How to get externally changed value of select into angular model - jquery-plugins

I am creating a directive that is using this timezone picker jQuery plugin, so that we have a timezone picker "widget" throughout our app. The problem I'm running into is that when you select a timezone, it just changes the value of the select elements. So, the element has the right value, but my model does not. I was thinking I just had to throw a scope.$apply() in there, but after a while, I realized that is for updating the view from a model that changed outside of angular. My problem is the opposite. How to I update my model from my view that has changed outside of angular? Here's a simple fiddle that illustrates the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/tWzwA/
I'm thinking the ngModelController could help me here, but I don't know how I would get access to it, and what exactly I would do with it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

You should define the update function on your controller:
$scope.updateDropDownDirectly = function(value){
$scope.myModel = value;
};
Then change the events from onclick to ng-click and let angular manage them:
<button ng-click="updateDropDownDirectly(1)">1</button>

How to make a laravel 5 view composer

I'm still learning Laravel and I'm working on a small project to help me understand better. In the project, I am in need of a global array, so that I may display it or its attributes on every view rendered. sort of on a notification bar, so that each page the user visits, he/she can see the number of notifications (which have been fetched in the background and are stored in the array).
I have done some research, and realized that I have to fetch and compile the array in a view composer I think. But everywhere I go, I cant seem to understand how to make a view composer.
I need to fetch the relevant rows from the database table, and make the resulting array available to each view rendered (I'm thinking attaching it somehow to my layouts/default.blade.php file.). Please help, any and all advice is greatly appreciated:)
You can now inject services on your view
More info here: https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5-1/episodes/2
You have to use Sub-Views of laravel blade. I guess your functionality is like a sidebar or like a top bar which will be rendered at every page.
//Your Controller pass data
class YOUR_CONTROLLER extends Controller {
public function index()
{
$data = YOUR_DATA;
return view('YOUR_VIEW_FILE', get_defined_vars());
}
}
//In Your View File
#extends('LAYOUTS_FILE')
#section('YOUR_SECTION')
#include('YOUR_SUB_VIEW_FOR_NOTIFICATION')//You need not pass any data passed all data will be available to this sub view.
#endsection
In your sub view
//Do what ever you want looping logic rendering HTML etc.
//In your layout file just yield or render the section that's it
#yield('YOUR_SECTION')

Handsontable Dynamically Set Settings

I have a very big handsontable. I have dropdown columns defined, but, the values for the sources are retrieved with AJAX.
How can I set the "source" property of a "column" of type "dropdown" dynamically?
Regards!
You can, and should, use:
hotInstance.updateSettings({
columns: getNewColumns()
})
Where getNewColumns() would return an array of columns with the data and new source (or make the AJAX call from in here). That should do it!
Thank you for the answer ZekeDroid.
I was able to solve my issue.
First lets talk about a problem in the angular directive:
I am using the handsontable's angular directive. Two things happen: 1. If I associated the datarows attribute to a nested variale in the model, for example $scope.hot.data, then when I change the value of the model ( $scope.hot.data ) the grid ui is not refreshed. I am pretty sure this is an issue with the directive. Now: 2. Assume I use $scope.data and I update its value (this is the model right), then the grid ui is not refreshed either. I have to do something like hotInstance.updateSettings({data: newData}) as well.
I have to do both things; that is, update the model and call the update settings method. This is the only way I could get it work properly.
Note: if I do $scope.$apply() instead the updateSettings, I get an error in the console.

The view area of ckEditor sometimes shows empty at the start

I am using the following directive to create a ckEditor view. There are other lines to the directive to save the data but these are not included as saving always works for me.
app.directive('ckEditor', [function () {
return {
require: '?ngModel',
link: function ($scope, elm, attr, ngModel) {
var ck = ck = CKEDITOR.replace(elm[0]);
ngModel.$render = function (value) {
ck.setData(ngModel.$modelValue);
setTimeout(function () {
ck.setData(ngModel.$modelValue);
}, 1000);
}; }
};
}])
The window appears but almost always the first time around it is empty. Then after clicking the [SOURCE] button to show the source and clicking it again the window is populated with data.
I'm very sure that the ck.setData works as I tried a ck.getData and then logged the output to the console. However it seems like ck.setData does not make the data visible at the start.
Is there some way to force the view window contents to appear?
You can call render on the model at any time and it will simply do whatever you've told it to do. In your case, calling ngModel.$render() will grab the $modelValue and pass it to ck.setData(). Angular will automatically call $render whenever it needs to during its digest cycle (i.e. whenever it notices that the model has been updated). However, I have noticed that there are times when Angular doesn't update properly, especially in instances where the $modelValue is set prior to the directive being compiled.
So, you can simply call ngModel.$render() when your modal object is set. The only problem with that is you have to have access to the ngModel object to do that, which you don't have in your controller. My suggestion would be to do the following:
In your controller:
$scope.editRow = function (row, entityType) {
$scope.modal.data = row;
$scope.modal.visible = true;
...
...
// trigger event after $scope.modal is set
$scope.$emit('modalObjectSet', $scope.modal); //passing $scope.modal is optional
}
In your directive:
ngModel.$render = function (value) {
ck.setData(ngModel.$modelValue);
};
scope.$on('modalObjectSet', function(e, modalData){
// force a call to render
ngModel.$render();
});
Its not a particularly clean solution, but it should allow you to call $render whenever you need to. I hope that helps.
UPDATE: (after your update)
I wasn't aware that your controllers were nested. This can get really icky in Angular, but I'll try to provide a few possible solutions (given that I'm not able to see all your code and project layout). Scope events (as noted here) are specific to the nesting of the scope and only emit events to child scopes. Because of that, I would suggest trying one of the three following solutions (listed in order of my personal preference):
1) Reorganize your code to have a cleaner layout (less nesting of controllers) so that your scopes are direct decendants (rather than sibling controllers).
2) I'm going to assume that 1) wasn't possible. Next I would try to use the $scope.$broadcast() function. The specs for that are listed here as well. The difference between $emit and $broadcast is that $emit only sends event to child $scopes, while $broadcast will send events to both parent and child scopes.
3) Forget using $scope events in angular and just use generic javascript events (using a framework such as jQuery or even just roll your own as in the example here)
There's a fairly simple answer to the question. I checked the DOM and found out the data was getting loaded in fact all of the time. However it was not displaying in the Chrome browser. So the problem is more of a display issue with ckEditor. Strange solution seems to be to do a resize of the ckEditor window which then makes the text visible.
This is a strange issue with ckeditor when your ckeditor is hidden by default. Trying to show the editor has a 30% chance of the editor being uneditable and the editor data is cleared. If you are trying to hide/show your editor, use a css trick like position:absolute;left-9999px; to hide the editor and just return it back by css. This way, the ckeditor is not being removed in the DOM but is just positioned elsewhere.
Use this java script code that is very simple and effective.Note editor1 is my textarea id
<script>
$(function () {
CKEDITOR.timestamp= new Date();
CKEDITOR.replace('editor1');
});
</script>
Second way In controller ,when your query is fetch data from database then use th
is code after .success(function().
$http.get(url).success(function(){
CKEDITOR.replace('editor1');
});
I know, that this thread is dead for a year, but I got the same problem and I found another (still ugly) solution to this problem:
instance.setData(html, function(){
instance.setData(html);
});

kendoui validation tooltip in custom popup editor not positioning correctly

Please see jsfiddle for example, blank out First Name field to have validation tooltip show. In a normal form the validation tooltip positions correctly to the right of each element. But in the popup editor for the grid it still trying to position the tooltip below the element as if it where editing inline. I have tried <span class="k-invalid-msg" data-for="FirstName"></span>but it doesn't change anything. Is there a setting I am missing to get this working in popupeditor? I guess I could manually modify the .k-tooltip but I am hoping for something more built in that handles the positioning correctly, because I am not very good at css.
As you've discovered, the error template for the grid is different to that provided by the kendo validator when applied to standard inputs.
Unfortunately, the validator that is created internally by the grid does not pass along any errorTemplate that you might define in the options object and by the time the "edit" event fires, the validator has already been created and the error template compiled, hence why setting the errorTemplate in the manner you describe does not work. Really, I think the Kendo grid should respect any user defined errorTemplate option but until it does we have to hack a little bit.
The key is to define a custom template and to apply it in the edit event, but instead of using the options object, set the private instance directly. Not ideal, but it works:
edit: function (e) {
e.sender.editable.validatable._errorTemplate =
kendo.template($('#tooltip-template').html());
}
See this updated fiddle for an example of what I think you might be looking to achieve.
http://jsfiddle.net/nukefusion/eQ2j7/10/
(I would post this as a comment but not enough reputation yet...)
I'm successfully using nukefusion's solution. I, too, fought with the syntax error from jQuery for a long time and discovered through debugging that how you define the template is important. In particular, it appears that the template has to be written on a single line without any formatting, as in:
<script id="tooltip-template" type="text/x-kendo-template"><span class="k-widget k-tooltip k-tooltip-validation"><span class="k-icon k-warning"></span>#=message#</span></script>
If you try to make it "pretty" and format the html in the template, you get the syntax error. I don't know where the real bug is, as this sort of thing shouldn't cause an error. But it does and I stopped worrying about it once I got it to work correctly.

google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);

I have google chart on my page, but right now chart is drawn when Google Visualization library is loaded on the page load, and I have to give data dynamically through ajax, so is it possible to change the callback method, or is there any alternative?
I managed with it as i wanted, It can be helpful for someone, and if there is better solution for this please do suggest.
I removed this setOnLoadCallback function - google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
This call back will call the drawChart() as soon as the visulization library is loaded,
(but I didn't wanted it, i wanted to call it on button click).
so I called drawChart(); function directily in the button click function code.
Then I faced problem with rendering the dynamic data to the datatable, when I was putting hard coded values, the chart drawn fine, but as I put variables instead of those values, it was unable to generate chart.
so i parsed the variable into integer by parseInt(doc_pre),
And it worked fine.
