i have two seperate viewmodels in a page
function AModel() {
...
}
function BModel() {
...
self.testValue= ko.observable('test')
}
$(document).ready(function() {
var AModel1= new AModel();
var BModel1= new BModel();
ko.applyBindings(AModel1);
ko.applyBindings(BModel1);
});
now in html page
how do i make it work?
<span data-bind="text: BModel1.testValue" ></span>
You should not call ko.applyBindings multiple times on the same DOM element, this can lead to problems or to an exceptions since KO 2.3.
What you can do is to create one "wrapper" viewmodel and call ko.applyBindings with it:
$(document).ready(function() {
var AModel1= new AModel();
var BModel1= new BModel();
ko.applyBindings({ AModel1: AModel1, BModel1: BModel1 });
});
Then you can use your view:
<span data-bind="text: BModel1.testValue" ></span>

as I'm on my Vue spree (started recently but so far I'm really enjoying learning this framework) couple of questions rised up. One of which is how to post form from multiple components. So before I continue forward I wanted to ask you what are you thinking about this way of structuring and point me in right direction if I'm wrong.
Here it goes.
I'm working on a SPA project using ASP.NET CORE 2.1 and Vue JS Template (with webpack)(https://github.com/MarkPieszak/aspnetcore-Vue-starter) and my project is structured in several containers, something like this:
In my app-root i registered several containers
<template>
<div id="app" class="container">
<app-first-container></app-first-container>
<app-second-container></app-second-container>
<!--<app-third-container></app-third-container>-->
<app-calculate-container></app-calculate-container>
<app-result-container></app-result-container>
</div>
</template>
<script>
// imported templates
import firstContainer from './first-container'
import secondContainer from './second-container'
import calculateContainer from './calculateButton-container'
//import thirdContainer from './third-container'
import resultContainer from './result-container'
export default {
components: {
'app-first-container': firstContainer,
'app-second-container': secondContainer,
// 'app-third-container': thirdContainer,
'app-calculate-container': calculateContainer,
'app-result-container': resultContainer
}
}
</script>
In my first container I'm having several dropdowns and two input fields with my script file where I'm fetching data from API and filling dropdowns and input fields with fetched data.
Something like this ( entered some dummy code for demonstration)
<template>
<div>
<h1>Crops table</h1>
<p>This component demonstrates fetching data from the server. {{dataMessage}}</p>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<label for="exampleFormControlSelect1" class="col-form-label-sm font-weight-bold">1. Some text</label>
<select class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlSelect1" v-model="pickedCropType" #change="getCropsByType()">
<option v-for="(cropType, index) in cropTypes" :key="index" :value="cropType.id" :data-imagesrc="cropType.imgPath">{{ cropType.name }}</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<label for="exampleFormControlSelect2" class="col-form-label-sm font-weight-bold">2. Some text</label>
<select class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlSelect2">
<option v-for="(crop, index) in cropSelectList" :key="index" :value="crop.id">{{ crop.name }}</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { mapActions, mapState } from 'vuex'
export default {
data() {
return {
cropTypes: null,
cropSelectList: null,
crops: null,
pickedCropType: null,
}
},
methods: {
loadPage: async function () {
try {
//Get crop types and create a new array with crop types with an added imgPath property
var cropTypesFinal = [];
let responseCropTypes = await this.$http.get(`http://localhost:8006/api/someData`);
responseCropTypes.data.data.forEach(function (element) {
cropTypesFinal.push(tmpType);
});
} catch (err) {
window.alert(err)
console.log(err)
}
},
getCropsByType: async function () {
//Get crops by crop type
let responseCrops = await this.$http.get(`http://localhost:8006/api/crop/Type/${this.pickedCropType}`);
var responseCropsData = responseCrops.data.data;
this.cropSelectList = responseCropsData;
}
},
async created() {
this.loadPage()
}
}
</script>
And in my second container I have different dropdowns and different input fields with different scripts etc.
So, my questions are:
1.) I'm having required data form field in first container and in second container I'm having additional data and my submit button is separated in third container (app-result-container). So, is this proper and logical way of structuring containers if not can you point me in right direction?
2.) Is it smart to input script tag in every container where I'm processing/fetching/submitting some data for that particular container? Should I put scripts tag in separated file and keep structure clean, separating html from js file.
Example:
import { something } from 'something'
export default {
data () {
return {
someData: 'Hello'
}
},
methods: {
consoleLogData: function (event) {
Console.log(this.someData)
}
}
}
3.) Can I send input values from one container to another (In my particular case from first and second container to app-calculate-container(third container))?
How to on submit return results container with calculated imported values
If you want components to communicate or share data with one another, you will need to either emit an event from one component up to the parent and pass it down via props, or use some kind of state management model, like Vuex, where each of your components can listen to the store.
Take a look at this code sandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/8144oy7xy2
App.vue
<template>
<div id="app">
<child-input #input="updateName" />
<child-output :value="name" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import ChildInput from "#/components/ChildInput.vue";
import ChildOutput from "#/components/ChildOutput.vue";
export default {
name: "App",
components: {
ChildInput,
ChildOutput
},
data() {
return {
name: ""
};
},
methods: {
updateName(e) {
this.name = e.target.value;
}
}
};
</script>
ChildInput.vue
<template>
<input type="text" #input="changeHandler">
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "ChildInput",
methods: {
changeHandler(e) {
this.$emit("input", e);
}
}
};
</script>
ChildOutput.vue
<template>
<p>{{ value }}</p>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: "ChildOutput",
props: {
value: {
type: String,
default: ""
}
}
};
</script>
What's going on?
The ChildInput component is a text field and on every change inside it, fires an event (emits using this.$emit() and passes the whole event up).
When this fires, App is listening to the change, which fires a method that updates the name data property.
Because name is a reactive data property and is being passed down as a prop to the ChildOutput component, the screen re-renders and is updated with the text written.
Neither ChildInput nor ChildOutput knows about one another. It's the parent that listens to the event passed to it, then passes the new prop down.
This way of working is fine and simple to understand, but I would strongly recommend looking at Vuex, as this method can get messy and complicated when you go beyond trivial tasks.
Using JavaScript Use-Api I am able to create a custom object and return it to a html file. This feature allows me to create a list of custom objects, which can be used to create a menu or other complex list-like component.
Let's assume that I have following content structure:
/content
/project
/homepage
/contentpage1
/contentpage1.1
/contentpage1.2
/contentpage1.3 (hidden)
/contentpage2
/contentpage1.1 (hidden)
/contentpage1.2 (hidden)
/contentpage1.3 (hidden)
/contentpage3
/contentpage4
Menu should contains only first-level contentpages. Each menu item should have dropdown list with second-level contentpages, if they exist and are not hidden. I can do it in JavaScript with the following code:
"use strict";
use(function() {
function getMenuItems() {
var currentPageDepth = currentPage.getDepth();
var menuObjects = [];
if(currentPageDepth >= 3) {
var homePage = currentPage.getAbsoluteParent(2);
var list = homePage.listChildren();
while(list.hasNext()) {
var tempPage = list.next()
var customPageObject = createMenuItemObject(tempPage);
menuObjects.push(customPageObject);
}
}
return menuObjects;
}
function createMenuItemObject(page) {
// ...
// looking for any other properties of page or its children
// ...
return {page: page,
visibleChildrenExists: visibleChildrenExists(page)};
}
function visibleChildrenExists(page) {
var list = page.listChildren();
var visibleChildrenExists = false;
while(list.hasNext()) {
var subPage = list.next();
if(!subPage.isHideInNav()) {
visibleChildrenExists = true;
break;
}
}
return visibleChildrenExists;
}
return {
menuObjectsList: getMenuItems(),
};
}
HTML:
<headerComponent data-sly-use.headerComponentJS="headerComponent.js" data-sly-unwrap />
<menuItems data-sly-list.menuItem="${headerComponentJS.menuObjectsList}" data-sly-unwrap >
<li class='${menuItem.visibleChildrenExists ? "" : "direct"}' data-sly-test="${!menuItem.page.hideInNav}">
${menuItem.page.title}
<ul data-sly-test="${menuItem.visibleChildrenExists}" data-sly-list.submenuItem="${menuItem.page.listChildren}">
<li data-sly-test="${!submenuItem.hideInNav}">
${submenuItem.title}
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</menuItems>
Why do I want to use Java Use-Api? It's easier to operate on interfaces like Resource or Node. It looks like it does not work pretty well in JavaScript, but I need to have possibility to return custom objects with multiple properties.
The question is: is it even possible to do something similar using Java Use-Api? What do I have to return? I can't return a map, because it won't be possible to access its elements since it's not possible to pass a parameter to Java Use-Api method... Any suggestion?
It is possible to return maps using the java-use api see an example below:
Method in the Java class
//Return a map
public Map<String, String> getTestMap() {
//TODO some coding
Map<String,String> testMap = new HasMap<String,String>();
testMap.put("IDA", "test value");
testMap.put("IDB", "test value 2");
return testMap;
}
HTML code to access each element of the map:
<div data-sly-use.param="JavaClass">
<div data-sly-test.map="${param.testMap}">
<div class="pos">
<span class="classA">${map['IDA']}</span><br>
<span class="classB">${map['IDB']}</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I am using Kendo UI Grid and I have configured it to use popup editing with custom template
<script id="popup_editor" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<div id="editor">
<div class="k-edit-label">
<label for="Type">Type</label>
</div>
<select data-role="dropdownlist" data-value-field="Type" data-text-field="Type"
data-bind="source: typeSource, value: selectedProduct"></select>
<div class="k-edit-label">
<label for="Type">Option</label>
</div>
<select data-role="dropdownlist" data-value-field="Option" data-text-field="Option"
data-bind="source: productsSource.Options, value: selectedOption"></select>
</div>
</script>
This is my ViewModel:
function ViewModel() {
var getTypesUrl = "/Controller/Action";
var viewModel = kendo.observable({
typeSource: new kendo.data.DataSource({
transport: {
read: {
url: getConditionTypesUrl,
dataType: "json"
},
},
batch: true,
schema: {
model: {
id: "Type"
}
}
}),
selectedType: null,
selectedOption: null
});
kendo.bind($("#editor"), viewModel);
}
ViewModel();
My action returns JSON.
The problem is that when I click on the "Add new record" button, there is no call to the getTypesUrl and the dropdownlist is not populated. The general idea is to have different options for different types and to populate the Option dropdownlist depending on the selected type. I believe, that the problem occurs because the editor is showed only when the button is clicked and the kendo can not create the bindings.
If the Drop down list is the same for each row get its values from the Data Source and store these in a variable in the page in JavaScript and point the Drop Down list at this new Data Source. Use some JavaScript to associate the id and name.
Alternatively if this is loaded based on some other logic implement a separate call to populate the Data source for the drop down list in your view model.

Further note your can write your template purely in JavaScript and bind this to the html, advantage of which is you can debug it and it can still be loaded by an ajax call later and it is likely going to be smaller.
I have an array in my View Model. Items of this array are objects of Person that has two properties. when I bind this to a template it's okay. but when I change the state of one of the properties it does not reflect in UI.
what did I do wrong ?
<script type="text/html" id="person-template">
<p>Name: <span data-bind="text: name"></span></p>
<p>
Is On Facebook ?
<input type="checkbox" data-bind="checked: IsOnFacebook" />
</p>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var ppl = [
{ name: 'Pouyan', IsOnFacebook: ko.observable(true) },
{ name: 'Reza', IsOnFacebook: ko.observable(false) }
];
function MyViewModel() {
this.people = ko.observableArray(ppl),
this.toggle = function () {
for (var i = 0; i < ppl.length; i++) {
ppl[i].IsOnFacebook = false;
}
}
}
ko.applyBindings(new MyViewModel());
</script>
when I press the button I want to make changes in People.IsOnFacebook property. the changes will be made successfully but the UI does not show.
You should call it like a function. Like:
ppl[i].IsOnFacebook(false);
This because the ko.observable() returns a function. It's not a property you call anymore but a function call. So in the background they will update your UI. To retreive a property that is observable. You should also use the function call.

I have the following situation (using KendoUI):
I have a grid binded to a datasource.
When I select a row in the grid I invoke its "change" event to get the selected dataItem e show its values through other HTML elements.
Something like the following:
$("grid-element").kendoGrid({
change: setElements
});
function setElements() {
var grid = $("#grid-element").data("kendoGrid");
var selectedItem = grid.dataItem(grid.select());
$("#span-field1").text(selectedItem.field1);
$("#span-field2").text(selectedItem.field2);
$("#span-field3").text(selectedItem.field3);
}
My question is: is it possibile to achieve the same through MVVM or a better KendoUI model binding solution?
So far I have found the following solution:
=== JAVASCRIPT ===
var vm = kendo.observable({
gridSelectedItem: null,
_field1: function() {
return this.get("gridSelectedItem.field1");
},
_field2: function() {
return this.get("gridSelectedItem.field2");
}
});
$("#grid-element").kendoGrid({
change: function(e) {
var selectedItem = this.dataItem(this.select());
vm.set("gridSelectedItem", selectedItem);
}
});
=== HTML ===
<span data-bind="text: _field1"></span>
<span data-bind="text: _field2"></span>
Is there a better way?
Indeed there you are on the right track,
Here is what I can suggest you to try:
=== JAVASCRIPT ===
var vm = kendo.observable({
gridSelectedItem: null
});
$("#grid-element").kendoGrid({
change: function(e) {
var selectedItem = this.dataItem(this.select());
vm.set("gridSelectedItem", selectedItem);
}
});
=== HTML ===
<span data-bind="text: gridSelectedItem.field1"></span>
<span data-bind="text: gridSelectedItem.field2"></span>
It should be slightly more compact.
