dataTable tableedit error, adding a new column while searching in jQuery - html

I'm developing a stock manager webapp for a company.
I have this page where the administrator can edit and delete products that they added in a table (dataTable), I managed to make this possible by using this tutorial:
https://www.webslesson.info/2017/05/live-table-data-edit-delete-using-tabledit-plugin-in-php.html
Everything works fine but I had this issue where the 2 edit and delete buttons weren't showed on other pages of my table except from the 1st, I managed to resolve this issue with attached code
Everything right now works fine but i have a huge graphic problem. While i'm searching, every time I tap a letter or a backspace, the last column as you can see from the attachment is cloning itself every time.
Error of multiple columns
I've already tried to debug the search method but I don't think it's related to that... it's a standard method.
Do you think it can possibly be a problem related to the fact that the last column with the 2 button (edit and delete) is automatically added with a js of the library extension I'm using and it's not hardcoded? so every time I redraw the table it is like an external element to redraw?
var table = $('#dataTable').DataTable();
// Document ready
$(function() {
editTable();
});
// Assuming "table" is the variable name of your datatable
table.on('draw', editTable);
function editTable() {
$('#dataTable').Tabledit({
url: 'updateDB.php',
columns: {
identifier: [0, "id"],
editable: [
[1, 'name'],
[4, 'quantity'],
[5, 'threshold'],
]
},
restoreButton: false,
onSuccess: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
if (data.action == "delete") {
document.getElementById(data.id).remove();
}
}
});
};

Tabulator - Cell.setValue creating recursive loop for custom formatter, table not saving data

I'll try to be as brief as possible as my situation is unique and I am a fairly new programmer.
TL:DR - Cannot get the row to update, table does not remember initial values when editing, cell.setValue() creates recursive loop, cell.getRow().update() seems to do nothing, row does not resize in the event of editing working (still does not hold on to previous values)), unsure if mutator or cellEdit() callback are potential solutions.
I have JSON data populating my table from an AJAX call to a Java backend. One of the columns can either be one item, a list of multiple items, or none at all. I am using a custom formatter to populate that cell with the list of items, followed by icons to remove those items...
Some text here X
Some other text X
And some more X
When clicking the X icon, it should remove the item, and when clicking the text, it will drop down a list to choose another option.
Some text here X
Some other text X
Added another line X <----removed the previous item and selected a new
The problem I am having is that the table does not continuously hold onto previous values nor concatenates them with new selections. I have written some code to take care of the concatenation issue, but it still does not save that info within the table. I have tried to use cell.setValue() but this creates a recursive loop as all my code is within the custom formatter. I have also tried cell.getRow().update() but this seems to do nothing.
Also, clicking into the drop down and clicking away without selecting a value will still send the previous value as though it was clicked again. I was able to get it to function once, but it only changed the most recent values and did not include the original ones and it did not resize the row to be smaller.
I am unsure if a custom mutator would solve my issue, or even how to get the mutator to interact with the formatter to update the cell every time a change has been made. I also have a cellEdited: function(){} callback that is going to be designed to take the entire row of information as a JSON object to save it within a DAO and considered that I might be able to solve the issue there?
Here is my code for that column. This currently will load the page with the initial design yet does not work with editing. "cell.setValue()" and "cell.getRow().update()" are currently not included because they weren't working properly...
title: "Groups",
field: "associatedGroups",
variableHeight: true,
headerFilter: true,
headerFilterPlaceholder: "Search by Group...",
formatter: function (cell, formatterParams, onRendered) {
var data = [];
var newValue = cell.getValue();
var oldValue = cell.getOldValue();
var newValueIsArray = $.isArray(newValue);
var oldValueIsArray = $.isArray(oldValue);
if (oldValue !== null && newValue !== null) {
if (!oldValueIsArray && newValueIsArray) {
data = data.concat(newValue);
data.unshift(oldValue);
} else if (oldValueIsArray && !newValueIsArray) {
data = data.concat(oldValue);
data.push(newValue);
} else {
data.push(oldValue);
data.push(newValue);
}
} else {
data = newValue;
}

How to get client side data from Kendo Grid to controller

I am trying to get Kendo Grid data which is hydrated from client side to a MVC controller method. My view contains several single fields like name, date of birth etc and tabular field which I hooked with a Kendo Grid. Since its a new operation I have no data in the grid ( and other fields) and user enters them from client side.
I have no idea how to proceed on this. Ideally I would like to get this data to a list in my viewmodal. So that when the user hits save, I have all other data and the grid data coming into a controller method.
I am able to successfully bind a list with kendo grid and display it. I have very little experience on JavaScript and Kendo and web programming.
If any of you can point me to the right direction, sample code would be greatly appreciated.
$("#departmet").kendoGrid({
dataSource: dataSource,
height: 250,
scrollable: true,
sortable: true,
filterable: true,
pageable: {
input: true,
numeric: false
},
columns: [
"DepartmentName",
"SubDivision"
]
});
From experience I know their documentation is not easy to navigate. It seems there is the documentation and then the API. The API is usually what you will always want to find. What you will need is the information from here https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid. If I understand the question correctly. There are several ways you can achieve posting. You could make use of editor templates. Click the Open in Dojo to get an idea how it looks.
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid/configuration/editable.template
With this you do not have to worry about modifying the data via javascript. Assuming your grid is surrounded with a form element it will get posted when submitted. Note paging is not accounted for here. Also, this method by default can auto post after each edit. If you don't want this behavior then you will have to have advanced knowledge of the API.....Correction on that last statement. The API is different when dealing with the data all on the client side. Click the Open in Dojo to see it all on the client side. If you are not wanting to use editor templates and want to manage the data editing yourself then you need to use the grid methods provided.
Once you have your grid created. To access the data source of the grid you will need to get the dataSource.
$('#departmet').data('kendoGrid').dataSource;
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource
If you need to use a different data source(or change it) you can use the setDataSource method below(grid function).
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid/methods/setdatasource
To add to the data source use the add function to add a new object.
$('#departmet').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.add({ id: 2, name: 'name'});
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource/methods/add
It is important with kendo to ALWAYS use the methods provided to change the data source so that the proper events can fire to update the UI accordingly. This includes if you need to set a property on a specific data item. In that case you need to use the set method on the item itself.
After you are done modifying your data. Within javascript get the data and either create DOM elements within a form
//JQuery sudo code example
var data = $("#departmet").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.data();
var dataLen = data.length;
var myForm = $('#my-form'); //Already within DOM
for (var i = 0; i < dataLen; i++) {
var item = data[i];
var idEl = $('<input type="hidden" name="userData[' + i + '].id" />');
idEl.val(item.id);
var nameEl = $('<input type="hidden" name="userData[' + i + '].name" />');
nameEl.val(item.name);
myForm.append(idEl);
myForm.append(nameEl);
}
myForm.submit();
This assumes your controller function(??) on the backend is expecting an array of objects with the property name of userData.
Alternatively, you can post it via ajax. For example, the ajax jquery function. Passing your data as the data of the ajax call.
http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/
Don't want to ramble. Let me know if you need more help.
SO won't let me comment yet so have to add another answer. You will not need to define the data source within the .NET code when dealing with client only data. Just use this.
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.ServerOperation(false)
)
If you will have data coming from the backend then you need to use the generic-less constructor and pass in the object else keep what you have.
Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.MyList)
However, if you are preprocessing some client data on the screen that you want to initialize then you will need to do this on ready. Don't worry about the schema part of the data source. It already knows this when you used the .NET MVC wrapper because you gave it the schema(type) via the generic or the parameter provided.
var initialDS= new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: [
{ ActionName: "Some Name", ActionType: "Some Type" }
]
});
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#docworkflow').data('kendoGrid').setDataSource(initialDS);
});
As I mentioned in the other answer. Use the data source functions for adding additional data to the data source. No need to setDataSource each time you want to add. Just
//Assuming you have 2 inputs on the screen the user is entering info into
var nameEntry = $('#action-name').val();
var typeEntry = $('#action-type').val();
$('#docworkflow').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.add({ ActionName: nameEntry , ActionType: typeEntry });
So after some efforts I come up with. But I don't know where to specify the
data in the html code. Is it possible this way?
#(Html.Kendo().Grid <DockData.Action> ()
.Name("docworkflow")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(e => e.ActionName);
columns.Bound(e => e.ActionType);
}).DataSource( **How do I load a script variable here***)
//This script variable should be fed to the above code.
This variable is populatedwhen the user adds data from the UI which works fine.
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: result,
schema: {
model: {
fields: {
ActionName: { type: "string" },
ActionType: { type: "string" }
}
}
},
pageSize: 20
});

How to initialize controls in row details with jQuery DataTables and Responsive extension

I've this issue I didn't see during development but it happens to my client. I use jQuery DataTables to let the user complete with information.
On a big/normal resolution this does not happened because the DataTables can show all the columns. But on lower resolution the grid shows a green plus button and the controls "inside" that group are not initialized correctly.
Normal page with lower resolution:
Using the Chrome Dev Tools' Console: I can excecute this:
$(".k_numeric").kendoNumericTextBox({ format: "c", decimals: 2 });
And the controls now are display correctly.
So it seems that when the DataTables hides columns to fit on the display, the controls are not being called by JS. I tried searching about this but I don't even know how to search it properly.
CAUSE
This issue occurs because Responsive extension creates new elements when preparing row details. These new elements need to be initialized again.
SOLUTION
You need to re-initialize those controls that become part of row details in a separate function.
The solution is to:
define a custom render for the row details with responsive.details.renderer option
call default renderer with $.fn.DataTable.Responsive.defaults.details.renderer() which returns jQuery collection.
initialize custom controls in this collection before returning it.
Example:
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
responsive: {
details: {
renderer: function (api, rowIdx, columns) {
var $details = $.fn.DataTable.Responsive.defaults.details.renderer(api, rowIdx, columns);
$(".numerictextbox", $details).kendoNumericTextBox({ format: "c", decimals: 2 });
return $details;
}
}
},
createdRow: function( row, data, dataIndex ){
$(".numerictextbox", row).kendoNumericTextBox({ format: "c", decimals: 2 });
}
});

DOJO 1.8. FilteringSelect in DataGrid fed by FileItemReadStore is not working

I'm struggeling with DOJO 1.8 and Datagrid. I would like to put a filteringSelect into a Datagrid cell. The widget should be fed by a Store. The store is fed by an AJAX request and works find. Also the select widget shows up, but it is empty. There's neither a value nor an option to see in the browser:
The Code for the Store:
// AJAX REQUEST TO GET PROJECTS AND SAVE AS STORE
require(['dojo/request', 'dojo/data/ItemFileReadStore'], function(request, ItemFileReadStore){
request('project/json/getprojects', {
handleAs: 'json'
}).then(function(json){
var projectStore = new ItemFileReadStore({data: {'identifier':'id', 'label':'label', 'items': json}});
});
The JSON I retrieve looks like this:
[{"id":2,"name":"Bilder-App","customer":"Company A","label":"Company A >> Bilder-App"},{"id":8,"name":"Zeiterfassung","customer":"Company B","label":"Company B >> Zeiterfassung"}]
The goal is that the select-box shows the "label" field visually and saves "id" to the store/grid.
Here's the code of the grid_layout for the cell:
{field: "project_id", name: "Kunde/Projekt", type: dojox.grid.cells._Widget, widgetClass: dijit.form.Select, widgetProps: {store: projectStore, searchAttr: "label"} },
Is anyone able to help me with that?
MANY THANKS!
AFX
Here is the working formatter:
// PROJECT-ID FORMATTER
function formatProjectId(value, index){
var item = projectStore.get(value);
var label = item['label'];
return label;
}
However, there's one slight problem: Right when I selected the item in the select box it shows the id in the field. When I leave the field it gets formatted correctly.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
OK!
I was able to find a solution.
First of all, I changed to Memory-Store, since I figured out that the ItemFileReadStore wasn't working correctly.
I read somewhere, that you need to require the 'dijit/form/FilteringSelect' specifically. So I did that.
So my field in the layout variable looks like this:
{field: "project_id", name: "Kunde/Projekt", type: dojox.grid.cells._Widget, widgetClass: dijit.form.FilteringSelect, widgetProps: {searchAttr: "id", labelAttr: "label", store: projectStore}},
My Store has an array of data consisting of the fields 'id' and 'label'...so it gave the field those attributes! And BOOOOM...it works!
Now I have to add a formatter-function to format the displayed IDs onces they were edited.
Posting about this soon!
Have a good one,
AFX

Load a single record from a JSON API using Sencha Touch 2

I am having a horrible time understanding Sencha Touch 2's architecture. I'm finding even the most basic things I do in other language and frameworks to be incredibly painful.
Currently, I just want to do a standard Master/Detail view. I load a store into a list view and would like to click on each list item to slide in a detail view. Since my initial list view can contain quite a lot of items, I'm only loading a little bit of the data with this method in my controller:
viewUserCommand: function(list, record) {
// console.log(record);
var profileStore = Ext.getStore("Profiles");
profileStore.setProxy({
url: 'http://localhost:8000/profile/' + record.data.user_id
});
profileStore.load();
// console.log(profileStore);
Ext.Viewport.animateActiveItem(Ext.getCmp('profileview'), this.slideLeftTransition);
}
First, modifying the url property for each tap event seems a bit hacky. Isn't there a way to specify "this.id" or something along those lines, and then pass that to my store? Or would that require loading the entire DB table into an object?
I can console.log the return from this method and it's exactly what I want. How do I populate the detail view? I've tried utilizing a DataView component, but it doesn't show any data. The examples on sencha's website are fairly sparse, and relatively contextless. That means that even copying and pasting their examples are likely to fail. (Any examples I've tried using Ext.modelMgr.getModel() have failed.)
I know it's partly that this framework is new and I'm probably missing a huge gaping hole in my understanding of it, but does anyone have any clue?
Would suggest you check out the docs, there's an example of loading a single model:
http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/api/Ext.data.Model
Ext.define('User', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
config: {
fields: ['id', 'name', 'email'],
proxy: {
type: 'rest',
url : '/users'
}
}
});
//get a reference to the User model class
var User = Ext.ModelManager.getModel('User');
//Uses the configured RestProxy to make a GET request to /users/123
User.load(123, {
success: function(user) {
console.log(user.getId()); //logs 123
}
});
