Loading data using Iron Router and Meteor - javascript

Here is my dilemma. I'm currently loading my categories using a static variable onto the 'category' page. Everything loads and the links are clickable but when a user clicks on the category. The 'categoryPage' won't load the respective images that belong to that category. Here is my code.
categoryPage HTML:
<template name="categoryPage">
<div class="text-center light-container" id="home-section">
<h1>{{categoryName}}</h1>
<hr/>
<div class="row">
{{#each categoryGifs}}
<a href="{{pathFor 'gif'}}">
<img class="freezeframe gifs" data-id="{{_id}}" src="{{image}}"/>
</a>
{{/each}}
</div>
</div>
</template>
categoryPage JS:
Template.categoryPage.helpers({
// Load 16 most recent ones
// When down arrow is click load another 16 more gifs
'categoryName': function(){
var category = this.params.category;
return category;
},
'categoryGifs': function() {
var category = this.params.category;
console.log(category);
return GifsCollection.find({category: category}, {fields: {_id: 1, image: 1, category: 1} });
}
});
Router JS:
Router.route('/categories', {
name: 'categories',
template: 'categories',
fastRender: true
});
Router.route('/categories/:category', {
name: 'categoryPage',
template: 'categoryPage',
data: function(){
var category = this.params.category;
return GifsCollection.find({category: category});
},
fastRender: true
});

in 'categoryGifs': function(), change
var category = this.params.category;
with:
var category = Router.current().params.category;
here is the working code:

Angular - can I use a single function on multiple objects within a nested ng-repeat that triggers the ng-show of just that object?

SUMMARYI have a list of brands and a list of products. I am using an ng-repeat to show the list of brands, and an ng-repeat with a filter to show the list of products within their respective brands. I want each brand and each product to have a button that shows more about that brand/product. All of these buttons should use the same function on the controller.
PROBLEMThe button that shows more about the brand also shows more about each of that brand's products, UNLESS (this is the weird part to me) I click the button of a product within that brand first, in which case it will work correctly.
CODEPlease see the Plunker here, and note that when you click on 'show type' on a brand, it also shows all the types of the products within that brand: http://plnkr.co/edit/gFnq3O3f0YYmBAB6dcwe?p=preview

}
});
IMPORTANT NOTE: I realize I could add an attribute to the object (brand.show) and pass the object into the function, then change that attribute to true/false, but I don't want to do this because in my actual application, the button will show a form that edits the brand/product and submits the info to Firebase, and I don't want the object to have a 'show' attribute on it. I would rather not have to delete the 'show' attribute every time I want to edit the info in Firebase.
ng-repeat directive create own scope, when you do
this.show = !this.show
you create/change show property in current scope, if click brand button - for brand scope, that global for product, and when click in product button - for scope concrete product.
To avoid this, you should create this property before clicking button, for example with ng-init, like
ng-init="show=false;"
on element with `ng-repeat" directive
Sample
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('MyController', function($scope) {
$scope.brands = [{
name: 'Kewl',
type: 'Cereal'
}, {
name: 'Joku',

$scope.showType = function(item) {
this.show = !this.show;

The easiest fix for this, if you don't mind putting temporary properties in your data is the following changes:
<div ng-show="product.show">
{{product.type}}
</div>
and
<div ng-show="brand.show">
{{brand.type}}
</div>
and then in your controller
$scope.showType = function(item) {
item.show = !item.show;
}
Alternatively, if you don't want to touch the object properties, you can create an $scope.shownTypes array and have your click either push the object into or remove the object from the shown array. THen you can check for the object's existence in the array and show or not show the type appropriately. Let me know if you need a sample of that.
Your show boolean attribute same for whole tree (is in same scope). Using angular directive with child scope scope:true in ng-repeat helps to isolate each show property. I have forked your plunker code:

How to get a child collection when the id of the parent isn't in the URL?

I have a Book and a Chapter collection. In a template called book_list.html there's an each statement listing all the book items:
<!-- book_list.html -->
<template name="bookList">
<div class="book-list">
{{#each books}}
{{> bookItem}}
{{/each}}
</div>
In order to get the word count I created a helper in book_item.js which works by fetching all the chapters in the book and returning the sum of all of their words.
Everything was OK, until I decided to remove the autopublish package and use publish and subscribe instead. The problem now is that I don't know how to do get the ID of the current book in book_list since its ID is not present in the URL (book_list is the home page).
This is the code (minus the code for the word count):
//publications.js
Meteor.publish("books", function() {
return Books.find({});
});
Meteor.publish("chapters", function(bookId) {
return Chapters.find({
bookId: bookId
}, {
sort: {
position: 1
}
});
});
//route.js
Router.map(function() {
this.route("bookList", {
path: "/",
waitOn: function() {
return Meteor.subscribe("books");
},
data: function() {
return Books.find({});
}
});
});
//book_item.js
Template.bookItem.helpers({
words: function() {
var chapters = Chapters.find({
bookId: this._id
}).fetch();
// code for the word counter

knockout multi view using templates

I have a list of products where the name is a link to the product's details view. The list of products is the "Results" view
Samsumg
iPhone
When the user clicks on a product, the "Details" template is shown, and the "Results" template is not shown; at least that is the behavior that I want.
I am using the following code to accomplish this behavior, and have the jsFiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/justinnafe/mLf5G/:
<div data-bind="template: displayMode"></div>
<script type="text/html" id="Result">
<ul data-bind="foreach: products">
<li></li>
</ul>
</script>
<script type="text/html" id="Details">
<p data-bind="text: name"></p>
<p data-bind="text: description"></p>
</script>
and the javascript:
var view = {
name: "Result"
};
var initialProducts = [{
name: "Samsumg",
description: "The best phone"
},{
name: "iPhone",
description: "The other best phone"
}];
var viewModel = (function (){
var products = ko.observableArray(initialProducts),
displayMode = ko.observable(view),
switchDisplayMode = function(item){
if (displayMode() == 'Result') {
displayMode({ name: "Details", data: item });
}
else {
displayMode({ name: "Result", data: item });
}
};
return {
products: products,
displayMode: displayMode,
switchDisplayMode: switchDisplayMode
};
})();
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
I am trying to pass that product to the Details template, but have been unsuccessful. Any clues or tips would be helpful.
I am currently getting a "ReferenceError: products is not defined" error when I click on a link, but not sure how to fix it. Maybe if I fix that error, the switching views will behave as expected.
In your function to switch the template, you are forgetting that your displayMode observable is holding an object - not a string value.
So inside switchDisplayMode, displayMode() = { name: 'Result' }. Switching that to displayMode().name fixes the problem. See updated fiddle

Link to nested resource loses active class after page reload

I'm learning ember these days and I encountered a problem with link-to helper. If I use it to create a link for nested route it works fine (if click on the link, "active" class will be added to the element - as described in docs) until I reload the page. When I reload the page the content for nested rouse will be loaded to the {{outlet}} properly but link will lose its "active" class. What am I doing wrong?
JavaScript:
window.App = Ember.Application.create({ rootElement: '#app' });
App.Router.map(function () {
this.resource('notes', { path: '/' }, function () {
this.route('show', { path: '/:note_id' });
});
});
App.NotesRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function () {
return App.Note.find();
}
});
App.NotesShowRoute = Em.Route.extend({
model: function (params) {
return App.Note.find(params.note_id);
}
});
App.Note = Em.Object.extend();
App.Note.reopenClass({
find: function(id) {
var notes = [
{
id: 1,
title: 'abc',
text: 'lorem ipsum text 1111111'
},
{
id: 2,
title: 'def',
text: 'lorem ipsum text 2222222'
}
];
return id ? notes[parseInt(id) - 1] : notes;
}
});
HTML:
<div id="app" class="row">
<script type="text/x-handlebars">
<div class="col-md-2">
<h2>Tags</h2>
</div>
{{outlet}}
</script>
</div>
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="notes">
<div class="col-md-3">
<h2>Notes</h2>
{{#each}}
{{#link-to 'notes.show' this}}{{title}}{{/link-to}}
{{/each}}
</div>
{{outlet}}
</script>
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="notes/show">
<div class="col-md-7">
<h2>{{title}}</h2>
<p>{{text}}</p>
</div>
</script>
When you click a link-to, it passes the object to the new route. So the model lookup isn't called. So both the context of the show route and the linked object refer to the same object. So it will get marked as active.
However, when you refresh the page, you're doing the lookup twice, once in the NotesRoute model (which you loop over with each), and once in the NotesShowRoute model.
Javascript objects are reference types. Two plain javascript objects aren't considered equal, even if their content is the same. e.g. try typing this into your javascript console.
{ one: 1, two: 2} == {one: 1, two: 2}
So the object referred to in the link-to isn't the same as the model of the current route. So the equality check for the link being active won't work.
Quick solution is to stop the find from creating the object every time. e.g.
App.Note.reopenClass({
all: [
{
id: 1,
title: 'abc',
text: 'lorem ipsum text 1111111'
},
{
id: 2,
title: 'def',
text: 'lorem ipsum text 2222222'
}
],
find: function(id) {
return id ? this.all[parseInt(id) - 1] : this.all;
}
});
Another options is to roll some sort of identity map for your objects. Here is a blog post doing a much better example than I can of explaining it.
Note I haven't actually tested that code because I'm too lazy to create a jsbin. But let me know if it doesn't work.

Child outlet goes empty when I refresh the url with id from {{link-to}} in Emberjs

I have a weird issue, the child outlet goes empty whenever I will refresh the page with the id. I have a list generated by {{link-to}} helper.
<script type="text/x-handlebars" id="twod">
<div class="row">
<div class="span4">
<img src="/img/2DPipeline.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="span3">
<h4>People with Roles</h4>
<div class="row">
<div class="span2">
<ul>
{{#each item in model}}
<li>{{#link-to 'twoduser' item}}{{item.firstname}} {{/link-to}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="span">
{{outlet}}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</script>
Here's the twoduser template,
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="twoduser">
<div class="row">
<div class="span3">
Full Name: {{firstname}}{{lastname}}
EMail: {{email}}
</div>
</div>
</script>
App.js,
App.Router.map(function() {
this.resource('twod', function() {
this.resource('twoduser', {
path : ':user_id'
});
});
this.resource('threed');
});
App.TwoduserRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model : function(params) {
return App.Twod.findBy(params.user_id);
}
});
App.Twod.reopenClass({
findAll : function() {
return new Ember.RSVP.Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
$.getJSON("http://pioneerdev.us/users/index", function(data) {
var result = data.users.map(function(row) {
return App.Twod.create(row);
});
resolve(result);
}).fail(reject);
});
},
findBy : function(user_id) {
var user = App.Twod.create();
$.getJSON("http://ankur.local/users/byId/" + user_id, function(data) {
user.setProperties(data.user);
});
user.set("user_id", user_id);
return user;
}
});
App.TwodRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model : function() {
return App.Twod.findAll();
}
});
Selecting each one individually works fine and fills the child outlet, but when I refresh it, it goes blank.
Any ideas what might be causing the issue?
I can see two possible problems.
The first is that your URLs are different between findAll and findBy. Was that intentional?
The second is that findAll returns an Ember promise (Ember.RSVP.Promise), but findBy does not.
[UPDATE] : Based on the JSBin in the comments : http://jsbin.com/iPUxuJU/1/
The problem here is that the API endpoint is returning an array in the user response. It currently looks like this:
{user : [{ ... }] }
Ideally it would look like this :
{user : {....} }
You could change the API endpoint, or you could update your code to pull the first element from that array. Instead of :
user.setProperties(data.user);
You could do :
user.setProperties(data.user[0]);
Here's an altered JSBin : http://jsbin.com/oquBoMA/1#/twod/2
