Remove Doctrine life cycle event from within a Symfony2 controller - model-view-controller

I am looking to remove a Doctrine Extensions life cycle event listener from within a controller.
I need to remove the listener for update events because I need to update all nodes in the tree at once. Something that is not supported by the library, but is possible by directly setting the correct left, right, level etc...
Is it possible to remove a life cycle even from within a controller? What is a possible solution for this situation.
I thought something like this might work, but it did not
$evm = $em->getEventManager();
$listener = new \Gedmo\Tree\TreeListener();
$evm->removeEventListener( array( 'postUpdate' ), $listener );

yes it will work, but there are different events used:
$listenerInst = null;
$em; /* entity manager */
foreach ($em->getEventManager()->getListeners() as $event => $listeners) {
foreach ($listeners as $hash => $listener) {
if ($listener instanceof WantedListenerClass) {
$listenerInst = $listener;
break 2;
}
}
}
$listenerInst || die('Listener is not registered in the event manager');
// then you can remove events you like:
$evm = $em->getEventManager();
$evm->removeEventListener(array('onFlush'), $listenerInst);

Save User Activity in json file

I am trying to save the user activities in a json file but when ever the file size gets bigger and multiple users working on same time the json file deletes the old records.
this is my Trait
trait CustomLogActivity
{
protected static function bootCustomLogActivity()
{
foreach (static::getModelEvents() as $event) {
static::$event(function ($model) use ($event) {
$model->recordActivity($event);
});
}
}
protected static function getModelEvents()
{
return ['created', 'updated', 'deleted'];
}
protected function recordActivity($event)
{
$activity = [
'user_id' => Auth::id(),
'type' => $event,
'subject' => (new \ReflectionClass($this))->getShortName(),
'timestamp' => now()
];
if ($event === 'updated') {
$activity['old_properties'] = $this->getOriginal();
$activity['new_properties'] = $this->getAttributes();
} else {
$activity['properties'] = $this->getAttributes();
}
$this->appendToLog($activity);
}
protected function appendToLog($activity)
{
$logFile = 'activity.json';
$log = json_encode($activity);
Storage::append($logFile, $log);
}
protected function getActivityType($event)
{
$type = strtolower((new \ReflectionClass($this))->getShortName());
return "{$event}_{$type}";
}
}
As I mentioned in some comments, I will post it as an answer so it is explanatory for anyone having these types of issues:
The error you are having is called: concurrency.
I am assuming 2 processes uses the file at the same time, so both reads the current content, but one of them after that writes, the other process already has data in memory (so the new data is not get by this process), but not the new content, so it will overwrite the file...
First of all, use a Queue (events) to send data, and then use Redis, or a database or something that is super fast for this, but not literally a file, you can lose it instantly, but not a database...
You can still use a file bu I would not recommend to do so because it depends a lot on your infrastructure:
If you have a load balancer with 10 machines, are you going to have 10 different files (one per machine)?
How do you combine them?
So what I would do is just have a queue (triggered by using an event) and let that queue, with a single worker, handle this super specific task. But you will have to have in mind the speed, if you are getting more events in the queue than the single worker can resolve, you will have to find a solution for that

Passing parameters from Command to Converter

I defined a new type of model element as a plug-in; let's refer to it as Foo. A Foo node in the model should translate to a section element in the view. So far, so good. I managed to do that by defining simple conversion rules. I also managed to define a new FooCommand that transforms (renames) selected blocks to Foo.
I got stuck trying to have attributes on those Foo model nodes be translated to attributes on the view elements (and vice-versa). Suppose Foos have an attribute named fooClass which should map to the view element's class attribute.
<Foo fooClass="green-foo"> should map to/from <section class="green-foo">
I can successfully receive parameters in FooCommand, but I can't seem to set them on the blocks being processed by the command:
execute(options = {}) {
const document = this.editor.document;
const fooClass = options.fooClass;
document.enqueueChanges(() => {
const batch = options.batch || document.batch();
const blocks = (options.selection || document.selection).getSelectedBlocks();
for (const block of blocks) {
if (!block.is('foo')) {
batch.rename(block, 'foo');
batch.setAttribute(block, 'fooClass', fooClass);
}
}
});
}
Below is the code for the init function in the Foo plugin, including the model→view and view→model conversions:
init() {
const editor = this.editor;
const doc = editor.document;
const data = editor.data;
const editing = editor.editing;
editor.commands.add('foo', new FooCommand(editor));
doc.schema.registerItem('foo', '$block');
buildModelConverter().for(data.modelToView, editing.modelToView)
.fromElement('foo')
.toElement(modelElement => {
const fooClass = modelElement.item.getAttribute('fooClass'));
return new ContainerElement('section', {'class': fooClass});
});
buildViewConverter().for(data.viewToModel)
.fromElement('section')
.toElement(viewElement => {
let classes = Array.from(viewElement.getClassNames());
let modelElement = new ModelElement('foo', {'fooClass': classes[0]});
return modelElement;
});
}
When I try to run the command via
editor.execute('foo', { fooClass: 'green-foo' })
I can see that the green-foo value is available to FooCommand, but the modelElement in the model→view conversion, on the other hand, has no fooClass attribute.
I'm sure I'm missing the point here and misusing the APIs. I'd be really thankful if someone could shed some light on this issue. I can provide more details, as needed.
Follow-up after initial suggestions
Thanks to #Reinmar and #jodator for their suggestion regarding configuring the document schema to allow for the custom attribute. I really thought that would have taken care of it, but no. It may have been a necessary step anyway, but I'm still unable to get the attribute value from the model element during the model→view conversion.
First, let me add an important piece of information I had left out: the CKEditor5's version I'm working with is 1.0.0-alpha2. I am aware several of the APIs are bound to change, but I would still like to get things working with the present version.
Model→view conversion
If I understand it correctly, one can either pass a string or a function to the toElement call. A question about using the latter: what exactly are the parameters passed to the function? I assumed it would be the model element (node?) to be converted. Is that the case? If so, why is the attribute set on that node via batch.setAttribute (inside a document.enqueueChanges) not available when requested? Should it be?
A sequencing problem?
Additional testing seems to indicate there's some kind of order-of-execution issue happening. I've observed that, even though the attribute is not available when I first try to read it from the modelElement parameter, it will be so if I read it again later. Let me try to illustrate the situation below. First, I'll modify the conversion code to make it use some dummy value in case the attribute value is not available when read:
buildModelConverter().for(data.modelToView, editing.modelToView)
.fromElement('foo')
.toElement(modelElement => {
let fooClass = modelElement.item.getAttribute('fooClass') || 'naught';
let viewElement = new ContainerElement('section');
viewElement.setAttribute('class', fooClass);
return viewElement;
});
Now I reload the page and execute the following instructions on the console:
c = Array.from(editor.document.getRoot().getChildren());
c[1].is('paragraph'); // true
// Changing the node from 'paragraph' to 'foo' and adding an attribute
// 'fooClass' with value 'green-foo' to it.
editor.document.enqueueChanges(() => {
const batch = editor.document.batch();
batch.rename(c[1], 'foo');
batch.setAttribute(c[1], 'fooClass', 'green-foo');
return batch;
});
c[1].is('paragraph'); // false
c[1].is('foo'); // true
c[1].hasAttribute('fooClass'); // true
c[1].getAttribute('fooClass'); // 'green-foo'
Even though it looks like the expected output is being produced, a glance at the generated view element shows the problem:
<section class="naught"/>
Lastly, even if I try to reset the fooClass attribute on the model element, the change is not reflected on the view element. Why is that? Shouldn't changes made via enqueueChanges cause the view to update?
Sorry for the very long post, but I'm trying to convey as many details as I can. Here's hoping someone will spot my mistake or misunderstanding of how the CKEditor 5's API actually works.
View not updating?
I turned to Document's events and experimented with the changesDone event. It successfully addresses the "timing" issue, as it consistently triggers only after all changes have been processed. Still, the problem of the view not updating in response to a change in the model remains. To make it clear, the model does change, but the view does not reflect that. Here is the call:
editor.document.enqueueChanges(() => editor.document.batch().setAttribute(c[1], 'fooClass', 'red-foo'));
To be 100% sure I wrote the whole feature myself. I use the 1.0.0-beta.1 API which is completely different than what you had.
Basically – it works. It isn't 100% correct yet, but I'll get to that.
How to convert an element+attribute pair?
The thing when implementing a feature which needs to convert element + attribute is that it requires handling the element and attribute conversion separately as they are treated separately by CKEditor 5.
Therefore, in the code below you'll find that I used elementToElement():
editor.conversion.elementToElement( {
model: 'foo',
view: 'section'
} );
So a converter between model's <foo> element and view's <section> element. This is a two-way converter so it handles upcasting (view -> model) and downcasting (model -> view) conversion.
NOTE: It doesn't handle the attribute.
Theoretically, as the view property you could write a callback which would read the model element's attribute and create view element with this attribute set too. But that wouldn't work because such a configuration would only make sense in case of downcasting (model -> view). How could we use that callback to downcast a view structure?
NOTE: You can write converters for downcast and upcast pipelines separately (by using editor.conversion.for()), in which case you could really use callbacks. But it doesn't really make sense in this case.
The attribute may change independently!
The other problem is that let's say you wrote an element converter which sets the attribute at the same time. Tada, you load <section class=ohmy> and gets <foo class=ohmy> in your model.
But then... what if the attribute will change in the model?
In the downcast pipeline CKEditor 5 treats element changes separately from attribute changes. It fires them as separate events. So, when your FooCommand is executed on a heading it calls writer.rename() and we get the following events in DowncastDispatcher:
remove with <heading>
insert:section
But then the attribute is changed too (writer.setAttribute()), so we also get:
setAttibute:class:section
The elementToElement() conversion helper listens to insert:section event. So it's blind to setAttribute:class:selection.
Therefore, when you change the value of the attribute, you need the attributeToAttribute() conversion.
Sequencing
I didn't want to reply to your question before we released 1.0.0-beta.1 because 1.0.0-beta.1 brought the Differ.
Before 1.0.0-beta.1 all changes were converted immediately when they were applied. So, rename() would cause immediate remove and insert:section events. At this point, the element that you got in the latter one wouldn't have the class attribute set yet.
Thanks to the Differ we're able to start the conversion once all the changes are applied (after change() block is executed). This means that the insert:section event is fired once the model <foo> element has the class attribute set already. That's why you could write a callback-based converters... bur you shouldn't :D
The code
import { downcastAttributeToAttribute } from '#ckeditor/ckeditor5-engine/src/conversion/downcast-converters';
import { upcastAttributeToAttribute } from '#ckeditor/ckeditor5-engine/src/conversion/upcast-converters';
class FooCommand extends Command {
execute( options = {} ) {
const model = this.editor.model;
const fooClass = options.class;
model.change( writer => {
const blocks = model.document.selection.getSelectedBlocks();
for ( const block of blocks ) {
if ( !block.is( 'foo' ) ) {
writer.rename( block, 'foo' );
writer.setAttribute( 'class', fooClass, block );
}
}
} );
}
}
class FooPlugin extends Plugin {
init() {
const editor = this.editor;
editor.commands.add( 'foo', new FooCommand( editor ) );
editor.model.schema.register( 'foo', {
allowAttributes: 'class',
inheritAllFrom: '$block'
} );
editor.conversion.elementToElement( {
model: 'foo',
view: 'section'
} );
editor.conversion.for( 'upcast' ).add(
upcastAttributeToAttribute( {
model: 'class',
view: 'class'
} )
);
editor.conversion.for( 'downcast' ).add(
downcastAttributeToAttribute( {
model: 'class',
view: 'class'
} )
);
// This should work but it does not due to https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5-engine/issues/1379 :(((
// EDIT: The above issue is fixed and will be released in 1.0.0-beta.2.
// editor.conversion.attributeToAttribute( {
// model: {
// name: 'foo',
// key: 'class'
// },
// view: {
// name: 'section',
// key: 'class'
// }
// } );
}
}
This code works quite well, except the fact that it converts the class attribute on any possible element that has it. That's because I had to use very generic downcastAttributeToAttribute() and upcastAttributeToAttribute() converters because of a bug that I found (EDIT: it's fixed and will be available in 1.0.0-beta.2). The commented out piece of code is how you it should be defined if everything worked fine and it will work in 1.0.0-beta.2.
It's sad that we missed such a simple case, but that's mainly due to the fact that all our features... are much more complicated than this.

Event each time component becomes visible

Is there a way in Angular2 to have an event fired when my component becomes visible?
It is placed in a tabcontrol and I want to be notified when the user switches. I'd like my component to fire an event.
What I finally did (which is not very beautiful but works while I don't have a better way to do it...) is to use the ngAfterContentChecked() callback and handle the change myself.
#ViewChild('map') m;
private isVisible: boolean = false;
ngAfterContentChecked(): void
{
if (this.isVisible == false && this.m.nativeElement.offsetParent != null)
{
console.log('isVisible switched from false to true');
this.isVisible = true;
this.Refresh();
}
else if (this.isVisible == true && this.m.nativeElement.offsetParent == null)
{
console.log('isVisible switched from true to false');
this.isVisible = false;
}
}
There is no such event, but if you're using a tab control, the proper way to do this would be to create a tab change #Output for your tab control if it's custom, otherwise, most tab controls (like ng-bootstrap) have some tab change event as well.
If your component has to be aware of this, you can use this tab change event to detect which tab is visible, and if you know which tab is visible, you also know if your component is visible or not. So you can do something like this:
onTabChange(event) {
this.currentTab = /** Get current tab */;
}
And then you can send it to your component itself if you have an input:
#Input() activated: boolean = false;
And then you can apply it with:
<my-component [activated]="currentTab == 'tabWithComponent'"></my-component>
Now you can listen to OnChanges to see if the model value activated changed to true.
You can also refactor this to use a service with an Observable like this:
#Injectable()
export class TabService {
observable: Observable<any>;
observer;
constructor() {
this.observable = Observable.create(function(observer) {
this.observer = observer;
});
}
}
When a component wishes to listen to these changes, it can subscribe to tabService.observable. When your tab changes, you can push new items to it with tabService.observer.next().
You can use the ngAfterViewInit() callback
https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/lifecycle-hooks.html
Update
The new Intersection Observer API can be used for that
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Intersection_Observer_API
See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/44670818/217408
For those watching at home, you can now use ngAfterContentInit() for this, at least on Ionic anyway.
https://angular.io/guide/lifecycle-hooks
Best way to work around this limitation of Angular is to use a shared service that provides a Subject your component can subscribe to. That way new values could be pushed onto the Observable and the components which subscribe get the newest data and can act accordingly.
Fyi: The difference between a normal Observable and a Subject is that a Subject is multicast whereas an Observable could only be subscribed to by one Subscriber.
As a small example I show you a possible implementation of a shared-service and following the subscription inside the component that needs this new data.
Shared-service:
// ...
private actualNumberSubject = new Subject<number>()
public actualNumber$ = this.actualNumberSubject.asObservable()
/**
* #info CONSTRUCTOR
*/
constructor() {}
/**
* #info Set actual number
*/
setActualNumber(number: number) {
this.actualNumberSubject.next(internalNumber)
}
// ...
Push new value onto the subject from anywhere where shared.service is imported:
// ...
this.sharedService.setActualNumber(1)
Subscribe to sharedService.actualNumber$ in component to process/display that new data:
// ...
this.sharedService.actualNumber$.subscribe(number => {
console.log(number)
// e.g. load data freshly, etc.
})
// ...
I have the same purpose and cannot get a satisfy approach to it. The first answer will call so many times.
There is a compromised way I used, of course, not elegant either.
In parent component, I set a method:
parentClick() {
setTimeout(() => {
// TO-DO
This.commonService.childMethod();
}, time);
}
Maybe the method not accurate in time, but in some way, you reach the destiny.

Time-based cache for REST client using RxJs 5 in Angular2

I'm new to ReactiveX/RxJs and I'm wondering if my use-case is feasible smoothly with RxJs, preferably with a combination of built-in operators. Here's what I want to achieve:
I have an Angular2 application that communicates with a REST API. Different parts of the application need to access the same information at different times. To avoid hammering the servers by firing the same request over and over, I'd like to add client-side caching. The caching should happen in a service layer, where the network calls are actually made. This service layer then just hands out Observables. The caching must be transparent to the rest of the application: it should only be aware of Observables, not the caching.
So initially, a particular piece of information from the REST API should be retrieved only once per, let's say, 60 seconds, even if there's a dozen components requesting this information from the service within those 60 seconds. Each subscriber must be given the (single) last value from the Observable upon subscription.
Currently, I managed to achieve exactly that with an approach like this:
public getInformation(): Observable<Information> {
if (!this.information) {
this.information = this.restService.get('/information/')
.cache(1, 60000);
}
return this.information;
}
In this example, restService.get(...) performs the actual network call and returns an Observable, much like Angular's http Service.
The problem with this approach is refreshing the cache: While it makes sure the network call is executed exactly once, and that the cached value will no longer be pushed to new subscribers after 60 seconds, it doesn't re-execute the initial request after the cache expires. So subscriptions that occur after the 60sec cache will not be given any value from the Observable.
Would it be possible to re-execute the initial request if a new subscription happens after the cache timed out, and to re-cache the new value for 60sec again?
As a bonus: it would be even cooler if existing subscriptions (e.g. those who initiated the first network call) would get the refreshed value whose fetching had been initiated by the newer subscription, so that once the information is refreshed, it is immediately passed through the whole Observable-aware application.
I figured out a solution to achieve exactly what I was looking for. It might go against ReactiveX nomenclature and best practices, but technically, it does exactly what I want it to. That being said, if someone still finds a way to achieve the same with just built-in operators, I'll be happy to accept a better answer.
So basically since I need a way to re-trigger the network call upon subscription (no polling, no timer), I looked at how the ReplaySubject is implemented and even used it as my base class. I then created a callback-based class RefreshingReplaySubject (naming improvements welcome!). Here it is:
export class RefreshingReplaySubject<T> extends ReplaySubject<T> {
private providerCallback: () => Observable<T>;
private lastProviderTrigger: number;
private windowTime;
constructor(providerCallback: () => Observable<T>, windowTime?: number) {
// Cache exactly 1 item forever in the ReplaySubject
super(1);
this.windowTime = windowTime || 60000;
this.lastProviderTrigger = 0;
this.providerCallback = providerCallback;
}
protected _subscribe(subscriber: Subscriber<T>): Subscription {
// Hook into the subscribe method to trigger refreshing
this._triggerProviderIfRequired();
return super._subscribe(subscriber);
}
protected _triggerProviderIfRequired() {
let now = this._getNow();
if ((now - this.lastProviderTrigger) > this.windowTime) {
// Data considered stale, provider triggering required...
this.lastProviderTrigger = now;
this.providerCallback().first().subscribe((t: T) => this.next(t));
}
}
}
And here is the resulting usage:
public getInformation(): Observable<Information> {
if (!this.information) {
this.information = new RefreshingReplaySubject(
() => this.restService.get('/information/'),
60000
);
}
return this.information;
}
To implement this, you will need to create your own observable with custom logic on subscribtion:
function createTimedCache(doRequest, expireTime) {
let lastCallTime = 0;
let lastResult = null;
const result$ = new Rx.Subject();
return Rx.Observable.create(observer => {
const time = Date.now();
if (time - lastCallTime < expireTime) {
return (lastResult
// when result already received
? result$.startWith(lastResult)
// still waiting for result
: result$
).subscribe(observer);
}
const disposable = result$.subscribe(observer);
lastCallTime = time;
lastResult = null;
doRequest()
.do(result => {
lastResult = result;
})
.subscribe(v => result$.next(v), e => result$.error(e));
return disposable;
});
}
and resulting usage would be following:
this.information = createTimedCache(
() => this.restService.get('/information/'),
60000
);

Symfony2 Properly Hook in Events from Services

I have a class which is used to generate navigation from a variety of interconnected bundles. I have a Navigation service to accomplish this.
In order to connect this service with the other bits of Navigation, I want to allow the other bundles to define their own services which then listen to the event listener and add their navigation items at the proper time.
The problem is, I can't figure out how to have a service listen to an event without first calling that service manually in order to create it.
Any ideas?
To give a more concrete idea, I have something like this:
// Set up as a service in the bundle.
class Navigation {
// ...
protected $dispatcher; // event dispatcher passed in to service
// ...
public function generateNavigation() {
$items = array();
// add some items
$event = new NavigationEvent($items); // custom event
$this->eventDispatcher->dispatchEvent('navigation_event', $event);
}
}
// Set up as a service in some secondary bundle.
class NavigationWorker {
/**
* #param $dispatcher Same instance as Navigation
*/
public function __construct(EventDispatcher $dispatcher) {
$dispatcher->addListener('navigation_event', array($this, 'doSomething'));
}
}
With this set up, it should work if the NavigationWorker is called at some point and is constructed, but I can't always call them directly, so it is never constructed and the listener is never added.
The way I currently do it is to pass all of the NavigationWorkers to Navigation and have it add their listener, but this is very ugly.
See the Event Listener Documentation. Make NavigationWorker and event listener and it won't need to be explicitly constructed.
I'm changing the answer to this because while that set me on the right path, it wasn't the complete answer. That article really only allows you to hook in to pre-defined kernel events. I however needed my own, so I started working back from there.
In the end, I ended up creating my own tags, a compiler pass to process those tasks. I also added my own extension of EventDispatcher, though that wasn't super-necessary (you could just use the normal one).
Here is what the file solution looked like.
Configuration:
parameters:
my_bundle.navigation.event.class: My\Bundle\DependencyInjection\NavigationEvent
my_bundle.event_dispatcher.class: My\Bundle\DependencyInjection\EventDispatcher
my_bundle.navigation.class: My\Bundle\DependencyInjection\NavigationGenerator
my_bundle.navigation_listener1.class: My\Bundle\DependencyInjection\NavigationListener
my_bundle.navigation_listener2.class: My\Bundle\DependencyInjection\NavigationListener
services:
my_bundle.event_dispatcher:
class: %my_bundle.event_dispatcher.class%
my_bundle.navigation:
class: %my_bundle.navigation.class%
arguments:
- #my_bundle.event_dispatcher
my_bundle.navigation_listener1.class:
class: %my_bundle.navigation_listener1.class%
tags:
- { name: my_bundle.event_listener, event: my_bundle.navigation.generate, method: onGenerateNavigation }
my_bundle.navigation_listener2.class:
class: %my_bundle.navigation_listener2.class%
tags:
- { name: my_bundle.event_listener, event: my_bundle.navigation.generate, method: onGenerateNavigation }
CompilerPass:
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Compiler\CompilerPassInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Reference;
class EventListenerCompilerPass implements CompilerPassInterface
{
public function process(ContainerBuilder $container)
{
if (!$container->hasDefinition('my_bundle.event_dispatcher')) {
return;
}
$definition = $container->getDefinition(
'my_bundle.event_dispatcher'
);
$taggedServices = $container->findTaggedServiceIds(
'my_bundle.event_listener'
);
foreach ($taggedServices as $id => $tagAttributes) {
foreach ($tagAttributes as $attributes) {
$definition->addMethodCall(
'addListener',
array($this->getEventString($attributes['event'], $container), array(new Reference($id), $attributes['method']))
);
}
}
}
protected function getEventString($str, ContainerBuilder $container)
{
preg_match('/(.*)\.([^.]*)$/', $str, $matches);
$parameterName = $matches[1];
$constName = strtoupper($matches[2]);
$eventClass = $container->getParameter($parameterName . '.event.class');
if (!$eventClass) {
throw new Exception('Unable to find parameter: ' . $eventClass . '.event.class');
}
// Return the value of the constant.
return constant($eventClass . '::' . $constName);
}
Add a function like this to your compiler class (something like MyBundleBundle).
public function build(ContainerBuilder $container)
{
parent::build($container);
$container->addCompilerPass(new EventListenerCompilerPass());
}
Now the EventListener will have added listeners for each of those events. You than just implement everything else exactly as you would expect (Navigation dispatches events which it listens too). You can than hook in new event listeners from any bundle, and they don't even need to share a common class/interface.
This also works for any custom event, as long as the object which has the constant for the event is registered in the parameters with ".event.class" at the end (so my_bundle.navigation.generate looks for the parameter my_bundle.navigation.event.class, uses that class and the constant GENERATE).
Hopefully that'll help anyone else looking to do something similar.
