Progress bar in a Rails app for parser - css

I made the rails app that parses one website. I wonder, whether it is possible to show the process of the parsing in a progress bar which will be shown on a main page(to start the process you need to click the button)? I think I need to use bootstrap for view of progress bar, but how to pass the process of execution itself into view of bar?
Edit:
The parser itself is situated in the model that stores result to the database after each step i. e. if parser detects first company and its data - save, then the second company and so on. The progress bar will show result based on information from database(I don't understand how to use ajax for this) and I really want to use bootstrap progress bar, not jquery bar.
My model-parser
class PrintingHouses < ActiveRecord::Base
require 'mechanize'
agent = Mechanize.new
page = agent.get('http://www.print-index.ru/default.aspx?p=84&gr=198')
sum=0
loop do
page.search('.goodname .goodname').each do |n|
link = Mechanize::Page::Link.new(n, agent, page)
new = link.click
name = new.search('#ctl00_ctl00_BaseCentralRegion_CentralRegion_lblGoodName h1')
address = new.search('.address')
phone = new.search('.phone')
email = new.search('.email')
website = new.search('.www')
PrintingHouses.create(name: name.text.center(100), address: address.text.strip,
phone: phone.text.strip, email: email.text.strip,
website: website.text.strip)
end
num = page.search('.goodname .goodname').count
sum=sum+num
break unless link = page.link_with(:text => " ยป " )
page = link.click
end
puts sum
end
This question is marked as a duplicate but I didn't find anything that could help me so please help.

The gem Progress Job looks promising for providing progress updates on background jobs. At this time it looks like it works with DelayedJob.

How to add time widget/picker?

New appmaker user here.
I'm trying to port the work permits approval "app" I made with G Suite form+spreadsheet+GAS; users should enter the day, the start and end time of the permit.
I can see from the Forum Sample that the Date field type is a DateTime field type, so I can use it in my model.
The problem is I cannot find the time picker in the widgets, and the date box has no option to also enter the time.
Am I missing something?
Time Pickers for App Maker
I read your question and thought I'd try to role one of my own and this is what I came up with. I put all of the buttons on a pageFragment and call it with app.showDialog(app.pageFragments.timePicker2);
I only use clientside script.
function updateOutput(){
var h=app.pageFragments.TimePicker2.properties.hour||'00';
var m=app.pageFragments.TimePicker2.properties.minute||'00';
var s=app.pageFragments.TimePicker2.properties.second||'00';
var t=h + ':' + m + ':' + s;
app.pageFragments.TimePicker2.descendants.timeLBL.text=t;
return t;
}
function updateHour(v){
app.pageFragments.TimePicker2.properties.hour=v;
updateOutput();
}
function updateMinute(v){
app.pageFragments.TimePicker2.properties.minute=v;
updateOutput();
}
function updateSecond(v){
app.pageFragments.TimePicker2.properties.second=v;
updateOutput();
}
Here's what my time picker looks like:
Yes. Adding all of the buttons is a nuisance but there are a few features about AppMaker that make it more tolerable.
First you can assign the TimePicker form properties which I use as global properties. I had three hour,minute and second.
Then after you add all of the hour buttons you can grab all of them at one time by clicking each one while holding down control on a windows machine and click on the onClick event and pick custom action and type this in updateHour(widget.text); the code completion won't give you text as an option but type it any way.
I just figured out how to grab the buttons all a one time by pushing shift and selecting with the mouse
Do the same thing with the minute and second buttons using updateMinute(widget.text) and updateSecond(widget.text); This saves you a lot of time typing all of the functions into each widget control panel. Also you don't have to bother giving all of the buttons special names like I did.
But you might like to format them with the following css.
And again you can grab all of the buttons at one time and change the following setting:
That way you can style all of the buttons at one time.
My save button just copies the final string into a label on the main panel.
app.pages.Testing.descendants.timeLBL2.text=app.pageFragments.TimePicker2.descendants.timeLBL.text;
app.closeDialog();
You will probably want to do something more elegant.
Here's a demo: in preview mode. Sorry about the 24 hour clock. I always use this for my own stuff because it's so much easier and I like it. You'll probably want AM & PM. I'll probably go back and do that too.
For an AM/PM Picker I used these functions:
function updateOutputAP(){
var h=app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.properties.hour||'00';
var m=app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.properties.minute||'00';
var s=app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.properties.second||'00';
var ap=app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.properties.ap||' ';
var t=h + ':' + m + ':' + s + ' ' + ap;
app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.descendants.timeLBL.text=t;
return t;
}
function updateHourPM(v){
app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.properties.hour=v;
app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.properties.ap='PM';
updateOutputAP();
}
function updateHourAM(v){
app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.properties.hour=v;
app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.properties.ap='AM';
updateOutputAP();
}
function updateMinuteAP(v){
app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.properties.minute=v;
updateOutputAP();
}
function updateSecondAP(v){
app.pageFragments.TimePicker3.properties.second=v;
updateOutputAP();
}
And this is what my picker looks like:
Now that I know how to pick the components easily with the mouse it was a break to make this change.
Three AppMaker Time Pickers:
At this time App Maker doesn't provide out of the box Time or Date/Time picker widgets, it means that you need to implement one by yourself. There are at least two ways to accomplish this task:
App Maker way
Wait and hope when App Maker will introduce Time or Date/Time picker widget or use existing App Maker widgets to emulate Time Picker. Calendar Sample can be a good starting point:
Hack into DOM/JS
If you have no concerns about cross-browser compatibility and you are OK to get you hands dirty with DOM manipulation by javascript, creating events listeners and other cool stuff, then you can play with HTML widget and native date/time or time input, or even some third party library.
One simple option would be to simply use a textbox and set the validation in the model field.
You can update your Date object on save or just use as is depending on your application. You get the benefit of auto validation errors in the UI to guide your user and it takes only seconds to set up.

Can't figure how phone number reveal works

I am pretty new to web-scraping and recently I am trying to automatically scrap phone number for pages like this. I am not supposed to use Selenium/headless url browser libraries and I am trying to find the a way to actually request the phone number using let say a web service or any other possible solution that could give me the phone number hopefully directly without having to go through the actual button press by selenium.
I totally understand that it may not even be possible to automatically reveal the phone number in one shut as it is meant not be accessible by nosy newbie web-scraper like me; but I still like to raise the question for my information to get detailed answer from an expert point of view.
If I search the "Reveal" button DOM element, it shows some tags which I have never seen before. I have two main questions which I believe could be helpful for newbies like me.
1) Given a set of unknown tags/attribues (ie. data-q and data-reveal in the blow button), how is one able to find out which scripts in the page are actually using them?
2) I googled the button element's tag like: data-q and data-reveal the only relevant I could find was this which for some reason I don't have access two even-if I use proxy.
Any clue particularly on the first question is much appreciate it.

Reveal
Ok, according to your demand there are several steps before you finally get a solution.
1st step : open your own browser and enter your target page(https://www.gumtree.com/p/vans/2015-ford-transit-custom-2.2tdci-290-l1-h1/1190345514)
2nd step : (Assume you are using Chrome as your favorite browser) Press Ctrl+Shift+I to open the console, and then select 'Network' tag in the console.
3rd step : Press the 'Reveal' button on that page, watch the console carefully, catch the http request which is sent immediately when you press the 'Reveal' button. You can see the request contains a long string of number in Query String Parameters, actually it is a timestamp.
4th step : Also you can see there is a part named 'Request Headers' in that http request, and you should copy the values of referer , user-agent , x-gumtree-token.
5th step : Try to construct your request (I am a fan of Python, So I am going to show you my example code in Python)
import time
import requests
import json
headers = {
'referer': 'please enter the value you just copied from that specific request',
'user-agent': 'please enter the value you just copied from that specific request',
'x-gumtree-token': 'please enter the value you just copied from that specific request'
}
url = 'https://www.gumtree.com/ajax/account/seller/reveal/number/1190345514?_='
current_time = time.time()
current_time = str(current_time)
current_time = current_time.split('.')[0] + current_time.split('.')[1] + '0'
url += current_time
response = requests.get(url=url,headers=headers)
response_result = json.loads(response.content)
phone_number = response_result['data']

How To Make An Int Score on Another Page in Xcode

I am trying to make an int on another page for my game. I tried This:
"score = score + 1;"
"scoretext.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i", score];"
But every time I switch out of that view controller and come back the score is at Zero! How do you save the Number so when you come back it is not gone!
i think you should have a look at user defaults in objective C so that you can save the data for local user game even when the game is sent to background you can have track to the score or also you can store the current user state
you can have a look at this in the links below

What is the most efficient way of filling in details on a web form?

Take a standard web page with lots of text fields, drop downs etc.
What is the most efficient way in webdriver to fill out the values and then verify if the values have been entered correctly.
You only have to test that the values are entered correctly if you have some javascript validation or other magic happening at your input fields. You don't want to test that webdriver/selenium works correctly.
There are various ways, depending if you want to use webdriver or selenium. Here is a potpourri of the stuff I'm using.
Assert.assertEquals("input field must be empty", "", selenium.getValue("name=model.query"));
driver.findElement(By.name("model.query")).sendKeys("Testinput");
//here you have to wait for javascript to finish. E.g wait for a css Class or id to appear
Assert.assertEquals("Testinput", selenium.getValue("name=model.query"));
With webdriver only:
WebElement inputElement = driver.findElement(By.id("input_field_1"));
inputElement.clear();
inputElement.sendKeys("12");
//here you have to wait for javascript to finish. E.g wait for a css Class or id to appear
Assert.assertEquals("12", inputElement.getAttribute("value"));
Hopefully, the results of filling out your form are visible to the user in some manner. So you could think along these BDD-esque lines:
When I create a new movie
Then I should see my movie page
That is, your "new movie" steps would do the field entry & submit. And your "Then" would assert that the movie shows up with your entered data.
element = driver.find_element(:id, "movie_title")
element.send_keys 'The Good, the Bad, the Ugly'
# etc.
driver.find_element(:id, "submit").click
I'm just dabbling in this now, but this is what I came up with so far. It certainly seems more verbose than something like Capybara:
fill_in 'movie_title', :with => 'The Good, the Bad, the Ugly'
Hope this helps.

ASP.NET using JQuery Progress bar

I have a question about how to use JQuery progress bar to wait until long process finished.
I have a web page with a button and when the user hits this button ,some operation on server occurred. For example inserting records into DB like this:
Int32 val = Int32.Parse(Request.QueryString["PLCID"].ToString());
String _MachineName = String.Empty;
_MachineIP = String.Empty;
DBLayer.getMachineByPLCID(val, out _MachineName, out _MachineIP);
I need to show progress bar for the user and prevent him from taking any action till the process finished.
please help!
If you want only to disable the button and make redirection after the processing has finished, you can use this sample:
http://tpeczek.com/2010/07/reporting-server-side-operation.html
You just need to replace re-enabling the button with proper call to window.location.
