Can anyone help with this problem? I have nested data which I am trying to set in the initialize event of my Marionette/Backbone model. Here is an example:
{
"items": [
{
"name": "Coke",
"description": "Fizzy drink",
"price": [
{
"retail": 2.50,
"shop": 3.50
}
],
},
...
So, I can get at this data in the model's initialize funciton like this:
...
initialize: function() {
this.name = this.get('name');
this.description = this.get('description');
}
To get the price, I have tried, for instance:
this.price = this.get('price[0].shop');
... and many other variations.
My question is, how do I get the price out of this structure?
The price will end up in a standard template e.g. <%= price %>
many thanks
If you are getting name like this this.get('name') as you said, then to get shop, try below.
this.price = this.get('price')[0].shop;

I'm using angular 1.5.9 and I have a JSON object like this:
var data=[
{"id":1,"name":"object 1", childs:[
{"id":51,"name":"object 51", childs:[]},
]},
{"id":2,"name":"object 2", childs:[
{"id":11,"name":"object 11", childs:[]},
{"id":12,"name":"object 12", childs:[
{"id":13,"name":"object 100", childs:[]},
]},
]},
{"id":3,"name":"object 3", childs:[]},
{"id":1,"name":"object 1", childs:[]}
];
I need to filter this tree so that I get all the elements (branches or leaves whose name contains the filter string and all the parents.
i.e: filtering for "100" will result in
[
{"id":2,"name":"object 2", childs:[
{"id":12,"name":"object 12", childs:[
{"id":13,"name":"object 100", childs:[]},
]},
]},
]
This data will then be rendered in a customized tree directive using ng-repeat over the data itself
I'm wondering if someone can suggest a clean and efficent way to achieve this. All the code I've written seems to be too complex and end up traversing the tree so many times that a better way must exist.
actual metacode is somewhat like
* sequenially read ech JSON object in main array
* if name matches add a property (visible:true) and travel back to the beginning setting all the parents' visible:trre
* if childs array contain something, re-call the main filter function to scan all childrens
This could be somewhat acceptable for small datasets, but on large object will probably be very inefficient.
You can just write some recursive javascript for this, something like:
function findObjectAndParents(item, name) {
if (item.name.split(' ')[1] == name) {
return true;
}
for (var i = 0; i < item.childs.length; i++) {
if (findObjectAndParents(item.childs[i], name)) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
And use it like this:
var searchName = "100";
var filtered = data.filter(function(item) {
return findObjectAndParents(item, searchName);
});
Ref the answer:
A Javascript function to filter tree structured json with a search term. exclude any object which donot match the search term
function search(array, name) {
const s = (r, { childs, ...object }) => {
if (object.name.includes(name)) {
r.push({ object, childs: [] });
return r;
}
childs = childs.reduce(s, []);
if (childs.length) r.push({ ...object, childs });
return r;
};
return array.reduce(s, []);
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(search(data, '100'),0,2));
We have created an array of complextype(Carrier field) objects. See below metadata
{ shortName : 'Person',
namespace : 'Demo',
autoGeneratedKeyType : breeze.AutoGeneratedKeyType.Identity,
"dataProperties": [
{
"name": "carriers",
"complexTypeName":"Carrier:#Test",
"isScalar":false
}]
}
The Carrier entity is defined as below:
{
"shortName": "Carrier",
"namespace": "Test",
"isComplexType": true,
"dataProperties": [
{
"name": "Testing",
"isScalar":true,
"dataType": "String"
}
]
}
We have the following matching data for the above entities:
{
carriers: [
{
Testing : 'InputBox1'
},
{
Testing : 'InputBox2'
}
]
}
We are trying to dynamically add the complextype object(Carrier) to the above carriers array by using the following approach:
var test = {
"Testing" : "Test"
};
var result = manager.createEntity('Carrier', test);
The above code throws an exception(undefined is not a function) inside breeze.debug.js at line number 12457(see below code)
entity = entityType.createEntity(initialValues);
The exception is thrown since the complextype entity does not have 'createEntity' function in it.
What are we missing here?
Excellent question - Sorry I didn't have a chance to address this earlier.
When adding a complexType object you need to use the createInstance() method instead of the createEntity.
var thisEntityType = manager.metadataStore.getEntityType('Carrier');
var thisEntity = thisEntityType.createInstance(initialValues);
Basically you get the complexType and then create an instance of it using the values you want assigned. Keep in mind the initial values should be a hash object of course. Often I will include a helper function to do this for me like this -
function createComplexType(entityType, constructorProperties) {
var thisEntityType = manager.metadataStore.getEntityType(entityType);
var thisEntity = thisEntityType.createInstance(constructorProperties);
return thisEntity;
}
I'm trying to merge two objects into a single multidimensional object for use in Angularjs controller by the 'unique_id'. (Note I also have Underscore Js added in).
Object #1 example:
[
{ "unique_id": "001", "title": "Putting Green Challenge - Motion Depends on Force and Mass" },
{ "unique_id": "002", "title": "Molecules to Organisms: Frog Life Cycle" }
]
Object #2 example (has MANY more rows than object 1..):
[
{
"ab_id": "76153F02-29F3-11D8-95EA-951BF95D9AEF",
"unique_id": "001",
"title": "How Speed Relates to Energy",
"state": "NY",
"document_title": "Core Curriculum",
"grade_code": "K-4",
"grade_descr": "Elementary",
"state_id": "1.S2.3a",
"state_text": "Use appropriate \"inquiry and process skills\" to collect data"
},
{
"ab_id": "7980A762-29F3-11D8-BD14-861D7EA8D134",
"unique_id": "001",
"title": "How Speed Relates to Energy",
"state": "NY",
"document_title": "Core Curriculum",
"grade_code": "5-8",
"grade_descr": "Intermediate",
"state_id": "1.S3.2d",
"state_text": "formulate and defend explanations and conclusions as they relate to scientific phenomena"
}
]
My Controller:
abApp.controller("abEE", function(abService, $http, $scope, $q, _) {
var abApp = this;
$scope.abData = $http.get('/data/ab_activities.json', {
cache: false
});
$scope.eeData = $http.get('/activities/eedata', {
cache: false
});
$q.all([$scope.eeData, $scope.abData]).then(function(values) {
var val = ??? This is where I want to merge the objects into one big multidimensional object..
});
Here is the output of console.dir(values);
0 Object { data=[28], status=200, config={...}, more...}
1 Object { data=[743], status=200, config={...}, more...}
This is the desired output I'd like to try and get:
[
{ "unique_id": "001", "title": "Putting Green Challenge - Motion Depends on Force and Mass", "alignments": [{"ab_id": "76153F02-29F3-11D8-95EA-951BF95D9AEF","unique_id": "001","title": "How Speed Relates to Energy",...}, {"ab_id": "7980A762-29F3-11D8-BD14-861D7EA8D134", "unique_id": "001", "title": "How Speed Relates to Energy",...}]
]
Edit
after you updated the question, i created this plunker
hopes it's what you meant
To merge all objects by unique_id
var unions = {};
$q.all([$scope.eeData, $scope.abData]).then(function(values)
{
for (var i = 0; i< values.length; i++)
{
var value = values[i];
if (!unions[value.unique_id])
{
unions[value.unique_id] = {};
}
angular.extend(unions[value.unique_id], value);
}
});
// Do somthing with 'unions'
...
If you could switch to use lodash instead of underscore, it can be achieved like this:
var val = _.values(_.merge(_.indexBy(values[0].data, 'unique_id'), _.indexBy(values[1].data, 'unique_id')));
The underscore doesn't have _.merge(), you have to loop through each property without it.
I don't think angular or underscore have this kind of functionality. I would do something like the following pseudo-code:
tempObject = {}
for object in objectArray
if tempObject[object.unique_id] isnt undefined
tempObject[object.unique_id] = object
else angular.extend(tempObject[object.unique_id], object) // or the other way around depending on your preference
resultingArray = []
for object, key of tempObject
resultingArray.push(object)
You will have to run the for object in objectArray for both the returned arrays but that should work and is probably more efficient than most merge algorithms as at most it will loop through each returned arrays twice.
how to search array of object in backbone js.The collection contain persons model.
[{
name: "John",
age: "18",
likes: {
food: "pizza",
drinks: "something",
}
},
......
]
how can i get persons who likes something.
i did try collection.where({likes :{food : "pizza"}});
Since your food property is in an object on the Person's attributes, using where (which by default just looks at the flat attributes) isn't going to work. You can use the filter method to apply a truth test to all of the items in your collection and just get the ones that pass.
In the code you posted, it doesn't look like you have a Backbone Collection proper, just a regular array of objects.
Since Underscore is on the page, you can use it to help filter through your list.
var people = [
{
name: "John",
age: "18",
likes: {
food: "pizza",
drinks: "something",
}
},
......
];
var likesPizza = _.filter(people, function(person) {
return person.likes.food === "pizza";
});
If it is in fact a Backbone Collection, you can use
this.collection.filter(people, function(person) {
return person.get('likes').food === "pizza";
});
I'm sure I make one of these Backbone newbie mistakes but after a hour of searching around I didn't found a solution.
Here's the problem: When I try to get a filtered model from my collection theres a type error "productCollection.getProductByName("M020012").toJSON is not a function".
But if I change the filter method to a simple "return this.at(0)" I get a valid model.
Why is that and what is the solution?
Here's the JSFiddle
var products = [{
"name": "M020013",
"gender": "M",
"pictures": [{
"picture": {}}]},
{
"name": "M020012",
"gender": "M",
"pictures": [{
"picture": {}}]},
{
"name": "M020011",
"gender": "M",
"pictures": [{
"picture": {}}]}
];
var Product = Backbone.Model.extend({});
var ProductCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model: Product,
getProductByName: function(productName) {
//return this.at(0);
return this.filter(
function(product) {
return product.get('name') === productName;
});
}
});
var productCollection = new ProductCollection();
productCollection.on('reset', function() {
console.log('reset');
console.log(productCollection.getProductByName('M020012'));
console.log(productCollection.getProductByName('M020012').toJSON());
});
productCollection.reset(products);
It's because filter returns an array of models. And an Array in javascript does not have a toJSON function.
Since you want to return a model instead of an array, then you can use the find in place of filter. The find method returns the first model that matches the criteria
Here's what the code would look like:
getProductByName: function(productName) {
return this.find(function(production) {
return production.get('name') === productName;
});
}
