ExtJs 4.1.2 ComboBox Update or Reload Based on another ComboBox

I'd like to know a way of how to update the list values of a ExtJs ComboBox. For instance, I have two comboboxs.
One Combobox determine what values the another ComboBox should have. So, after selecting some of those,
I click the drowndown list (combobox) to see the values. But i dont get reflected.
change: function (combofirst, record) {
Ext.Ajax.request({
-- -- --
-- -- --
success: function (response) {
var combosecond = Ext.getCmp('defaultPackageType');
//I am unable to update the combosecond from below snippet.
combosecond.store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
fields: ['value', 'display'],
data: [
["N", "No"],
["A", "All accounts"]
] //json response
});
},
failure: function (record, action) {}
});
});
In short, how can I change the values of a ComboBox already has with ajax only.
Hope someone can help me
Thanks

I would also agree to the comment, that creating every time a new store and bind it to the combobox is not the optimal solution. I don't know really the reason why this should be done, but nevertheless here is a working example by using bindStore:
https://fiddle.sencha.com/#view/editor&fiddle/3ci0
Ext.create('Ext.form.field.ComboBox', {
// ...
listeners: {
change: {
fn: function (cb) {
Ext.Ajax.request({
url: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums',
method: 'GET',
timeout: 60000,
success: function (response) {
var jsonResp = response.responseText;
let jsonObj = Ext.JSON.decode(jsonResp, true)
var combo2 = Ext.getCmp('myCombo2');
combo2.bindStore(Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
fields: ['id', 'title'],
data: jsonObj
}));
}
});
}
}
}
});
For selection of value 1 the data is loaded from a different url.
But I would think about whether a new proxy call is necessary and whether you can achieve your requirements by using filters or something else.

Semantic UI Search Module does not display json response

I am trying to get Semantic UI's Search autocomplete to work. Everything seems to be working, except for the fact that the autocomplete always says no results found.
This is an example search:
This is the case even though the server response seems to work fine.
Here is the server responding with JSON:
Finally, here is my JQuery code:
$(".ui.search").search({
apiSettings: {
url : "/subtopics/search.json?query={query}"
},
fields: {
results : 'subtopics',
title : 'name'
},
minCharacters : 2
})
;
From all the examples I've seen this is the proper way to tell Semantic UI what fields to look at, but it's not working.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

It turns out using the onResponse callback included in the Semantic UI documentation (http://semantic-ui.com/behaviors/api.html#response-callbacks) is the solution to this problem.
Here is the code that ended up working:
$(".ui.search").search({
type: 'category',
minCharacters: 3,
apiSettings: {
onResponse: function(serverResponse) {
var
response = {
results: {}
}
;
//translate Server API response to work with search
$.each(serverResponse.subtopics, function(index, subtopic) {
var
topic = subtopic.topic || 'Unknown',
maxResults = 8
;
if(response.results[topic] === undefined) {
response.results[topic] = {
name: topic,
results: []
};
}
//add result to category
response.results[topic].results.push({
title: subtopic.name
});
});
return response;
},
url: "/subtopics/search.json?query={query}"
}
})
;

Select2 - Pass back additional data via ajax call

Ok, I feel like I'm going crazy here. I'm using the select2 jquery plugin (version 4), and retrieving data via ajax. So you can type in a name, and it will return that contact information. But I also want to return what organization that contact is a part of.
Here is my select2 initialization:
$('#contact_id').select2({
ajax: {
url: 'example.com/contacts/select',
dataType: 'json',
delay: 250,
data: function (params) {
return {
q: params.term,
page: params.page
};
},
processResults: function (data) {
return {
results: data
};
},
cache: true
},
minimumInputLength: 3,
maximumSelectionLength: 1
});
And here is the data I'm returning (laravel framework):
foreach($contacts as $con) {
$results[] = [
'id' => $con->contact_id,
'text' => $con->full_name,
'org' => [
'org_id' => $con->organization_id,
'org_name' => $con->org_name
]
];
}
return response()->json($results);
So isn't 'org' supposed to be attached to either the created option or select element by select2? So I could do something like $('#contact_id').select2().find(':selected').data('data').org or $('#contact_id').select2().data('data').org or something like that?
Idealistically, this would look like:
<select>
<option value="43" data-org="{org_id:377, org_name:'Galactic Empire'}">Darth Vader</option>
</select>
I swear I confirmed this worked last week, but now it's completely ignoring that org property. I have confirmed that the json data being returned does include org with the proper org_id and org_name. I haven't been able to dig anything up online, only this snippet of documentation:
The id and text properties are required on each object, and these are the properties that Select2 uses for the internal data objects. Any additional paramters passed in with data objects will be included on the data objects that Select2 exposes.
So can anyone help me with this? I've already wasted a couple hours on this.
EDIT: Since I haven't gotten any responses, my current plan is to use the processResults callback to spawn hidden input fields or JSON blocks that I will reference later in my code. I feel like this is a hacky solution given the situation, but if there's no other way, that's what I'll do. I'd rather that than do another ajax call to get the organization. When I get around to implementing it, I'll post my solution.

Can't comment for now (low reputation).. so... answering to slick:
Including additional data (v4.0):
processResults: function (data) {
data = data.map(function (item) {
return {
id: item.id_field,
text: item.text_field,
otherfield: item.otherfield
};
});
return { results: data };
}
Reading the data:
var data=$('#contact_id').select2('data')[0];
console.log(data.otherfield);

Can't remember what I was doing wrong, but with processResults(data), data contains the full response. In my implementation below, I access this info when an item is selected:
$('#select2-box').select2({
placeholder: 'Search Existing Contacts',
ajax: {
url: '/contacts/typeahead',
dataType: 'json',
delay: 250,
data: function(params){
return {
q: params.term,
type: '',
suggestions: 1
};
},
processResults: function(data, params){
//Send the data back
return {
results: data
};
}
},
minimumInputLength: 2
}).on('select2:select', function(event) {
// This is how I got ahold of the data
var contact = event.params.data;
// contact.suggestions ...
// contact.organization_id ...
});
// Data I was returning
[
{
"id":36167, // ID USED IN SELECT2
"avatar":null,
"organization_id":28037,
"text":"John Cena - WWE", // TEXT SHOWN IN SELECT2
"suggestions":[
{
"id":28037,
"text":"WWE",
"avatar":null
},
{
"id":21509,
"text":"Kurt Angle",
"avatar":null
},
{
"id":126,
"text":"Mark Calaway",
"avatar":null
},
{
"id":129,
"text":"Ricky Steamboat",
"avatar":null
},
{
"id":131,
"text":"Brock Lesnar",
"avatar":null
}
]
}
]

Using Select 2 with ASP.NET MVC

I am working on an ASP.NET MVC 4 app. In my app, I'm trying to replace my drop down lists with the Select 2 plugin. Currently, I'm having problems loading data from my ASP.NET MVC controller. My controller looks like this:
public class MyController : System.Web.Http.ApiController
{
[ResponseType(typeof(IEnumerable<MyItem>))]
public IHttpActionResult Get(string startsWith)
{
IEnumerable<MyItem> results = MyItem.LoadAll();
List<MyItem> temp = results.ToList<MyItem>();
var filtered = temp.Where(r => r.Name.ToLower().StartsWith(startsWith.ToLower());
return Ok(filtered);
}
}
When I set a breakpoint in this code, I notice that startsWith does not have a value The fact that the breakpoint is being hit means (I think) my url property below is set correct. However, I'm not sure why startsWith is not set. I'm calling it from Select 2 using the following JavaScript:
function formatItem(item) {
console.log(item);
}
function formatSelectedItem(item) {
console.log(item);
}
$('#mySelect').select2({
placeholder: 'Search for an item',
minimumInputLength: 3,
ajax: {
url: '/api/my',
dataType: 'jsonp',
quietMillis: 150,
data: function (term, page) {
return {
startsWith: term
};
},
results: function (data, page) {
return { results: data };
}
},
formatResult: formatItem,
formatSelection: formatSelectedItem
});
When this code runs, the only thing I see in the select 2 drop down list is Loading failed. However, I know my api is getting called. I can see in fiddler that a 200 is coming back. I can even see the JSON results, which look like this:
[
{"Id":1,"TypeId":2,"Name":"Test", "CreatedOn":"2013-07-20T15:10:31.67","CreatedBy":1},{"Id":2,"TypeId":2,"Name":"Another Item","CreatedOn":"2013-07-21T16:10:31.67","CreatedBy":1}
]
I do not understand why this isn't working.

From the documentation:
Select2 provides some shortcuts that make it easy to access local data
stored in an array...
... such an array must have "id" and "text" keys.
Your json object does not contain "id" or "text" keys :) This should work though i have not tested it:
results: function (data, page) {
return { results: data, id: 'Id', text: 'Name' }
}
There's further documentation following the link on alternative key binding... I believe thats where your problem lies.
Hopefully this helps.

twitter typeahead 0.9.3 remote return URL and json object

in bootstrap 2, I used the following code to post a json object,
$('#typeahead').typeahead({
source: function (query, process) {
var URL = 'http://localhost:8080/autocomplete/search/';
var query = {"t:jsonStringField": {
"name": "model",
"value": "fusion"
},
"t:jsonStringFilter": [
{"name": "year","value": "2009"},
{"name": "make","value": "ford"}
]
};
return $.getJSON(URL,
{ query: JSON.stringify(query)},
function (data) {
return process(data);
});
}
});
Now in twitter tyeahead 0.9.3 they have done away with the source concept and moved to a remote concept, but unfortunately I do no know how to work with it.
$(".typeahead").typeahead({
remote : {
url: 'http://localhost:8080/autocomplete/search/',
replace: function(uri, query) {
var query = {"t:jsonStringField": {
"name": "model",
"value": "fusion"
},
"t:jsonStringFilter": [
{"name": "year","value": "2009"},
{"name": "make","value": "ford"}
]
};
return uri + JSON.stringify(query);
},
filter: function(response) {
return response.matches;
}
return process(resultList);
}
}
Unfortunately it doesn't work, how do I just post the JSON object rather than appending it to the string? Thanks.

In your original code you use $.getJSON. This will send a request (and expects json as result) to: http://localhost:8080/autocomplete/search/?query=%7B%22t%3AjsonStringField%22%3A%7B%22name%22%3A%22model%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22fusion%22%7D%2C%22t%3AjsonStringFilter%22%3A%5B%7B%22name%22%3A%22year%22%2C%22value%22%3A%222009%22%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22make%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22ford%22%7D%5D%7D
To do the same for Twitter's Typeahead call your replace function of your remote data should return a valid url. In your function the ?query= part of the url is missing.
You will have to set: url: 'http://localhost:8080/autocomplete/search/?query=',
You also will have to urlencode you json input maybe.
Note: you will not need the line return process(resultList); You will have to use the filter function to convert your json results to valid data:
The individual units that compose datasets are called datums. The
canonical form of a datum is an object with a value property and a
tokens property.
you could use templates to style your dropdown results, see: http://twitter.github.io/typeahead.js/examples/
By default, the dropdown menu created by typeahead.js is going to look
ugly and you'll want to style it to ensure it fits into the theme of
your web page.
You will need the additional CSS from https://github.com/jharding/typeahead.js-bootstrap.css to style the default dropdown for Bootstrap.
