I receive data in a function and this function needs to load a new page. I was doing this with Jquery using the method .load(), But my vue method gets an error saying that can not find the element in the other page.I believe that could be a better approach, but I do not know how I can pass data through a vue component
static foo(a,b){
$('#maindiv').load("/newPage");
new Vue({
el: '#newPageElem',
data: {
vueVar1:a
vueVar2:b
},
});
}
How can I do that? I believe that using Jquery is not the best way to achieve this, but I dont know how to change routes with vue and passing parameter between them.
Thanks.
You can take a look at vue-router here: http://router.vuejs.org/en/essentials/getting-started.html - it allows you to handle all the client-side routes.
For making http calls to receive data from server, you can use vue-resource (https://github.com/vuejs/vue-resource)
It is better to avoid mixing jQuery with Vue, as Vue is responsible for rendering the DOM. If you make any DOM changes with jQuery, it will get over-written by Vue in the next DOM update. So you will end up spending a lot of time in debugging.
Also, you cannot instantiate a Vue app inside a function, as seen in your code example, unless you call the function on page load. Ideally, the first few lines of script should start the Vue app.
So I'm trying to setup a web-page where when you open it, it will play a random piece of music, and when that one finishes, it will play another directly after so you get a constant stream of music, but not in the same order every time. If this goes outside the bounds of HTML and I'm looking at for instance JavaScipt than that's fine.
I know this is probably a rather easy solution, but I'm new to HTML and trying to understand it better.
Thanks in advance if I don't get back to you soon!
This is best solved using JavaScript, which is used to add behavior to a website. HTML is primarily used to structure your site.
We can get a collection of all audio elements with the querySelectorAll function. Then we find a random element with the next line and call the play method.
var audio = document.querySelectorAll("audio");
function playRandom() {
audio[Math.floor(Math.random() * audio.length)].play()
}();
For the second part of your question, you would want to listen for the ended event. Inside the event listener function, you would then call the playRandom() function.
audio.addEventListener("ended", function() {
playRandom();
});
I'm trying to figure out how to transition from one page to the next using jQuery mobile. I have a JSON callback function, and once that function returns a value (say YES or NO), then I either want to transition to a specific page or display an error message. Could somebody provide some sample code on how to write this transition?
I get that the href should look something like this:
Next page
But how do I call this from within a javascript callback function? Thanks!
Invoking changePage from your callback should accomplish what you are trying to do.
Your_Callback(){
if(YES) {
changePage("nextPage.html");
} else if(NO){
changePage("errorPage.html");
}
}
Would it be possible to share the JS code that's not working for you?
There is a method for this purpose:
$.mobile.changePage('nextPage.html')
Check de documentation to see the parameter it accepts
Did you consider writing the page in PHP to create a session cookie?
`session_start();
$url = $_SESSION['back'];'
in the jquery you would use:
window.location ="'.$url.'";
or
maybe try location.href = "myPage.html"
First of all, I know there's libraries that provide polyfills for location.pushState/popState (History.js, Hash.js, jQuery hashchange), so please don't just link to those.
I need a more powerful library to achieve the following in a RIA:
User clicks a link
library is notified and loads context via Ajax (no complete reload!)
All <a> elements are leveraged with a click handler that
prevents page reloads in 2. (preventDefault) and
calls location.pushState instead / sets location.hash for older browsers
loaded content is inserted in page and replaces current content
Continue with 1.
Also, previously loaded content should be restored as the user navigates back.
As an example, klick through Google+ in Internet Explorer <10 and any other browser.
Is there anything that comes even close? I need support for IE8, FF10, Safari 5 and Chrome 18. Also, it should have a permissive license like MIT or Apache.
I believe Sammy.js ( http://sammyjs.org) (MIT-licenced) has the best focus on what you want to do, with its 2 main pillars being:
Routes
Events
I could quote from the docs but it's pretty straightforward:
setup clientside routes that relate to stuff to be done, e.g: update the view through ajax
link events to call routes, e.g: call the route above when I click an link. (You would have to make sure e.preventDefault is called in the defined event I believe, since this is an app decision really, so that can't be abstracted away by any library that you're going to use imho)
Some relevant docs
http://sammyjs.org/docs
http://sammyjs.org/docs/routes
http://sammyjs.org/docs/events
Example for a route: (from http://sammyjs.org/docs/tutorials/json_store_1)
this.get('#/', function(context) {
$.ajax({
url: 'data/items.json',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(items) {
$.each(items, function(i, item) {
context.log(item.title, '-', item.artist);
});
}
});
});
Or something like
this.get('#/', function(context) {
context.app.swap(''); ///the 'swap' here indicates a cleaning of the view
//before partials are loaded, effectively rerendering the entire screen. NOt doing the swap enables you to do infinite-scrolling / appending style, etc.
// ...
});
Of course other clientside MVC-frameworks could be an option too, which take away even more plumbing, but might be overkill in this situation.
a pretty good (and still fairly recent) comparison:
http://codebrief.com/2012/01/the-top-10-javascript-mvc-frameworks-reviewed/
( I use Spine.js myself ) .
Lastly, I thought it might be useful to include an answer I've written a while ago that goes into detail to the whole best-practice (as I see it) in client-side refreshes, etc. Perhaps you find it useful:
Accessibility and all these JavaScript frameworks
I currently use PathJS in one of my applications.
It has been the best decision that i have made.
For your particular usecase take a look at HTML5 Example.
The piece of code that that makes the example work (from the source):
<script type="text/javascript">
// This example makes use of the jQuery library.
// You can use any methods as actions in PathJS. You can define them as I do below,
// assign them to variables, or use anonymous functions. The choice is yours.
function notFound(){
$("#output .content").html("404 Not Found");
$("#output .content").addClass("error");
}
function setPageBackground(){
$("#output .content").removeClass("error");
}
// Here we define our routes. You'll notice that I only define three routes, even
// though there are four links. Each route has an action assigned to it (via the
// `to` method, as well as an `enter` method. The `enter` method is called before
// the route is performed, which allows you to do any setup you need (changes classes,
// performing AJAX calls, adding animations, etc.
Path.map("/users").to(function(){
$("#output .content").html("Users");
}).enter(setPageBackground);
Path.map("/about").to(function(){
$("#output .content").html("About");
}).enter(setPageBackground);
Path.map("/contact").to(function(){
$("#output .content").html("Contact");
}).enter(setPageBackground);
// The `Path.rescue()` method takes a function as an argument, and will be called when
// a route is activated that you have not yet defined an action for. On this example
// page, you'll notice there is no defined route for the "Unicorns!?" link. Since no
// route is defined, it calls this method instead.
Path.rescue(notFound);
$(document).ready(function(){
// This line is used to start the HTML5 PathJS listener. This will modify the
// `window.onpopstate` method accordingly, check that HTML5 is supported, and
// fall back to hashtags if you tell it to. Calling it with no arguments will
// cause it to do nothing if HTML5 is not supported
Path.history.listen();
// If you would like it to gracefully fallback to Hashtags in the event that HTML5
// isn't supported, just pass `true` into the method.
// Path.history.listen(true);
$("a").click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
// To make use of the HTML5 History API, you need to tell your click events to
// add to the history stack by calling the `Path.history.pushState` method. This
// method is analogous to the regular `window.history.pushState` method, but
// wraps calls to it around the PathJS dispatched. Conveniently, you'll still have
// access to any state data you assign to it as if you had manually set it via
// the standard methods.
Path.history.pushState({}, "", $(this).attr("href"));
});
});
</script>
PathJS has some of the most wanted features of a routing library:
Lightweight
Supports the HTML5 History API, the 'onhashchange' method, and graceful degredation
Supports root routes, rescue methods, paramaterized routes, optional route components (dynamic routes), and Aspect Oriented Programming
Well Tested (tests available in the ./tests directory)
Compatible with all major browsers (Tested on Firefox 3.6, Firefox 4.0, Firefox 5.0, Chrome 9, Opera 11, IE7, IE8, IE9)
Independant of all third party libraries, but plays nice with all of them
I found the last too points most attractive.
You can find them here
I hope you find this useful.
i'd like to suggest a combination of
crossroads.js as a router
http://millermedeiros.github.com/crossroads.js/
and hasher for handling browser history and hash urls (w/ plenty of fallback solutions):
https://github.com/millermedeiros/hasher/
(based on http://millermedeiros.github.com/js-signals/)
This will still require a few lines of code (to load ajax content etc.), but give you loads and loads of other possibilities when handling a route.
Here's an example using jQuery (none of the above libraries require jQuery, i'm just lazy...)
http://fiddle.jshell.net/Fe5Kz/2/show/light
HTML
<ul id="menu">
<li>
foo
</li>
<li>
bar/baz
</li>
</ul>
<div id="content"></div>
JS
//register routes
crossroads.addRoute('foo', function() {
$('#content').html('this could be ajax loaded content or whatever');
});
crossroads.addRoute('bar/{baz}', function(baz) {
//maybe do something with the parameter ...
//$('#content').load('ajax_url?baz='+baz, function(){
// $('#content').html('bar route called with parameter ' + baz);
//});
$('#content').html('bar route called with parameter ' + baz);
});
//setup hash handling
function parseHash(newHash, oldHash) {
crossroads.parse(newHash);
}
hasher.initialized.add(parseHash);
hasher.changed.add(parseHash);
hasher.init();
//add click listener to menu items
$('#menu li a').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#menu a').removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
hasher.setHash($(this).attr('href'));
});
Have you looked at the BigShelf sample SPA (Single Page Application) from Microsoft? It sounds like it covers how to achieve most of what you're asking.
It makes use of History.js, a custom wrapper object to easily control navigation called NavHistory and Knockout.js for click handling.
Here's an extremely abbreviated workflow of how this works: first you'll need to initialize a NavHistory object which wraps history.js and registers a callback which executes when there is a push state or hash change:
var nav = new NavHistory({
params: { page: 1, filter: "all", ... etc ... },
onNavigate: function (navEntry) {
// Respond to the incoming sort/page/filter parameters
// by updating booksDataSource and re-querying the server
}
});
Next, you'll define one or more Knockout.js view models with commands that can be bound to links buttons, etc:
var ViewModel = function (nav) {
this.search = function () {
nav.navigate({ page: 2, filter: '', ... }); // JSON object matching the NavHistory params
};
}
Finally, in your markup, you'll use Knockout.js to bind your commands to various elements:
<a data-bind="click: search">...</a>
The linked resources are much more detailed in explaining how all of this works. Unfortunately, it's not a single framework like you're seeking, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to get this working.
One more thing, following the BigShelf example, the site I'm building is fully cross-browser compatible, IE6+, Firefox, Safari (mobile and desktop) and Chrome (mobile and desktop).
The AjaxTCR Library seems to cover all bases and contains robust methods that I haven't seen before. It's released under a BSD License (Open Source Initiative).
For example, here are five AjaxTCR.history(); methods:
init(onStateChangeCallback, initState);
addToHistory(id, data, title, url, options);
getAll();
getPosition();
enableBackGuard(message, immediate);
The above addToHistory(); has enough parameters to allow for deep hash-linking in websites.
More eye-candy of .com.cookie(), .storage(), and .template() provides more than enough methods to handle any session data requirements.
The well documented AjaxTCR API webpage has a plethora of information with downloadable doc's to boot!
Status Update:
That website also has an Examples Webpage Section including downloadable .zip files with ready to use Front End(Client) and Back End(Server) project files.
Notably are the following ready-to-use examples:
One-way Cookie
HttpOnly Cookies
History Stealing
History Explorer
There are quite a bit other examples that rounds out the process to use many of their API methods, making any small learning curve faster to complete.
Several suggestions
ExtJs, see their History Example, and here are the docs.
YUI Browser History Manager.
jQuery BBQ seem to provide a more advanced feature-set over jQuery.hashcode.
ReallySimpleHistory may also be of help, though it's quite old and possibly outdated.
Note: ExtJs History has been extended to optimize duplicate (redundant) calls to add().
PJAX is the process you're describing.
The more advanced pjax techniques will even start to preload the content, when the user hovers over the link.
This is a good pjax library.
https://github.com/MoOx/pjax
You mark the containers which need will be updated on the subsequent requests:
new Pjax({ selectors: ["title", ".my-Header", ".my-Content", ".my-Sidebar"] })
So in the above, only the title, the .my-header, .my-content, and .my-sidebar will be replaced with the content from the ajax call.
Somethings to look out for
Pay attention to how your JS loads and detects when the page is ready. The javascript will not reload on new pages. Also pay attention to when any analytics calls get called, for the same reason.
I am stuck at what seems to be a simple thing to do,
I am new to the whole Sencha touch environment and still need to get my head around a lot of things.
here is the issue Im facing,
I have built the gettingStarted app from Sencha homepage, this app is simple where it loads a list from JSON data & on clicking the item in the list, it shows the HTML content of the chosen item
What Im trying to do is create another list so that
1- List one loads on startup
2- On clicking an item in List 1, it loads another list 2
3- on cicking the list 2, it loads the HTML content.
I have written webservice to return data as JSON based on which I would like to build the second list.
Im calling a function "showPost" on itemTap and it looks like this:
showPost: function(list, index, element, record){
Ext.Ajax.request({
url: 'http://localhost/mobig/ws/search.php?cat='+record.get('category'),
success: function(response){
var text = response.responseText;
var responses = Ext.JSON.decode(response.responseText);
alert(responses.posts[0].title);
}
});
I also have, this:
this.getBlog().setData({
xtype:'panel',
title:record.get('category'),
html:'<img src='+record.get('imageURL')+'/>',
scrollable:true,
styleHTMLContent:true
});
}
which loads the HTML content from List 1.
Thanks for your help in advance, and sorry about the bad english,
If you can point me to some examples, It will be a good place to learn.
Thanks!
Mo.
The most convenient way to save your time is to use Ext.NestedList, but I don't recommend it because currently nested list performance in Sencha Touch 2 is still so terrible (scrolling, event catching, etc.), if you care more about performance, you should use 2 seperated Ext.List, for eg. list_one with store_one and list_two with store_two, when list_one fires itemtap event, catch record parameter and process it (maybe through reading a TreeStore, or write your own API such as http://yourdomain/api=get_list_two&record_from_list_one=record)
Hope it helps.
It sounds like you want to set up a nested list. Here's the nested list tutorial, which should point you in the right direction.
