KendoUI compued observable - kendo-ui

When this.get('name') is used in a computed observable calling that computed observable results in the error this.get is not a function.
Example: https://dojo.telerik.com/aXupaPog

In Javascript this is referes to diffrent objects depending on how a function is called. In your example you are receiving function from view model and then execute it.
var v = viewModel.get('v')();
In that case this inside function is referes to 'Window' object. To avoid this error you should call function as viewModel member.
var v = viewModel.v();
or manually set this to viewModel via bind/apply/call methods.
var v = viewModel.get('v').call(viewModel);

Not able to use pushPayload in ember

I have to store a data from ajax call to model.Now I am using "pushPayload" to save the data to my model.But it is throwing error
serializer.pushPayload is not a function
In controller I am doing something like this after the ajax call.
currentState.store.pushPayload('discover',result)
serializer (discover.js)
export default DS.JSONSerializer.extend(DS.EmbeddedRecordsMixin,{
isNewSerializerAPI: true,
primaryKey:'pk',
normalize: function(typeClass, hash) {
var fields = Ember.get(typeClass, 'fields');
fields.forEach(function(field) {
var payloadField = Ember.String.underscore(field);
if (field === payloadField) { return; }
hash[field] = hash[payloadField];
delete hash[payloadField];
});
return this._super.apply(this, arguments);
}
});
How do I save the data recieved from server to my model.The reponse is an array of object
store.pushPayload internally uses either application serializer's pushPayload function or the given model's specific serializer's pushPayload function. In your case model specific serializer is of JSONSerializer type which doesn't have the required function.
You can refer JSONAPISerialzer, which has the pushPayload function and try to replica it in your JSONSerializer.

How to manipulate async scope in angularjs

I have this defined in controller
$scope.files = {};
Then I have a ajax call to get data and pass to $scope.files;
In the same controller. I have a ng-click function which I want to manipulate $scope.files
How to do that because it is async. I tried and the $scope.files always return blank {}
$scope.click = function() {
//Do something to $scope.files;
}
My fault. this is not related to async. I can actually get the data.
My problem is the return data is object and I tried to use .length to get the length of object so it always return 0 and {}. And I found .length for array.
and Object.keys(a) for object sizes
Looks like you need to use promise/deferred implementation. Promises allow you to execute code and once the promise is returned then continue.

namespacing with js prototype framework

When you create a class in the name space of example.
em.components.grid
em.components.grid.Popup = Class.create(
{
initialize: function(params){
...
},
show:function(){
// create or show
}
});
Does this mean in other classes I have access to the show method if I use the namespace path above.
// Another class in prototype
em.components.grid.Popup.show();
Or does your new class your trying to access show from have to be in the same namespace.
Is namespacing kind of like packages in other languages. So by giving a namespace you can keep all your classes related to for example grid in one name space and possible other classes unrelated to grid in another namespace.
Update
This raises 2 other questions, lets say i create my class like above with the same namespace. Then in another js document I instantiate the class
var popup = new em.components.grid.Popup()
Then popup would be a global variable not? which I don't want to have in my files if possible. Seen as I have went to all the trouble of giving it a unique name space. To then create an instance of the class on a global variable somewhere else in a js file.
So in the case of a popup is it best to have it global or would it be best to create it on a rollover event and remove it on a rollout event.
//pseudo code
$$('domelementClass').observe('mouseover', function(event) {
var popup= new em.components.grid.Popup(event.target);
})
the issue I see with above is I have no reference to remove it on the rollout.
$$('domelementClass').observe('mouseout', function(event) {
popup.remove();
})
Namespacing has the same purpose of packaging, avoiding collision. As your example above shows, in JavaScript, you namespace functions and variables by making them properties of an object.
Does this mean in other classes I have access to the show method if I
use the namespace path above.
// Another class in prototype em.components.grid.Popup.show();
In this case no because 'show()' is an instance method, it can only be called once you have a new Popup. You can use your namespaced Popup as an instance in another class or if you want to call show like a static method in Java then you would call Popup.prototype.show();
var Popup = Class.create({
initialize: function(params){
alert("I exist");
},
show:function(){
alert("show!");
}
});
// Popup.show(); // would error:
// Uncaught TypeError: Object function klass() {
// this.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
// } has no method 'show'
Popup.prototype.show();
foo = new Popup();
foo.show();

setCallbackHandler function with multiple inputs

I am sure there is a simple answer to this one, I'm just too new to Ajax to see it.
I am using CF 9 and i am trying to setup the callbackfuntion to take multiple inputs, however, I don't know the default name of the results from the ajax call.
here is what works:
var mySSN = document.getElementById("SSN");
var cfc = new myajax();
cfc.setCallbackHandler(UpdateValidationNotes);
cfc.ValidateSSN(mySSN.value);
And here is what i am trying to do:
var mySSN = document.getElementById("SSN");
var cfc = new myajax();
cfc.setCallbackHandler(UpdateValidationNotes(MyField, AjaxResults);
cfc.ValidateSSN(mySSN.value);
However, i don't know how to reference the ajax results since the callback handler is doing it automagically. Can anyone help out the lose newbie?
Thanks
Give a try like this,
var mySSN = document.getElementById("SSN");
var cfc = new myajax();
cfc.setCallbackHandler(function(AjaxResults) {UpdateValidationNotes(MyField, AjaxResults);});
cfc.ValidateSSN(mySSN.value);
The callback handler function can only take one argument, which will be passed to your handler function automagically. This will be the return value from the CFC that the proxy has deserialized from JSON to a JavaScript representation.(see CFAjaxProxy docmentation)
When you call setCallbackHandler, you just pass the function with no arguments.
It looks like you are trying to determine which field you just validated to possibly display a notice if it doesn't validate. In such cases, what I do is submit the field name to the server and have the server return it back in the response.

in jQuery what is the difference between $.myFunction and $.fn.myFunction?

I'm delving into writing plugins for jQuery and I'm trying to understand the distinction between $.f and $.fn.f
I've seen pluggin authors use both, or sometimes assign $.f = $.fn.f
Can someone explain this to me, reasoning, benefits, etc?
Looking at the jQuery source code will clear things up. By the way, jQuery and $ refer to the same object, and this is how the jQuery object is defined:
var jQuery = function( selector, context ) {
return new jQuery.fn.init( selector, context );
}
jQuery is a function and in Javascript, a function is also an object of the type Function. So jQuery.f or $.f attaches f to the jQuery Function object, or call it the jQuery class if you will.
if you look at jQuery's source, you'll see that jQuery.prototype has been assigned to jQuery.fn
jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype
So, whenever you attach a method (or property) to jQuery.fn, as in jQuery.fn.f = .., or $.fn.f = .., or jQuery.prototype.f = .., or $.prototype.f = .., that method will be available to all instances of this jQuery class (again, there are no classes in Javascript, but it may help in understanding).
Whenever you invoke the jQuery() function, as in jQuery("#someID"), a new jQuery instance is created on this line:
return new jQuery.fn.init( selector, context );
and this instance has all the methods we attached to the prototype, but not the methods that were attached directly to the Function object.
You will get an exception if you try calling a function that wasn't defined at the right place.
$.doNothing = function() {
// oh noez, i do nuttin
}
// does exactly as advertised, nothing
$.doNothing();
var jQueryEnhancedObjectOnSteroids = $("body");
// Uncaught TypeError: Object #<an Object> has no method 'doNothing'
jQueryEnhancedObjectOnSteroids.doNothing();
Oh, and finally to cut a long thread short and to answer your question - doing $.f = $.fn.f allows you to use the function as a plugin or a utility method (in jquery lingo).
The $.f is a utility function whereas $.fn.f is a jQuery plugin / method.
A utility function is basically a function within the jQuery namespace that is useful for performing some operation, for example, $.isArray(obj) checks if an object obj is an array. It is useful to put functions in the jQuery namespace if you'll use them often and also to avoid global namespace pollution.
jQuery methods on the other hand operate on jQuery objects/wrapped sets. For example, $(document.body).append('<p>Hello</p>'); will append a paragraph containing Hello to the body element of the document. $.fn is a shorthand for $.prototype in later versions of jQuery (it wasn't always in earlier versions of the library). You would use this when writing your own plugins.
The $.fn.f is simply a shortcut to jQuery.prototype
By using the fn, you can add plugin methods without using the extend method:
jQuery.fn.myPlugin = function(opts) { ... }
