I have a large logging and data entry program that receives DataTable object with 1 DataRow. The DataTable have random amount of columns, with random column name and type so i cannot have class for each. Using these DataColumn i get the DataType and build a BsonDocument from scratch out of this.
Here's a short example
public void ParseData(DataTable table)
{
// create the document
var document = new BsonDocument();
// get the only row in the table
var row = table.Rows[0];
// for each column we add the property
foreach (DataColumn column in table.Columns)
{
// create an empty value
BsonValue value = null;
// current column value
var columnValue = row[column.ColumnName];
// set the value based on the datatype
if (column.DataType == typeof(string)) value = new BsonString(columnValue.ToString());
else if (column.DataType == typeof(int)) value = new BsonInt32(Convert.ToInt32(columnValue));
else if (column.DataType == typeof(float)) value = new BsonDouble(Convert.ToDouble(columnValue));
else if (column.DataType == typeof(double)) value = new BsonDouble(Convert.ToDouble(columnValue));
else if (column.DataType == typeof(bool)) value = new BsonBoolean(Convert.ToBoolean(columnValue));
else if (column.DataType == typeof(DateTime)) value = new BsonDateTime(Convert.ToDateTime(columnValue));
// add the element
document.Add(new BsonElement(column.ColumnName, value));
}
// insert the document in the generic collection
InsertDocument(document);
}
As you can see it's pretty simple. I have removed a lot of types in the list as we have many custom types that might pass so i just kept the basic ones. The problem is that i cannot figure out how to force the BsonDateTime to save as local time in the collection. When doing filters with legacy apps it's not working. I need them to be saved as local time. It's never been an issue in the past but because of those legacy apps from the early 90's that still need support i have to figure something out.
I also need to reload them as local time. If i could, i would save them as string but i can't because since all columns are random i do not know when loading if a specific BsonString is really a string or if it's a DateTime. For reloading i must not reload really as local time. I must reload the exact value in the database. I only control the creation of the document. But reading i only control a few one's that will be reading from it that are in C#, Java and C++. The rest are legacy apps that companies doesn't even exist anymore.
I did try to just modify every single date that came in the system to account for UTC and change the date to when saved as UTC it's stored property and filters from legacy apps still works but all of .NET, Java and C++ apps load up the wrong value and not the written value.
Is there a way to just disable UTC in a specific collection or database in MongoDB directly like you can in SQL server ?
MongoDB stores times in UTC and does not have time zone support. You can store any values you like but they will be interpreted as UTC timestamps by most MongoDB-related software.
I am updating sort & filter models via api:
this.gridApi.setFilterModel(filterModels);
this.gridApi.setSortModel(sortModels);
The problem with this is I have a server request bound to the change even of both sort & filter so when user changes then the data is updated. This means when I change model on code like restoring a state or resetting the filters it causes multiple requests.
Is there a way to update the filter/sort model without triggering the event?
I see there is a ColumnEventType parameter but couldn't see how it works. Can I specify some variable that I can look for inside my event handlers to get them to ignore calls that are not generated from user?
I am trying to manage URL state so when url query params change my code sets the models in the grids but this ends up causing the page to reload multiple times because the onFilter and onSort events get called when the model is set and there is no way I can conceive to prevent this.
At the time, you are going to have to manage this yourself, ie, just before you call the setModel, somehow flag this in a shared part of your app (maybe a global variable)
Then when you react to these events, check the estate of this, to guess where it came from.
Note that at the moment, we have added source to the column events, but they are not yet for the model events, we are planning to add them though, but we have no ETA
Hope this helps
I had to solve similar issue. I found solution which working for my kind of situation. Maybe this help someone.
for (let j = 0; j < orders.length; j++) {
const sortModelEntry = orders[j];
if (typeof sortModelEntry.property === 'string') {
const column: Column = this.gridColumnApi.getColumn(sortModelEntry.property);
if (column && ! column.getColDef().suppressSorting) {
column.setSort(sortModelEntry.direction.toLowerCase());
column.setSortedAt(j);
}
}
this.gridApi.refreshHeader();
Where orders is array of key-value object where key is name of column and value is sorting directive (asc/desc).
Set filter without refresh was complicated
for (let j = 0; j < filters.length; j++) {
const filterModelEntry = filters[j];
if (typeof filterModelEntry.property === 'string') {
const column: Column = this.gridColumnApi.getColumn(filterModelEntry.property);
if (column && ! column.getColDef().suppressFilter) {
const filter: any = this.gridApi.getFilterApi(filterModelEntry.property);
filter['filter'] = filterModelEntry.command;
filter['defaultFilter'] = filterModelEntry.command;
filter['eTypeSelector'].value = filterModelEntry.command;
filter['filterValue'] = filterModelEntry.value;
filter['filterText'] = filterModelEntry.value;
filter['eFilterTextField'].value = filterModelEntry.value;
column.setFilterActive(true);
}
}
}
Attributes in filter:
property - name of column
command - filter action (contains, equals, ...)
value - value used in filter
For anyone else looking for a solution to this issue in Nov 2020, tapping into onFilterModified() might help. This gets called before onFilterChanged() so setting a value here (eg. hasUserManuallyChangedTheFilters = false, etc.) and checking the same in the filter changed event is a possible workaround. Although, I haven't found anything similar for onSortChanged() event, one that gets called before the sorting is applied to the grid.
I am not sure any clean way to achieve this but I noticed that FilterChangedEvent has "afterFloatingFilter = false" only if filterModel was updated from ui.
my workaround is as below
onFilterChanged = event:FilterChangedEvent) => {
if(event.afterFloatingFilter === undefined) return;
console.log("SaveFilterModel")
}
I'm new to stackexchange so my apologies if this question is too extensive or already answered somewhere I couldn't find. You can find the spreadsheet here, the script here and the dashboard (dev version) here.
I have been banging my head on handling dates in the google app script visualization for days.
My ultimate goal is to make a dashboard that includes an annotated timeline as well as other charts based on a data set in a spreadsheet. I have started this process using Mogsdad tutorial on creating a 3-tier google visualization dashboard, where the data is pulled from external spreadsheet and then pulled into the DataTable using arrayToDataTable. Everything worked great out of the box. However, my data contains dates, so I added a date column to the original data, but alas arrayToDataTable doesn't accept date type per this post. So when a Date column is added i get the following result:
ScriptError: The script completed but the returned value is not a
supported return type.
I have tried multiple approaches to ensure even date formatting: options includes putting the values in the date column through new Date(dateColumn[i]), dateColumn[i].toJSON() (renders the dash board, but dates aren't able to be processed), forced date formats in the spreadsheet (yyyy-MM-dd), using the DataView outlined in the post above (dashboards don't get past 'Loading'), and such.
So my question is what is the alternatives to arrayToDataTable that will accept date columns in this 3-tier approach? Or alternatively, what are the errors in the below methods?
For all the cases when I have attempted to add columns I have changed the code from var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(response,false) to var data = google.visualization.DataTable()
I have tried the following:
Manually adding columns and manually adding data (not working)
//Add Columns
data.addColumn('string','Name');
data.addColumn('string','Gender');
data.addColumn('number','Age');
data.addColumn('number','Donuts eaten');
data.addColumn('date','Last Donut Eaten');
//Add Rows
data.addRows([
['Miranda','Female', 22,6,6],
['Jessica','Female',22,6,12],
['Aaron','Male',3,1,13]
]);
Automatically adding the rows without dates (The rows are added, but it only works if there are no date columns)
//Add Rows
for (var i=1; i<response.length; i++) {
data.addRow(response[i]);
}
Manually adding columns and automatically adding rows (not working, combination of 1 and 2)
Automatically adding the columns with loops (not working, neither if dates or not)
for (var i=0; i<response[0].length; i++) {
if (response[1][i] instanceof Date) { //Checks if first value is Date
data.addColumn('date',response[0][i]);
};
else if (response[1][i] instanceof Number) //Checks if first value is Number
data.addColum('number',response[0][i]);
else data.addColumn('string',response[0][i]; //Otherwise assume string
};
Thank you so much for your help!
you can use the Query (google.visualization.Query) class to pull the data from the spreadsheet,
this will convert the date column properly...
google.charts.load('current', {
packages:['table']
}).then(function () {
var queryURL = 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aaxYNLCuPz3o3TA1jdryenUP01Qbkdaut4AR5eIhe9s/edit#gid=0';
var query = new google.visualization.Query(queryURL).send(function (response) {
var data = response.getDataTable();
// show column types
for (var i = 0; i < data.getNumberOfColumns(); i++) {
console.log(data.getColumnLabel(i), '=', data.getColumnType(i));
}
// draw table chart
var table = new google.visualization.Table(document.getElementById('chart-table'));
table.draw(data);
});
});
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<div id="chart-table"></div>
note: the example uses jsapi to load the library,
this library should no longer be used.
according to the release notes...
The version of Google Charts that remains available via the jsapi loader is no longer being updated consistently. Please use the new gstatic loader.js from now on.
this will only change the load statement, see above snippet...
I'm trying to test out Firebase to allow users to post comments using push. I want to display the data I retrieve with the following;
fbl.child('sell').limit(20).on("value", function(fbdata) {
// handle data display here
}
The problem is the data is returned in order of oldest to newest - I want it in reversed order. Can Firebase do this?
Since this answer was written, Firebase has added a feature that allows ordering by any child or by value. So there are now four ways to order data: by key, by value, by priority, or by the value of any named child. See this blog post that introduces the new ordering capabilities.
The basic approaches remain the same though:
1. Add a child property with the inverted timestamp and then order on that.
2. Read the children in ascending order and then invert them on the client.
Firebase supports retrieving child nodes of a collection in two ways:
by name
by priority
What you're getting now is by name, which happens to be chronological. That's no coincidence btw: when you push an item into a collection, the name is generated to ensure the children are ordered in this way. To quote the Firebase documentation for push:
The unique name generated by push() is prefixed with a client-generated timestamp so that the resulting list will be chronologically-sorted.
The Firebase guide on ordered data has this to say on the topic:
How Data is Ordered
By default, children at a Firebase node are sorted lexicographically by name. Using push() can generate child names that naturally sort chronologically, but many applications require their data to be sorted in other ways. Firebase lets developers specify the ordering of items in a list by specifying a custom priority for each item.
The simplest way to get the behavior you want is to also specify an always-decreasing priority when you add the item:
var ref = new Firebase('https://your.firebaseio.com/sell');
var item = ref.push();
item.setWithPriority(yourObject, 0 - Date.now());
Update
You'll also have to retrieve the children differently:
fbl.child('sell').startAt().limitToLast(20).on('child_added', function(fbdata) {
console.log(fbdata.exportVal());
})
In my test using on('child_added' ensures that the last few children added are returned in reverse chronological order. Using on('value' on the other hand, returns them in the order of their name.
Be sure to read the section "Reading ordered data", which explains the usage of the child_* events to retrieve (ordered) children.
A bin to demonstrate this: http://jsbin.com/nonawe/3/watch?js,console
Since firebase 2.0.x you can use limitLast() to achieve that:
fbl.child('sell').orderByValue().limitLast(20).on("value", function(fbdataSnapshot) {
// fbdataSnapshot is returned in the ascending order
// you will still need to order these 20 items in
// in a descending order
}
Here's a link to the announcement: More querying capabilities in Firebase
To augment Frank's answer, it's also possible to grab the most recent records--even if you haven't bothered to order them using priorities--by simply using endAt().limit(x) like this demo:
var fb = new Firebase(URL);
// listen for all changes and update
fb.endAt().limit(100).on('value', update);
// print the output of our array
function update(snap) {
var list = [];
snap.forEach(function(ss) {
var data = ss.val();
data['.priority'] = ss.getPriority();
data['.name'] = ss.name();
list.unshift(data);
});
// print/process the results...
}
Note that this is quite performant even up to perhaps a thousand records (assuming the payloads are small). For more robust usages, Frank's answer is authoritative and much more scalable.
This brute force can also be optimized to work with bigger data or more records by doing things like monitoring child_added/child_removed/child_moved events in lieu of value, and using a debounce to apply DOM updates in bulk instead of individually.
DOM updates, naturally, are a stinker regardless of the approach, once you get into the hundreds of elements, so the debounce approach (or a React.js solution, which is essentially an uber debounce) is a great tool to have.
There is really no way but seems we have the recyclerview we can have this
query=mCommentsReference.orderByChild("date_added");
query.keepSynced(true);
// Initialize Views
mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
mManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getContext());
// mManager.setReverseLayout(false);
mManager.setReverseLayout(true);
mManager.setStackFromEnd(true);
mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mManager);
I have a date variable (long) and wanted to keep the newest items on top of the list. So what I did was:
Add a new long field 'dateInverse'
Add a new method called 'getDateInverse', which just returns: Long.MAX_VALUE - date;
Create my query with: .orderByChild("dateInverse")
Presto! :p
You are searching limitTolast(Int x) .This will give you the last "x" higher elements of your database (they are in ascending order) but they are the "x" higher elements
if you got in your database {10,300,150,240,2,24,220}
this method:
myFirebaseRef.orderByChild("highScore").limitToLast(4)
will retrive you : {150,220,240,300}
In Android there is a way to actually reverse the data in an Arraylist of objects through the Adapter. In my case I could not use the LayoutManager to reverse the results in descending order since I was using a horizontal Recyclerview to display the data. Setting the following parameters to the recyclerview messed up my UI experience:
llManager.setReverseLayout(true);
llManager.setStackFromEnd(true);
The only working way I found around this was through the BindViewHolder method of the RecyclerView adapter:
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
final SuperPost superPost = superList.get(getItemCount() - position - 1);
}
Hope this answer will help all the devs out there who are struggling with this issue in Firebase.
Firebase: How to display a thread of items in reverse order with a limit for each request and an indicator for a "load more" button.
This will get the last 10 items of the list
FBRef.child("childName")
.limitToLast(loadMoreLimit) // loadMoreLimit = 10 for example
This will get the last 10 items. Grab the id of the last record in the list and save for the load more functionality. Next, convert the collection of objects into and an array and do a list.reverse().
LOAD MORE Functionality: The next call will do two things, it will get the next sequence of list items based on the reference id from the first request and give you an indicator if you need to display the "load more" button.
this.FBRef
.child("childName")
.endAt(null, lastThreadId) // Get this from the previous step
.limitToLast(loadMoreLimit+2)
You will need to strip the first and last item of this object collection. The first item is the reference to get this list. The last item is an indicator for the show more button.
I have a bunch of other logic that will keep everything clean. You will need to add this code only for the load more functionality.
list = snapObjectAsArray; // The list is an array from snapObject
lastItemId = key; // get the first key of the list
if (list.length < loadMoreLimit+1) {
lastItemId = false;
}
if (list.length > loadMoreLimit+1) {
list.pop();
}
if (list.length > loadMoreLimit) {
list.shift();
}
// Return the list.reverse() and lastItemId
// If lastItemId is an ID, it will be used for the next reference and a flag to show the "load more" button.
}
I'm using ReactFire for easy Firebase integration.
Basically, it helps me storing the datas into the component state, as an array. Then, all I have to use is the reverse() function (read more)
Here is how I achieve this :
import React, { Component, PropTypes } from 'react';
import ReactMixin from 'react-mixin';
import ReactFireMixin from 'reactfire';
import Firebase from '../../../utils/firebaseUtils'; // Firebase.initializeApp(config);
#ReactMixin.decorate(ReactFireMixin)
export default class Add extends Component {
constructor(args) {
super(args);
this.state = {
articles: []
};
}
componentWillMount() {
let ref = Firebase.database().ref('articles').orderByChild('insertDate').limitToLast(10);
this.bindAsArray(ref, 'articles'); // bind retrieved data to this.state.articles
}
render() {
return (
<div>
{
this.state.articles.reverse().map(function(article) {
return <div>{article.title}</div>
})
}
</div>
);
}
}
There is a better way. You should order by negative server timestamp. How to get negative server timestamp even offline? There is an hidden field which helps. Related snippet from documentation:
var offsetRef = new Firebase("https://<YOUR-FIREBASE-APP>.firebaseio.com/.info/serverTimeOffset");
offsetRef.on("value", function(snap) {
var offset = snap.val();
var estimatedServerTimeMs = new Date().getTime() + offset;
});
To add to Dave Vávra's answer, I use a negative timestamp as my sort_key like so
Setting
const timestamp = new Date().getTime();
const data = {
name: 'John Doe',
city: 'New York',
sort_key: timestamp * -1 // Gets the negative value of the timestamp
}
Getting
const ref = firebase.database().ref('business-images').child(id);
const query = ref.orderByChild('sort_key');
return $firebaseArray(query); // AngularFire function
This fetches all objects from newest to oldest. You can also $indexOn the sortKey to make it run even faster
I had this problem too, I found a very simple solution to this that doesn't involved manipulating the data in anyway. If you are rending the result to the DOM, in a list of some sort. You can use flexbox and setup a class to reverse the elements in their container.
.reverse {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column-reverse;
}
myarray.reverse(); or this.myitems = items.map(item => item).reverse();
I did this by prepend.
query.orderByChild('sell').limitToLast(4).on("value", function(snapshot){
snapshot.forEach(function (childSnapshot) {
// PREPEND
});
});
Someone has pointed out that there are 2 ways to do this:
Manipulate the data client-side
Make a query that will order the data
The easiest way that I have found to do this is to use option 1, but through a LinkedList. I just append each of the objects to the front of the stack. It is flexible enough to still allow the list to be used in a ListView or RecyclerView. This way even though they come in order oldest to newest, you can still view, or retrieve, newest to oldest.
You can add a column named orderColumn where you save time as
Long refrenceTime = "large future time";
Long currentTime = "currentTime";
Long order = refrenceTime - currentTime;
now save Long order in column named orderColumn and when you retrieve data
as orderBy(orderColumn) you will get what you need.
just use reverse() on the array , suppose if you are storing the values to an array items[] then do a this.items.reverse()
ref.subscribe(snapshots => {
this.loading.dismiss();
this.items = [];
snapshots.forEach(snapshot => {
this.items.push(snapshot);
});
**this.items.reverse();**
},
For me it was limitToLast that worked. I also found out that limitLast is NOT a function:)
const query = messagesRef.orderBy('createdAt', 'asc').limitToLast(25);
The above is what worked for me.
PRINT in reverse order
Let's think outside the box... If your information will be printed directly into user's screen (without any content that needs to be modified in a consecutive order, like a sum or something), simply print from bottom to top.
So, instead of inserting each new block of content to the end of the print space (A += B), add that block to the beginning (A = B+A).
If you'll include the elements as a consecutive ordered list, the DOM can put the numbers for you if you insert each element as a List Item (<li>) inside an Ordered Lists (<ol>).
This way you save space from your database, avoiding unnecesary reversed data.
I am trying to draw a table in poi using XWPF component using the below code
// InputStream in= Temp.class.getResourceAsStream("Sample.docx");
XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument();
XWPFTable table=doc.createTable(2,2);
// CTDecimalNumber rowSize = table.getCTTbl().getTblPr().getTblStyleRowBandSize();
// rowSize.setVal(new BigInteger("10"));
// table.getRow(1).setHeight(0);
table.getRow(0).getCell(0).setText("Row-0-Cell-0");
table.getRow(0).getCell(1).setText("Row-0-Cell-1");
table.getRow(1).getCell(0).setText("Row-1-Cell-0");
table.getRow(1).getCell(1).setText("Row-1-Cell-1");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("simpleTable.docx");
doc.write(out);
out.close();
It draws the table properly but The height of the cells are too big and width also does not falls properly in place. I saw in a note that the table are supposed to auto fit as per the content. Tried couple of things which are as follows:
Tried setting the height as shown in the commented code above but
that did not worked.
Tried reading an existing doc as shown in
inputstream commented code. That gave an exception that could not
read a poi-ooxml file.
Tried using TblStyleRowBandSize but that
always remains null. Not sure how to create a new instance of
CTDecimalNumber or TblStyleRowBandSize
thanks in advance.
Some more insight:
When I create an empty table, and add rows and column by using create, it works fine and does not inserts the formatting character. But making an empty table results in a cell created at the begining and I am still trying to find a way to remove that first column. New code
XWPFTable table=doc.createTable();
XWPFTableRow row1 = table.createRow();
row1.createCell().setText("Row-0-Cell-0");
row1.createCell().setText("Row-0-Cell-1");
XWPFTableRow row2 = table.createRow();
row2.createCell().setText("Row-1-Cell-0");
row2.createCell().setText("Row-1-Cell-1");
I'm not sure on most of your query, but I can help with the last bit, you'll want something like:
if(! table.getTblPr().isSetTblStyleRowBandSize()) {
table.getTblPr().addNewTblStyleRowBandSize();
}
System.out.println("Was " + table.getTblPr().getTblStyleRowBandSize().getVal());
table.getTblPr().getTblStyleRowBandSize().setVal(new BigInteger("12345"));
System.out.println("Now " + table.getTblPr().getTblStyleRowBandSize().getVal());
