Extjs - How to get displayfields from itemselector? - extjs

The Extjs Itemselector component has methods like getValue, getSubmitData, getSubmitValue which will return the keys of the records that are selected.
I am looking for a better way than taking the keys of the records selected from the component and fetching for the record from the store by searching the store in a sequential fashion. This is a very time expensive solution which is not working well for me since the itemselector has a large number of records.
Question : is there a way to retrieve the displayed string/value (in the selected part of the itemselector) along with the keys directly from the component and not as above ?
thanks

This works in my code to get an array of all the records which you can then get the values from, it may not work in yours if you have a different version of Extjs:
itemSelectorField.toField.store.getRange();
Oh and if you want the display values as a string list:
itemSelectorField.toField.store.getRange().collect("display_value_propery_name").join(",");

How to store custom sort order in a web app

I am developing a React Firebase web app, and I want to implement a "custom" sort on top of sorting by name and date. How should I go about storing this "sort" information?
Do developers append a "key" property to the components themselves? How will reordering work then (do i shift every component's key values by 1? That seems inefficient). Or should I do a separate file or database entry that just stores the order as an array of component id keys?
Should all of this be resorted on page load or should I reorganize the data in a way where as soon as I request them they're already sorted?
I've tried adding the order key prop to every item but it seems overly complicated for a simple feature. I haven't had much luck searching this online.
Firestore allows you to orderBy and limit queries.
You can also specify a cursor to paginate more data on request.
See This Example in the docs for more info.

WiX - Dataset Mismatch

I have a website for my Theatre Institute and on the homepage, I have a Slideshow with Two Repeaters on two different slides connected to two different datasets. I use them to display event information/status from my database collection.
Slide1: recentRepeater <-- recentDataset <-- myCollection (For Recent Events)
Slide2: upcomingRepeater <-- upcomingDataset <-- myCollection (For Upcoming Events)
The Problem
While loading, the dataset2 data is shown in repeater1 i.e. RECENT EVENTS gets displayed in the UPCOMING EVENTS section and it gets corrected after fully loading. Being the first thing to be shown on the site, I do not want it to get messed up. This is a negative impact on my website
How It Works
I have stored dates of the Event in the database as a number in YYYYMMDD format. For example:
20-April-2019 ---> 20190420
I have properly connected the datasets to the repeater elements, set the dataset result limit to 2
I sorted the results to be produced based on the YYYYMMDD number
Ascending for upcomingDataset
Descending for recentDataset
I generate the YYYYMMDD format number for that day and filtered the results produced by the dataset by the .setFilter() function
$w("#recentDataset").setFilter(wixData.filter()
.lt("dateNumber", YYYYMMDD_today)
)
$w("#upcomingDataset").setFilter(wixData.filter()
.ge("dateNumber", YYYYMMDD_today)
)
How can I prevent this from happening..?
Thanks in Advance
It's hard to say what's going on without actually playing with your site. I think both of your datasets are connected to the same collection. I would guess the problem is that the dataset is only being filtered after the page is loaded. You can verify this by turning the console to verbose mode in preview.
If that is indeed the problem, I can think of three possible fixes/workarounds:
Set the filter's in the dataset settings instead of setting them programmatically. (This is the easiest option.)
Hide the repeaters until the filters are set. (This is a bit of a hack.)
Store the promises returned by the setFilter functions and return them using Promise.all() from the onReady(). (This is the fanciest option. I think it will work, but if you don't need to set the filters programmatically, you might as well do option 1 instead.)

Updating a react control built from multiple sources

I would like to build an editable table that contains columns that are from multiple subtrees of the graphql data returned by relay.
I have a control that creates an intermediate object for each of the rows from the relay data and stores the list in state.
The problem I have is that when the data which I built the intermediate object from changes then the editable table needs to know about it.
Is this correct ? Is there some other way to do this ?
The controls that own the data the table is built from are not related, would the only way to do this then be the global event system solution mentioned in the docs ?
Thanks

Dataview List and items

I am looking at a different way of doing my application.
Actually It's kind of static. My Projects have Categories. Each Category has Subcategories. Categories are containers and Subcategories are element which have values that can be edited.
After analysis of the data , we saw that it was not enough general for it. We are now looking at a Tree Structure. Doing so, we would have Projects filled with Folders/Categories) and those Folders would be filled with other Category/Folders or with SubCategories/Items/Files. That way we can go has deep has we want in complexity.
That is doable, I know it. What I need to know is how hard it will be to implement it in the app.views...
Is it possible to have a single Ext.DataView.dataview display different Ext.DataView.component.DataItem side by side.
Exemple : Having a row in my List that shows a slider and update itself according to it, but that on the 2nd row it is an arrow that on click would open the next level of my Tree.
Visual:
DataView_List
Small Car---------------------------Label------------------------SLIDER
Fuel----------------------------------Label------------------------------ >
SUV----------------------------------Label------------------------TxtField
Small Car and SUV are leaves with different template and Fuel is a category/folder that need to open on click.
So I already have 3 differents templates that would need to show in the same dataview list.
How should I proceed to achieve such results? Is Dataview List the way to good or should I implement my own kind of list inside a container?
If you want to present different kinds of data inside one list or dataview - you can achieve by following strategy:
You still need to use one store to keep it all
In the model class include something like 'record_type' field indicating what kind of data you have
Combine all data you need into one model
Create a template that based on the 'record_type' would render different content
Here is how your template would look like:
<tpl switch="record_type">
<tpl case="car">
<div>CAR + SLIDER</div>
<tpl case="fuel">
<div>FUEL + LABEL</div>
<tpl default">
</tpl>
This is screenshot from my list which contains multiple record types and uses this approach:

VB.net Winforms dropdownbox data load question

I have a VB2005 winforms application that will loads city data from my database table. This is to ensure that the user enters the correct city spelling, in order to receive an accurate quote. Currently, there are about 150K cities that are being loaded to the dropdown listbox on page load. It takes about 30-40 seconds for that page to load.
My initial thought was to allow the user to select the state first. Then load the city values. But the user has the option of going back and requesting a quote for a different city / state.
Is there a more efficient way to handle this?
Quotes are based on state and city name? If so, your approach sounds good, but consider basing quotes on zip instead, or zip/city name. Not everyone will find their city in your 150K list, and some don't live in named cities at all.
For starters you could have a BackgroundWorker or Thread load the data in the background into an array or list. You'd then pass this data to the comboBox when needed.
If you use this method, you must find a way of reindexing the fields from time to time though.
