How to access the correct `this` inside a callback
(13 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have a page that includes an x amount of items and each of these include a HTML 5 input.
When user changes the value of the input the server gets invoked via an AJAX call. The server then responds with JSON that includes an array of items that include a quantity value. If the returned quantity value is different from the one that was sent to the server (value of input) I need to change the input box value so that it is equal to the returned quantity value.
My problem is that I am getting an undefined in the alert instead of the id, could someone please tell me why, thank you in advance!
JAVASCRIPT:
//loop through JSON returned items array
for (var i = 0; i < data.items.length; i++) {
var id = data.items[i].id;
var title = data.items[i].title
var price = data.items[i].price
var quantity = data.items[i].quantity
var image = data.items[i].image
//output JSON to HTML
$("#result").append("<div class='column left'><img src="+ image + "width=100 height=100 style=padding:20px></div><div class='column middle' >" + " " + title + " " + price + "</div><div class='column right' ><input id='" + id + "' type=number min=1 max=10 step=1 value="+quantity+" maxlength=2 size=2 /> <br><a data-id='" + id + "' href=# id='remove'>Remove</a></div>");
//load subtotal when page loads
$('#subtotal').html(data.items_subtotal_price);
}
JSON
//QUANTITY update
$(":input").bind('keyup mouseup', function () {
$.ajax({
url: "https://example.com/cart/change.json",
dataType: "jsonp",
data: {
id: $(this).attr('id'),
quantity : $(this).val()
},
//JSON response
success: function(data) {
console.log(data); //formatted JSON data
$('#subtotal').html(data.items_subtotal_price); //set subtotal from JSON
//1. loop through JSON items for id >> get returned quantity value where id matches id of input box
//2. if quantity returned is not equal to the quantity sent then it's been disallowed by the server >> update input box value to equal returned value
// getting UNDEFINED -
alert($(this).attr('id'));
}
});
});
In success() function, this refers the success() function but not the HTML element keyup mouseup binding function. To get keyup mouseup function instance you can add another variable self = this before writing the AJAX. Now, inside success function you can access that self reference to get the ID attribute. Example:
$(":input").bind('keyup mouseup', function () {
var self = this;
$.ajax({
// .....
// ....
success: function(data) {
alert($(self).attr('id'));
}
});
});
Alternatively you can bind this reference to success function using Function.prototype.bind() function without second var self. For instance
$(":input").bind('keyup mouseup', function () {
$.ajax({
// other properties
success: (function(data) {
alert($(this).attr('id'));
}).bind(this)
});
});

I have a drop down list and I want the value to be sent to the controller when an option is selected,replaceing the returned values in the desired inputs
Html Inputs :
<input type="text" class="form-control js-inputs" id="microchipcode">
<input class="form-control js-inputs" id="fa-horse">
<input type="text" id="fa-fatherhorse" class="form-control js-inputs">
Html DropDown:
$('.js-selected-item').change(function () {
let Value = $(this).val();
$.ajax({
data: { value: Value },
Url: "/Horse/GetHorseByMcode",
type: "post",
success: function (data) {
}
});
});
Controller :
public async Task<IActionResult> GetInfoHorse(string value)
{
var horse = await _coach.GetHorseByMcode(value);
if (horse != null)
{
return Json(horse);
}
return NotFound();
}
Query :
public async Task<Horse> GetHorseByMcode(string value)
{
return await _context.Horses.SingleAsync(h => h.MicrochipCode == value.Trim());
}
If you want to put a value into an input via js, add an ID to the inputs and do the following:
JS:
document.getElementById('//inputId').value = '';
Jquery:
("#//inputId").val("");
How do I access the data inside the object?
You can check the request and response in f12 developer tool Network tab, like below.
and implement frontend code to populate input field(s) in ajax success callback function based on your actual returned data.
For example:
success: function (data) {
$("#fa-fatherhorse").val(data.fatherHorse);
//populate other inputs based on your actual returned data
How to replace Drop Down list ?
If you want to dynamically set the selected value/option of the dropdown, you can try:
$("#dropdown_id_here").val(value_of_selected_option);
If you want to dynamically append <option> to your dropdown, you can try:
var newoption = "<option value='" + option_val + "'>" + option_text + "</option>";
$("#dropdown_id_here").append(newoption);
This is my current code, any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to call my listApp.json file and parse it. I want to display my list which currently has one link. I'm new to this.
<script type = "text/javascript">
// If the .js files are linked correctly, we should see the following output inside the JavaScript Console
console.log("starting...");
// Gets the .json file and applies the function
var json;
// When the document is ready then run the function
$(document).ready(function(){
// Standard jQuery ajax technique to load a .json file
$.ajax({
type: "GET", // Requests data from a specified resource
url: "include/listApp.json", // Gets the file on which the url is directed to
dataType: "json", // Data Type needs to be json in this case. This can be xml
success: jsonParser // If successful then run the, 'jsonParser' function
});
});
// Actual parse function
function jsonParser(data) {
JSON = data;
$(JSON).find("games").each(function (){
games = $(this);
var name = $(games).find("name").text();
var url = $(games).find("url").text();
var id = $(ganes).find("id").text();
console.log(name);
// Appends list + link + name
$("#myList").append('<li>'+ ""+name+""+'</li>');
$('#myList').listview('refresh');
$("#pages").append('<div data-role="page" id = "'+ id +'"><img src = '+ url +'> test</div>');
});
}
</script>
Since data is an object, you can access the games array using data.listApp.games and iterate over it using $.each(), then inside the loop callback you will the game object as second param and you can access its properties using member operator
function jsonParser(data) {
$.each(data.listApp.games, function (i, game) {
var name = game.name;
var url = game.url;
var id = game.id;
console.log(name);
// Appends list + link + name
$("#myList").append('<li>' + "" + name + "" + '</li>');
$('#myList').listview('refresh');
$("#pages").append('<div data-role="page" id = "' + id + '"><img src = ' + url + '> test</div>');
});
}
I design a datalist on web page. And I want to fill this datalist using JQuery. Controller execute a query and get a list of facilities. Then pass this list to client side. This datalist can show all the facilities. When user click this textbox, the facilities will be listed in drop down list. But when user click more than once, there will be duplicates in datalist. That means, if you click twice, the result will be shown twice in datalist.
Here is code in MVC view
datalist:
<input type="text" list="facility" autocomplete="on" name="Facility" id="facilities" />
<datalist id="facility"></datalist>
JQuery Code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#facilities').click(function () {
//alert("Clicked");
var postData = $('#clientTxt').val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '#Url.Action("FacilityCheck", "PCA")',
data: { clientTxt: postData },
success: function (result) {
//successful
for (var i = 0; i < result.facilities.length; i++) {
//alert(JSON.stringify(result.facilities[i]));
var option = "<option value ='" + result.facilities[i] + "'>" + result.facilities[i] + "</option>";
//I want to add an if judgement to avoid duplicates here
//Like contains() method in JAVA.
$('#facility').append(option);
}
},
error: function (result) {
alert('Oh no :(');
}
});
});
});
The duplicates image after clicking many times:
So please give me some advice. Thanks a lot!
It is because you are using the jQuery append() method and not replacing the HTML. Right now, you're just adding (appending) to it every time you iterate through your loop of result.facilities[i] instead of replacing the content.
Your best bet would be to add all of that source to a string and replace the $('#facility')'s innerHTML with the new content. You can use $('#facility').html(yourContentString); to do so.
Hope this helps!
For example...
success: function (result) {
var options = "";
//successful
for (var i = 0; i < result.facilities.length; i++) {
var option = "<option value ='" + result.facilities[i] + "'>" + result.facilities[i] + "</option>";
options = options + option;
} //end of loop
$('#facility').html(options); // replace the innerHTML of #facility with your new options string
},
Simply modify your success like this :
$('#facility').html('');
$('#facility').append(option);
Remove the items before appending them.
You can also use empty :
$('#facility').empty();
In Full Calendar, i have some droppable external items. When i drag and drop one of them and immediately i delete it, it gets deleted, everything works fine. However, when i drop multiple items, such as 2 and when i delete 2 of them, both gets removed from calendar in the view, actually one gets removed from database, if i refresh the page i can see that.
When i check the form input hidden's value which is event's id fetched from database or returned from database as last insert id via ajax, both are the same it seems, actually they are not the same.
I think what i need is, resetting the eventID variable after they got dragged and dropped. I tried to initiliza them as empty, but it doesn't work.
How can i reset their values after ajax submit for the next units, hence keeping that variable to attached to current. Also its a global variable, i think this is the problem.
My Codes:
var eventID; // global variable
Drop Function:
drop: function(date, allDay) {
var originalEventObject = $(this).data('eventObject');
// we need to copy it, so that multiple events don't have a reference to the same object
var copiedEventObject = $.extend({}, originalEventObject);
// assign it the date that was reported
copiedEventObject.start = date;
if($extraEventClass) copiedEventObject['className'] = [$extraEventClass];
var tempDate = new Date(date);
copiedEventObject.start = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(copiedEventObject.start, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
eventID = '';
$.ajax({
url: '<?=site_url("admin/calendar/add");?>',
data: 'title='+ copiedEventObject.title,
type: "POST",
success: function(newID){
eventID = newID;
//copiedEventObject._id = newID;
}
});
calendar.fullCalendar('renderEvent',
{
title: copiedEventObject.title,
start: date,
//id: copiedEventObject._id,
id: eventID,
}),
true // make the event "stick"
}
Event Click Function:
eventClick: function(calEvent, jsEvent, view) {
if(!eventID){
eventID = calEvent._id;
}
var form = $("<form id='changeName'>" +
"<h3 class='eventHeader'>Edit</h3>" +
"</div></form>");
form.append("<div class='controls'>" +
"<label class='control-label' for='title'>Name: </label>" +
"<input class='span3' name='title' autocomplete=off type='text' value='" + calEvent.title + "' />" +
"</div>");
form.append("<input type=hidden value='" + eventID + "' /> ");
form.append("<div class='controls'>" +
"<button type='submit'> Save </button>");
var div = bootbox.dialog(form,
[
{
"label" : "Delete",
"callback": function() {
deleteOrNot = confirm("Sure ??");
if (deleteOrNot) {
calendar.fullCalendar('removeEvents' , function(ev){
$.ajax({
url: '<?=site_url("admin/calendar/delete");?>',
data: 'id='+ eventID,
type: "POST"
});
return (ev._id == calEvent._id);
})
}
}
}
]);
$("#changeName").submit(function() {
calEvent.title = form.find("input[name=title]").val();
calEvent.description = form.find("input[name=description]").val();
calEvent.id = form.find("input[type=hidden]").val();
$.ajax({
url: '<?=site_url("admin/calendar/editTitle");?>',
data: 'title='+ calEvent.title+'&id='+ calEvent.id,
type: "POST"
});
calendar.fullCalendar('updateEvent', calEvent);
div.modal("hide");
return false;
});
}
In your delete process...you shouldn't be relying on the global eventID, rather just getting the ID from specific event
Change:
if(!eventID){
eventID = calEvent._id;
}
To:
var eventID = calEvent._id;
I suspect you also have a problem within drop by using the global eventID when dropping more than one at a time. Would have to see what // some methods here does.
What I would suggest is getting rid of the global eventID completely. When adding, wait for the id to be returned from server before passing the data to fullCalandar within your success callback
Similarly...within deleteOrNot...should make ajax request first, then only call the calendar.fullCalendar('removeEvents' within success callback of $.ajax. This will give confirmation of ajax success before user sees event removed. If ajax fails, user won't know using your approach
I have a function which updates a database via ajax. My issue is then how to update the data displayed on the page to show updated details. The POST data can vary and therefore the datastring would be something like this:
var dataString = '[name resource we are editing]=1' +
'¶1='+ para1 +
'¶2=' + para2+
'¶3=' + para3
I want the function below to split or loop through each of the POST variables in the datastring to update the text of an element on the page. I cannot figure out how.
function editAccount(dataString, details, form){
status = $(".status");
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "<?php echo BASE_PATH; ?>/edit/",
data: dataString,
success: function(response) {
$.each(response, function(key, value) {
success_code = key;
message = value;
});
if(success_code == 1){
status.text(message).addClass("valid");
//show details and hide form
$("#" + details).show();
$("#" + form).hide();
//HOW to do below?
//update details being displayed with datasource data
//loop through dataString to assign eg. $('#para1')text(para1);
} else {
status.text(message).addClass("invalid");
}
},
error: function(response){
status.text("There was a problem updating your details into our database. Please contact us to report this error.").addClass("invalid");
}
});
}
As mentioned in a previous comment, I would suggest declaring the dataString variable as an object:
var dataString = { '[name resource we are editing]' : 1,
'para1': para1,
'para2': para2,
'para3': para3
}
Now it'll be much easier to loop over the params, just using the function each, for instance, which you already use in your code:
$.each(dataString, function(key, value) {
// Do stuff with each param
});
EDIT:
As #Qpirate suggests, you also can use the javascript for loop:
for(var key in dataString){
// value => dataString[key]
}
