Dynamics CRM 2016 Javascript forEach not supported

So I am trying to write javascript code for a ribbon button in Dynamics CRM 2016 that will grab a phone number from a list of Leads that can be seen in the Active Leads window.
However, when I try to run it, I get an error telling me
As I step into my code (I'm debugging), I see this error
Here is the code I am working with.
function updateSelected(SelectedControlSelectedItemIds, SelectedEntityTypeName) {
// this should iterate through the list
SelectedControlSelectedItemIds.forEach(
function (selected, index) {
//this should get the id and name of the selected lead
getPhoneNumber(selected, SelectedEntityTypeName);
});
}
//I should have the lead ID and Name here, but it is returning null
function getPhoneNumber(id, entityName) {
var query = "telephone1";
Sdk.WebApi.retrieveRecord(id, entityName, query, "",
function (result) {
var telephone1 = result.telephone1;
// I'm trying to capture the number and display it via alert.
alert(telephone1);
},
function (error) {
alert(error);
})
}
Any help is appreciated.

What you have is an javascript error. In js you can only use forEach on an array. SelectedControlSelectedItemIds is an object not an array.
To loop though an object, you can do the following.
for (var key in SelectedControlSelectedItemIds){
if(SelectedControlSelectedItemIds.hasOwnProperty(key)){
getPhoneNumber(SelectedControlSelectedItemIds[key], SelectedEntityTypeName)
}
}

Okay, so I figured it out. I had help, so I refuse to take full credit.
First, I had to download the SDK.WEBAPI.
I then had to add the webAPI to my Javascript Actions in the Ribbon Tool Bench.
Then, I had to create a function to remove the brackets around the
SelectedControlSelectedItemIds
Firstly, I had to use the API WITH the forEach method in order for it to work.
These are the revisions to my code.
function removeBraces(str) {
str = str.replace(/[{}]/g, "");
return str;
}
function updateSelected(SelectedControlSelectedItemIds, SelectedEntityTypeName) {
//alert(SelectedEntityTypeName);
SelectedControlSelectedItemIds.forEach(
function (selected, index) {
getPhoneNumber(removeBraces(selected), SelectedEntityTypeName);
// alert(selected);
});
}
function getPhoneNumber(id, entityName) {
var query = "telephone1";
SDK.WEBAPI.retrieveRecord(id, entityName, query, "",
function (result) {
var telephone1 = result.telephone1;
formatted = telephone1.replace(/[- )(]/g,'');
dialready = "1" + formatted;
withcolon = dialready.replace(/(.{1})/g,"$1:")
number = telephone1;
if (Xrm.Page.context.getUserName() == "Jerry Ryback") {
url = "http://111.222.333.444/cgi-bin/api-send_key";
} else if(Xrm.Page.context.getUserName() == "Frank Jane") {
url = "http://222.333.444.555/cgi-bin/api-send_key";
}
else if( Xrm.Page.context.getUserName() == "Bob Gilfred"){
url = "http://333.444.555.666/cgi-bin/api-send_key";
}
else if( Xrm.Page.context.getUserName() == "Cheryl Bradley"){
url = "http://444.555.666.777/cgi-bin/api-send_key";
}
else if( Xrm.Page.context.getUserName() == "Bill Dunny"){
url = "http://555.666.777.888/cgi-bin/api-send_key";
}
if (url != "") {
var params = "passcode=admin&keys=" + withcolon + "SEND";
var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
http.open("GET", url + "?" + params, true);
http.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
alert(http.responseText);
}
}
http.send(null);
}
},
function (error) {
// alert(error);
})
}
To elaborate, once I successfully get the number, I remove the parenthesis, dashes and white-space. Then, I add a "1" to the beginning. Finally, I insert colons in between each number. Then, I create an HTTP command and send it to the office phone of whoever is using CRM at the time. The user eval and HTTP message is my code. I'm showing you all of this because it was a great learning experience, and this feature really adds to the functionality.
I hope some of you find this useful.
Thanks for the help.

ComboBox typeAhead works but valueField is null under certain behavioral conditions

Requesting a sanity check here please...
ExtJS 4.2 comboBox Typeahead works but having issues retrieving the valueField under the following conditions:-
1) If a user types a value and then instead of hitting enter or clicking on the select combo list, they click elsewhere then the valueField is empty but the selected value is present.
2) Assuming that the combobox item was selected correctly, If I enter an additional character and then backspace that character, the combo box can no longer find the valueField..its almost like it has reset itself.
Fiddle example
https://fiddle.sencha.com/#fiddle/je1
How to reproduce
If you enter Maggie in the combo box, you will see the valueField ID in the console window, if you append a character and then backspace the character, the ID in the console window is null
(You will need to open the console window to see the output)
forceSelection does not resolve this issue as I have a template and it will not accept an entry in the combobox that is not part of the store, and I need to use sumID for my valueField as I need to retrieve and pass that value to the server.

Thank you everyone, awesome to have such a great community!!
I was able to get around this by using forceSelection and overriding the setValue thus allowing template items not in the store but in the combo to be selected via forceSelection. From playing around with the combobox, IMO, for a good look and feel, forceSelection is the way to go.
Here is my override, refer to statement //start of override
This was a quick fix, I will refine statement when I am back in the office, below I am pasting the solution from memory, you get the idea.
setValue: function(value, doSelect) {
var me = this,
valueNotFoundText = me.valueNotFoundText,
inputEl = me.inputEl,
i, len, record,
dataObj,
matchedRecords = [],
displayTplData = [],
processedValue = [];
if (me.store.loading) {
// Called while the Store is loading. Ensure it is processed by the onLoad method.
me.value = value;
me.setHiddenValue(me.value);
return me;
}
// This method processes multi-values, so ensure value is an array.
value = Ext.Array.from(value);
// Loop through values, matching each from the Store, and collecting matched records
for (i = 0, len = value.length; i < len; i++) {
record = value[i];
if (!record || !record.isModel) {
record = me.findRecordByValue(record);
}
// record found, select it.
if (record) {
matchedRecords.push(record);
displayTplData.push(record.data);
processedValue.push(record.get(me.valueField));
}
// record was not found, this could happen because
// store is not loaded or they set a value not in the store
else {
//start of override
// 'Select All Names' is the template item that was added // to the combo box, it looks like an entry from the store
// but it is not in the store
if (me.forceSelection && me.getDisplayValue() === 'Select All Names'){
processedValue.push(value[i]);
dataObj = {};
dataObj[me.displayField] = value[i];
displayTplData.push(dataObj);
}
//end of override
if (!me.forceSelection) {
processedValue.push(value[i]);
dataObj = {};
dataObj[me.displayField] = value[i];
displayTplData.push(dataObj);
// TODO: Add config to create new records on selection of a value that has no match in the Store
}
// Else, if valueNotFoundText is defined, display it, otherwise display nothing for this value
else if (Ext.isDefined(valueNotFoundText)) {
displayTplData.push(valueNotFoundText);
}
}
}
// Set the value of this field. If we are multiselecting, then that is an array.
me.setHiddenValue(processedValue);
me.value = me.multiSelect ? processedValue : processedValue[0];
if (!Ext.isDefined(me.value)) {
me.value = null;
}
me.displayTplData = displayTplData; //store for getDisplayValue method
me.lastSelection = me.valueModels = matchedRecords;
if (inputEl && me.emptyText && !Ext.isEmpty(value)) {
inputEl.removeCls(me.emptyCls);
}
// Calculate raw value from the collection of Model data
me.setRawValue(me.getDisplayValue());
me.checkChange();
if (doSelect !== false) {
me.syncSelection();
}
me.applyEmptyText();
return me;
},

Look at the sources of Combobox and try override this method as follows
doLocalQuery: function(queryPlan) {
var me = this,
queryString = queryPlan.query;
if (!me.queryFilter) {
me.queryFilter = new Ext.util.Filter({
id: me.id + '-query-filter',
anyMatch: me.anyMatch,
caseSensitive: me.caseSensitive,
root: 'data',
property: me.displayField
});
me.store.addFilter(me.queryFilter, false);
}
if (queryString || !queryPlan.forceAll) {
me.queryFilter.disabled = false;
me.queryFilter.setValue(me.enableRegEx ? new RegExp(queryString) : queryString);
}
else {
me.queryFilter.disabled = true;
}
me.store.filter();
if (me.store.getCount()) {
if (me.rawValue === me.lastSelection[0].get(me.displayField)){
me.setValue(me.lastSelection);
} else {
if(me.store.getCount() === 1){
me.setValue(me.store.first());
}
me.expand();
}
} else {
me.collapse();
}
me.afterQuery(queryPlan);
},

How to extract data from array in javascript

I have an object (array type) ,its console representation looks like following image . please see the image
This array is created by restangulr using following code ,
restangularProvider.addResponseInterceptor(function (data, operation, what, url, response, deferred) {
if (operation == "getList") {
var extractedData;
extractedData = data.result;
extractedData.paginginfo = data.paginginfo;
return extractedData;
}
if (operation != "get") {
var item = { status: response.status };
feedBackFactory.showFeedBack(item);
}
return response.data;
});
How can I read the elements from this array, I want to extract properties like paginginfo ,also object collection
// The EDIT :1 js libraries I used here angularjsu 1.3.4, and restangular 1.4
My app.js : here I configured rest angular provider
restangularProvider.addResponseInterceptor(function(data, operation, what, url, response, deferred) {
if (operation == "getList") {
var extractedData;
extractedData = data.result;
extractedData.paginginfo = data.paginginfo;
return extractedData;
}
if (operation != "get") {
var item = {
status: response.status
};
feedBackFactory.showFeedBack(item);
}
return response.data;
});
// according to my knowledge this function will intercept every ajax call (api calls) and modify the response , unfortunately I need to apply custom modification because the getlist method must return collection but my api returning object, so according to restangular ,the above code is the possible solution, and here its fine its fetching the data.
userservice.js : this is angular service which using restangular
function(restangular) {
var resourceBase = restangular.all("account");
this.getUsers = function(pagenumber, recordsize) {
var resultArray = resourceBase.getList({
page: pagenumber,
size: recordsize
}).$object;
};
};
according to my knowledge .$object in restangulr resolve the promise and bring back the data, also I am getting the resultArray its looks like in the image in the console, here I can log this array so I think I got all the data from server and filled in this object. I applied some array accessing techniques available jquery and JavaScript like index base accessing , associate accessing but I am getting undefined ie.
resultArray[1] //undifiend;

In angular you can use angular.forEach(items, function(item){ //your code here});
Where items is the array you want to traverse.
If you want to access to one specific position use [], for example var item= items[5].
Then you can do item.property.
UPDATE
Your problem is that you are setting properties in an Array JS Object:
extractedData.paginginfo = data.paginginfo;
You should return the object data like it is and in your controller do something like:
var results= data.result;
var pagInfo= data.paginationInfo;
angular.forEach(results,function(result){});

It looks like the array is numerically indexed (0..1..5); you should be able to simply iterate through it using ForEach (in Angular) or .each (in Jquery).
Something like (JQuery):
$.each(array, function(key, value)
{
// key would be the numerical index; value is the key:value pair of the array index's element.
console.log(value.firstname); // should print the firstname of the first element.
});

First of all, as I said in the comments, you shouldn't be attaching named properties to arrays. Return an object thact contains what you need:
if (operation == "getList") {
return { values: data.result, paging: data.pagingInfo };
}
The getList() method returns a promise, so you need to use that:
this.getUsers = function(pagenumber, recordsize) {
resourceBase.getList({
page: pagenumber,
size: recordsize
}).then(function (data) {
console.log(data.values[0]);
console.log(data.paging.totalRecords);
});
};

Searching for items in a JSON array Using Node (preferably without iteration)

Currently I get back a JSON response like this...
{items:[
{itemId:1,isRight:0},
{itemId:2,isRight:1},
{itemId:3,isRight:0}
]}
I want to perform something like this (pseudo code)
var arrayFound = obj.items.Find({isRight:1})
This would then return
[{itemId:2,isRight:1}]
I know I can do this with a for each loop, however, I am trying to avoid this. This is currently server side on a Node.JS app.

var arrayFound = obj.items.filter(function(item) {
return item.isRight == 1;
});
Of course you could also write a function to find items by an object literal as a condition:
Array.prototype.myFind = function(obj) {
return this.filter(function(item) {
for (var prop in obj)
if (!(prop in item) || obj[prop] !== item[prop])
return false;
return true;
});
};
// then use:
var arrayFound = obj.items.myFind({isRight:1});
Both functions make use of the native .filter() method on Arrays.

Since Node implements the EcmaScript 5 specification, you can use Array#filter on obj.items.

Have a look at http://underscorejs.org
This is an awesome library.
http://underscorejs.org/#filter

edited to use native method
var arrayFound = obj.items.filter(function() {
return this.isRight == 1;
});

You could try find the expected result is using the find function, you can see the result in the following script:
var jsonItems = {items:[
{itemId:1,isRight:0},
{itemId:2,isRight:1},
{itemId:3,isRight:0}
]}
var rta = jsonItems.items.find(
(it) => {
return it.isRight === 1;
}
);
console.log("RTA: " + JSON.stringify(rta));
// RTA: {"itemId":2,"isRight":1}

Actually I found an even easier way if you are using mongoDB to persist you documents...
findDocumentsByJSON = function(json, db,docType,callback) {
this.getCollection(db,docType,function(error, collection) {
if( error ) callback(error)
else {
collection.find(json).toArray(function(error, results) {
if( error ) callback(error)
else
callback(null, results)
});
}
});
}
You can then pass {isRight:1} to the method and return an array ONLY of the objects, allowing me to push the heavy lifting off to the capable mongo.

How to serialize delete data with jqGrid, multiselection, and Spring?

Currently, I have an overridden delGridRow call that looks like this (credit to Krams and his Spring tutorial):
var row = $('#grid').jqGrid('getGridParam','selrow');
$('#grid').jqGrid( 'delGridRow', row,
{ url:'deleteRequirement.html',
recreateForm: true,
beforeShowForm: function(form) {
//Change title
$(".delmsg").replaceWith('<span style="white-space: pre;">' +
'Delete selected record?' + '</span>');
//hide arrows
$('#pData').hide();
$('#nData').hide();
},
reloadAfterSubmit:true,
closeAfterDelete: true,
serializeDelData: function (postdata) {
var rowdata = $('#grid').getRowData(postdata.id);
// append postdata with any information
return {id: postdata.id, oper: postdata.oper, reqID: rowdata.reqID};
},
afterSubmit : function(response, postdata)
{
var result = eval('(' + response.responseText + ')');
var errors = "";
if (result.success == false) {
for (var i = 0; i < result.message.length; i++) {
errors += result.message[i] + "<br/>";
}
} else {
$('#msgbox').text('Entry has been deleted successfully');
$('#msgbox').dialog(
{ title: 'Success',
modal: true,
buttons: {"Ok": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
}
// only used for adding new records
var newId = null;
return [result.success, errors, newId];
}
});
else {
$('#msgbox').text('You must select a record first!');
$('#msgbox').dialog(
{ title: 'Error',
modal: true,
buttons: {"Ok": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");}
}
});
}
In order to add support for multiselection deletes, I changed the "selrow" first line to this:
var rowList = jQuery("#grid").getGridParam('selarrrow');
After this, things start getting sketchy fast. The spec says that the default delGridRow can accept an array of inputs records to delete. I made the following change to attempt to get the new 'rowList' variable to get used:
$('#grid').jqGrid( 'delGridRow', rowList, ...
I'm still hitting my deleteRequirement.html URL in my Spring controller, but only the last records appears to make it. I'm guessing the problem is in the postdata preparation in the serializeDelData section, but I haven't found the correct way to prepare this postdata with the list of records instead of the single record.
Any suggestions/insight would be appreciated.
Thanks all.

I don't use Spring myself, but some parts of your code seams be strange for me.
First of all the you can use two forms of the first parameter of delGridRow (row in your code). It can be either the comma-separated list of ids or an array of ids. If you use array of ids then jqGrid convert it to the comma-separated format by rowids = rowids.join();. As the result the format of postdata.id inside of serializeDelData can be also the comma-separated list of ids.
So if you need to support delete of multiple rows you should
modify the code of serializeDelData to send in reqID property also the list of the reqID. The corresponding code can be
serializeDelData: function (postdata) {
var ids = postdata.id.split(','), i, l = ids.length, reqIDList = [];
for (i = 0; i < l; i++) {
reqIDList.push($(this).jqGrid("getCell", ids[i], "reqID"));
}
return {id: postdata.id, oper: postdata.oper, reqID: reqIDList.join()};
}
modify your server code to support both id and reqID in comma-separated form.
Inside of afterSubmit callback you you the lines
// only used for adding new records
var newId = null;
return [result.success, errors, newId];
You can modify the lines to the following
return [result.success, errors];
because only the first two elements of the array returned by afterSubmit callback will be used.
