Multiple 'foreach' loops in one knockout JS - asp.net

I'll start by saying that I am working within the context of DotNetNuke7, which is essentially ASP.net based framework, and that i am fairly new to KO.
I am trying to have one ko viewmodel and have two foreach loops in it. Each loop renders an array which is part of the view model definition like so:
//We build two arrays: one for the users that are in the group
//and one for the users that are not in the group
var nonGroupMembers = $.map(initialData.NonGroupUsers, function (item) { return new Member(item); });
var groupMembers = $.map(initialData.GroupUsers, function (item) { return new Member(item); });
//The members we start with before we added new members
self.SearchTerm = ko.observable('');
self.CircleMembers = ko.observableArray(groupMembers);
self.NonCircleMembers = ko.observableArray(nonGroupMembers);
In the html context (or the asp user control) i placed the following code
<div id="socialDirectory" class="dnnForm dnnMemberDirectory">
<ul id="mdMemberList" class="mdMemberList dnnClear" style="display:none"
data-bind="foreach: { data: NonCircleMembers, afterRender: handleAfterRender },
css: { mdMemberListVisible : Visible }, visible: HasMembers()">
<li class="memberItem">
<div data-bind="visible: $parent.isEven($data)">
<%=MemberItemTemplate %>
</div>
<div data-bind="visible: !$parent.isEven($data)">
<%=MemberAlternateItemTemplate %>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="circleDirectory" id="circleDirectory" >
<ul id="cdMembersList" data-bind =" foreach: {data: CircleMembers, afterRender: handleAfterRender}">
<li class="memberItem">
<div class="mdMemberDetails">
<a href="" class="mdMemberImg" data-bind="attr: { title: DisplayName, href: ProfileUrl }">
<span><img data-bind="attr: { src: getProfilePicture(50,50), title: DisplayName }" /></span>
</a>
<ul class="MdMemberInfo">
<li class="mdDisplayName" >
<a href="" title="" class="mdMemberTitle"
data-bind="attr: { title: DisplayName, href: ProfileUrl },
event: { mouseover: $parent.showPopUp }">
<span data-bind="text: DisplayName"></span>
</a>
</li>
<li class="mdTitle"><p><span data-bind="text: Title"></span></p></li>
<li class="mdLocation"><p><span data-bind="text: Location()"></span></p></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Each one of the DIVs which contain the foreach binding loop in them works perfectly well without the other. For instance, the bottom div (id= cdMembersList) will work fine but when I add the upper div with the binding markups it will stop working. The same thing happens vise verse.
Does anybody have a clue why it might happen? Can i not have 2 loops in one view model?
looking forward to solving this mystery.
thanks,
David

Ok, I hate to say it but the answer is very simple as always. I didn't add to my view model the Visible property for
css: { mdMemberListVisible : Visible }
When I created a new script file I simply skipped this property. A few lessons:
You can run more than one loop in one view model.
Always check that you have all the properties defined in the view model.
Also, apparently it helps creating a question on this board since it makes you think clearly about the problem and revisit your actions. I had spent 2 hours chasing this problem before i posted my question, and then it took me 15 minutes to solve it after I posted it.

How to add class on click event in Aurelia?

I'm new to aurelia. I'm looking to find the best method for adding classes on click events.
I simply want to click approve or request information, and then add a class to the corresponding "contact card". This class would change the background color.
I know it's probably simple, but I thought I'd look here for the best method.
Here's an image to what I've got:
Apologies for the wait, work has been a bit busy.
This is my first time posting on S.O., so I apologize for any expectations I'm not meeting.
<div class="col-sm-4">
<button class="btn btn-success col-sm-12" click.delegate="goodBoi()">
approve contact
</button>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<button class="btn btn col-sm-12" click.delegate="requestContact()">
request information
</button>
</div>
</div>
the element to be changed is named "list-group-item", containing the
contact's details(code shown above).
<template>
<div class="contact-list">
<ul class="list-group">
<li repeat.for="contact of contacts" class="list-group-item ${contact.id === $parent.selectedId ? 'active' : ''}">
<a route-href="route: contacts; params.bind: {id:contact.id}" click.delegate="$parent.select(contact)">
<h4>${contact.firstName} ${contact.lastName}</h4>
<p>${contact.company}</p>
<p>${contact.email}</p>
<h6>${contact.approval}</h6>
</a>
<a route-href="route: contacts; params.bind: {id:contact.id}">
<p>${contact.phoneNumber}</p>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
goodBoi() {
let result = confirm("Are you sure you want to confirm this contact?");
if (result === true) {
var standingShell = document.getElementsByClassName("list-group-item");
//im hoping here I would add a class to the new variable//
this.contact.approval = 'approved';
this.save();
}
}
//confirms contact, changing color of approved contact//
//same thing here, just plan to give it a different color//
requestContact() {
let contactRequestText = "request sent to contact";
this.routeConfig.navModel.setTitle(this.contact.approval = contactRequestText);
this.ea.publish(new ContactUpdated(this.contact));
}
There are many ways to set a CSS-class using Aurelia. Following I prepared an example gist:
Template:
<template>
<h1>${message}</h1>
<div class="form-group ${clicked ? 'red' : 'blue'}" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button click.delegate="save()">
Click me
</button>
</div>
</template>
And the code class:
#autoinject
export class App {
#bindable clicked = false;
save(){
this.clicked = true;
}
}
https://gist.run/?id=425993b04a977466fa685758389aa2b4
But there are other, cleaner ways:
using ref in a custom element.
custom attributes.
Include jQuery for using e.g. $('#myelement').addClass()

Updating parent of recursive component in Vue

I've made a menu showing systems and their subsystems (can in theory be indefinitely) using a recursive component. A user can both add and delete systems, and the menu should therefore update accordingly.
The menu is constructed using a "tree"-object. This tree is therefore updated when a new system is added, or one deleted. But, I now have a problem; even though the new child component is added when the tree is rerendered, the classes of it's parent-component doesn't update. It is necessary to update this because it defines the menu-element to having children/subsystems, and therefore showing them.
Therefore, when adding a new subsystem, this is presented to the user:
<div class="">
<a href="#/Admin/364" class="item">
<i class=""></i>Testname
<div class=""></div>
</a>
</div>
Instead of this:
<div class="menu transition visible" style="display: block !important;">
<a href="#/Admin/364" class="item">
<i class=""></i>Testname
<div class=""></div>
</a>
</div>
It works fine adding a subsystem to a system which already have subsystems (since the menu-class is already present), but not when a subsystem is added to one without subsystems. In that case, the menu ends up looking like this:
The "opposite" problem also occurs on deletion, since the parent still has the menu-class:
Here's the code for the recursive component:
<template>
<router-link :to="{ name: 'Admin', params: { systemId: id } }" class="item" >
<i :class="{ dropdown: hasChildren, icon: hasChildren }"></i>{{name}}
<div :class="{ menu: hasChildren }">
<systems-menu-sub-menu v-for="child in children" :children="child.children" :name="child.name" :id="child.id" :key="child.id"/>
</div>
</router-link>
</template>
<script type = "text/javascript" >
export default {
props: ['name', 'children', 'id'],
name: 'SystemsMenuSubMenu',
data () {
return {
hasChildren: (this.children.length > 0)
}
}
}
</script>
I'm guessing this has to do with Vue trying to be efficient, and therefore not rerendering everything. Is there therefore any way to force a rerender, or is there any other workaround?

AngularJS and CSS: how to display only X number of items per row [duplicate]

I find the AngularJS tutorials hard to understand; this one is walking me through building an app that displays phones. I’m on step 5 and I thought as an experiment I’d try to allow users to specify how many they’d like to be shown. The view looks like this:
<body ng-controller="PhoneListCtrl">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span2">
<!--Sidebar content-->
Search: <input ng-model="query">
How Many: <input ng-model="quantity">
Sort by:
<select ng-model="orderProp">
<option value="name">Alphabetical</option>
<option value="age">Newest</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="span10">
<!--Body content-->
<ul class="phones">
<li ng-repeat="phone in phones | filter:query | orderBy:orderProp">
{{phone.name}}
<p>{{phone.snippet}}</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
I’ve added this line where users can enter how many results they want shown:
How Many: <input ng-model="quantity">
Here’s my controller:
function PhoneListCtrl($scope, $http) {
$http.get('phones/phones.json').success(function(data) {
$scope.phones = data.splice(0, 'quantity');
});
$scope.orderProp = 'age';
$scope.quantity = 5;
}
The important line is:
$scope.phones = data.splice(0, 'quantity');
I can hard-code in a number to represent how many phones should be shown. If I put 5 in, 5 will be shown. All I want to do is read the number in that input from the view, and put that in the data.splice line. I’ve tried with and without quotes, and neither work. How do I do this?
Slightly more "Angular way" would be to use the straightforward limitTo filter, as natively provided by Angular:
<ul class="phones">
<li ng-repeat="phone in phones | filter:query | orderBy:orderProp | limitTo:quantity">
{{phone.name}}
<p>{{phone.snippet}}</p>
</li>
</ul>
app.controller('PhoneListCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
$http.get('phones.json').then(
function(phones){
$scope.phones = phones.data;
}
);
$scope.orderProp = 'age';
$scope.quantity = 5;
}
);
PLUNKER
A little late to the party, but this worked for me. Hopefully someone else finds it useful.
<div ng-repeat="video in videos" ng-if="$index < 3">
...
</div>
here is anaother way to limit your filter on html, for example I want to display 3 list at time than i will use limitTo:3
<li ng-repeat="phone in phones | limitTo:3">
<p>Phone Name: {{phone.name}}</p>
</li>
store all your data initially
function PhoneListCtrl($scope, $http) {
$http.get('phones/phones.json').success(function(data) {
$scope.phones = data.splice(0, 5);
$scope.allPhones = data;
});
$scope.orderProp = 'age';
$scope.howMany = 5;
//then here watch the howMany variable on the scope and update the phones array accordingly
$scope.$watch("howMany", function(newValue, oldValue){
$scope.phones = $scope.allPhones.splice(0,newValue)
});
}
EDIT had accidentally put the watch outside the controller it should have been inside.
This works better in my case if you have object or multi-dimensional array. It will shows only first items, other will be just ignored in loop.
.filter('limitItems', function () {
return function (items) {
var result = {}, i = 1;
angular.forEach(items, function(value, key) {
if (i < 5) {
result[key] = value;
}
i = i + 1;
});
return result;
};
});
Change 5 on what you want.
Use limitTo filter to display a limited number of results in ng-repeat.
<ul class="phones">
<li ng-repeat="phone in phones | limitTo:5">
{{phone.name}}
<p>{{phone.snippet}}</p>
</li>
</ul>
Another (and I think better) way to achieve this is to actually intercept the data. limitTo is okay but what if you're limiting to 10 when your array actually contains thousands?
When calling my service I simply did this:
TaskService.getTasks(function(data){
$scope.tasks = data.slice(0,10);
});
This limits what is sent to the view, so should be much better for performance than doing this on the front-end.

Why does my click event not fire when I add each blocks into my template to iterate through a collection (Meteor)

The event fires only when I remove the each blocks. What the event does is apply a vertical accordion slide down transition on an element. What I want to do is add the same slide down transition to all my documents when they are displayed in my views.
Right now, when I add an each block to iterate through my collection and display all the documents from my collection, the slide down event stops working.
Here's my template:
<template name="auctionsList">
<div class="container">
<div id='cssmenu'>
<ul>
{{#each auctions}}
{{>auction}}
{{/each}}
</ul>
</div> <!-- end cssmenu -->
</div><!-- end container -->
{{#if isReady}}
{{#if hasMoreauctions}}
<a class="load-more btn btn-default center-block text-uppercase" id="loadMore" href="#" style="margin-top:10px;">Load More</a>
{{/if}}
{{else}}
<div class="loading">{{>spinner}}</div>
{{/if}}
</template>
<template name="auction">
<li class='has-sub'>
<a href='#'>
<div class="auction-image">
<img src="brand_logos/DominosPizza.png" class="img-responsive" height="200" width="200">
</div>
{{> durationLeft}}
</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='#'>
<span>Sub Product</span></a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</template>
Here's my rendered/helper
Template.auctionsList.rendered = function () {
$('#cssmenu li.has-sub>a').on('click', function(){
$(this).removeAttr('href');
var element = $(this).parent('li');
if (element.hasClass('open')) {
element.removeClass('open');
element.find('li').removeClass('open');
element.find('ul').slideUp();
}
else {
element.addClass('open');
element.children('ul').slideDown();
element.siblings('li').children('ul').slideUp();
element.siblings('li').removeClass('open');
element.siblings('li').find('li').removeClass('open');
element.siblings('li').find('ul').slideUp();
}
});
}
Template.auctionsList.helpers({
auctions: function () {
return Template.instance().userauctions();
}
});
Template.auctionsList.events({
'click #cssmenu li.has-sub>a' : function(event, template) {
$(this).removeAttr('href');
var element = $(this).parent('li');
if (element.hasClass('open')) {
element.removeClass('open');
element.find('li').removeClass('open');
element.find('ul').slideUp();
}
else {
element.addClass('open');
element.children('ul').slideDown();
element.siblings('li').children('ul').slideUp();
element.siblings('li').removeClass('open');
element.siblings('li').find('li').removeClass('open');
element.siblings('li').find('ul').slideUp();
}
}
});
You should move this from rendered to events. $('#cssmenu li.has-sub>a').on('click', function(){ }
Put the event within the auction template where your <li> tag exists.
Updated
Couple of things based on the gists you published:
1) you should try not use script tags directly in the template - i havent seen this often if at all. Move all this code to
Template.accordion.rendered = function(){ //here };
or better make it work in auctionsList because then its not duplicated x times for every each iteration.
But what would be even better is not to have the 'on' event at all. You should use a meteor event... like you mentioned in your earlier post. Meteor events have access to 'this' which is the current context item.
I would try put it in a template event on the master auctionsList template and later on worry about how it will work with the sub templates.
2) I dont think you need to add everything into another template like you have, the accordion template doesnt really need to exist, you can probably get away with putting it in the auction template (consider using even auctions to do the click event because if you do it that way your js snippet wont be repeated x times per post listing.You only need this once..
3) When you create the li in the auction template give it an ID at that point
<li id={{new accordion code in auction template}}>
You can then reference this id on your template click event. If you are new to meteor do yourself a favor and do the following in a click event to better understand what is going on (you will most likely find the ID you need within one of the values - most likely this:
Template.YourTemplate.events({
'click any button in your each': function(event,bl,value)
{
console.log(event);
console.log(bl);
console.log(value);
//and most importantly
console.log(this);
}
});
I know its not "an answer" but i hope it leads you in the right direction.

Knockout.js and large dataset makes dropdown list slow also

Does anyone know why the performance on this page is slow when it comes to the dropdown list on the - ALL - option? I must be doing something wrong with knockout.js for this to happen. For the smaller list of games it opens up quickly.
Tournament Schedule
Javascript
(function (app, $, undefined) {
app.viewModel = app.viewModel || {};
function Schedule() {
var self = this;
self.loaded = ko.observable(false);
self.divisionId = ko.observable();
self.games = ko.observableArray(null);
self.search = function(url) {
app.call({
type: 'POST',
data: { divisionId: self.divisionId() },
url: url,
success: function (result) {
self.games([]);
self.games.push.apply(self.games, result);
self.loaded(true);
}
});
};
self.init = function (options) {
app.applyBindings();
};

app.viewModel.schedule = new Schedule();
} (window.app = window.app || {}, jQuery));

I downloaded your HTML and CSS and did some testing. I was able to fix the problem by removing the following CSS:
.ui-widget :active {
outline: none
}
To test this on the current page, execute document.styleSheets[0].deleteRule(23) in the console.
Some more testing showed that the drop-down is only slow in Chrome (30). Firefox (23) and IE (10) don't have the problem.
You may suffer from performance problems when manipulating large or rich (containing complex objects) observable arrays. Any time you perform any operation on such array, all the subscribers get notified.
Imagine you are inserting 100 items into an observable array. More often than not, you don’t need each subscriber to recalculate it’s dependencies 100 items, and UI to be reacting 100 times. Instead, once should just fine.
To do this, you can always modify the underlying array instead of the observableArray directly, since observableArray concept is just a function wrapper around the traditional JS array. After you are done with the array manipulation, you can then notify all the subscribers that the array has changed its state with .valueHasMutaded()
. See the simple example:
success: function (result) {
ko.utils.arrayPushAll(self.games, result);
self.games.valueHasMutated();
....
cheers
There are too many dom element at the page, it will be hard to select element for jquery.
If you need to handle big data bound after ajax, you'd better add a new thread to do it. in ajax success function:
setTimeout(function(){
// your code
}, 100);
for No.1, why not add a pager? Long long scroll bar is very terrible.
