Drupal 7 - Render view after views_get_view_result - drupal-7

How do I render the view result that I get by calling "views_get_view_result"
So right now I have:
$variables['result'] = views_get_view_result('name', 'name-block');
And it returns an array of Object, which is what I want. Just can't figure out how to render it. Trying to render $result[0], $result[1] for example.
Thanks,
Tee

For a simple way of doing this, use
print views_embed_view('view_name', 'display_id');
which is a utility function for doing what you want to do. See https://api.drupal.org/api/views/views.module/function/views_embed_view/7
Here is a thread with additional ways of doing this, if you need the extra complexity / depth. https://drupal.org/node/951442

Can I access state values from children components in an array?

I'm very new to React, in the process of learning it for a school project. I've tried searching for this answer thinking it'd be a fairly simple solution, but I'm having trouble finding a result that matches my scenario.
Essentially I'm looking to have an array of a specific component (e.g. Child), each holding a value in their state (e.g. { value: 2 } ). I'm looking to iterate through the array, accessing each component's state.value, and calculate a total from it.
My initial thought was to hold the array in the parent's state, and then iterate through the array doing something like this:
this.state.children.map(child => (
child.state.value
))
However, the result is coming back as 'value' being undefined, leading me to believe I can't access another component's state this way.
I also looked into using refs, as described in the following article:
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-access-childs-state-in-react/
However, it seems as though that only lets me create a reference to a single child, meaning I would need a new reference for every child component in the array.
Any advice or sample code of what I could do (the more basic the better) would be greatly appreciated!

Understanding react function notation

Learning react here. Can someone walk me through how to interpret the function below:
const onElementsRemove = (elementsToRemove) => setElements((els) => removeElements(elementsToRemove, els));
As far as I understand it, this is the same as calling:
onElementsRemove(setElements(elementsToRemove(els))?
Is that correct? Is there a benefit to the first notation? Perhaps I am biased coming from the python side of the world but the second one feels more compact? Can someone help me undrstand the reasoning? Thanks!
No, those are not the same. Let's start with the inner part, which needs to be the way it is:
setElements((els) => removeElements(elementsToRemove, els))
When setting state in react, there are two options. You can either directly pass in what you want the new state to be, or you can pass in a function. If you pass in a function, then react will look up what the latest value of the state is, and call your function. Then you return what the new state will be.
So the purpose of doing it this way is to find out what the latest value in the state is. There isn't another way to do this.
Next, the outer part, which has more flexibility:
const onElementsRemove = (elementsToRemove) => /* the stuff we looked at earlier */
This is defining a function called onElementsRemove. From the name, i assume that this is going to be called at some arbitrary point of time in the future. So it's just defining the functionality, and later on you can call it, once you know which elements you want to remove. It will then turn around and set the state. For example, you would do:
onElementsRemove([1, 2, 3]); // i don't actually know what will be in the array
Maybe having this outer function is useful, maybe not. If you're having to do this fairly often it could make sense. In other cases, maybe you could directly call setElements, as in:
setElements((els) => removeElements([1, 2, 3], els));

FireStore and maps/arrays, document-list to array in Kotlin

I've finally started to understand a lot of info regarding FireStore, but I'm wondering if I can get some assistance.
If I had a setup similar to or like this:
          races
                Android
                      name: Android
                      size: medium
                       stats          <---- this is the map
                                str: 10
                                sex: 12.... (more values)
How would I parse this? I am looking to make specific TextViews apply values found in the database so that I can simply update the database and my app will populate those values so that hard coding and code updating won't be nearly as troublesome in the future.
I currently use something like this:
val androidRef = db.collection("races").document("Android")
androidRef.get().addOnSuccessListener { document ->
if (document != null) {
oneOfTheTextViews.text = document.getString("str")
} else {
}
The issue is currently I can only seem to access from collection (races) / document (android) / then a single field (I have "str" set as a single field, not part of a map or array)
What would the best practice be to do this? Should I not nest them at all? And if I can reference said nesting/mapping/array, what functions need to be called? (To be clear, I am not asking only whether or not it is possible - the reference guides and documents allude to such - but what property/class/method/etc needs to be called in order to access only one of those values or point to one of those values?).
Second question: Is there a way to get a list of document names? If I have several races, and simply want to make a spinner or recycler view based on document names as part of a collection, can I read that to the app?
What would the best practice be to do this?
If you want to get the value of your str property which is nested within your stats map, please change the following line of code:
oneOfTheTextViews.text = document.getString("str")
to
oneOfTheTextViews.text = document.getString("stats.str")
If your str property is a number and not a String, then instead of the above line of code please use this one:
oneOfTheTextViews.text = document.getLong("stats.str")
Should I not nest them at all?
No, you can nest as many properties as you want within a Map.
Is there a way to get a list of document names?
Yes, simply iterate the collection and get the document ids using getId() function.

AngularJS getting value from function in ng-if and using that value in element

My question lies in the following code. Though the code is not working now. I wan't to rewrite it in proper way so that it works.
<span ng-if="community = vm.getCommunity(invite.community_id)!=null" grv-icon-comm-type="vm.communityViewHelper.getTypeIcon(community)" ng-class="vm.communityViewHelper.getColorClass(community)"></span>
In the above code vm.getCommunity(invite.community_id) returns either null or community object. If community object is returned then I wish to call two more function in the same element where I wish to use the recently receivedcommunity value on those two function.
It's just killing my time. Please help.
Alternatively, you could use a watcher on "invite.community_id" to set community inside a controller function. Could look a bit cleaner depending on the rest of the code.
This function could even set all three values if you like.

Display Array with Navigation Data in CakePHP View

I have an Array to be displayed in a CakePHP View which contains the navigation data. Each array item contains fields like id, name, level etc. as well as another array field named children, where this structure repeats.
In the Cake PHP View it's easy to walk over the array on the first level with a foreach loop and the html-Helper to output the relevant data. But how do I ouput the child items (and then their children if present)? Normally I would do a recursive function call, but within the view you shouldn't use function look, should you? Bunt within the controller I cannot use the html helper, so I'm stuck here.
I think as a clean solution to make a helper to iterate over the array an recursively look for each elements if one of them another array (http://book.cakephp.org/#!/view/1097/Creating-Helpers)
Or if you know that your item could has one and only one child, you could ask if the actual item is an array an operate it. But I prefer the first solution.
It looks like you might try the tree behavior
http://book.cakephp.org/#!/view/1341/Basic-Usage
you need something like a recursive method that can call it's self, something like the following. https://github.com/infinitas/infinitas/blob/beta/core/menus/views/helpers/menu.php#L163
