Knockout.Js Array filter syntax - javascript

Just getting into javascript and knockout.js. I've found a bunch of examples of what I'm trying to accomplish. And I feel like there is a small syntax error I may be overlooking. I'm trying to filter a set already returned (this.tasks) from a server via ajax/json. I have that working fine. What I would like to do, is have users be able to switch between complete and incomplete tasks.
I switched the code to just run the foreach loop on tasksFiltered. "this.done" is either true or false.
Task template
var taskModel = function(id, title, description, done){
var self = this;
this.id = ko.observable(id);
this.title = ko.observable(title);
this.description = ko.observable(description);
this.done = ko.observable(done);
this.showEdit = ko.observable(false);
this.titleUpdate = ko.observable(false);
this.descriptionUpdate = ko.observable(false);
};
Page Model
var pageModelTasks = function(){
var self = this;
this.task_title = ko.observable("");
this.task_description = ko.observable("");
this.task_title_focus = ko.observable(true);
this.tasks = ko.observableArray([]);
this.tasksFiltered = ko.computed(function() {
return ko.utils.arrayFilter(this.tasks, function(Task) {
return Task.done == true;
});
});
// CRUD functions excluded
};
this doesn't work.

Two minor corrections to your code. First, as #XGreen mentioned, you need to pass the array value, not the observableArray instance, as the first parameter of the arrayFilter function. Lastly, because Task.done is observable, you need to invoke the member to get the value. Here's the modified code:
this.tasksFiltered = ko.computed(function() {
return ko.utils.arrayFilter(this.tasks(), function(Task) {
return Task.done() === true;
});
});

The second solution has a problem with the method ko.utils.stringStartsWith.
ko.utils.stringStartsWith missing in release file.
You can use this code:
var stringStartsWith = function (string, startsWith) {
string = string || "";
if (startsWith.length > string.length)
return false;
return string.substring(0, startsWith.length) === startsWith;
};
See Issue Link

It might help you
if (myList().length > 0) {
var text= this.filter().toLowerCase();
return ko.utils.arrayFilter(myList(), function (item) {
if (item.Label.toLowerCase().indexOf(text) > -1 || item.Desc.toLowerCase().indexOf(text) > -1) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
});
}

KnockoutJS passing ko.computed values to a function

I have a working knockout js script, myValues is an array result of a ko.computed, then I pass it down to myValues2 which calls a myFunction to make each object in that array as "observable". This works but I wanted to call myFunction in self.myValues so that I wouldn't have to create another observableArray myValues2. Can you help me combine the script of myValues and myValues2 so that I can finally delete self.myValues2. Here is my code:
var myFunction = function (id, name, amount, automatic) {
var self = this;
self.Id = ko.observable(id);
self.Name = ko.observable(name);
self.Amount = ko.observable(amount);
self.Automatic = ko.observable(automatic);
};
self.myValues = ko.computed(function () {
return ko.utils.arrayFilter(self.completeList(), function (ded) {
return ded.automatic() == true;
});
});
self.myValues2 = ko.observableArray();
self.myValues2(ko.utils.arrayMap(self.myValues(), function (dd) {
return new myFunction(dd.id(), dd.name(), dd.amount(), dd.automatic());
}));
self.completeList()
how defined this array?
Because you began to filter this list by automatic field and then to fill other list. Strange order.
return ded.automatic() == true;

Angular.extend evaluating parameterless functions

So I am having this weird issue where angular.extend is evaluating my parameterless functions. My userData factory is extended from my applicationUserData, but the end result is that my userData object in the userData factory has actual values for needsTraining and showWelcomeText instead of them being functions. The setUserData(appbaseUserData) function still shows up as a function. Any idea why this is?
application.factory('applicationUserData', [function(){
var userData;
return {
setUserData: function(appbaseUserData){
userData = appbaseUserData;
},
needsTraining: function(){
userData.ensureUserDataInitialized();
return userData.needsTraining;
},
showWelcomeText: function(){
userData.ensureUserDataInitialized();
return userData.showWelcomeText;
}
}
}]);
appBaseModule.factory("userData", ["applicationUserData", function(applicationUserData) {
var userData = {},
userDataInitialized = false;
userData.init = function(data) {
applicationUserData.setUserData(userData);
angular.extend(userData, applicationUserData, data);
userDataInitialized = true;
};
....
return userData;
}]);
It's probably not extend that's doing this.
Here is the source for that method in GitHub
function extend(dst) {
var h = dst.$$hashKey;
forEach(arguments, function(obj){
if (obj !== dst) {
forEach(obj, function(value, key){
dst[key] = value;
});
}
});
setHashKey(dst,h);
return dst;
}
What's in data at the time you're calling it? it's possible that it has some value that it's putting in that overwrites your function.
Either way, it's not extend itself. That's a pretty simple function.

knockout variable not defined - scoping issue?

I have the following code:
var ObjectViewModel = function (testObject) {
//debugger;
var self = this;
self.id = testSet.id;
self.details = testOject.details;
self.children = ko.observableArray(testObject.children);
self.childCount = ko.computed(function() {
return self.children().length;
});
self.addObject = function () {
//debugger;
// Pending UI
// Call API here
// On success, complete
self.children.push(dummyObject);
self.childToAdd("");
}.bind(self);
}
/ etc
However in childCount, this.children() is undefined. I'm trying to let the view show the length of the children array in real-time, so as the user adds/removes items, the count is updated. Any idea why this isn't working?
You can pass what the value of this should be when the function is executed to the computed function with the last parameter:
this.childCount = ko.computed(function() {
return this.children().length;
}, this);
You could also store a reference to this outside of the computed:
var self = this;
this.childCount = ko.computed(function () {
return self.children().length;
});

Knockout.js: Using nested observables with mapping plugin

I am building a sidebar to filter a main view, like for instance the one at John Lewis. I have the code working but it ain't pretty.
I know there are several SO questions on similar lines but I can't quite fathom my own use case.
I need to get the names of the checkboxes from the server ( eg via JSON ) to dynamically create observableArrays on my ShopView.
Here's how it is:
var data = {
'gender' : [ ],
'color' : [ ]
};
var filterMapping = {
create: function( obj ) {
return ko.observableArray( obj.data );
}
}
var ShopView = new function() {
var self = this;
ko.mapping.fromJS( { filters: data }, filterMapping, self );
// this is the bit I don't like
this.filterChange = ko.computed(function () {
for( var key in self.filters ) {
var obj = self.filters[key];
if( ko.isObservable(obj)){
obj();
}
}
});
this.filterChange.subscribe( function( ) {
//make AJAX request for products using filter state
});
}
My HTML looks as you'd expect:
Gender
<ul>
<li><input type="checkbox" value="male" data-bind="checked: filters.gender" />Male</li>
<li><input type="checkbox" value="female" data-bind="checked: filters.gender" />Female</li>
</ul>
As I say, it works, but it's not nice. In an ideal world I could subscribe to this.filters, eg
this.filters.subscribe( function() {
//make AJAX request for products using filter state
});
NB I'm not trying to do the filtering on the client side - just update my viewmodel when the dynamically-bound checkboxes change.
Any ideas? thanks!
First, the mapping plugin should be treated as an aid to code duplication. I don't think its a good idea to think of the mapping plugin as a solution in and of itself; at least not directly. It also obscures what is happening when you post your code on SO, since we can't see the models you are working with. Just a thought.
Now, ff you want to get dynamic filters from the server, and use them to filter a list of items (like you would in a store), I would do it something like this (here is the fiddle):
var FilterOption = function(name) {
this.name = name;
this.value = ko.observable(false);
};
var Filter = function(data) {
var self = this;
self.name = data.name;
options = ko.utils.arrayMap(data.options, function(o) {
return new FilterOption(o);
});
self.options = ko.observableArray(options);
self.filteredOptions = ko.computed(function() {
var options = []
ko.utils.arrayForEach(self.options(), function(o) {
if (o.value()) options.push(o.name);
});
//If no options, false represents no filtering for this type
return options.length ? options : false;
});
};
var ViewModel = function(data) {
var self = this;
self.items = ko.observableArray(data.items);
filters = ko.utils.arrayMap(data.filters, function(i) {
return new Filter(i);
});
self.filters = ko.observableArray(filters);
self.filteredItems = ko.computed(function() {
//Get the filters that are actually active
var filters = ko.utils.arrayFilter(self.filters(), function(o) {
return o.filteredOptions();
});
//Remove items that don't pass all active filter
return ko.utils.arrayFilter(self.items(), function(item) {
var result = true;
ko.utils.arrayForEach(filters, function(filter) {
var val = item[filter.name.toLowerCase()];
result = filter.filteredOptions().indexOf(val) > -1;
});
return result;
});
});
};
The next obvious step would be to add support for items that had multiple properties, but or options properties, but this should give you the basic idea. You have a list of filters, each with any number of options (which stack additively), and you use a computed items array to store the result of filtering the items.
Edit: To get the items using an ajax subscription, you would replace the FilteredItems prop with a computed that gets the selected filters, and then subscribe to it, like this:
var ViewModel = function(data) {
var self = this;
self.items = ko.observableArray(data.items);
filters = ko.utils.arrayMap(data.filters, function(i) {
return new Filter(i);
});
self.filters = ko.observableArray(filters);
self.selectedFilters = ko.computed(function() {
ko.utils.arrayFilter(self.filters(), function(o) {
return o.filteredOptions();
});
});
self.selectedFilters.subscribe(function() {
//Ajax request that updates self.items()
});
};

KnockoutJs computed array not calculated correctly

The code is as follows: EmployeeModel is the viewModel and the problem is that when I change an item's property - deletedFlag in employees (obs array), deletedItems is not updated.
How can i fix this?
function Employee(data) {
this.employeid = ko.observable(data.employeid);
this.name = ko.observable(data.name);
this.isactive = ko.observable(data.isactive);
this.deletedFlag = ko.observable(false);
}
var EmployeeModel = function () {
var self = this;
self.employees = ko.observableArray([]);
self.deletedItems = ko.computed(function () {
return ko.utils.arrayFilter(self.employees(), function (item) {
return item.deletedFlag == true;
});
}, this);
}
EDIT: and the following code marks one item from the array for deletion
self.removeEmployee = function (employee) {
employee.deletedFlag(true);
};
The property deletedFlag is an observable, therefore you need to retrieve its current value by invoking it as a function (you cannot compare it directly to any value):
self.deletedItems = ko.computed(function () {
return ko.utils.arrayFilter(self.employees(), function (item) {
return item.deletedFlag() == true; // <===
});
}, this);
