KnockoutJs mapping JSON to viewmodel - asp.net

I'm having problem with binding JSON from ASP.net webform webapi to the viewmodel with KnockoutJs. There is no problem with wepapi and mapping to mappedQuickEntries.
Where did I get it wrong? Thanks.
Error:
Error: Unable to parse bindings.
Message: ReferenceError: ItemPartNumb is not defined;
Bindings value: value: ItemPartNumb
View:
<div>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody data-bind="foreach: quickEntries">
<tr>
<td data-bind="value: ItemPartNumb"></td>
<td data-bind="value: ItemDescription"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
ViewModel:
<script type="text/javascript">
var QuickEntry = function(_itemPartNumb, _itemDescription) {
this.ItemPartNumber = ko.observable(_itemPartNumb);
this.ItemDescription = ko.observable(_itemDescription);
};
function QuickEntriesViewModel () {
var self = this;
self.quickEntries = ko.observableArray([]);
$.ajax({
url: '/DesktopModules/Blah/API/Data/GetTenQuickEntries',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
var mappedQuickEntries = $.map(data, function (item) {
return new QuickEntry(item.ItemPartNumb, item.ItemDescription);
});
self.quickEntries(mappedQuickEntries);
},
statusCode: {
404: function () {
alert('Failed');
}
}
});
};
ko.applyBindings(new QuickEntriesViewModel());

ItemPartNumb vs ItemPartNumber
And you are using the value-binding instead of the text-binding.

knockout javascript object issue

I am stuck at the approach for binding javascript objects to knockout observable arrays.I am using asp.net .I am lost at assigning the response data from ajax call to the javascript object.
My aspx page
<table id="gvActivityForm" class="test">
<th class="thdata">
TestSample
</th>
<tbody data-bind="foreach: arraytoadd">
<tr>
<td data-bind="text: testid"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
var TemplateFunction = function()
{
var self = this;
self.testid= ko.observable(0);
} //end
RealFunction = function ()
{
var self = this;
self.arraytoadd = ko.observableArray([]); //Adding an array
self.addevent = function()
{
self.arraytoadd.push(new TemplateFunction());
}
} //end of javascript object
objRealFunction = new realFunction();
ko.applyBindings(objRealFunction);
I am getting the data through ajax call .
$.ajax({ //start ajax call for posting and getting the data back
type: 'POST',
url: 'PopupWebService.asmx/ReceiveandSendJobActivity',
data: JSON.stringify({item:obj}),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
for(var i=0;i<response.d.length;i++)
{
TemplateFunction.testid= response.d[i].TestId; //My question is how do I assign the data .I am lost here
}
script>
You haven't instantiated any instances of your 'TemplateFunction'
When your data comes back from your ajax call - do something like this using your objRealFunction object:
success: function (response) {
for(var i=0;i<response.d.length;i++)
{
var templateFunction = new templateFunction();
templateFunction.testId(response.d[i].testId);
objRealFunction.arraytoadd.push(templateFunction)
}
}
You'll also need to update your view as at the moment it's expecting a property called testId on each member of the observableArray.
You will need to change your html binding to
foreach: arrayToAdd().templateFunction
as you have defined your testId property as a ko.observable() on the templateFunction object
knockout observables are treated as functions so in order for you to set the value of an observable you cannot user regular assignment operator syntax but rather pass the new value as a parameter to the knockout observable function:
TemplateFunction.testid(response.d[i].TestId);

Knockoutjs not binding to element

I am kind of new to KnockoutJS and trying to use it.
I am having trouble binding the element using knockoutjs. Please see the fiddle below and help in resolving and correcting me.
It is basically not binding the value to the span element.
http://jsfiddle.net/EpyRA/
HTML:
<div id="taxyear">
<table style="width: 100%;" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4">
<tr>
<td style="width: 25%">
<span>Name:</span><span data-bind="value: ReturnData.Name"></span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Javascript:
var myWeb = myWeb || {};
$(function () {
(function (myWeb) {
"use strict";
var serviceBase = '../Services/Data.asmx/',
getSvcUrl = function (method) { return serviceBase + method; };
myWeb.ajaxService = (function () {
var ajaxGetJson = function (method, jsonIn, callback) {
$.ajax({
url: getSvcUrl(method),
type: "GET",
data: jsonIn,
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json",
success: function (json) {
callback(json);
}
});
},
ajaxPostJson = function (method, jsonIn, callback) {
var test = { "Name": "testRaju", "SourceID": "ABCD" };
//just return data instead of calling for testing
callback(test);
};
return {
ajaxGetJson: ajaxGetJson,
ajaxPostJson: ajaxPostJson
};
})();
} (myWeb));
(function (myWeb) {
"use strict";
myWeb.DataService = {
getReturnData: function (jsonIn, callback) {
myWeb.ajaxService.ajaxPostJson("GetReturnData", jsonIn, callback);
}
};
} (myWeb));
//Constructor for a ReturnData object
myWeb.ReturnData = function () {
this.Name = ko.observable();
this.SourceID = ko.observable();
},
//View Model
myWeb.prdviewmodel = (function () {
var prd = ko.observable();
loadReturnDataCallback = function (jsonReturnData) {
alert(jsonReturnData.Name);
prd = new myWeb.ReturnData()
.Name(jsonReturnData.Name)
.SourceID(jsonReturnData.SourceID);
},
loadReturnData = function () {
myWeb.DataService.getReturnData("{'YearID':'" + 22 + "'}", myWeb.prdviewmodel.loadReturnDataCallback);
};
//public
return {
loadReturnData: loadReturnData,
loadReturnDataCallback: loadReturnDataCallback,
ReturnData: prd
}
})();
//hookup knockout to our viewmodel
myWeb.prdviewmodel.loadReturnData();
ko.applyBindings(myWeb.prdviewmodel);
});
Thanks in Advance,
Sam
I see a couple of minor issues:
When binding against a span, you would want to use the text binding rather than the value binding.
In the AJAX callback, you would want to set the prd observable's value by calling it as a function, rather than setting it as a new value.
In the UI, you can make use of the with binding to ensure that it does not try to bind to a property of the observable, before it has been loaded.
Here is an updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/rniemeyer/Bdz5a/

Updated
Here is screen shot of my page . when i click on update ajax success function is called, but no change in above table field .
Why do you have to update the item back to the list? You're not doing anything to the properties of the object on the server side are you?
Your edit method should look something like this:
self.edit = function(item) {
self.Product(item);
};
and remove the following code nemesv said.
self.Products.removeAll();
self.Products(data.d); //Put the response in ObservableArray
My first post so be gentle ;)
Response to comment:
change your success to:
success: function (data) {
var product = ko.utils.arrayFirst(self.Products(), function(item) {
return (item.Id == data.d.Id);
}); // You could either update the product object with the new values from data.d or delete it and add a new product object.
for (var p in product ) {
product [p] = data.d[p];
}
self.Product(null);
alert("Record Updated Successfully");
},
Found a bug, it was replacing the observables with native values.
for (var p in product ) {
product [p](data.d[p]);
}
I took the liberty of simplifying the code and removing everything that hasn't anything to do with the update function. The following code example should work. ( I used knockout 2.3.0 and jQuery 1.9.1)
<script type="text/javascript">
function Product(id, name, price, category) {
var self = this;
self.Id = ko.observable(id);
self.Name = ko.observable(name);
self.Price = ko.observable(price);
self.Category = ko.observable(category);
}
function ProductViewModel() {
var self = this;
self.Product = ko.observable();
self.Products = ko.observableArray(); // Contains the list of products
$.ajax({
url: 'SProduct.aspx/GetAllProducts',
cache: false,
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: {},
success: function (data) {
$.each(data.d, function (index, prd) {
var p = new Product(prd.Id, prd.Name, prd.Price, prd.Category);
self.Products.push(p);
});
}
});
self.Total = ko.computed(function () {
var sum = 0;
var arr = self.Products();
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
sum += arr[i].Price;
}
return sum;
});
self.edit = function(product) {
self.Product(product);
};
self.update = function() {
var product = self.Product();
$.ajax({
url: 'SProduct.aspx/Update',
cache: false,
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: "{product:" + ko.toJSON(product) + "}",
success: function (data) {
for (var p in product) {
product[p](data.d[p]);
}
self.Product(null);
alert("Record Updated Successfully");
},
error: function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
};
self.reset = function() {
self.Name("");
self.Price("");
self.Category("");

Knockout observables not binding and applyBindings firing twice

I had earlier asked this question here which worked in a html file. Now I am trying to put the same in the ASP.NET webform but does not seem to work.
What happens here the first time the page loads ajax call fires which I do not want except when the cursor is moved away from the text box
On Blur I have a popup window that I want to show the data returned from the ajax call. The data does not bind either. What am I doing wrong here.
My Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
var self = this;
function showPopUp() {
var cvr = document.getElementById("cover")
var dlg = document.getElementById("dialog")
var SName = document.getElementById("<%=txtSurname.ClientID%>").value
document.getElementById("txtSurnameSearch").value = SName
cvr.style.display = "block"
dlg.style.display = "block"
if (document.body.style.overflow = "hidden") {
cvr.style.width = "1024"
cvr.style.height = "100;"
}
this.SurnameViewModel(SName) //<= here I pass the surname to the ViewModel
}
function closePopUp(el) {
var cvr = document.getElementById("cover")
var dlg = document.getElementById(el)
cvr.style.display = "none"
dlg.style.display = "none"
document.body.style.overflowY = "scroll"
}
function SurnameViewModel(Surname) {
var self = this;
self.Surnames = ko.observableArray();
$.ajax({
crossDomain: true,
type: 'POST',
url: "http://localhost/GetSurnames/Name/ChurchID",
dataType: 'json',
data: { "Name":Surname, "ChurchID": "17" },
processdata: true,
success: function (result) {
alert(result.data);
ko.mapping.fromJSON(result.data, {}, self.Surnames);
},
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
alert("Failure!");
alert(xhr.status);
alert(thrownError);
}
});
}
$(document).ready(function () {
ko.applyBindings(new SurnameViewModel());
});
</script>
My HTML
<!-- Grey Background -->
<div id="cover"></div>
<!-- Surname Popup -->
<div id="dialog" style="display:none">
My Dialog Content
<br /><input ID="txtSurnameSearch" type="text" />
<br /><input type="button" value="Submit" />
<br />[Close]
<pre data-bind="text: ko.toJSON($data, null, 2)"></pre> //<= just shows the header
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Family Name</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody data-bind="foreach: Surnames">
<tr>
<td data-bind="value: id"></td>
<td data-bind="value: homename"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
TextBox where the onBlur is called:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSurname" MaxLength="50" runat="server" Width="127px" class="txtboxes" placeholder="Last Name" onblur="showPopUp();" />
JSON Data returned by the ajax call
{"data":"[{\"id\":3,\"homename\":\"D\\u0027Costa\"}]"}
Edit 1:
If I hard code the values in the ajax call it seems to bind but still fires on page load
data: { "Name":"d", "ChurchID": "17" },
In your view model your Ajax call is inline, not inside a method, so as an instance of its contstructed your AJAX gets fired off. See this code, we create a global variable to hold the instance of your model and then wrap the AJAX call into its on function (method) in your JS. Then you can just call the method on your instance when you need to in your popup code.
var self = this;
var model = new SurnameViewModel();
function showPopUp() {
var cvr = document.getElementById("cover")
var dlg = document.getElementById("dialog")
var SName = document.getElementById("<%=txtSurname.ClientID%>").value
document.getElementById("txtSurnameSearch").value = SName
cvr.style.display = "block"
dlg.style.display = "block"
if (document.body.style.overflow = "hidden") {
cvr.style.width = "1024"
cvr.style.height = "100;"
}
model.GetSurname(SName) //<= here I pass the surname to the ViewModel
}
function closePopUp(el) {
var cvr = document.getElementById("cover")
var dlg = document.getElementById(el)
cvr.style.display = "none"
dlg.style.display = "none"
document.body.style.overflowY = "scroll"
}
function SurnameViewModel() {
var self = this;
self.Surnames = ko.observableArray();
self.GetSurname = function(Surname){
$.ajax({
crossDomain: true,
type: 'POST',
url: "http://localhost/GetSurnames/Name/ChurchID",
dataType: 'json',
data: { "Name":Surname, "ChurchID": "17" },
processdata: true,
success: function (result) {
alert(result.data);
ko.mapping.fromJSON(result.data, {}, self.Surnames);
},
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
alert("Failure!");
alert(xhr.status);
alert(thrownError);
}
});
}
}
$(document).ready(function () {
ko.applyBindings(model);

Auto complete textbox using web service

I have created web service which I am calling from client script. But it shows an error. I can not understand where the error is coming from. I also set break points at different points both in web service and in client script but not encountered those break points. Here is the code that I have written.
Code for Class file
public class GetContacts
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public GetContacts()
{
//
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
}
public List<GetContacts> FetchContacts()
{
List<GetContacts> ContactList = new List<GetContacts>();
ContactList.Add(new GetContacts() { ID = 1, Name = "XXX<1111111111>" });
ContactList.Add(new GetContacts() { ID = 2, Name = "XXX<1111111111>" });
ContactList.Add(new GetContacts() { ID = 3, Name = "XXX<1111111111>" });
ContactList.Add(new GetContacts() { ID = 4, Name = "XXX<1111111111>" });
ContactList.Add(new GetContacts() { ID = 5, Name = "XXX<1111111111>" });
ContactList.Add(new GetContacts() { ID = 6, Name = "XXX<1111111111>" });
ContactList.Add(new GetContacts() { ID = 7, Name = "XXX<1111111111>" });
ContactList.Add(new GetContacts() { ID = 7, Name = "XXX<1111111111>" });
return ContactList;
}
}
