Observe for highlight? - events

Is it possible to use nsISelectionController to watch when a a highlight/selection is made?
I know that there are different selection scopes. I want to watch when a user makes a selection in the default scope seen at MXR - nsISelectionController Constants.
Kind of like an addEventListener on select change but on the text nodes of the document.
Thanks

I found a solution but it doesn't use nsIController as #Neil had recommended in a SO topic HERE to look at viewSource.js.
Im still interested in a nsIController solution if possible, im trying to understand that sucker it confuses me.
So this is how you observer for a selection:
var mylis = {
timeout: 0,
notifySelectionChanged: function(doc, sel, reason)
{
if (!this.timeout) {
this.timeout = setTimeout(function() {
console.log('notifySelectionChanged','doc=',doc,'sel=',sel,'reason=',reason);
mylis.timeout = 0;
}, 1000);
}
}
}
gBrowser.contentWindow.getSelection().QueryInterface(Ci.nsISelectionPrivate).addSelectionListener(mylis);
//gBrowser.contentWindow.getSelection().QueryInterface(Ci.nsISelectionPrivate).removeSelectionListener(mylis);
the timeout is important because otherwise it will slow down the browser thread. you can see as you highlight its all gimicky. viewSource.js used 100ms so I would reocmmend that.
MXR - viewSource.js

RxJS custom scheduler for requestAnimationFrame

I know rxjs has a built in animationFrameScheduler, but i am pretty sure i can not use it to accomplish what I am wanting.
Essentially I am wanting to throttle some events by requestAnimationFrame. How I would do this in a subscribe is:
let taskId;
fromEvent(...)
.subscribe(args => {
if (taskId) {
cancelAnimationFrame(taskId);
}
taskId = requestAnimationFrame(() => {
performMyAction(args);
taskId = null;
});
});
What is happening is I want to throttle the events and only execute the last event per animationFrame.
I have tried throttleTime(0, animationFrameScheduler) and observeOn(animationFrameScheduler) and neither seem to do what I want.
My next thought was to just create a custom scheduler that could do this. I understand that I should create a class that implements ScheduleLike, but after that there seems to be no documentation on what the different methods of that class are supposed to do and what the parameters mean.
Furthermore attempting to read the source code of existing schedulers is an opaque mess of inheritance and wasn't useful is implementing my own.
So my questions is either; how can i use animationFrameScheduler to actually throttle my events in this way, or how can I learn how to build my own scheduler?
Built in animationFrame scheduler combined with audit operator to get last value from the silenced time window should do the job.
See code example:
const { of, from, animationFrameScheduler, asyncScheduler, interval } = rxjs;
const { audit, toArray } = rxjs.operators;
const numbers = Array.from({ length: 100 }).map((_, i) => i);
from(numbers, asyncScheduler).pipe(
audit(e => of(null, animationFrameScheduler))
).subscribe(e => console.log(e));

how the nativescript radlist view load on demand works

This might not be the question but it was the list of doubts which comes when learning native script from scratch.
I had a 1000 or more list of data stored in data table. know i want to display it on a list view but i don't want to read all the data at once. because i have images stored in other directory and want to read that also. So, for 20 to 30 data's the performance is quite good. but for 1000 data it is taking more than 15 minutes to read the data as well as images associated with it. since i'm storing some high quality images.
Therefore i decided to read only 20 data's with their respective images. and display it on list. know when user reaches the 15th data of the list. i decided to read 10 more data from the server.
know when i search this i came across "RadListView Load on Demand".
then i just looked at the code below.
public addMoreItemsFromSource(chunkSize: number) {
let newItems = this._sourceDataItems.splice(0, chunkSize);
this.dataItems.push(newItems);
}
public onLoadMoreItemsRequested(args: LoadOnDemandListViewEventData) {
const that = new WeakRef(this);
const listView: RadListView = args.object;
if (this._sourceDataItems.length > 0) {
setTimeout(function () {
that.get().addMoreItemsFromSource(2);
listView.notifyLoadOnDemandFinished();
}, 1500);
args.returnValue = true;
} else {
args.returnValue = false;
listView.notifyLoadOnDemandFinished(true);
}
}
In nativescript if i want to access binding element xml element. i must use observables in viewmodel or exports.com_name on associated js file.
but in this example it is started with public..! how to use this in javascript.
what is new WeakRef(this) ?
why it is needed ?
how to identify user has scrolled to 15 data, as i want to load more data when he came at 15th data.
after getting data how to update array of list and show it in listview ?
Finally i just want to know how to use load on demand
i tried to create a playground sample of what i have tried but it is giving error. it cannot found module of radlistview.
Remember i'm a fresher So, kindly keep this in mind when answering. thank you,
please modify the question if you feel it is not upto standards.
you can check the updated answer here

TypeScript to JavaScript
You may use any TypeScript compiler to convert the source code to JavaScript. There are even online compilers like the official TypeScript Playground for instance.
In my opinion, it's hard to expect ES5 examples any more. ES6-9 introduced a lot of new features that makes JavaScript development much more easier and TypeScript takes JavaScript to next level, interpreter to compiler.
To answer your question, you will use the prototype chain to define methods on your class in ES5.
YourClass.prototype.addMoreItemsFromSource = function (chunkSize) {
var newItems = this._sourceDataItems.splice(0, chunkSize);
this.dataItems.push(newItems);
};
YourClass.prototype.onLoadMoreItemsRequested = (args) {
var that = new WeakRef(this);
var listView = args.object;
if (this._sourceDataItems.length > 0) {
setTimeout(function () {
that.get().addMoreItemsFromSource(2);
listView.notifyLoadOnDemandFinished();
}, 1500);
args.returnValue = true;
} else {
args.returnValue = false;
listView.notifyLoadOnDemandFinished(true);
}
}
If you are using fromObject syntax for your Observable, then these functions can be passed inside
addMoreItemsFromSource: function (chunkSize) {
....
};
WeakRef: It helps managing your memory effiencetly by keeping a loose reference to the target, read more on docs.
How to load more:
If you set loadOnDemandMode to Auto then loadMoreDataRequested event will be triggered whenever user reaches the end of scrolling.
loadOnDemandBufferSize decides how many items before the end of scroll the event should be triggered.
Read more on docs.
How to update the array:
That's exactly what showcased in addMoreItemsFromSource function. Use .push(item) on the ObservableArray that is linked to your list view.

Get room/rooms of client [duplicate]

I can get room's clients list with this code in socket.io 0.9.
io.sockets.clients(roomName)
How can I do this in socket.io 1.0?
Consider this rather more complete answer linked in a comment above on the question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24425207/1449799
The clients in a room can be found at
io.nsps[yourNamespace].adapter.rooms[roomName]
This is an associative array with keys that are socket ids. In our case, we wanted to know the number of clients in a room, so we did Object.keys(io.nsps[yourNamespace].adapter.rooms[roomName]).length
In case you haven't seen/used namespaces (like this guy[me]), you can learn about them here http://socket.io/docs/rooms-and-namespaces/ (importantly: the default namespace is '/')
Updated (esp. for #Zettam):
checkout this repo to see this working: https://github.com/thegreatmichael/socket-io-clients
Using #ryan_Hdot link, I made a small temporary function in my code, which avoids maintaining a patch. Here it is :
function getClient(roomId) {
var res = [],
room = io.sockets.adapter.rooms[roomId];
if (room) {
for (var id in room) {
res.push(io.sockets.adapter.nsp.connected[id]);
}
}
return res;
}
If using a namespace :
function getClient (ns, id) {
return io.nsps[ns].adapter.rooms[id]
}
Which I use as a temporary fix for io.sockets.clients(roomId) which becomes findClientsSocketByRoomId(roomId).
EDIT :
Most of the time it is worth considering avoiding using this method if possible.
What I do now is that I usually put a client in it's own room (ie. in a room whose name is it's clientID). I found the code more readable that way, and I don't have to rely on this workaround anymore.
Also, I haven't tested this with a Redis adapter.
If you have to, also see this related question if you are using namespaces.
For those of you using namespaces I made a function too that can handle different namespaces. It's quite the same as the answer of nha.
function get_users_by_room(nsp, room) {
var users = []
for (var id in io.of(nsp).adapter.rooms[room]) {
users.push(io.of(nsp).adapter.nsp.connected[id]);
};
return users;
};
As of at least 1.4.5 nha’s method doesn’t work anymore either, and there is still no public api for getting clients in a room. Here is what works for me.
io.sockets.adapter.rooms[roomId] returns an object that has two properties, sockets, and length. The first is another object that has socketId’s for keys, and boolean’s as the values:
Room {
sockets:
{ '/#vQh0q0gVKgtLGIQGAAAB': true,
'/#p9Z7l6UeYwhBQkdoAAAD': true },
length: 2 }
So my code to get clients looks like this:
var sioRoom = io.sockets.adapter.rooms[roomId];
if( sioRoom ) {
Object.keys(sioRoom.sockets).forEach( function(socketId){
console.log("sioRoom client socket Id: " + socketId );
});
}
You can see this github pull request for discussion on the topic, however, it seems as though that functionality has been stripped from the 1.0 pre release candidate for SocketIO.

How to efficiently remove first element from a selection?

I have a page that displays some data using d3.js. Due to the heavy processing load, when the page load it freezes the browser for a few seconds.
I have determined that this "browser locking" behavior is due mostly to a line of the form:
selection.attr('d', linefn);
...where selection contains around 10K items.
I would like to replace this line with something like
function process_rest () {
if (selection.size() > 0) {
var next_item = first(selection); // function first() is hypothetical!
next_item.attr('d', linefn);
selection = rest(selection); // function rest() is hypothetical!
setTimeout(process_rest, 100);
return;
}
finish_up();
}
setTimeout(process_rest, 100);
I'm looking for an efficient way to implement either first and rest. My very naive guess would be something like:
function first(selection) {
return d3.select(selection[0][0]);
}
function rest(selection) {
selection[0] = selection[0].slice(1);
return selection;
}
...but, AFAIK, this is going "behind the API", or at least feels like it. Is there an "official" (i.e. documented) way to achieve the same result?
EDIT: deleted the shift variant (it's safer not to update selection until after the processing of the first element has been successfully completed).
You can simply use .each():
selection.each(function(d, i) {
setTimeout(function() { d3.select(this).attr("d", linefn); }, i * 100);
});

jQuery.ajax(): discard slow requests

I've build a livesearch with the jQuery.ajax() method. On every keyup events it receives new result data from the server.
The problem is, when I'm typing very fast, e.g. "foobar" and the GET request of "fooba" requires more time than the "foobar" request, the results of "fooba" are shown.
To handle this with the timeout parameter is impossible, I think.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
You can store and .abort() the last request when starting a new one, like this:
var curSearch;
$("#myInput").keyup(function() {
if(curSearch) curSearch.abort(); //cancel previous search
curSearch = $.ajax({ ...ajax options... }); //start a new one, save a reference
});
The $.ajax() method returns the XmlHttpRequest object, so just hang onto it, and when you start the next search, abort the previous one.
Assign a unique, incrementing ID to each request, and only show them in incrementing order. Something like this:
var counter = 0, lastCounter = 0;
function doAjax() {
++counter;
jQuery.ajax(url, function (result) {
if (counter < lastCounter)
return;
lastCounter = counter;
processResult(result);
});
}
You should only start the search when the user hasn't typed anything for a while (500ms or so). This would prevent the problem you're having.
An excellent jQuery plugin which does just that is delayedObserver:
http://code.google.com/p/jquery-utils/wiki/DelayedObserver
Make it so each cancels the last. That might be too much cancellation, but when typing slows, it will trigger.
That seems like an intense amount of traffic to send an ajax request for every KeyUp event. You should wait for the user to stop typing - presumably that they are done, for at least a few 100 milliseconds.
What I would do is this:
var ajaxTimeout;
function doAjax() {
//Your actual ajax request code
}
function keyUpHandler() {
if (ajaxTimeout !== undefined)
clearTimeout(ajaxTimeout);
ajaxTimeout = setTimeout(doAjax, 200);
}
You may have to play with the actual timeout time, but this way works very well and does not require any other plugins.
Edit:
If you need to pass in parameters, create an inline function (closure).
...
var fun = function() { doAjax(params...) };
ajaxTimeout = setTimeout(fun, 200);
You will want some kind of an ajax queue such as:
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/ajaxqueue
or http://www.protofunc.com/scripts/jquery/ajaxManager/
EDIT:Another option, study the Autocomplete plug-in code and emulate that.(there are several Autocomplete as well as the one in jquery UI
OR just implement the Autocomplete if that serves your needs
