This doesn't work but I can't see why it wouldn't? any help people? :)
params = qs.split("=", 2),
id = params[1];
if(id.indexOf("?") != -1){
id = id.split("?", 1);
}
basically I want to change the value of 'ID' if the IF statement is true, if not.. it skips it and the value Id remains the default.
Thanks
The result of id = id.split("?", 1) is an array (of at most 1 item), but I think you want id to be a string. That would explain why id is not a string like you want.
I agree with the other comments. Please show us the URL string you want to parse and tell us which piece you're trying to get. Usually, you look for ? first, separate after that and then divide up various key=value sections.
If you had a URL like this:
http://www.example.com?foo=bar
Here's a simple function that gets you all the query parameters into an object:
function getParms(url) {
var sections, key, pieces = url.split("?");
var results = {};
if (pieces.length > 1) {
sections = pieces[1].split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < sections.length; i++) {
key = sections[i].split("=");
results[key[0]] = key[1];
}
}
return(results);
}

I have two really long arrays containing "picture names" and "picture files". The first one represents the actual name of the pictures, while the second one is just the file name. For example:
picturenames[0] = '0 - zero';
picturenames[1] = '1 - one';
picturenames[2] = '1 o\'clock';
...
picturefiles[0] = 'numbers-zero.jpg';
picturefiles[1] = 'numbers-one.jpg';
picturefiles[2] = 'time-1.jpg';
...
I have about 1000 items in each array in several languages (the picture files are always the same). I'm "recycling" these arrays from the previous application to save some time and avoid rewriting everything anew.
Desirable functionality: using the user's input in a textbox I want to filter the picturenames array and then show the correspondant picturefiles image.
The issue I'm facing: when I filter the picturenames array I lose the index and I can't "reach" the picture file name.
This is the code I'm using to filter the picturenames array.
var matches = picturenames.filter(function(windowValue){
if(windowValue) {
return windowValue.indexOf(textToFindLower) >= 0;
}
});
What would be the best way to do this?
UPDATE: the solution proposed by Ahmed is the best one, but for time reasons and negligible performance issues I'm just using a for loop to search trough the array, as follows:
var matchesCounter = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < picturenames.length; i++) {
if (picturenames[i].indexOf(textToFindLower) >= 0) {
matchesCounter.push(i);
}
}
console.log(matchesCounter);
for (i = 0; i < matchesCounter.length; i++) {
console.log(picturenames[i]);
console.log(picturefiles[i]);
}
Try this:
const foundIndicies = Object.keys(picturenames).filter(pictureName => {
pictureName.includes(textToFindLower)
});
// reference picturefiles[foundIndicies[0]] to get the file name
Though, it would be far nicer to have both the name and the file in a single object, like so:
const pictures = [
{
name: '0 - zero',
file: 'numbers-zero.jpg',
},
{
name: '1 - one',
file: 'numbers-one.jpg',
}
];
const foundPictures = pictures.filter(picture => picture.name.includes('zero'));
if (foundPictures[0]) console.log(foundPictures[0].file);
You can add one property index during the filtering time, then later on you can use the index.
var matches = picturenames.filter(function(windowValue, index){
if(windowValue) {
windowValue.index = index;
return windowValue.comparator(textToFindLower) >= 0;// Need to define comparator function
}
});
Later on you can access by using like follows:
picturefiles[matches[0].index]
However, the solution will work on object, not primitive type string.
If your data type is string, then you have to convert as object and put the string as a property value like name. The snippet is given below:
var picturenames = [];
var picturefiles = [];
picturenames.push({name:'0 - zero'});
picturenames.push({name:'1 - one'});
picturenames.push({name:'1 o\'clock'});
picturefiles.push({name:'numbers-zero.jpg'});
picturefiles.push({name:'numbers-one.jpg'});
picturefiles.push({name: 'time-1.jpg'});
var textToFindLower = "0";
var matches = picturenames.filter(function(windowValue, index){
if(windowValue) {
windowValue.index = index;
return windowValue.name.indexOf(textToFindLower) >= 0;
}
});
console.log(matches);
I am trying to display data from an external .jsp file, which is set up something like this:
<tag>
<innertag1 id="1">
<innertag1 id="2">
</tag>
<tag>
<innertag2 id="3">
<innertag2 id="4">
</tag>
To display only information from only one particular "innertag" tag, I'm currently using:
NodeList labs = XMLInfo.getElementsByTagName("innertag1");
I'd like to be able to isolate any particular tag with ease. Theoretically, I could create many individual pages and simply change the values to "innertag2," "innertag3," etc., but this is obviously a bit impractical.
Is there a way to determine the value via a URL parameter? For instance, if I wanted to only display data from "innertag2," is there a way that the url http://www.server.com/data.jsp?id=innertag2 would adjust the tagname properly?
Thank you, any help would be much appreciated.
You can parse document.location.href and extract parameters from there. This is from an old HTML file where I used this technique (not sure if it's compatible on all browsers, however).
var args = {};
function parseArgs()
{
var aa = document.location.href;
if (aa.indexOf("?") != -1)
{
aa = aa.split("?")[1].split("&");
for (var i=0; i<aa.length; i++)
{
var s = aa[i];
var j = s.indexOf("=");
if (j != -1)
{
var name = s.substr(0, j);
var value = s.substr(j + 1);
args[name] = value;
}
}
}
}
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can access parameters from the url using location.search.
6502's answer is almost good enough, it's not url decoding parameters. The function below is a bit more polished (descriptive variable names, no global variables)
function getUrlParams() {
var paramMap = {};
if (location.search.length == 0) {
return paramMap;
}
var parts = location.search.substring(1).split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < parts.length; i ++) {
var component = parts[i].split("=");
paramMap [decodeURIComponent(component[0])] = decodeURIComponent(component[1]);
}
return paramMap;
}
Then you could do
var params = getUrlParams();
XMLInfo.getElementsByTagName(params['id']); // or params.id
I have a problem like this Convert an HTML form field to a JSON object with inner objects but in to the other direction.
This is the JSON Object response from the server:
{
company : "ACME, INC.",
contact : {
firstname : "Daffy",
lastname : "Duck"
}
}
And this is the HTML form:
<form id="myform">
Company: <input type="text" name="company" />
First Name: <input type="text" name="contact.firstname" />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="contact.lastname" />
</form>
And this is the (pseudo)code:
var aFormFields;
for (var i = 0, iMax = aFormFields.length; i < iMax; i++) {
var sFieldName = aFormFields[i].getAttribute('name');
eval("sFieldValue = oResponse."+sFieldName);
}
Ok my solution works, but i looking for a good way to remove the evil eval from the code.
And the solution should also work for form fields with any count of dots in the field name.
Instead of:
eval("sFieldValue = oResponse."+sFieldName);
Use for single dotted fields:
sFieldValue = oResponse[sFieldName];
This will retrieve the value via its key.
Now if you need more than that you need to do the following:
Split sFieldName on .
Loop over that array and go down in oResponse till you reach the value that you desire
Code could look like this:
var node = oResponse, parts = sFieldName.split('.');
while(parts.length > 0) {
node = node[parts.shift()];
}
// node will now have the desired value
Further information on "Member Operators":
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Member_Operators
This works for a single property:
sFieldValue = oResponse[sFieldName]
But it won't work for nested data like contact.firstname.
For that, split the name by dots, and use loop through each name:
var aFormFields;
for (var i = 0, iMax = aFormFields.length; i < iMax; i++) {
var aFieldNameParts = aFormFields[i].getAttribute('name').split(".");
var oFieldValue = oResponse;
for(var j=0; j<aFieldNameParts.length; j++) {
oFieldValue = oFieldValue[aFieldNameParts[j]];
}
var sFieldValue = oFieldValue;
}
Note: if a property does not exist, an error will occur. You might want to check whether oFieldValue[ aFieldNameParts[j] ] exists or not.
While it is possible, I wouldn't loop over the input fields, but over the JSON object:
function fillForm (form, data, prefix) {
prefix = prefix ? prefix + "." : "";
for (var x in data) {
if (typeof data[x] === "string") {
var input = form.elements[prefix + x];
if (input)
input.value = data[x];
} else
fillForm(form, data[x], prefix + x);
}
}
fillForm(document.getElementById("myform"), oResponse);
(untested)
Assuming your naming scheme is consistent, you can convert the dot-notation into subscripts. You'd have to split the field name on the period and iterate or recurse over the tokens, converting each into a subscript. Of course this assumes that oResponse always contains a value for every field.
for (var i = 0; i < aFormFields.length; i++) {
var sFieldName = aFormFields[i].getAttribute('name');
var tokens = sFieldName.split('.');
var cur = oResponse;
for (var j = 0; j < tokens.length; j++) {
cur = cur[tokens[j]];
}
sFieldValue = cur;
}
please treat this as a combination of answer and question :)
i am currently trying to get my server to jsonify the data that i get sent from a form just like you...
in my case the form will in the end create a json object with multiple subobjects that can have subobjects which can have... as well.
the depth is up to the user so i should be able to support infinite recursion.
my "solution" so far just feels wrong, but it correctly does the job,
the function getRequestBody gets fed a req.body object from expressjs,
this is basically an object with the following mapping:
{
"ridic-ulously-deep-subobject": "value",
"ridic-ulously-deep-subobject2": "value",
"ridic-ulously-deep2-subobject3": "value",
}
the following html is in use:
<form>
<input name="ridic-ulously-long-class-string" value="my value" />
</form>
and the javascript function (that should work genericly, feed it a req.body object like above and it will return a json object):
function getRequestBody(reqB){
var reqBody = {};
for(var keys in reqB) {
var keyArr = keys.split('-');
switch(keyArr.length){
case 1:
if(!reqBody[keyArr[0]]) reqBody[keyArr[0]] = {};
reqBody[keyArr[0]] = reqB[keys];
break;
case 2:
if(!reqBody[keyArr[0]]) reqBody[keyArr[0]] = {};
if(!reqBody[keyArr[0]][keyArr[1]]) reqBody[keyArr[0]][keyArr[1]] = {};
reqBody[keyArr[0]][keyArr[1]] = reqB[keys];
break;
case 3:
if(!reqBody[keyArr[0]]) reqBody[keyArr[0]] = {};
if(!reqBody[keyArr[0]][keyArr[1]]) reqBody[keyArr[0]][keyArr[1]] = {};
if(!reqBody[keyArr[0]][keyArr[1]][keyArr[2]]) reqBody[keyArr[0]][keyArr[1]][keyArr[2]] = {};
reqBody[keyArr[0]][keyArr[1]][keyArr[2]] = reqB[keys];
break;
case 4:
// ...
//and so on, always one line longer
}
return reqBody;
}
this just feels wrong and its only covering 5 levels of subobjects right now,
it might happen that an application has enough functionality to reach seven or even ten levels though.
this should be a common problem, but my search effort turned up nothing within 10 minutes,
which usually means that i am missing some keywords
or
that there is no viable solution [yet] (which i cant really imagine in this case).
is there someone out there who has imagination and logic sufficient enough to unspaghettify this or will i just have to expand this function with even more clutter to get me down to 10 possible sublevels?
i think that in the end it wont make a big difference performance wise,
but i would really like NOT to create this awful behemoth :D
have fun

Hi I am new to Netui and Javascript so go easy on me please. I have a form that is populated with container.item data retuned from a database. I am adding a checkbox beside each repeater item returned and I want to add the container item data to an array when one of the checkboxes is checked for future processing.
The old code used Anchor tag to capture the data but that does not work for me.
<!--netui:parameter name="lineupNo" value="{container.item.lineupIdent.lineupNo}" />
here is my checkbox that is a repeater.
<netui:checkBox dataSource="{pageFlow.checkIsSelected}" onClick="checkBoxClicked()" tagId="pceChecked"/>
this is my Javascript function so far but I want to a way to store the container.item.lineupIdent.lineupNo in the array.
function checkBoxClicked()
{
var checkedPce = [];
var elem = document.getElementById("PceList").elements;
for (var i = 0; i < elem.length; i ++)
{
if (elem[i].name == netui_names.pceChecked)
{
if (elem[i].checked == true)
{
//do some code. }
}
}
}
I hope this is enough info for someone to help me. I have searched the web but could not find any examples.
Thanks.
var checkedPce = new Array();
//some other code
checkedPce[0] = stuff_you_want_to_add
If you merely want to add a value to an array, you can use this code:
var array = [];
array[array.length] = /* your value */;
You may need to use a dictionary approach instead:
var dictionary = {};
function yourCode(element) {
var item = dictionary[element.id];
if (item == null) {
item = /* create the object */;
dictionary[element.id] = item;
}
// Use the item.
}
This might seems a very newbie sort of question, but I am struggling with this as of now and seek some help.
Here is a example array in JavaScript
var SelectedFilters = ["[size:12:12]","[size:12:12]","[size:13:13]","[size:14:14]", "[color:14:14]","[color:14:14]","[type:14:14]","[type:14:14]"];
Now I wish to remove certain items from this array based on a search term, now the search term contains only a part of string such as
var searchTerm1 = 'size'
var searchTerm2 = 'color'
I have already tried the following code, but its not working:
var i = SelectedFilters.indexOf(searchTerm1);
if (i != -1)
{
SelectedFilters.splice(i, 1);
}
I have also tried running to through for loop, to iterate on all items, but again search failed as its not able to match 'size' OR 'color'
What I am looking: if searchterm1 is used, the resulted output will be like:
["[color:14:14]","[color:14:14]","[type:14:14]","[type:14:14]"];
and in case of searchterm2 is used the resulted output should be:
["[size:12:12]","[size:12:12]","[size:13:13]","[size:14:14]","[type:14:14]","[type:14:14]"];
It would be great if anyone can solve this puzzle, I am also trying to find a solution in the meantime.
Your attempt didn't work because .indexOf() on an Array looks for an exact match.
Since according to your question and comment you need to mutate the original Array, you should loop over the array and test each string individually and then call .splice() every time you find one that needs to be removed.
var SelectedFilters = ["[size:12:12]","[size:12:12]","[size:13:13]","[size:14:14]", "[color:14:14]","[color:14:14]","[type:14:14]","[type:14:14]"];
var searchTerm1 = 'size'
var searchTerm2 = 'color'
for (var i = SelectedFilters.length-1; i > -1; i--) {
if (SelectedFilters[i].startsWith(searchTerm1, 1)) {
SelectedFilters.splice(i, 1)
}
}
document.querySelector("pre").textContent =
JSON.stringify(SelectedFilters, null, 2)
<pre></pre>
The loop used above goes in reverse. This is important since every time we do a .splice(), the array gets reindexed, so if we went forward, we would end up skipping over adjacent items to be removed.
The .startsWith() method checks if the string starts with the given search term. I passed the second parameter a value of 1 so that it starts searching on the second character.
You can use filter method of array
var searchTerm = "size";
SelectedFilters = SelectedFilters.filter(function(val){
return val.indexOf( searchTerm ) == -1;
});
You can do it with Array#filter,
var searchTerm1 = 'size';
var result = SelectedFilters.filter(v => !v.includes(searchTerm1));
console.log(result); //["[color:14:14]","[color:14:14]","[type:14:14]","[type:14:14]"];
If you want to alter the original array then do,
var SelectedFilters = ["[size:12:12]", "[size:12:12]", "[size:13:13]", "[size:14:14]", "[color:14:14]", "[color:14:14]", "[type:14:14]", "[type:14:14]"];
var searchTerm1 = 'size',cnt = 0, len = SelectedFilters.length - 1;
while (cnt <= len) {
if (SelectedFilters[len - cnt].includes(searchTerm1)) SelectedFilters.splice(len - cnt, 1);
cnt++;
}
console.log(SelectedFilters);
