I've been trying to retrieve a date value and an integer value from the database, using the following code:
var l_alsChampsMois, l_stoDonneesMois;
try {
l_alsChampsMois = [
{name: "date_mois", type: "date", dateFormat: "Y-m-d"},
{name: "indice", type: "integer"}
];
l_stoDonneesMois = new Ext.data.JsonStore({
fields: l_alsChampsMois,
autoLoad: false,
proxy: {
type: "ajax",
url: "/commun/req_sql/req_ind_per_mois.php",
reader: {
type: "json",
root: "rows"
},
// some configs to use jsFiddle echo service (you will remove them)
actionMethods: {
read: "POST"
},
extraParams: {
key:"test"
}
},
listeners: {
load: function(objStore, alsLignes, blnOk, objOptions) {
window.alert("Mois fin : " + objStore.getAt(0).get("date_mois"));
}
}
});
l_stoDonneesMois.load({params: {
p_idsoc: l_strIdSociete,
p_mois: l_datDebut.getMonth() + 1,
// getMonth renvoie 0 pour janvier, etc.
p_annee: l_datDebut.getFullYear(),
p_debut: 1,
p_etape: 1
}
});
with l_strIdSociete and l_datDebut being variables previously assigned and /commun/req_sql/req_ind_per_mois.php the PHP page that retrieves the data and converts it to JSON.
It seems to work fine (indeed, Firebug tells me the load does retrieve a data structure with "date_mois" and "indice" containing the values I expect them to), only the window.alert returns undefined. If I replace "date_mois" with "indice", it returns the expected value for "indice".
I've tried to use objStore.getAt(0).getData()["date_mois"], to no avail.
My only clue about this is that "date_mois" in the data structure shown by Firebug is an Object, but even so it shouldn't be undefined, now should it? I looked up http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!/api/Ext.data.Field-cfg-type that wasn't exactly forthcoming with straight answers.
So what did I do wrong there?
If you need current time you can use php time function(note: it returns seconds, JS uses milliseconds), in another case you need to convert by mktime function.

I have made the following collection in meteor:
CodesData = new Mongo.Collection('CodesData');
CodesDataSchema = new SimpleSchema({
code: {
label: "Code",
type: Number
},
desc: {
label: "Description",
type: String,
}
});
CodesData.attachSchema(CodesDataSchema);
Now I want to prefill this collection with some data.
For example: code: 1 desc: "hello".
How can I do this manually and easily?
You can use Meteor.startup to run some actions on your collection once the server app has been loaded and is starting:
CodesData = new Mongo.Collection('CodesData');
CodesDataSchema = new SimpleSchema({ code: { label: "Code", type: Number }, desc: { label: "Description", type: String, } });
.attachSchema(CodesDataSchema);
Meteor.startup(()=>{
// Only fill if empty, otherwise
// It would fill on each startup
if (CodesData.find().count() === 0) {
CodesData.insert({ code: 1, description: 'some description' });
}
});
If you have a lot of data to prefill you can define it in a JSON and load it on startup:
Consider the following json named as pre:
{
codesdata: [
{ code: 1, description: 'foo' },
{ code: 7, description: 'bar' }
]
}
Meteor.startup(()=>{
const preData = JSON.parse( pre );
preData.codesData.forEach( entry => {
CodesData.insert( entry );
});
});
This allows you to manage your prefill more easily and also let's you version control the json if desired ( and no sensitive data is revealed ).
Considerations:
The function Meteor.startup runs on each start. So you should consider how to avoid unnecessary inserts / prefill that create doubles. A good way is to check if the collection is empty (see first example).
You may put the startup code an another js file in order to separate definitions from startup routines.
The current script does not differentiate between server or client. You should consider to do this on server and create a publication / subscription around it.

In my Stacks schema i have a dimensions property defined as such:
dimensions: {
type: [String],
autoform: {
options: function() {
return Dimensions.find().map(function(d) {
return { label: d.name, value: d._id };
});
}
}
}
This works really well, and using Mongol I'm able to see that an attempt to insert data through the form worked well (in this case I chose two dimensions to insert)
However what I really what is data that stores the actual dimension object rather than it's key. Something like this:
[
To try to achieve this I changed type:[String] to type:[DimensionSchema] and value: d._id to value: d. The thinking here that I'm telling the form that I am expecting an object and am now returning the object itself.
However when I run this I get the following error in my console.
Meteor does not currently support objects other than ObjectID as ids
Poking around a little bit and changing type:[DimensionSchema] to type: DimensionSchema I see some new errors in the console (presumably they get buried when the type is an array
So it appears that autoform is trying to take the value I want stored in the database and trying to use that as an id. Any thoughts on the best way to do this?.
For reference here is my DimensionSchema
export const DimensionSchema = new SimpleSchema({
name: {
type: String,
label: "Name"
},
value: {
type: Number,
decimal: true,
label: "Value",
min: 0
},
tol: {
type: Number,
decimal: true,
label: "Tolerance"
},
author: {
type: String,
label: "Author",
autoValue: function() {
return this.userId
},
autoform: {
type: "hidden"
}
},
createdAt: {
type: Date,
label: "Created At",
autoValue: function() {
return new Date()
},
autoform: {
type: "hidden"
}
}
})
According to my experience and aldeed himself in this issue, autoform is not very friendly to fields that are arrays of objects.
I would generally advise against embedding this data in such a way. It makes the data more difficult to maintain in case a dimension document is modified in the future.
alternatives
You can use a package like publish-composite to create a reactive-join in a publication, while only embedding the _ids in the stack documents.
You can use something like the PeerDB package to do the de-normalization for you, which will also update nested documents for you. Take into account that it comes with a learning curve.
Manually code the specific forms that cannot be easily created with AutoForm. This gives you maximum control and sometimes it is easier than all of the tinkering.
if you insist on using AutoForm
While it may be possible to create a custom input type (via AutoForm.addInputType()), I would not recommend it. It would require you to create a template and modify the data in its valueOut method and it would not be very easy to generate edit forms.
Since this is a specific use case, I believe that the best approach is to use a slightly modified schema and handle the data in a Meteor method.
Define a schema with an array of strings:
export const StacksSchemaSubset = new SimpleSchema({
desc: {
type: String
},
...
dimensions: {
type: [String],
autoform: {
options: function() {
return Dimensions.find().map(function(d) {
return { label: d.name, value: d._id };
});
}
}
}
});
Then, render a quickForm, specifying a schema and a method:
<template name="StacksForm">
{{> quickForm
schema=reducedSchema
id="createStack"
type="method"
meteormethod="createStack"
omitFields="createdAt"
}}
</template>
And define the appropriate helper to deliver the schema:
Template.StacksForm.helpers({
reducedSchema() {
return StacksSchemaSubset;
}
});
And on the server, define the method and mutate the data before inserting.
Meteor.methods({
createStack(data) {
// validate data
const dims = Dimensions.find({_id: {$in: data.dimensions}}).fetch(); // specify fields if needed
data.dimensions = dims;
Stacks.insert(data);
}
});
The only thing i can advise at this moment (if the values doesnt support object type), is to convert object into string(i.e. serialized string) and set that as the value for "dimensions" key (instead of object) and save that into DB.
And while getting back from db, just unserialize that value (string) into object again.
ExtJS 5.1.x, with several stores using rest proxy.
Here is an example:
Ext.define('cardioCatalogQT.store.TestResults', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Store',
alias: 'store.TestResults',
config:{
fields: [
{name: 'attribute', type: 'string'},
{name: 'sid', type: 'string'},
{name: 'value_s', type: 'string'},
{name: 'value_d', type: 'string'}
],
model: 'cardioCatalogQT.model.TestResult',
storeId: 'TestResults',
autoLoad: true,
pageSize: undefined,
proxy: {
url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/remote_results_get',
type: 'rest',
reader: {
type: 'json',
rootProperty: 'results'
}
}
}
});
This store gets populated when certain things happen in the API. After the store is populated, I need to do some basic things, like count the number of distinct instances of an attribute, say sid, which I do as follows:
test_store = Ext.getStore('TestResults');
n = test_store.collect('sid').length);
The problem is that I have to refresh the browser to get the correct value of 'n,' otherwise, the count is not right. I am doing a test_store.load() and indeed, the request is being sent to the server after the .load() is issued.
I am directly querying the backend database to see what data are there in the table and to get a count to compare to the value given by test_store.collect('sid').length);. The strange thing is that I am also printing out the store object in the debugger, and the expected records (when compared to the content in the database table) are displayed under data.items array, but the value given by test_store.collect('sid').length is not right.
This is all done sequentially in a success callback. I am wondering if there is some sort of asynchronous behavior giving me the inconsistent results between what is is the store and the count on the content of the store?
I tested this with another store that uses the rest proxy and it has the same behavior. On the other hand, using the localStorage proxy gives the correct count consistent with the store records/model instances.
Here is the relevant code in question, an Ajax request fires off and does its thing correctly, and hit this success callback. There really isn't very much interesting going on... the problem section is after the console.log('TEST STORE HERE'); where I get the store, print the contents of the store, load/sync then print the store (which works just fine) and then finally print the length of uniquely grouped items by the sid attribute (which is what is not working):
success: function(response) {
json = Ext.decode(response.responseText);
if(json !== null && typeof (json) !== 'undefined'){
for (i = 0, max = json.items.length; i < max; i += 1) {
if (print_all) {
records.push({
sid: json.items[i].sid,
attribute: json.items[i].attribute,
string: json.items[i].value_s,
number: json.items[i].value_d
});
}
else {
records.push({
sid: json.items[i].sid
})
}
}
//update store with data
store.add(records);
store.sync();
// only add to store if adding to search grid
if (!print_all) {
source.add({
key: payload.key,
type: payload.type,
description: payload.description,
criteria: payload.criteria,
atom: payload.atom,
n: store.collect('sid').length // get length of array for unique sids
});
source.sync();
}
console.log('TEST STORE HERE');
test_store = Ext.getStore('TestResults');
test_store.load();
test_store.sync();
console.log(test_store);
console.log(test_store.collect('sid').length)
}
// update grid store content
Ext.StoreMgr.get('Payload').load();
Ext.ComponentQuery.query('#searchGrid')[0].getStore().load();
}
For completeness, here is the data.items array output items:Array[2886]
which is equivalent count of unique items grouped by the attribute sid and finally the output of console.log(test_store.collect('sid').length), which gives the value from the PREVIOUS run of this: 3114...
Let's say I have an Invoice model in SailsJS. It has 2 date attributes: issuedAt and dueAt. How can I create a custom validation rule that check that the due date is equal or greater than the issued date?
I tried creating a custom rule, but it seems I cannot access other properties inside a rule.
module.exports = {
schema: true,
types: {
duedate: function(dueAt) {
return dueAt >= this.issuedAt // Doesn't work, "this" refers to the function, not the model instance
}
},
attributes: {
issuedAt: {
type: 'date'
},
dueAt: {
type: 'date',
duedate: true
}
}
};
I hope you found a solution now, but for those interested to a good way to handle this i will explain my way to do it.
Unfortunatly as you said you can't access others record attributes in attribute customs validation function.
#Paweł Wszoła give you the right direction and here is a complete solution working for Sails#1.0.2 :
// Get buildUsageError to construct waterline usage error
const buildUsageError = require('waterline/lib/waterline/utils/query/private/build-usage-error');
module.exports = {
schema: true,
attributes: {
issuedAt: {
type: 'ref',
columnType: 'timestamp'
},
dueAt: {
type: 'ref',
columnType: 'timestamp'
}
},
beforeCreate: (record, next) => {
// This function is called before record creation so if callback method "next" is called with an attribute the creation will be canceled and the error will be returned
if(record.dueAt >= record.issuedAt){
return next(buildUsageError('E_INVALID_NEW_RECORD', 'issuedAt date must be equal or greater than dueAt date', 'invoice'))
}
next();
}
};
beforeCreate method in model as first param takes values. The best place for this kind of validation I see here.
beforeCreate: (values, next){
if (values.dueAt >= values.issuedAt) {
return next({error: ['...']})
}
next()
}
I have a grid that has a date field.
When a json POST is made to the server, the data that's sent looks like this: "2013-09-13T16:40:34.301Z", and a PUT looks like this: "2013-09-13T04:00:00.000Z". So it looks like the same format, but the POST is including some screwy time value and the PUT some other screwy time value (neither of which are correct).
I want to only send the DATE. Anyone have any idea?
kendoGrid.....
model: {
id: "ID",
fields: {
ID: {
editable: false,
type: "number"
},
START_DATE: {
field: "START_DATE",
type: "date",
format: "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}",
validation: {
required: true
}
},
Use the Data function (of the upload or create config) to send that date in a different format or use the parameterMap to change the existing format.
