Loopback : How to get one model data from other mode service method? - angularjs

I'm using loopback angular sdk I'm having two models Tags and Project. I want to get Tags related to that project. I'm having lb-services. I don't know what method to call and how to call it from services. please help. I've tried this code to get tags which is related to project who's id is 1.
Project.Tag.find(
{ id: 1 }
);

Here's an example from a live app ... For a relationship described like so:
https://github.com/ShoppinPal/warehouse/blob/490cbaccfb60922645173a34d53327629b989028/common/models/user-model.json#L28
I can pull the related models on the angular side like so:
https://github.com/ShoppinPal/warehouse/blob/dbf8d1e25592ec9e76d9f6a5f2af6ba6ca74fd9c/client/app/scripts/controllers/login.js#L57
If your problem is purely syntactical then please paste code from model.json file as well so the community can help detect & fix it.

2sxc - Getting URL path from DNN link parameter / Tab ID

I am working on integrating a 2sxc content WebAPI feed into a ReactJS application.
I have managed to get a JSON feed of data into the application, and am in the process of mapping out the data.
I'm wondering what the best practice would be to "resolve" a URL which is coming through as a DNN Page/ Tab ID.
Below I will showcase the various points this is referenced...
First the Setup of the entity / data types...
Then this is an example entry with the data filled out... The page link / URL is set up to point to another internal page on the DNN website:
Finally you can see this data item come through as a JSON feed via the 2sxc API:
What is the best way to convert this piece of data into a URL which can be used in a SPA type application?
There isn't any "server-side" code going on, just reading a JSON feed on the client side...
My initial idea would be to parse this piece of data in JS, to extract the number then use something like this:
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/tabid/85/default.aspx
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/default.aspx?tabid=85
I was hoping someone with more experience would be able to suggest a better / cleaner approach.
Thanks in advance
If you were server-side in Razor you'd be doing something like this:
#using DotNetNuke.Common
View List
XXXX = Dnn.Tab.TabID or define a string with the tab id you want
I seem to have a vague memory that I saw somewhere that Daniel (2sxc) has a way to use Globals.NavigateUrl() or similar on the client side, but I have no idea where or if I did see that.
The Default.aspx?tabid=xx format will certainly work, as it's the oldest DNN convention and is still used in fallbacks. The urls aren't nice, but it's ok.
The reason you're seeing this is because the query doesn't perform the automatic lookup with the AsDynamic(...) does for you. There is an endpoint to look them up, but they are not official, so they could change and therefor I don't want to suggest that you use them.
So if you really want a nicer url, you should either see if DNN has a REST API for this, or you could create a small own 2sxc-api endpoint (in the api folder) just to look that up, then using the NavigateURL. Would be cool if you shared your work.

Integrating noflo and AngularJS using the-graph

I'm working to integrate noflo into AngularJS. For some reason, I've only been able to find an old answer that seemed to direct users wanting to do this to "the-graph", but wasn't super-clear: github.com/noflo/noflo/issues/286.
I am working to attempt to integrate into AngularJS; if anyone has a working example of doing this, a plukr or fiddle would be appreciated.
Secondly, the "left-click" option that allows editing node properties doesn't appear functional in the-graph example. It seems to work here, but not here. I was wondering how to get the search/properties edit box for each node to function when including inside an existing UI.
So, in sum,
How can I get the "left-click" node properties to show up in a custom UI?
How can I best integrate noflo into AngularJS? The-graph has a ton of other libraries that appear to need to be added (React, Polymer, HammerJS, KlayJS, KlayJS-NoFlo, etc..)
Thanks for any help!
It is not clear what you hope to achieve. Do you want to:
Program webapps using NoFlo and AngularJS?
Make an app (using AngularJS) with a node-editor like the one used in NoFlo UI (the-graph)?
Or something else?

build website 'online help' with angularjs

Starting with a website build with AngularJS as frontend and a ReST API set as backend. I would like to append an online help content.
Does exist a project or a framework to do that quickly (using angularjs powerfull) ?
I have no special mandatory requirements. I think that two concept could be important:
help section representation as a tree,
quick link between webapplication and online help.
JHipser may be the one you need.
I finally decided to build it without additional framework:
a flat json file that describe the structure and contents of my online help,
a controller with $http.get(...) embedded to get back the content
a dedicated help page : I re-use the bootstrap help menu and I use the ng-repeat directive to show the active content.
(Anyway Thanks #Shaojiang Cai for your suggest).

I need to implement Asp.net Web API 2 and consume it by Sencha Ext JS

I want to implement a web-based API (using ASP.NET Web API 2) and consume it by the client Side library (Sencha Ext JS).
My application should include
A simple user registration form.
A login page for admin.
CRUD operations for users' submissions.
Notes:
I do not want to include any backend code (i.e C#) in the we application, I want to implement it using the HTML/Javascript only, that is Ext JS.
I want the Web API to be RESTful.
I want to protect admin pages.
I want to use the SQL Server to store users' submissions.
All of that requirements should be implemented using the ASP.net Web API 2 and Ext JS only.
So far, I did initial search and I got a lot of learning for either the ASP.net API 2 or the Ext JS. But I couldn't have a guide that help me to fulfill the above requirements or help me to have both technologies work together.
Pleas help me on either way.
Or generally, can you help me get started work in combining both: Asp.net Web API 2 and any client side that consumes it, such as Sencha Ext JS or any other client side. It is not necessarily to be Ext JS.
Thank you so much.
Thanks to StackOverflow.com
If it were me, I'd use the DirectAPI for asp.net https://github.com/elishnevsky/ext-direct-mvc
You create webapi controllers, just like you normally would. The only difference is the the controllers that need to be used by EXT should inherit from DirectController.
If you follow the directions on that page, you'll end up with a globally available proxy object that matches the name of the controller and the public methods hanging off of the controller become methods of that object.
That is, server side controller MyAwesomeController with method DoSomething() becomes MyAwesome.DoSomething.
If you attribute the method as [NamedArguements] you can create methods such as
DoSomething(int id, int foo)
and pass from javascript as DoSomething({id: 20, foo: 30});
Since it is still just a controller, you can attribute permissions and return json as you would in any other situation.
If you get stuck, use the debugger and spend the time to figure out what's really going on. This all works in 4.x and I've tried it in 5.x and it still works there as well. But I wouldn't jump into 5.x just yet as there are still several bugs that need to be worked out by the sencha team before it is ready for prime time.
ExtJs has a REST proxy for the data. So what you try to do should be possible. The proxy can be configured and be finetuned.
I used the JSON proxy. ExtJs has very powerful filter and sort capabilities, both server and client side. In my experience difficulties arose when filtering and sorting server side. There is only sparse documentation on how the parameters are passed and which configurations have what effects.
Since you also develop the REST api, you can adapt to those details. You just have to do some research.
Here is not the place to ask about guides. For Asp I cannot help you, I never touched it. If you use ExtJs, you are free to choose you backend. For ExtJs, the start is pretty straight forward :
get Sencha cmd and generate a skeleton app.
follow the tutorial
create one file per class definition.
the API docs are great. If you still lack something SO is great too.
what you have to find out by yourself is the exact way parameters are passed to the backend and how to format the response.

Drupal Views from Feeds

I have setup a feeds importer to grab news from another site. It has the built in block that's working just fine. Now I need to customize the output. How do I add more fields to the block? Tried with Views, which is kinda working, but it's not updating.
Anyone had any success making a view from the feed?
Have you already try to use the Agregator Module ?
I've already have a similar problem, just by "mix" Aggregator & Feeds modules and, works fine.
http://drupal.org/project/feeds > It provide a import/aggregate many supports as XML, RPC, OPML, CSV, ATOM and more ...
