Use a boolean expression with ng-pluralize - angularjs

Using ng-pluralize with this template:
Your subscription <span ng-pluralize count="::vm.account.subscription.expirationDays"
when="{ '-1': 'has expired!',
'0': 'expires today!',
'one': 'expires tomorrow.',
'other': 'expires in {} days.'}"></span>
Yields the following result:
Expiration Days Label
-1 Your subscription has expired!
0 Your subscription expires today!
1 Your subscription expires tomorrow!
X Your subscription expires in X days.
However, this breaks as soon as a subscription expires 2 days ago.
Is it possible to define a boolean expression as a when clause so that
vm.account.subscription.expirationDays < 0 === 'has expired!'
Currently I'm having to handle expired labels in a different element which kind of defeats the purpose of using ng-pluralize.

It looks like your scenario is, albeit perhaps a common one, too complex for ngPluralize. I also doubt it will change, because ngPluralize is based on "plural categories":
http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html
The problem being that en-US, Angular's default locale, defines only the categories "one" and "other". Anything that doesn't fall into those categories is explicitly defined (or inferred by $locale.pluralCat).
The three best options for your scenario that immediately come to me are:
1) Simplest would be to have two objects:
when="count >=0 ? positivePlurals : negativePlurals"
where, of course $scope.count = vm.account.subscription.expirationDays, positivePlurals is your positive phrases and negativePlurals is your negative phrases.
2) Wrap a localization library that supports many-or-custom plural rules (such as i18next) in a directive, and use that instead. I'm not very familiar with the popular angular-translate, but at first glance it doesn't seem to support custom pluralization rules. It does, however, allow logic in interpolation, so you might get away with that.
3) Write a directive similar to ngPluralize that supports ("-other", "x", "other"). The source for ngPluralize is available here. It would probably be as simple as modifying the statement at L211 in a way similar to:
var countIsNaN = isNaN(count);
var countIsNegative = count < 0;
if (!countIsNaN && !(count in whens)) {
// If an explicit number rule such as 1, 2, 3... is defined, just use it.
// Otherwise, check it against pluralization rules in $locale service.
count = $locale.pluralCat(count - offset);
if(countIsNegative){
count = '-'+count; // "-one", "-other"
}
}

Rails update remove number from an array attribute?

Is there a way to remove a number from an attibute array in an update? For example, if I want to update all of an alchy's booze stashes if he runs out of a particular type of booze:
Alchy has_many :stashes
Stash.available_booze_types = [] (filled with booze.ids)
Booze is also a class
#booze.id = 7
if #booze.is_all_gone
#alchy.stashes.update(available_booze_types: "remove #booze.id")
end
update: #booze.id may or may not be present in the available_booze_types array
... so if #booze.id was in any of the Alchy.stash instances (in the available_booze_types attribute array), it would be removed.
I think you can do what you want in the following way:
if #booze.is_all_gone
#alchy.stashes.each do |stash|
stash.available_booze_types.delete(#booze.id)
end
end
However, it looks to me like there are better ways to do what you are trying to do. Rails gives you something like that array by using relations. Also, the data in the array will be lost if you reset the app (if as I understand available_booze_types is an attribute which is not stored in a database). If your application is correctly set up (an stash has many boozes), an scope like the following in Stash class seems to me like the correct approach:
scope :available_boozes, -> { joins(:boozes).where("number > ?", 0) }
You can use it in the following way:
#alchy.stashes.available_boozes
which would only return the ones that are available.

How to set a context variable with dot in name?

I am trying to add a context data variable (CDV), which has a dot in its name. According to Adobe site this is correct:
s.contextData['myco.rsid'] = 'value'
Unfortunately, after calling s.t() the variable is split into two or more:
Context Variables
myco.:
rsid: value
.myco:
How can I set the variable and prevent splitting it into pieces?
You are setting it properly already. If you are referring to what you see in the request URL, that's how the Adobe library sends it. In your example, "myco" is a namespace, and "rsid" is a variable in that namespace. And you can have other variables in that namespace. For example if you have
s.contextData['myco.rsid1'] = 'value';
s.contextData['myco.rsid2'] = 'value';
You would see in the AA request URL (just showing the relevant part):
c.&myco.&rsid1=value&rsid2=value&.myco&.c
I assume you are asking because you want to more easily parse/qa AA collection request URLs from the browser network tab, extension, or some unit tester? There is no way to force AA to not behave like this when using dot syntax (namespaces) in your variables.
But, there isn't anything particularly special about using namespaces for your contextData variables; it's just there for your own organization if you choose. So if you want all variables to be "top level" and show full names in the request URL, then do not use dot syntax.
If you want to still have some measure of organization/hierarchy, I suggest you instead use an underscore _ :
s.contextData['myco_rsid1'] = 'value';
s.contextData['myco_rsid2'] = 'value';
Which will give you:
c.&myco_rsid1=value&myco_rsid2=value&.c
Side Note: You cannot do full object/dot notation syntax with s.contextData, e.g.
s.contextData = {
foo:'bar', // <--- this will properly parse
myco:{ // this will not properly parse
rsid:'value' //
} //
};
AA library does not parse this correctly; it just loops through top level properties of contextData when building the request URL. So if you do full object syntax like above, you will end up with:
c.&foo=bar&myco=%5Bobject%20Object%5D&&.c
foo would be okay, but you end up with just myco with "[object Object]" as the recorded value. Why Adobe didn't allow for full object syntax and just JSON.stringify(s.contextData) ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Scala Slick update column value

I'm using Slick with Play but am having some problems when trying to update a column value as it is not being updated, although I don't get any error back.
I have a column that tells me if the given row is selected or not. What I want to do is to get the current selected value (which is stored in a DB column) and then update that same column to have the opposite value. Currently (after many unsuccessful attempts) I have the following code which compiles and runs but nothing happens behind the scenes:
val action = listItems.filter(_.uid === uid).map(_.isSelected).result.map { selected =>
val isSelected = selected.head
println(s"selected before -> $isSelected")
val q = for {li <- listItems if li.uid === uid} yield li.isSelected
q.update(!isSelected)
}
db.run(action)
What am I doing wrong (I am new to slick so this may not make any sense at all!)
this needs to be seperate actions: one read followed by an update. Slick allows composition of actions in a neat way:
val targetRows = listItems.filter(_.uid === uid).map(_.isSelected)
val actions = for {
booleanOption <- targetRows.result.headOption
updateActionOption = booleanOption.map(b => targetRows.update(!b))
affected <- updateActionOption.getOrElse(DBIO.successful(0))
} yield affected
db.run(actions)
Update:
Just as a side note, RDBMSs usually facilitate constructs for performing updates in one database roundtrip such as updating a boolean column to it's opposite value without needing to read it first and manually negate it. This would look like this in mysql forexample:
UPDATE `table` SET `my_bool` = NOT my_bool
but to my knowledge the high level slick api doesn't support this construct. hence the need for two seperate database actions in your case. I myself would appreciate it if somebody proved me wrong.

Django - would these query sets be cached?

class UnassignedThread(models.Manager):
def get_queryset(self):
return super(UnassignedThread,
self).get_queryset().filter(
_irc_name__isnull=True)
Would results = ThreadVault.unassigned_threads.all() be cached? I am not certain if _isnull=True counts as being a evaluated(since the evaluation causes the cache).
Also, if have a model called ThreadVault, and I want to look up if threads #777 and #888 exist in the database, which way is the best to utilize cache to do the look up?
ThreadVault.objects.get(thread_id="777")
ThreadVault.objects.get(thread_id="888")
or
results = ThreadVault.objects.all()
for ticket in results:
if ticket.thread_id == "777" or ticket.thread_id == "888":
do something
No, querysets are lazy until they are sliced or iterated. filter simply adds conditions to the query, but does not evaluate it.
For your second question, neither of these are great, although the first is vastly preferable to the second (which involves loading and iterating through every object in the table). Instead, you should use exists() in conjunction with an __in filter:
ThreadVault.objects.filter(thread_id__in=["777", "888"].exists()
Neither of these questions has anything to do with caching.
th_ids = ["777","888"]
ThreadVault.objects.filter(thread_id__in=th_ids).exists()
for caching your view
from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page
#cache_page(60 * 15)
def my_view(request):

Document status that depend on the user type object

I have the following objects: L1User, L2User, L3User (all inherits from User) and Document.
Every user can create the document but depending on the user type, the document will have a different status. So in case it's L1User, the document will be created with L1 status and so on:
Solution 1
Please note that after document is created, it will be saved in the database, so it should be natural to have a method create_document(User user) in Document object. In the method body I could check which type is the user and set manually appropriate status. Such approach seems rather not OOP to me.
Solution 2
Ok, so the next approach would be to have all users implement a common method (say create_document(Document doc)) which will set a status associated with the user and save the document in the database. My doubt here is that the document should be saved in it's own class, not the user.
Solution 3
So the final approach would similar to the above, except that the user will return modified document object to it's create_document(User user) method and save will be performed there. The definition of the method would be like this:
create_document(User user)
{
this = user.create_document(this);
this->save();
}
It also doesn't seems right to me...
Can anyone suggest a better approach?
I think that both Solutions 2 and 3 are ok from the OO point of view, since you are properly delegating the status assignment to the user object (contrary to solution 1, whare you are basically doing a switch based on the user type). Whether to choose 2 or 3 is more a matter of personal tastes.
However, I have a doubt: why do you pass a document to a create_document() method? I would go for a message name that best describes what it does. For example, in solution 3 (the one I like the most) I would go for:
Document>>create_document(User user)
{
this = user.create_document();
this->save();
}
and then
L1User>>create_document()
{
return new Document('L1');
}
or
Document>>create_document(User user)
{
this = new Document()
this = user.set_document_type(this);
this->save();
}
and then
L1User>>set_document_type(document)
{
document.setType('L1');
}
Edit: I kept thinking about this and there is actually a fourth solution. However the following approach works only if the status of a document doesn't change through its lifetime and you can map the DB field with a getter instead of a property. Since the document already knows the user and the status depends on the user, you can just delegate:
Document>>getStatus()
{
return this.user.getDocumentStatus();
}
