Adding data to jQuery-Flexigrid without ajax-request - javascript

I want to save some unneeded requests and time for displaying a table the first time and so I thought maybe I could set the initial data directly without any ajax-request. I tried it like that:
$('#testTable').flexAddData('[formatted json here]');
and also that
$('#testTable').addData('[formatted json here]');
But it hasn't any effect. Can I do that and what is the right syntax?

I've also met this problem and spent a lot of time trying to solve it. Solution in my case was pretty simple. You just need to specify dataType : "json" obviously in flexigrid() function. Default dataType is XML. So, it don't want to understand JSON:
$("#myTable").flexigrid({dataType : "json"});

Did you use the eval()?
$("#testTable").flexAddData(eval('[formatted json here]'));
or try
$("#testTable").flexAddData(eval('[formatted json here]')).flexReload();
hope this helps

To supplement Anwar and user1635430 answers, here is an example JSON code:
{
"page": "1",
"total": "9",
"rows": [
{
"id": "1",
"cell": [
"1",
"text1",
"user1",
"date1"
]
}
]
}
The code is done by Anwar, I "stole" it from his answer on some other question.

Unable to retrieve contents of JSON post

I have a script in Sheets that is supposed to flatten a JSON post but am having some difficulty getting around the format of the incoming JSON.
Below, I have an example POST which I am trying to parse. Underneath that is my doPost function, with some of the ways I have tried getting the content. doPost uses another function to actually parse the content, but I can't seem to get around what looks like an array formatted JSON?
Here is an example of the POST object:
[
{
"id": "xyz123",
"payload": {
"reference_id": "id_6",
"unit_id": "000111222",
"origin": {
"name": "T-shirt Supply",
"city": "Jiujiang",
"state": "Jiangxi",
"country": "China",
},
"destination": {
"name": "Main Office",
"city": "Surabaya",
"state": "East Java",
"country": "Indonesia",
},
},
"status": "data_received",
"created_at": "2020-01-29T07:41:33.918Z",
"updated_at": "2020-01-29T07:41:33.918Z"
}
]
I have tried in several ways to access the contents, such as payload.reference_id, but for some reason can't find my way into the curled brackets of the JSON object. Here are some of the ways I have tried:
function doPost(e){
var data = e.postData.contents;
// returns JSON formatted [{ "id": "xyz", "payload" : {"reference" : "1", "updated" : true}}]
var data2 = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
// returns [object Object]
var data3 = data[0];
// returns [
var data4 = ContentService.createTextOutput(e.postData.contents).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
// same result as 'data'
return dataX;
}
I have also attempted various workarounds, such as parsing twice, stringify, and more. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
I think you don't need to parse e.postData.contents, probably it is already an object, not string.
Or if it is string and there is only one element, you can try this:
var data2 = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents.slice(1,-1));
I believe your goal is as follows.
You want to output the object of the 1st element in an array which is your sample value from doPost.
If my understanding is correct, how about the following modification?
Modified script:
function doPost(e){
var data2 = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(data2[0])).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}
In this modification, it supposes that e.postData.contents is your sample value. Please be careful about this.
When the above-modified script is used, the 1st element of the array is returned.
Note:
When you modified the Google Apps Script, please modify the deployment as a new version. By this, the modified script is reflected in Web Apps. Please be careful about this.

How to add object to external JSON file with a button-click?

Goodday fellow programmer,
I'm having trouble adding an object to my JSON file. I'm using jQuery.
My javascript file:
$('#addchallenge').click(function()
{
//hardcoded challenge
var addchallenge =
{
"achievementname": "I am an achievement who want to be added to the list",
"points": "50",
"comment": "guess who has been a nasty achievement to add"
}
$.getJSON("../json/package.json", function (data)
{
$.each(data.allachievements, function ()
{
//very suspicious line here:
this["achievementlist"].push(addchallenge);
});
});
});
My external JSON file:
{
"allachievements":[
{
"name": "list of all achievements",
"achievementlist": [
{
"achievementname": "first achievement",
"points": "30",
"comment": "the first achievement to achieve"
},
{
"achievementname": "second achievement",
"points": "-90",
"comment": "is worth a negative amout of points"
},
{
"achievementname": "aaand the 3th achievement",
"points": "30",
"comment": "do you already have achievement 1 and 2?"
}]
}]
}
How could the addchallenge data be added into my JSON file?
Do I need to parse my JSON data, add my challenge to add, then stringify it back?
Thanks in advance :)
You cant directly manipulate the JSON file - Writing, deleting etc.
However, you could write some backend code thats capable of this.
If you simply want to temporally add an achievement, you can parse in your JSON file into a variable and then manipulate it.
You can't modify the JSON file only with client side code. You need some server side code.
I would recommend you to use post().
EDIT:
I actually found this: How to : edit an external json file in javascript
So, current post may be considered a duplicate...
Are you trying to write into a file using jquery?
if so please check the following url:
Read/write to file using jQuery
Your problem is this, the context. Inside of the callback you are passing to $.each iterator, this is not what you think it is.
jQuery.each( array, callback )
callback
Type: Function( String propertyName, Object valueOfProperty )
The function that will be executed on every object.
I would change your code like this:
$.getJSON("../json/package.json", function (data)
{
$.each(data.allachievements, function (key, value)
{
value["achievementlist"] = value["achievementlist"] || [];
value["achievementlist"].push(addchallenge);
});
});

How to load icon for specific weather condition? (AngularJS)

I'm working on a weather app as a personal project. I have the bases of the app done where I make a HTTP get request to the Yahoo Weather API and it returns the data I want.
However I'm stuck on the next step, getting icons to load with the current conditions.
I setup a JSON file in my "models" folder and it looks like this:
[
{
"code": 32,
"icon": "img/sunny.png",
"text": "Sunny"
},
{
"code": 26,
"icon": "img/cloudy.png",
"text": "Cloudy"
}
]
And here's my request for that in my main controller (Not sure if I'm doing it right).
$http.get('models/conditions.json')
.success(function(data) {
vm.condition = data;
}).error(function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
In the view I'm using a combination of the ng-if and ng-src directives to try to load the icons. Again, I don't I'm doing it right.
<img ng-if="main.place.item.conditons.code === main.conditions.code" ng-src="{{main.conditions.icon}}">
Any ideas on how I can get this to work? Am I on the right track? Thanks for any answers!
You said the JSON is being retrieved correctly, so the problem lies in the fact that you are trying to use an array as an object with the ng-src tag. You have {{main.conditions.icon}}, assuming conditions is the JSON you retrieved, you must specify an array index, however, you probably don't want to do this because you don't have a way of knowing what index is related to what weather code.
The solution to this can come in a couple different ways. For one, if possible, you can alter the JSON data to simply be an object in the form:
{
"32": {
"icon": ...,
"text": ...
},
"26": {
"icon": ...,
"text": ...
}
}
If you are able to do this, then you can use conditions as an object and do:
<img ng-src="{{main.conditions[main.place.item.conditions.code].icon}}">
Of course, this is assuming the conditions property in the "main.place.item" object isn't also an array, if so you will have to adjust even further. Also, I am assuming you made a typo as you had conditions spelled wrong in your question with the ng-if attribute.

I have been trying to get my head around d3js with json,and I must say I have progressed quite a bit.But I am still not able to get the output with json data.

d3.js & json - simple sample code?

same fiddle with some static values( without Json)--
This is the result that I want.
I know that d3.json method requires json file to be on server.For temporary basis,as the json file is small can we include it directly in a variable in our d3 script??
I think I am messing up with json data in a wrong way.Can somebody help me with it
Yes, you can just add the JSON in a variable and run it this way. See here for the updated jsfiddle. You basically just add your JSON after var data =.

Freebase: how to query /common/document/text?

Freebase: Hi, good day for evryone. Does anybody know how to access the property /common/document/text, that you get on this freebase link?
I query it like this
[{
"id": "/m/015fk",
"type": "/common/document",
"text": null
}]
But the results I get is null
You can get it from the Text API https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/text/m/015fk but you'd probably be better off using the Topic API.
