Im finding it really hard to understand maps, I have read lots of examples but they always seem not to relate to what I need to do - I've just about understood how to use oldmap.trigger in a very simple use case.
So anyways I have a trigger on a object Data_ProtectionIA , its parent is Data Agreement, and then its parent is Data request.
I need to update Data agreement and Data request when DPIA gets updated, I have the below so far which I know is a very long winded way to do it, but now I also have to add further updates for when DPIA gets updated to something else and for me to do this like I have done would mean doubling this code again when it is already unnecesarily long.
If someone could please simplify this code into maps then I think I would be able to understand maps properly, I just cant find examples of what I need to do. Many thanks in advance
(So at the moment I am getting the grandchild record and then creating a list of parent records to loop through and then getting a list of all their parent records and then looping through that. - even if you could just show me from child to parent (not even, child parent to grandparent that would be very helpful)
public static void setDRStatus(List<Data_Protection_IA__c> dpia, Map<ID,Data_Protection_IA__c> oldMap ){
List<ID> childDAID = new List<ID>();
for(Data_Protection_IA__c pDA: dpia){
if(pDA.DPIA_Status__c == 'Fully Approved' && oldMap.get(pDA.Id).DPIA_Status__c != 'Fully Approved'){
childDAID.add(pDA.DataProcessingAgreement__c);
}
}
List<Data_Agreement__c> childDA = new List<Data_Agreement__c>();
ChildDA = [Select id, Data_Sharing_Status__c from Data_Agreement__c where id in:childDAID];
List<Data_Agreement__c> listToUpdate = new List <Data_Agreement__c>();
List<ID> dAId = new List <ID>();
system.debug('ChildDA'+ childDA);
for(Data_Agreement__c cda : ChildDA){
cda.Data_Sharing_Status__c = 'DPIA Fully Approved';
listToUpdate.add(cda);
dAId.add(cda.id);
}
update listToUpdate;
List<Data_Request__c> dRList = [SELECT id, Data_Sharing_Status__c,Existing_Data_Agreement__c
FROM Data_Request__c where Existing_Data_Agreement__c in:dAId];
List<Data_Request__c> listToUpdatedr = new List <Data_Request__c>();
system.debug('DRList'+ dRList);
for(Data_Request__c dr :dRList){
dr.Data_Sharing_Status__c = 'DPIA Approved';
listToUpdatedr.add(dr);
}
update listToUpdatedr;
}
----------------------------------------
Here is an example I had previously tried
So I started following an example and got to here
Set<Id> daIds = new Set<Id> {};
for (Data_Protection_IA__c p : dpia)
{
daIds.add(p.DataProcessingAgreement__c );
}
Map<ID, Data_Agreement__c> m = new Map<ID, Data_Agreement__c>(
[select id, from Data_Agreement__c where id in : daIds]);
list<Data_Agreement__c> dAupdates = new List <Data_Agreement__c>();
list<Contact> contactupdates = new List <Contact>();
for (Data_Protection_IA__c p1 :dpia)
{
m.get(p1.Data_Agreement__c) = 'DPIA Fully Approved');
}
but at the last line I think this map is tying to get the field Data_agreement from dpia object, but there is no data agreement field on dpia object. as dpia is the child. there is only a field for dpia on the data agreement object
I have implemented the google API for finding the cities of a particular Country selected.The Code is something like,
function initialize(ctryId) {
var ctyId = [];
ctyId.push(ctryId);
console.log(ctyId[0]);
var options = {
types: ['(cities)']
};
var input = document.getElementById('searchTextField');
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input , options);
autocomplete.setComponentRestrictions({'country': ctyId});
google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function () {
selected = true
});
I am setting the country Id i.e ctyId in the above code from country dropdown.
This works fine for me.
But the issue is the old value is persisted.For example,If I select country as India and try for city autocomplete,it works perfectly fine but when I select some other country say Germany,the autocomplete options for city would include Indian cities as well.Is there anyway I can restrict the autocomplete options to the selected country only or to clear the old values.Thanks in advance.
Google API creates an element for drop down with class ".pac-container". Removing that element and creating it again works fine.
$(".pac-container").remove();
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 get total marks obtained by a particular user, for a particular course for all the sections of that course.
The following query works and gives correct results with mysql, but not with Databse API calls
$sql = "SELECT d.section as section_id,d.name as section_name, sum(a.sumgrades) AS marks FROM mdl_quiz_attempts a, mdl_quiz b, mdl_course_modules c, mdl_course_sections d WHERE a.userid=6 AND b.course=4 AND a.quiz=b.id AND c.instance=a.quiz AND c.module=14 AND a.sumgrades>0 AND d.id=c.section GROUP BY d.section"
I tried different API calls, mainly I would want
$DB->get_records_sql($sql);
The results from API calls are meaningless. Any suggestion?
PS : This is moodle 2.2.
I just tried to do something similar, only without getting the sections. You only need the course and user id. I hope this helps you.
global $DB;
// get all attempts & grades from a user from every quiz of one course
$sql = "SELECT qa.id, qa.attempt, qa.quiz, qa.sumgrades AS grade, qa.timefinish, qa.timemodified, q.sumgrades, q.grade AS maxgrade
FROM {quiz} q, {quiz_attempts} qa
WHERE q.course=".$courseid."
AND qa.quiz = q.id
AND qa.userid = ".$userid."
AND state = 'finished'
ORDER BY qa.timefinish ASC";
$exams = $DB->get_records_sql($sql);
// calculate final grades from sum grades
$grades = array();
foreach($exams as $exam) {
$grade = new stdClass;
$grade->quiz = $exam->quiz;
$grade->attempt = $exam->attempt;
// sum to final
$grade->finalgrade = $exam->grade * ($exam->maxgrade / $exam->sumgrades);
$grade->grademax = $exam->maxgrade;
$grade->timemodified = $exam->timemodified;
array_push($grades, $grade);
}
This works in latest moodle version. Moodle 2.9. Although I am still open for better solution as this is really hacky way of getting deeper analytics about user's performance.
I am using an inline filteringselect with datastore, as follows:
I am using ABBR as the identifier and NAME as the value.
The filtering selects and works correctly, but I have two issues.
Firstly, how do I retrieve the ABBR for the selected option NAME?
I have tried various things, including .innerHTML but that only retrieves the selected item name, not the identifier.
Secondly, when using the datastore option, how can I choose the default selected item, for example if it was a scale of 1 to 10 and I wanted 5 as the default selection, how can I do this?
Any ideas and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Mank thanks
