There is my code to generate my autocomplete location text input. Google's list of supported types (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/supported_types.html) shows "locality" as being the type to use when I do not wish for everything to come back in the result(businesses, etc). I am getting no results.
Basically, what I would like to achieve is to search for a city (IE: Toronto) And only see results like: "Toronto, ON, Canada". Perhaps I am confused on how I implement this API.
Thank you very much for your replies!

I think the option you are looking for according to the docs is "geocode" ( http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#AutocompleteOptions ):
var options = {
types: ["geocode"]
};

you can also use the country restriction
example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize()
{
var input = document.getElementById('searchTextField');
var options = {
types: ['(cities)'],
componentRestrictions: {country: "ca"}
};
autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input, options);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
<input id="searchTextField" type="text" size="50" placeholder="Anything you want!">
now you can easily add a dropdown with a selection of cities and re-filter the cities, when onchange of the dropdown occurs :)

Try, check out the jsfiddle:
var options = {
types: ['geocode']
};
types, which can be either establishment or geocode, representing
businesses or addresses, respectively. If types is not specified, both
types are returned.

If the user types Tor in the input field and the output you want is Toronto, ON, Canada then you should use types=(regions), with the brackets.
I don't know if the option was present when the question was asked, but it is available now.
Sample Request:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=Tor&key=<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>&types=(regions)

You can use like this
types: ['geocode' || 'establishment' || 'address']

How to pass attribute value to a standard JS function in thymeleaf

In my template file using thymeleaf I have below code
<script type="text/javascript" >
var ue=UE.geteditor();
ue.ready(function()
{
ue.setcontent("${user.email}");
});
</script>
I want to set the content of ue to attribute user's email ,but got "${user.email}" as a string instead.
What's the correct way to use thymeleaf attribute value in plain JS function?Any help?Thx.
You need to use script inlining.
<script th:inline="javascript">
let user = {
email: [[${user.email}]]
};
let ue = UE.geteditor();
ue.ready(function() {
ue.setcontent(user.email);
});
</script>

Getting value from inside div using XPATH

I have the following div
<div data-dmid="product-detail-page" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Product" itemid="3600542198158">
from which I would like to extract the itemid -> 3600542198158
I was using the following Xpath which does however not return any value:
//div[#data-dmid='product-detail-page']/#itemid
Could please someone advise how to built the Xpath correctly for it
#
Unfortunately I have to renew my question.
I was looking for the code with Firefox inspection tool.
Looking at the html source code which is different to the output with the inspection tool I have the following part which will be interesting:
<div class="onCanvas content-with-footer">
<div id="container-main" class="content-main">
<div data-dmid="uvp-banner-container" style="height: 54px; width: 100%"></div>
<script>
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
var props = {};
ReactInit.initReactComponent("contentViewService", "UvpBannerContainer", props, document.querySelector("[data-dmid='uvp-banner-container']"));
});
</script>
<div id="react-product-detail-page"></div>
<script>
var props = {
gtin: 3600542198158,
locale: dmSettings.localeLanguage
};
ReactInit.initReactComponent("product-detail-page", "ProductDetailPage", props, document.getElementById("react-product-detail-page"));
$(document).ready(function () {
var props = {
locale: dmSettings.localeLanguage
};
ReactInit.initReactComponent("product-detail-page", "PriceLegend", props, document.getElementById("react-price-legend"));
});
</script>
I would need to get the gtin (plain number) of the second script.
I would like to use the xpath in a scraping tool why only plain xpath code will work for me.
Thank you again and please excuse my previous not fully correct question.
I am assuming that you don't mind JavaScript and jQuery since you didn't specify:
var itemId = $("div[data-dmid]").attr("itemid");
console.log(itemId);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div data-dmid="product-detail-page" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Product" itemid="3600542198158">
I got the answer with help of another post on Stackoverflow.
Reading a javascript variable's value
The correct code for my updated question is
substring-before(substring-after(//div[#class='onCanvas content-with-footer']//script[2][contains(.,'gtin')]/text(), "gtin: "), ",")
Thank you for any help.

Thymeleaf th:inline="javascript" issue

I don't know how to solve the following: I'd like to let my Model generate real javascript dynamically based on some model logic.
This final piece of javascript code then should be added inside the $(document).ready { } part of my html page.
The thing is: If I use inline="javascript", the code gets quoted as my getter is a String (that is how it is mentioned in the Thymeleaf doc but it's not what I need ;-)
If I use inline="text" in is not quoted but all quotes are escaped instead ;-) - also nice but unusable 8)
If I try inline="none" nothing happens.
Here are the examples
My model getter created the following Javascript code.
PageHelper class
public String documentReady() {
// do some database operations to get the numbers 8,5,3,2
return "PhotoGallery.load(8,5,3,2).loadTheme(name='basic')";
}
So if I now try inline="javascript"
<script th:inline="javascript">
/*<![CDATA[*/
jQuery().ready(function(){
/*[[${pageHelper.documentReady}]]*/
});
/*]]>*/
</script>
it will be rendered to
<script>
/*<![CDATA[*/
jQuery().ready(function(){
'PhotoGallery.load(8,5,3,2).loadTheme(name=\'basic\')'
});
/*]]>*/
</script>
Which doesn't help as it is a String literal, nothing more (this is how Thymeleaf deals with it).
So if I try inline="text" instead
<script>
/*<![CDATA[*/
jQuery().ready(function(){
PhotoGallery.load(8,5,3,2).loadTheme(name='basic')
});
/*]]>*/
</script>
Which escapes the quotes.
inline="none" I do not really understand, as it does nothing
<script>
/*<![CDATA[*/
jQuery().ready(function(){
[[${pageHelper.documentReady}]]
});
/*]]>*/
</script>
To be honest I have no idea how to solve this issue and hopefully anybody out there knows how to deal with this.
Many thanks in advance
Cheers
John
I would change the approach.
Thymeleaf easily allows you to add model variables in your templates to be used in Javascript. In my implementations, I usually put those variables somewhere before the closing header tag; to ensure they're on the page once the JS loads.
I let the template decide what exactly to load, of course. If you're displaying a gallery, then render it as you would and use data attributes to define the gallery that relates to some JS code. Then write yourself a nice jQuery plugin to handle your gallery.
A relatively basic example:
Default Layout Decorator: layout/default.html
<!doctype html>
<html xmlns:layout="http://www.thymeleaf.org" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>My Example App</title>
<object th:remove="tag" th:include="fragments/scripts :: header" />
</head>
<body>
<div layout:fragment="content"></div>
<div th:remove="tag" th:replace="fragments/scripts :: footer"></div>
<div th:remove="tag" layout:fragment="footer-scripts"></div>
</body>
</html>
The thing to notice here is the inclusion of the generic footer scripts and then a layout:fragment div defined. This layout div is what we're going to use to include our jQuery plugin needed for the gallery.
File with general scripts: fragments/scripts.html
<div th:fragment="header" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<script type="text/javascript" th:inline="javascript">
/*<![CDATA[*/
var MY_APP = {
contextPath: /*[[#{/}]]*/,
defaultTheme: /*[[${theme == null} ? null : ${theme}]]*/,
gallery: {
theme: /*[[${gallery == null} ? null : ${gallery.theme}]]*/,
images: /*[[${gallery == null} ? null : ${gallery.images}]]*/,
names: /*[[${gallery == null} ? null : ${gallery.names}]]*/
}
};
/*]]>*/
</script>
</div>
<div th:fragment="footer" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/my_app.js"></script>
</div>
In the scripts file, there are 2 fragments, which are included from the decorator. In the header fragment, a helpful context path is included for the JS layer, as well as a defaultTheme just for the hell of it. A gallery object is then defined and assigned from our model. The footer fragment loads the jQuery library and a main site JS file, again for purposes of this example.
A page with a lazy-loaded gallery: products.html
<html layout:decorator="layout/default" xmlns:layout="http://www.thymeleaf.org/" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Products Landing Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<div layout:fragment="content">
<h1>Products</h1>
<div data-gallery="lazyload"></div>
</div>
<div th:remove="tag" layout:fragment="footer-scripts">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/my_gallery.js"></script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Our products page doesn't have much on it. Using the default decorator, this page overrides the page title in the head. Our content fragment includes a title in an h1 tag and an empty div with a data-gallery attribute. This attribute is what we'll use in our jQuery plugin to initialize the gallery.
The value is set to lazyload, so our plugin knows that we need to find the image IDs in some variable set somewhere. This could have easily been empty if the only thing our plugin supports is a lazyloaded gallery.
So the layout loads some default scripts and with cleverly placed layout:fragments, you allow certain sections of the site to load libraries independent of the rest.
Here's a basic Spring controller example, to work with our app: MyController.java
#Controller
public class MyController {
#RequestMapping("/products")
public String products(Model model) {
class Gallery {
public String theme;
public int[] images;
public String[] names;
public Gallery() {
this.theme = "basic";
this.images = new int[] {8,5,3,2};
this.names = new String[] {"Hey", "\"there's\"", "foo", "bar"};
}
}
model.addAttribute("gallery", new Gallery());
return "products";
}
}
The Gallery class was tossed inline in the products method, to simplify our example here. This could easily be a service or repository of some type that returns an array of identifiers, or whatever you need.
The jQuery plugin that we created, could look something like so: my_gallery.js
(function($) {
var MyGallery = function(element) {
this.$el = $(element);
this.type = this.$el.data('gallery');
if (this.type == 'lazyload') {
this.initLazyLoadedGallery();
}
};
MyGallery.prototype.initLazyLoadedGallery = function() {
// do some gallery loading magic here
// check the variables we loaded in our header
if (MY_APP.gallery.images.length) {
// we have images... sweet! let's fetch them and then do something cool.
PhotoGallery.load(MY_APP.gallery.images).loadTheme({
name: MY_APP.gallery.theme
});
// or if load() requires separate params
var imgs = MY_APP.gallery.images;
PhotoGallery.load(imgs[0],imgs[1],imgs[2],imgs[3]).loadTheme({
name: MY_APP.gallery.theme
});
}
};
// the plugin definition
$.fn.myGallery = function() {
return this.each(function() {
if (!$.data(this, 'myGallery')) {
$.data(this, 'myGallery', new MyGallery(this));
}
});
};
// initialize our gallery on all elements that have that data-gallery attribute
$('[data-gallery]').myGallery();
}(jQuery));
The final rendering of the products page would look like so:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Products Landing Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
/*<![CDATA[*/
var MY_APP = {
contextPath: '/',
defaultTheme: null,
gallery: {
theme: 'basic',
images: [8,5,3,2],
names: ['Hey','\"there\'s\"','foo','bar']
}
};
/*]]>*/
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<h1>Products</h1>
<div data-gallery="lazyload"></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/my_app.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/my_gallery.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
As you can see, Thymeleaf does a pretty good job of translating your model to valid JS and actually adds the quotes where needed and escapes them as well. Once the page finishes rendering, with the jQuery plugin at the end of the file, everything needed to initialize the gallery should be loaded and ready to go.
This is not a perfect example, but I think it's a pretty straight-forward design pattern for a web app.
instead of ${pageHelper.documentReady} use ${pageHelper.documentReady}

Autofocus on the textbox in html razor code

I want the cursor to be focused on the textbox when I load the page. I tried by adding autofocus="" but I couldn't find any difference in that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
#Html.TextBoxFor(
m => m.UserName,
"#xyz.com",
new { #class = "form-control input-lg", #id = "username"})
If you are ok with jquery, you can try using
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#username").focus();
});
</script>
You could use plain java script like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("username").focus();
</script>
The autofocus attribute isn't implemented in all browsers. It's a good subset of browsers with most newer browsers having it, but not all. It is likely you were using a browser that does not support the autofocus attribute. Dive into HTML 5 has a good listing of the browser support.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#username").focus();
});
}); </script>

ember I cannot append a view

Im trying to insert a simple handlebars, like this, but there's so little support and the guide in the official page is so sad that I couldnt accomplish this.
<head>
<!--HANDLEBAR-->
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="say-hello">
Hello, <b>{{name}}</b>
</script>
<!--VIEW-->
<script>
var view = Ember.View.create({
templateName: 'say-hello',
name: "Bob",
});
view.appendTo('#templateHere'); //here I try to append the view
</script>
In firebug I get the error: unable to find the template "say-hello"...........but I dont know why doesnt find it
Finally I accomplished, I write the solutions here because I think that ember need more documentation and it's worth because is very interesting (and powerful):
The problem was that I create an object of my view before defining it. The right code is this:
....
<!--HANDLEBAR-->
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="say-hello">
Hello, <b>{{name}}</b>
</script>
<!--VIEW-->
<script>
App = Ember.Application.create();
//DEFINE VIEW
App.Myview = Ember.View.extend({
templateName: 'say-hello',
name: "Bob",
});
//CREATE VIEW>
App.myview=App.Myview.create();
console.log(App.myview.get('name'));//only for debug
//APPEND VIEW
$(function() {
App.myview.append('#templateHere');
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="templateHere"></div>
</body>
</html>
