoneNo)) {
return item[phoneNo];
}
}
...
The function includes a return statement that returns item[phoneNo], which is an int value. Using this, Dart infers that the return type of this lambda function is int. However, now that it knows this, it also notices that if the code execution does not enter the if block, there is no return statement to match the else side of the if condition. If the item object does not contain the key phoneNo, what is the method going to return?
(The answer is that the method will implicitly return null which is why the message is only a warning and not a compiler error, but the warning appears because this probably wasn't intentional by you the developer and also as a nudge to help you make your code less reliant on invisible Dart runtime magicks.)
To fix this, there needs to be another return outside of the if block:
...
(item) {
if (item.containsKey(phoneNo)) {
return item[phoneNo];
}
return 0;
}
...
However, now there's a different problem. The forEach method on lists has the following signature:
forEach(void f(E element)) → void
In fact, there are two problems. First, the method passed as the parameter needs to have a return type of void, and the forEach method itself also has a return type of void. This means that you cannot return values from within the forEach method at all.
The thing about the forEach method is that it is intended to iterate over the collection and process each of the values within it. It's not meant to (and can't) search for a value and return it once it's found. Furthermore, the iteration is exhaustive, meaning once you start it, the method cannot be stopped until each and every element in the collection has been iterated over.
Which is why, as the other answers have pointed out, what you really should be doing is using a for or for in loop:
List<Map<String, int>> callNoInfo = [];
int getCallNo(String phoneNo) {
for(var item in callNoInfo) {
if (item.containsKey(phoneNo)) {
return item[phoneNo];
}
}
return 0;
}
(I'm not sure why you don't get a compiler error for assigning a lambda function with a return value of int to the forEach method which clearly is requesting a one with a void return type. But if I had to guess, I'd say the Dart runtime treats them as compatible and reconciles the difference in return type by simply discarding the return value of the lambda function.)
You don't have an else case for the if statement inside the forEach loop. Even though you might have one at the end, it still is expecting a case everywhere.
List<Map<String, int>> callNoInfo = [];
int getCallNo(String phoneNo) {
callNoInfo.forEach((item) {
if (item.containsKey(phoneNo)) {
return item[phoneNo];
}
// you don't have a case for here since it's in a callback
});
return 0;
}
However, you could do this which uses a for in loop:
List<Map<String, int>> callNoInfo = [];
int getCallNo(String phoneNo) {
for (var item in callNoInfo) {
if (item.containsKey(phoneNo)) {
return item[phoneNo];
}
}
return 0;
}

Search data in Observable

I'd like to have a search input, that display the result on keypress.
At the moment, this is what I have :
mylist: Observable<MyData[]>;
term = new FormControl();
ngOnInit() {
this.mylist = this.term.valueChanges
.debounceTime(400)
.distinctUntilChanged()
.switchMap(term => this.searchData(term));
}
searchData(valueToSearch:string){
if(valueToSearch == ''){
this.channels = MyData.find();
}
return MyData.find({'title':new RegExp(valueToSearch)});
}
It works quite well, but I have trouble to initialize "mylist", and I think my method isn't performant at all.
Basically, I want when my component is initialize, that:
this.mylist = MyData.find();
And on keypress, I want my search to be done on this.mylist, to avoid doing too much request.
Is it possible ?
I hope I'm clear.
Thanks by advance guys.
You must subscribe to the mapped data. Modify to the below code
this.term.valueChanges
.debounceTime(400)
.distinctUntilChanged()
.switchMap(term => this.searchData(term))
.subscribe((result) => {
this.mylist = result
});;
#Julia is correct , modify your searchData() function as below
searchData(valueToSearch:string):Observable<any> {
if(valueToSearch == ''){
this.channels = MyData.find();
}
return <Observable<any>>MyData.find({'title':new RegExp(valueToSearch)});
}

Calling class function within a constructor isn't being recognised

Answer:
It turns out I had neglected to use the new keyword when creating the class instance. The code in the question itself is fine.
Question:
I have a fairly simple class where the constructor calls another method on the class (editor_for_node). The call happens inside a jQuery each() loop, but I've also tried moving it outside.
define ['jquery'], ($) ->
class Editor
constructor: (#node, #data, #template) ->
#node.widgets().each (i, elem) =>
data = if #data then #data[i] else null
node = $(elem)
#editor_for_node node, data
editor_for_node: (node, data) ->
console.log 'hello!'
return {
'Editor': Editor,
}
When the line #editor_for_node node, data gets called, I get an error (in Firebug) saying this.editor_for_node is not a function.
I really can't see why this isn't working properly, the only possible source of weirdness that I can see is my use of require.js's define function at the start.
Edit: Generated output
(function() {
define(['jquery'], function($) {
var Editor;
Editor = (function() {
Editor.name = 'Editor';
function Editor(node, data, template) {
var _this = this;
this.node = node;
this.data = data;
this.template = template;
this.node.widgets().each(function(i, elem) {
data = _this.data ? _this.data[i] : null;
node = $(elem);
return _this.editor_for_node(node, data);
});
}
Editor.prototype.editor_for_node = function(node, data) {
return console.log('hello!');
};
return Editor;
})();
return {
'Editor': Editor
};
});
}).call(this);
First: Which version of CoffeeScript are you using? The fat arrow has been a source of bugs in certain previous releases.
If you're using the latest (1.3.1), then I'm going to go ahead and say that this is an indentation issue. When I copy and paste your code, it works fine. Are you mixing tabs and spaces? Verify that the compiled output contains the line
Editor.prototype.editor_for_node = ...
Update: See the comments on this answer. Turns out the problem was that the new keyword wasn't being used when invoking the constructor.
