I want to develop an application which is getting form data via JSON from an external database. I need to create the form fields and its properties according this dynamic data.
It seemed to me that I need to use the classical way in Titanium instead of alloy because I think I can not add any rows dynamically on the xml (view) side in Alloy. Am I correct or is it also possible to do it in Alloy? If yes can you please tell me how
This can be done. Using this widget https://github.com/albinotonnina/it.numidia.gridWidget I was able to figure out how to create dynamic content in Alloy. Similar to the method used in this widget, I have a controller for each item I want to support. I created a textfield, textarea, label among others. It allows me to still use the Alloy styling and dynamically add the elements to my views.
Here is an example of my textfield controller:
XML
<Alloy>
<TextField id="textfield"/>
</Alloy>
js
function applyProperties(_props){
var apply = {};
_.extend(apply, _.pick(_props, 'left', 'value', 'textAlign', 'font', 'color', 'shadowOff'));
// alert(apply);
$.textfield.applyProperties(apply);
}
exports.getContent = function(){
return $.textfield.value;
};
exports.setContent = function(val){
$.textfield.value = val;
};
if(arguments[0]){
applyProperties(arguments[0]);
}
exports.applyProperties = applyProperties;
The style is completely empty since I'm using the app.tss to style this element.

I need to implement Autocomplete feature in ag grid cell on the table. Is ag provides any options for that. I am just seeing select with options. But my need is to edit the cell and while start typing the values has to display below based the character.
Like you I could not find this feature. I decided to write an Angular component for this purpose and share it.
It has the ability to filter by starting to type, as well as clicking the selection by mouse. Keyboard arrow up and down navigation is also included.
It's a simple component and should be quite straightforward to edit to your likings, or take the code and implement in JS or a different framework if you are not using Angular. I am having some unfortunate cosmetic issues (primarily on the last column of the grid), which I hopefully can solve soon and then will update the repository.

Edit:
Since my original post, a new project has started and this is not limited to Angular projects:
https://github.com/avallete/ag-grid-autocomplete-editor
You can use a jQuery autocomplete as part of the cell editor. You have to do it in the afterGuiAttached function of the custom editor so it won't run until after your input has been created.
// function to act as a class
function YourCustomEditor () {}
// gets called once before the renderer is used
YourCustomEditor.prototype.init = function(params) {
this.eInput = document.createElement('input');
this.eInput.setAttribute('class', 'inputClass');
this.eInput.setAttribute('type', 'text');
}
};
YourCustomEditor.prototype.afterGuiAttached = function() {
$('.inputClass').autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
// Do your autocomplete filtering here
},
datatype: 'json',
select: function(event, ui) {
// Do Stuff on select
}
});
this.eInput.focus();
};
Normally when using SAP UI5, we use the following code
this.appContent.placeAt('content');
This will render the content element.
But I just want the html of appContent UI5 control without rendering it. How to do that?
The reason I want to do it is because I want to use sap.ui.template to build a carousel and I want to add get raw HTML of UI5 control and add it as a string to a template instead of rendering it directly.
Assuming this.appContent is a control, then after the contol has been rendered just call
var $domRef = this.appContent.$():
or getDomRef() (visibility is protected!)
var domRef = this.appContent.getDomRef():
Be aware when to call this after the control has been rendered, i.e. like this:
this.appContent.addEventDelegate({
onAfterRendering : function(oEvent){
var $domRef = oEvent.srcControl.$();
// now do something
}
});
this.appContent.placeAt('content');
However, I would try to avoid using placeAt.
OOTB Tag has multi select functionality, Is it possible to create single select Tag in Touch UI? If yes, can you point me which js file I need to modify?
The cq:tags property is rendered by CUI.TagList widget that can be found within /etc/clientlibs/granite/coralui2/js/coral.js script.
Reading it you can learn that the widget raises itemadded event which might be helpful for you to handle the singular tag handling. An example function that can catch the event might be placed in any clientlibs that will be attached to the admin interface such as cq.authoring.dialog clientlib.
$('*[data-fieldname="./cq:tags"]').on('itemadded', function(ev, value) {
var el = $(ev.target),
div = el.siblings('div'),
input = div.find('input'),
button = div.find('button');
input.prop('disabled', true);
button.remove();
}
To have the fully functional flow you need to handle the itemremoved event as well and make the input field enabled again as well as add the button back to the widget.
I made a combobox using sap.m library:
var oSelection = new sap.m.ComboBox({
name: <name>,
id: <id>,
items: {
<items here>
})
},
});
Now, how do I make this field kind of read only, so when I tap it on mobile, it wouldn't bring up the mobile's keyboard, but it would bring up the selection options?
I've tried to use editable: false, but it disables the selection together with keyboard.
Thank you.
From what I could find out there's no method that allows such behaviour.
One option, that I personally would not advice, is to access the HTML DOM and disable the input field that composes the sap.m.Combobox component.
Keep in mind that if the development SAPUI5 changes the inner workings of the Combobox component your code could be broken if you update the SAPUI5 libraries.
This being said, to use this option you could do something like:
oSelection.onAfterRendering = function() {
if (sap.m.ComboBox.prototype.onAfterRendering) {
sap.m.ComboBox.prototype.onAfterRendering.apply(this);
}
document.getElementById("<id>-inner").disabled=true;
}
replace the < id>-inner by the correct id given to your component.
This was tested using version 1.22.8 of SAPUI5 development toolkit.
Use sap.m.Select instead of sap.m.ComboBox.
Select does not provide the ability to edit the field content.
In many instances the Select control can directly replace a ComboBox without any other changes to the properties or the items aggregation!
I've seen heaps of questions about this, and all of them seem to be solved by either calling $scope.$apply(), $scope.$digest(), or by triggering the change() method on the input. But I can't seem to get it working with any of those methods. In this fiddle, I can type a name into the box and get the model value to update as I type. But when I click the link, to set the input name to a certain value, I want the model name to update. What do I need to do?
The reason I'm trying to do this is I want to be able to refresh my angular model when a user autofills the form, using the browser autofill or LastPass or similar. Surely there's some angular command to refresh the model from the DOM?
http://jsfiddle.net/PXCUq/
$(function () {
$('#setFirstName').click(function () {
$('input.firstname').val('Test Name');
angular.element($('input.firstname')[0]).scope().$apply();
// Model still not updated
});
});
Get the scope, then change the ng-model property:
$('#setFirstName').click(function() {
var scope = angular.element($('input').get(0)).scope()
scope.firstname = 'Test Name';
scope.$apply();
});
You can come up with a better jQuery selector. I was only focusing on the Angular part.
Fiddle.
