CodeMirror - what is addWidget for and how to use it? - widget

I want to make some extensions to CodeMirror. The addWidget method seems like a promising starting point. The documentation states
addWidget(pos, node, scrollIntoView) Puts node, which should be an
absolutely positioned DOM node, into the editor, positioned right
below the given {line, ch} position. When scrollIntoView is true, the
editor will ensure that the entire node is visible (if possible). To
remove the widget again, simply use DOM methods (move it somewhere
else, or call removeChild on its parent).
I don't really understand what that means or what I would use it for. I cannot find a usage of it in the CodeMirror codebase nor anywhere else in google.

You need to pass an html node and a position and a Boolean value
// create a node
var htmlNode =document.createElement("h1");
var text = document.createTextNode("Text or whatever");
htmlNode.appendChild(text)
// call this after you initialized the editor.
// the position must be like this {ch: YourCharecterNumber, line: YourLineNumber}
editor.addWidget({ch:30 , line: 1},htmlNode, true)

Parent node in react-testing-library

The component that I have testing renders something this:
<div>Text<span>span text</span></div>
As it turns out for testing the only reliable text that I have is the 'span text' but I want to get the 'Text' part of the <div>. Using Jest and react-testing-library I can
await screen.findByText(spanText)
This returns an HTMLElement but it seems limited as I don't have any of the context around the element. For example HTML methods like parentNode and previousSibling return null or undefined. Ideally I would like to get the text content of the parent <div>. Any idea how I can do this with either Jest or react-testing-library?
A good solution for this is the closest function.
In description of closest function is written: Returns the first (starting at element) including ancestor that matches selectors, and null otherwise.
The solution would look like this:
screen.getByText("span text").closest("div")
Admittedly, Testing Library doesn't communicate clearly how to do this. It includes an eslint rule no-direct-node-access that says "Avoid direct Node access. Prefer using the methods from Testing Library". This gives the impression that TL exposes a method for a situation like this, but at the moment it does not.
It could be you don't want to use .closest(), either because your project enforces that eslint rule, or because it is not always a reliable selector. I've found two alternative ways to tackle a situation like you describe.
within():
If your element is inside another element that is selectable by a Testing Library method (like a footer or an element with unique text), you can use within() like:
within(screen.getByRole('footer')).getByText('Text');
find() within the element with a custom function:
screen.getAllByText('Text').find(div => div.innerHTML.includes('span text'));
Doesn't look the prettiest, but you can pass any JS function you want so it's very flexible and controllable.
Ps. if you use my second option depending on your TypeScript config you may need to make an undefined check before asserting on the element with Testing Library's expect(...).toBeDefined().
But I have used HTML methods a lot and there was no problem yet. What was your problem with HTML methods?
You can try this code.
const spanElement = screen.getElementByText('span text');
const parentDiv = spanElement.parentElement as HTMLElement;
within(parentDiv).getElementByText('...');

Polymer - cloneNode including __data

I am using the library dragula for doing some drag & drop stuff.
Dragula internally uses cloneNode(true) to create a copy of the dragged element that will be appended to the body to show the preview image while dragging.
Unfortunately, if dragging a polymer element, the bound data get's not cloned. By consequence the contents of the dragged element (e.g. <div>[[someString]]</div>) are empty.
Is there a solution for this?
I actually do not need the data to be bound for my element, it is just a "read-only" element that displays some data that does not change after being initialized. Is there maybe a way to somehow "resolve" the strings to the html without being bound anymore?
Thank you already!
Found a solution myself. You have to override the cloneNode method inside the polymer class:
cloneNode(deep) {
let cloned = super.cloneNode(deep);
for (let prop in MyClass.properties) {
cloned[prop] = this[prop];
}
return cloned;
}

How to change the nodeType of XML document from DOCUMENT to ELEMENT

I used XMLDOM to create a document (#1). I used Load("string"). With another XML document (#2), I want to append the first XMLDOM, but I get an error stating "This operation can not be performed with a Node of type DOCUMENT." How can I change the node to type ELEMENT (1)?
oDOM2 = Createobject(MSXML2.DOMDocument)
<bunch of code and other things go here...>
oDOM1 = Createobject(MSXML2.DOMDocument)
oDOM1.Load("<SomeXML><MoreXML></MoreXML></SomeXML>")
oDOM2.appendChild(oDOM1) -->Error
If i use the DOM object to create the object with createElement and addChild, with that fix the problem?
I figured out one way to handle this. After I have completed my document #1, then I can select a single node (the root) into a new DOM object. It works for my purpose.
oDOM2 = Createobject(MSXML2.DOMDocument)
<bunch of code and other things go here...>
oDOM1 = Createobject(MSXML2.DOMDocument)
oDOM1.Load("<SomeXML><MoreXML></MoreXML></SomeXML>")
oDOMTemp = oDOM1.selectSingleNode("//SomeXML")
oDOM2.appendChild(oDOMTemp)
Is there a better way?

Binding to events on parent page from iframe [duplicate]

I have an iframe and in order to access parent element I implemented following code:
window.parent.document.getElementById('parentPrice').innerHTML
How to get the same result using jquery?
UPDATE: Or how to access iFrame parent page using jquery?
To find in the parent of the iFrame use:
$('#parentPrice', window.parent.document).html();
The second parameter for the $() wrapper is the context in which to search. This defaults to document.
how to access iFrame parent page using jquery
window.parent.document.
jQuery is a library on top of JavaScript, not a complete replacement for it. You don't have to replace every last JavaScript expression with something involving $.
If you need to find the jQuery instance in the parent document (e.g., to call an utility function provided by a plug-in) use one of these syntaxes:
window.parent.$
window.parent.jQuery
Example:
window.parent.$.modal.close();
jQuery gets attached to the window object and that's what window.parent is.
You can access elements of parent window from within an iframe by using window.parent like this:
// using jquery
window.parent.$("#element_id");
Which is the same as:
// pure javascript
window.parent.document.getElementById("element_id");
And if you have more than one nested iframes and you want to access the topmost iframe, then you can use window.top like this:
// using jquery
window.top.$("#element_id");
Which is the same as:
// pure javascript
window.top.document.getElementById("element_id");
in parent window put :
<script>
function ifDoneChildFrame(val)
{
$('#parentPrice').html(val);
}
</script>
and in iframe src file put :
<script>window.parent.ifDoneChildFrame('Your value here');</script>
yeah it works for me as well.
Note : we need to use window.parent.document
$("button", window.parent.document).click(function()
{
alert("Functionality defined by def");
});
It's working for me with little twist.
In my case I have to populate value from POPUP JS to PARENT WINDOW form.
So I have used $('#ee_id',window.opener.document).val(eeID);
Excellent!!!
Might be a little late to the game here, but I just discovered this fantastic jQuery plugin https://github.com/mkdynamic/jquery-popupwindow. It basically uses an onUnload callback event, so it basically listens out for the closing of the child window, and will perform any necessary stuff at that point. SO there's really no need to write any JS in the child window to pass back to the parent.
There are multiple ways to do these.
I) Get main parent directly.
for exa. i want to replace my child page to iframe then
var link = '<%=Page.ResolveUrl("~/Home/SubscribeReport")%>';
top.location.replace(link);
here top.location gets parent directly.
II) get parent one by one,
var element = $('.iframe:visible', window.parent.document);
here if you have more then one iframe, then specify active or visible one.
you also can do like these for getting further parents,
var masterParent = element.parent().parent().parent()
III) get parent by Identifier.
var myWindow = window.top.$("#Identifier")

mootools - using addEvent to element not working properly?

bangin' my head against this and it's starting to hurt.
I'm having trouble with adding an event to an element.
I'm able to add the event, and then call it immediately with element.fireEvent('click'), but once the element is attached to the DOM, it does not react to the click.
example code:
var el = new Element('strong').setStyle('cursor','pointer');
el.addEvent('click',function () { alert('hi!'); });
el.replaces(old_element); // you can assume old_element exists
el.fireEvent('click'); // alert fires
however, once I attach this to the DOM, the element is not reactive to the click. styles stick (cursor is pointer when I mouseover), but no event fires. tried mouseover as well, to no avail.
any clues here? am I missing something basic? I am doing this all over the place, but in this one instance it doesn't work.
EDIT----------------
ok here's some more code. unfortunately I can't expose the real code, as it's for a project that is still under tight wraps.
basically, the nodes all get picked up as "replaceable", then the json found in the rel="" attribute sets the stage for what it should be replaced by. In this particular instance, the replaced element is a user name that should pop up some info when clicked.
again, if I fire the event directly after attaching it, all is good, but the element does not react to the click once it's attached.
HTML-----------
<p>Example: <span class='_mootpl_' rel="{'text':'foo','tag':'strong','event':'click','action':'MyAction','params':{'var1': 'val1','var2': 'val2'}}"></span></p>
JAVASCRIPT-----
assumptions:
1. below two functions are part of a larger class
2. ROOTELEMENT is set at initialize()
3. MyAction is defined before any parsing takes place (and is properly handled on the .fireEvent() test)
parseTemplate: function() {
this.ROOTELEMENT.getElements('span._mootpl_').each(function(el) {
var _c = JSON.decode(el.get('rel'));
var new_el = this.get_replace_element(_c); // sets up the base element
if (_c.hasOwnProperty('event')) {
new_el = this.attach_event(new_el, _c);
}
});
},
attach_event: function(el, _c) {
el.store(_c.event+'-action',_c.action);
el.store('params',_c.params);
el.addEvent(_c.event, function() {
eval(this.retrieve('click-action') + '(this);');
}).setStyle('cursor','pointer');
return el;
},
Works just fine. Test case: http://jsfiddle.net/2GX66/
debugging this is not easy when you lack content / DOM.
first - do you use event delegation or have event handlers on a parent / the parent element that do event.stop()?
if so, replace with event.preventDefault()
second thing to do. do not replace an element but put it somewhere else in the DOM - like document.body's first node and see if it works there.
if it does work elsewhere, see #1
though I realsie you said 'example code', you should write this as:
new Element('strong', {
styles: {
cursor: "pointer"
},
events: {
click: function(event) {
console.log("hi");
}
}
}).replaces(old_element);
no point in doing 3 separate statements and saving a reference if you are not going to reuse it. you really ought to show the ACTUAL code if you need advice, though. in this snippet you don't even set content text so the element won't show if it's inline. could it be a styling issue, what is the display on the element, inline? inline-block?
can you assign it a class that changes it on a :hover pseudo and see it do it? mind you, you say the cursor sticks which means you can mouseover it - hence css works. this also eliminates the possibility of having any element shims above it / transparent els that can prevent the event from bubbling.
finally. assign it an id in the making. assign the event to a parent element via:
parentEl.addEvent("click:relay(strong#idhere)", fn);
and see if it works that way (you need Element.delegate from mootools-more)
good luck, gotta love the weird problems - makes our job worth doing. it wouldn't be the worst thing to post a url or JSFIDDLE too...
