Set defaults for bootstrap datepicker in Meteor project - meteor

First of all, Hi everyone, this is my first post/question,
I would like to set defaults in bootstrap datepicker in my Meteor project. I'm setting these in a functions.js file that is inside the client directory.
It works fine if I'm setting them apart like this:
$.fn.datepicker.defaults.autoclose = true;
$.fn.datepicker.defaults.todayHighlight = true;
But in a matter of doing things well, I would like it this way:
$.fn.datepicker.defaults = {
autoclose: true,
todayHighlight: true
}
However it just does not work. Did I miss something or is it just not possible in Meteor?
Edit: I forgot the say that I have several datepicker in different templates. And so the idea is to have the same behavior for all of them without duplicating the same default settings.

HTML:
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="my-datepicker">
Client JS:
Template.mytemplate.rendered=function() {
$('#my-datepicker').datepicker({
autoclose: true,
todayHighlight: true
});
}
Based on the meteor example found on https://atmospherejs.com/rajit/bootstrap3-datepicker and a bit of tinkering in the sandbox http://eternicode.github.io/bootstrap-datepicker/
Hope this helps!

jQuery Datepicker displays wrong language until interection with the calendar

In a totally custom Wordpress page, written as a PHP snippet using Woody Snippets plugin, I need to use a jQuery datepicker to select a date.
I imported the necessary files correctly, and also called and set up the datepicker correctly. Yesterday, I attached the datepicker to a hidden input field, so that when I clicked on an icon, the calendar would float in place, and everything was fine, even the localization, although I hadn't taken any measures for the localization of the calendar (importing the i18n files etc)...
Today, I had to change the page's layout a bit, so I had to make the calendar show from the beginning (inline). According to the demo page, in order to put the datepicker inline, all you have to do is attach it to a div instead of an input field.
The datepicker indeed turned into an inline element, but the localization went away... The initial language is English, until I interact in any way with the calendar (go back or forth a month, or pick a date, etc). Once I do that, the localization turns into my site's language!
What's more crazy is that this situation continued even after I specifically imported and set up the localization.

onSelect: function(dateText) {
window.location.href = location.protocol + '//' + location.host + location.pathname + '?date=' + dateText;
}
}
));
});
</script>
Exactly the same code works fine right from the start in the following JSFiddle
From what I've searched so far, it most likely has to do with WP v4.6+ where localization is automatically added to jQuery, but no matter what I've tried, I haven't been able to make the inline datepicker load localized without having to interact with it in any way!
BTW, I had noticed the exact same behavior, and even had recorded a short video for the developers of ACF, thinking it had to do with their plugin, but they responded it wasn't due to their plugin, so as it was in the Admin side, I didn't bother losing time to debug it further. But this time, the page is in the public side, so it has to be fixed!
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This must have been a conflict in my site. TBH, I wasn't able to spot the conflict, but I was able to circumvent it by setting the necessary lang strings just before datepicker's initiation like so:
$(function() {
$.datepicker.regional['el'] = {
closeText: 'Κλείσιμο',
prevText: 'Προηγούμενος',
nextText: 'Επόμενος',
currentText: 'Σήμερα',
monthNames: ['Ιανουάριος', 'Φεβρουάριος', 'Μάρτιος', 'Απρίλιος', 'Μάιος', 'Ιούνιος', 'Ιούλιος', 'Αύγουστος', 'Σεπτέμβριος', 'Οκτώβριος', 'Νοέμβριος', 'Δεκέμβριος'],
monthNamesShort: ['Ιαν', 'Φεβ', 'Μαρ', 'Απρ', 'Μαι', 'Ιουν', 'Ιουλ', 'Αυγ', 'Σεπ', 'Οκτ', 'Νοε', 'Δεκ'],
dayNames: ['Κυριακή', 'Δευτέρα', 'Τρίτη', 'Τετάρτη', 'Πέμπτη', 'Παρασκευή', 'Σάββατο'],
dayNamesShort: ['Κυρ', 'Δευ', 'Τρι', 'Τετ', 'Πεμ', 'Παρ', 'Σαβ'],
dayNamesMin: ['Κ', 'Δ', 'Τ', 'Τ', 'Π', 'Π', 'Σ'],
weekHeader: 'Εβδ',
dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
firstDay: 1,
isRTL: false,
showMonthAfterYear: false,
yearSuffix: ''
};
$.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['el']);
$('#frontpages-date-filter').datepicker();
});

Make flatpickr input required

I'm using the amazing flatpickr on a project and need the calendar date to be mandatory.
I'm trying to have all the validation in native HTML, so I was naively trying with just adding the required attribute to the input tag, but that doesn't appear to be working.
Is there a way of natively making a date mandatory with flatpickr or do I need to write some custom checks?
You can easily achieve this by:
Passing allowInput:true in flatpickr config.
As example:
flatpickrConfig = {
allowInput: true, // prevent "readonly" prop
};
From the documentation:
Allows the user to enter a date directly into the input field. By
default, direct entry is disabled.
The downside of this solution is that you should enable the direct entry (but ideally form validation should occur whether or not direct entry is enabled).
But if you don't want to enable the direct entry to solve this problem, you can use the code below as a workaround:
flatpickrConfig = {
allowInput:true,
onOpen: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) {
$(instance.altInput).prop('readonly', true);
},
onClose: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) {
$(instance.altInput).prop('readonly', false);
$(instance.altInput).blur();
}
};
This code remove the readonly property when it is not in focus so that html validation can occur and add back the readonly prop when it is in focus to prevent manual input. More details about it here.
This is what I came up with to make as complete of a solution as possible. It prevents form submission (when no date selected and input is required), ensures browser native "field required" message pops up and prevents the user typing in the value directly.
flatpickrConfig = {
allowInput: true, // prevent "readonly" prop
onReady: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) {
let el = instance.element;
function preventInput(event) {
event.preventDefault();
return false;
};
el.onkeypress = el.onkeydown = el.onkeyup = preventInput; // disable key events
el.onpaste = preventInput; // disable pasting using mouse context menu
el.style.caretColor = 'transparent'; // hide blinking cursor
el.style.cursor = 'pointer'; // override cursor hover type text
el.style.color = '#585858'; // prevent text color change on focus
el.style.backgroundColor = '#f7f7f7'; // prevent bg color change on focus
},
};
There is one disadvantage to this: Keyboard shortcuts are disabled when the flatpickr is open (when the input has focus). This includes F5, Ctrl + r, Ctrl + v, etc. but excludes Ctrl + w in Chromium 88 on Linux for some reason. I developed this using a rather old flatpickr version 3.1.5, but I think it should work on more recent ones too.
In case you want to use altFormat (display one date format to user, send other date format to server), which also implies setting altInput: true, you have to also change the onReady function to use instance.altInput instead of instance.element.
The onReady event listener can probably be attached to the instance after initializing it. However, my intention of using flatpickr with vue-flatpickr-component where you cannot elegantly access the individual flatpickr instances, made me use the config field instead.
I haven't tested it on mobile devices.
After digging a bit into the GitHub repo, I found a closed issue that points out that the issue will not be addressed.
In the same Issue page there is a workaround that seems to do the trick:
$('.flatpickr-input:visible').on('focus', function () {
$(this).blur()
})
$('.flatpickr-input:visible').prop('readonly', false)
copy attr name from prior input type hidden to rendered flatpickr input
just do this
$('[name=date_open]').next('input').attr("name","date_open");
$('[name=date_close]').next('input').attr("name","date_close");
Have been working on this for a couple of days now, finally getting the result I was after.
NOTE: I am using flatpickr with jQuery validation
As you would know flatpickr uses an alternative field for the date input, the actual field where the date is stored is hidden, and this is the key.
jQuery validation has a set of defaults, and by default hidden fields are not subject to validation, which normally makes perfect sense. So we just have to turn on the validation of hidden fields to make this work.
$.validator.setDefaults({
ignore: []
});
So my validator rules are then fairly normal:
var valid = {
rules: { dateyearlevel: {required: true} },
messages: { dateyearlevel: {required: "The date is required"} }
};
$("#myform").validate(valid);
That should allow you to ensure the date is required.
In my situation I wanted my date to only be required is a checkbox was checked. To do this we changed the rule above:
var valid = {
rules: { dateyearlevel: {
required: function() { return $("#mycheckbox").is(":checked") }
} },
messages: { dateyearlevel: {required: "The date is required"} }
};
$("#myform").validate(valid);
In case this helps someone, I'm using parsley.js for frontend validation and it works good with flatpickr
enter image description here
Just to expand a bit more on this, I found the ignore value set as an empty array did the trick for me also. You can just add this to your validate call back. Also displaying was a bit of an issue so I updated the errorPlacement to allow for flatpickr inputs like so.
$('#my-form').validate({
errorPlacement: function (error, element) {
if (element.hasClass('js-flatpickr') && element.next('.js-flatpickr').length) {
error.insertAfter(element.next('.js-flatpickr'));
} else if (element.parent('.input-group').length) {
error.insertAfter(element.parent());
} else {
error.insertAfter(element);
}
},
ignore: [],
rules: {
'startdate': { required: true }
},
messages: {
'startdate': {required: "Start Date is required"}
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
// ajax form post
}
});
in my case vue ( dunno why ) , i would like to comment for comment by #mik13ST
fyi: the default allowInput i think is true, no need to define, i didnt set the properties and my flat-pickr also work on testing.
i use
// this work in flat-pickr || #code_01
<small class="text-danger">
{{ validationContext.errors[0] }}
</small>
instead of
// work for all element except <flat-pickr #code_02 , dunno why not work
<b-form-invalid-feedback>
{{ validationContext.errors[0] }}
</b-form-invalid-feedback>
full code
<validation-provider
#default="validationContext"
name="Waktu Selesai Berkegiatan *"
vid="Waktu Selesai Berkegiatan *"
rules="required"
>
<flat-pickr
id="Waktu Selesai Berkegiatan *"
v-model="item.pip_time_end_rl"
placeholder="Waktu Selesai Berkegiatan *"
class="form-control"
static="true"
:config="dpconfig"
:state="getValidationState(validationContext)"
/>
// put here the message of error ( required ) #code_01 instead of #code_02
</validation-provider>
if younot use composite,
just use
#default="{ errors }" // in validation provider
:state="errors.length > 0 ? false : null" // in element for example flat-pickr
{{ errors[0] }} // to print out the message

Rendering code in Firepad using CodeMirror

I'm using FirePad to create an IDE of sorts for myself. What I'm trying to do is use the userlist.html in examples/ to render JS code. This is done in examples/code.html, and I've changed:
var codeMirror = CodeMirror(document.getElementById('firepad'), { lineWrapping: true });
to
var codeMirror = CodeMirror(document.getElementById('firepad'), {
lineNumbers: true,
mode: 'javascript'
});
It does display the line numbers, but it does not highlight the JS.
To clarify, I'm making these changes in examples/userlist.html
You'll need to include the javascript mode file as well:
<script src="codemirror/mode/javascript/javascript.js"></script>

Run JS after rendering a meteor template

I have a template that looks something like this:
<template name="foo">
<textarea name="text">{{contents}}</textarea>
</template>
I render it with:
Template.foo = function() {
return Foos.find();
}
And I have some event handlers:
Template.foo.events = {
'blur textarea': blurHandler
}
What I want to do is set the rows attribute of the textarea depending on the size of its contents. I realize that I could write a Handlebars helper, but it wouldn't have access to the DOM element being rendered, which would force me to do some unnecessary duplication. What I want, ideally, is for meteor to trigger an event after an element is rendered. Something like:
Template.foo.events = {
'render textarea': sizeTextarea
}
Is this possible?
As of Meteor 0.4.0 it is possible to check if a template has finished rendering, see http://docs.meteor.com/#template_rendered
If I understand your question correctly, you should wrap your textarea resize code inside a Template.foo.onRendered function:
Template.foo.onRendered(function () {
this.attach_textarea();
})
I think the current 'best' way to do this (it's a bit of a hack) is to use Meteor.defer ala Callback after the DOM was updated in Meteor.js.
Geoff is one of the meteor devs, so his word is gospel :)
So in your case, you could do something like:
<textarea id="{{attach_textarea}}">....</textarea>
and
Template.foo.attach_textarea = function() {
if (!this.uuid) this.uuid = Meteor.uuid();
Meteor.defer(function() {
$('#' + this.uuid).whatever();
});
return this.uuid;
}
EDIT
Note, that as 0.4.0, you can do this in a much ad-hoc way (as pointed out by Sander):
Template.foo.rendered = function() {
$(this.find('textarea')).whatever();
}
Since about June 2014, the correct way to do this has been to set a callback using Template.myTemplate.onRendered() .
Yeah I think so - not sure if it's "the right way", but this works for me:
In your app JS, the client section will run whatever javascript there on the client. For example:
if (Meteor.is_client) {
$(function() {
$('textarea').attr('rows' , 12) // or whatever you need to do
})
...
Note the example here uses JQuery, in which case you need to provide this to the client (I think :-). In my case:
I created a /client dir, and added jquery.js file under this.
Hope this helps.

Sencha Touch 2 button click not working after deployment

I have a sencha touch 2 app which is working flawlessly without deployment. However, when I deploy to either testing, production or native, I have several buttons inside a navigation view with tap events which won't work anymore. No errors are shown. I cannot understand why this is happening only after deployment.
Here is the relevant code:
Controller:
control: {
'#main-function': {
tap: 'loadFunction'
},
loadMyBoat: function() {
this.getProducts().up().push({
xtype: 'myxtype',
})
Ext.getStore('Items').getProxy().setUrl('myurl');
Ext.getStore('Items').load();
},
View:
Ext.define('MyBoat.view.ItemList', {
extend: 'Ext.navigation.View',
xtype: 'myxtype',
config: {
title: 'My Title',
styleHtmlContent: true,
defaultBackButtonText: 'Items List',
items: {
xtype: 'list',
itemTpl: '{Field_Name}',
title: 'Tap on a boat to access further details',
store: 'Boats'
}
}
})
Anyone ever encountered this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Open up your DOM editor (in chrome, F12 I believe). Your control selector is selecting #main-function, so you'll want to make sure this is a valid selector.
On the console of your developer tools window, type:
Ext.ComponentQuery.query('#main-function')
This should be what the controller is trying.
After lots of debugging I managed to fix the problem. Turns out that using the following code to generate any component will not work well after deployment:
new Ext.button({.....})
Instead you have to use xtypes rather than the new keyword. I think this has something to do with the fact that the deployer stores all the js code in one file and thus since I was using the new keyword, it was being created somewhere in the js file when it actually won't exist in the context. The weird thing is that it does not show any errors so hopefully this will help other folks.
