I have an ajax call that returns:
[{"fields":
{"account_to": ["Bank Account - SECU", "11000"],
"posted_by": 1,
"amount": "1000",
"created_date": "2015-07-31T14:53:03.766Z",
"posting_date": "2015-07-31T14:53:03.763Z",
"account_from": ["Consulting Income - ABC", "41000"],
"company": "S&S Co"},
"model": "base.glentry", "pk": 8},
{"fields": ...
]
Note that there is no: {'data': [ data array ]} which all the examples have. I can find how to change the name so that 'data' can be something else, but how do I make it render like this with AJAX without manually processing the return value and wrapping the data?
Here is my javascript:
$('#dt').dataTable( {
"processing": true,
"ajax": "http://localhost:8000/gl/",
"columns": [
{"": "fields.amount"}
]
} );
I've tried all sorts of things, but get the same result. What can I do?

My postman API is returning data without sorting for the dataset arry. Anyone please help me to write the code to sort it?
Or also can make it by using .find
{
"api_version": "0.1",
"time_stamp": 1661856020,
"providerid": 09099,
"start_timestamp": 1654041600,
"end_timestamp": 1654214400,
"value": 1440,
"fields": [
"time_stamp",
"bsp"
],
"dataset": [
[
"2022-06-02T00:00:00Z",
59
],
[
"2022-06-01T00:00:00Z",
58
]
]
}
Postman is just a debugging tool. It lets you call the API and conveniently inspect its responses by changing various parameters. If you want changed API response, you'll need to make changes to the API.
Second, isn't the dataset array already sorted? -59 is lower than -58, right?
Edit: Updating answer based on comments.
You can try to write a javascript code like this to sort the response.
var object = {
"api_version": "0.1",
"time_stamp": 1661856020,
"providerid": 09099,
"start_timestamp": 1654041600,
"end_timestamp": 1654214400,
"value": 1440,
"fields": [
"time_stamp",
"bsp"
],
"dataset": [
[
"2022-06-02T00:00:00Z",
59
],
[
"2022-06-01T00:00:00Z",
58
]
]
}
object.dataset.sort(function(a, b){return a[1] - b[1]});
console.log(object);
I want to display these fields :name, age, addresses_id, addresses_city, addresses_primary for each person into data studio.
My JSON data
{
"data": [
{
"name": "Lio",
"age": 30,
"addresses": [
{
"id": 7834,
"city": "ML",
"primary": 1
},
{
"id": 5034,
"city": "MM",
"primary": 1
}
]
},
{
"name": "Kali",
"age": 41,
"addresses": [
{
"id": 3334,
"city": "WK",
"primary": 1
},
{
"id": 1730,
"city": "DC",
"primary": 1
}
]
},
...
]
}
there is no problem if i don't render the addresses field
return {
schema: requestedFields.build(),
rows: rows
};
//rows:
/*
"rows": [
{
"values": ["Lio", 30]
},
{
"values": ["Kali", 41]
},
...
]
*/
The problem is
I'm not able to model the nested JSON data in Google Data Studio. I
have the problem exactly in the "addresses" field.
Could anyone tell me what format should be for the rows in this case?
As you already know, for each name of your dataset, you clearly have more than one row (one person has multiple addresses). Data Studio only accepts a single data for each field, since arrays are not supported at all. So you need to work on this.
There are some ways to solve this, but always keep in mind that:
getSchema() should return all available fields for your connector (the order doesn't really matter, since Data Studio always sort alphabetically the available fields)
getData() should return a list of values. But here the order is relevant: it should be the same as the parameter passed to getData() (which means the results should be dynamic, sometimes you'll return all values, sometimes not, and the order may change).
Solution 1: Return multiple rows per record
Since you can produce multiple rows for each name, just do it.
To achieve this, your field definition (=getSchema()) should include fields address_id, address_city and address_primary (you can also add address_order if you need to know the position of the address in the list).
Supposing getData() is called with all fields in the same order they were discribed, rows array should look like this:
"rows": [
{
"values": ["Lio", 30, "7834", "ML", 1]
},
{
"values": ["Lio", 30, "5034", "MM", 1]
},
{
"values": ["Kali", 41, "3334", "WK", 1]
},
{
"values": ["Kali", 41, "1730", "DC", 1]
},
...
]
IMO, this is the best solution for your data.
Solution 2: Return one address only, ignoring others
If you prefer one row per person, you can get one of the addresses and display only it (usually the main/primary address, or the first one).
To achieve this, your field definition (=getSchema()) should include fields address_id, address_city and address_primary.
Supposing getData() is called with all fields in the same order they were discribed, rows array should look like this:
"rows": [
{
"values": ["Lio", 30, "7834", "ML", 1]
},
{
"values": ["Kali", 41, "3334", "WK", 1]
},
...
]
Solution 3: Return all addresses, serialized in a field
This is helpful if you really need all information but do not want a complex scheme.
Just create a field called addresses in your field definition (=getSchema()) and write the JSON there as a string (or any other format you want).
Supposing getData() is called with all fields in the same order they were discribed, rows array should look like this:
"rows": [
{
"values": ["Lio", 30, "[{\"id\": 7834, \"city\": "ML", \"primary\": 1}, {\"id\": 5034, \"city\": \"MM\", \"primary\": 1}]"]
},
{
"values": ["Kali", 41, "[{\"id\": 3334, \"city\": \"WK\", \"primary\": 1}, {\"id\": 1730, \"city\": \"DC\", \"primary\": 1}]"]
},
...
]
This solution may appear senseless, but it is possible to interact with this data later in DataStudio using REGEX if really needed.
Solution 4: Create a different field for each address
If you're sure all records has a maximum number of addresses (in you example, both names have 2 addresses, for example), you can create multiple fields.
Your field definition (=getSchema()) should include fields address_id1, address_city1, address_primary1, address_id2, ... address_primaryN.
I wouldn't explain how rows should look like in this situation, but it is not hard to guess with the other examples.
The JSON Response I'm getting,
{
"user_data": {
"id": 22,
"first_name": xxx,
"last_name": xxx,
"phone_number": "123456789",
},
"question_with_answers" : [
{
"id": 1,
"question_name": "Features of our project that you like (select one
or more):",
"answers": [
{
"id": 19,
"question_id": 1,
"customer_id": 22,
"option": "Location",
},
{
"id": 20,
"question_id": 1,
"customer_id": 22,
"option": "Architecture",
},
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"question_name": "Features of our project that you DID NOT like
(select one or more):",
"answers": [
{
"id": 22,
"question_id": 2,
"customer_id": 22,
"option": "Location",
},
]
},
{
"id": 3,
"question_name": "How soon are you looking to buy a new home?",
"answers": [
{
"id": 24,
"question_id": 3,
"customer_id": 22,
"option": "Immediately",
}
]
}
]
}
So that is how JSON response looks like, now I need to display data using jquery
My js code
function openModal(Id){
var CustomerId = Id;
$.ajax({
type : 'get',
url: 'customer-details',
data: {
'CustomerId':CustomerId
},
success: function(data)
{
//what I have to do here
}
})
}
The output I want is,
first_name : xxx
last_name : xxx
phone_number : 123456789
1.Features of our project that you like (select one or more):
ans: Location, Architecture
2.Features of our project that you DID NOT like (select one or more)
ans: Location
3.How soon are you looking to buy a new home?
ans: Immediately
Thats how my output should look like from above json response,Is it possible to get above output using that Json response I got
There are two variable that I have passed from backend like user_data and question_with_answers
In success handler first of all make your json into a array using
var obj = JSON.parse(data);
Now in data you have array of your response and you can use this like
obj.first_name
obj.last_name
Note:- may be you have issue in JSON.parse so use first
var data = json.stringify(data)
after that use Json.parse function and use above data variable
this data
You have to set the dataType in the $.ajax call, set it to dataType:"json"...
After that, you got on the data variable in the success the json object and you can access it like data.user_data or data.id or data.first_name.
If you dont define the json as dataType, it will not work properly.
Addition
If you want to display the content of "question_with_answer" you have to iterate trough it, like ....
for (i in data.question_with_answer) { alert(data.qestion_with_answer[i]); }
For a Chrome app, wich stores data in IndexedDB, i have a object like this:
var simplifiedOrderObject = {
"ordernumber": "123-12345-234",
"name": "Mr. Sample",
"address": "Foostreet 12, 12345 Bar York",
"orderitems": [
{
"item": "brush",
"price": "2.00"
},
{
"item": "phone",
"price": "30.90"
}
],
"parcels": [
{
"service": "DHL",
"track": "12345"
},
{
"service": "UPS",
"track": "3254231514"
}
]
}
If i store the hole object in an objectStore, can i use an index for "track", which can be contained multiple times in each order object?
Or is it needed or possibly better/faster to split each object into multiple objectStores like know from relational DBs:
order
orderitem
parcel
The solution should also work in a fast way with 100.000 or more objects stored.
Answering my own question: I have made some tests now. It looks like it is not possible to do this with that object in only 1 objectStore.
An other example object which would work:
var myObject = {
"ordernumber": "123-12345-234",
"name": "Mr. Sample",
"shipping": {"method": "letter",
"company": "Deutsche Post AG" }
}
Creating an index will be done by:
objectStore.createIndex(objectIndexName, objectKeypath, optionalObjectParameters);
With setting objectKeypath it is possible to address a value in the main object like "name":
objectStore.createIndex("name", "name", {unique: false});
It would also be possible to address a value form a subobject of an object like "shipping.method":
objectStore.createIndex("shipping", "shipping.method", {unique: false});
BUT it is not possible to address values like the ones of "track", which are contained in objects, stored in an array. Even something like "parcels[0].track" to get the first value as index does not work.
Anyhow, it would be possible to index all simple elements of an array (but not objects).
So the following more simple structure would allow to create an index entry for each parcelnumber in the array "trackingNumbers":
var simplifiedOrderObject = {
"ordernumber": "123-12345-234",
"name": "Mr. Sample",
"address": "Foostreet 12, 12345 Bar York",
"orderitems": [
{
"item": "brush",
"price": "2.00"
},
{
"item": "phone",
"price": "30.90"
}
],
"trackingNumbers": ["12345", "3254231514"]
}
when creating the index with multiEntry set to true:
objectStore.createIndex("tracking", "trackingNumbers", {unique: false, multiEntry: true});
Anyhow, the missing of the possibility to index object values in arrays, makes using indexedDB really unneeded complicated. It's a failure in design. This forces the developer to do things like in relational DBs, while lacking all the possibilities of SQL. Really bad :(
I am very new to javascript. I have a requirement to make a server call, get the json response and parse the response and populate the formatted response to a variable inside a object literal.
Its looks something like this below:
$('#dataTables-example').dataTable({
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bAutoWidth": true,
"aaData":
[
[
"",
"1",
"name-key",
"description"
],
[
"",
"2",
"name",
"description"
],
[
"",
"23",
"name",
"description"
],
[
"",
"24",
"abs",
"Common"
],
[
"",
"5",
"name1",
"description"
],
[
"",
"6",
"name2",
"description"
]
]
});
In the above, I need to populate the aaData variable with json data from a server call. Please let me know how to get this done in javascript.
What you want is to call the server via AJAX. JQuery handles this for you quite easily.
Check out this link: https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
A simple example of using AJAX:
$.ajax({
url: 'your url here'
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
console.log(data)
}
});
You will want to make this call and set the data from the success function to a variable, format it correctly (possibly using for loops), and then use that variable as your 'aaData' value.
