What I'm doing NOW:
Often multiple instances of the view component would be used in multiple places in an application. Each time I do this, I register the same mediator with a different name.
When a notification is dispatched, I attach the name of the mediator to the body of the notification, like so:
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.mediatorName = this.getMediatorName();
obj.someParameter = someParameter;
sendNotification ("someNotification", obj);
Then in the Command class, I parse the notification body and store the mediatorName in the proxy.
var mediatorName:String = notification.getBody().mediatorName;
var params:String = notification.getBody().someParameter;
getProxy().someMethod(params, mediatorName);
On the return notification, the mediatorName is returned with it.
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.mediatorName = mediatorName;
obj.someReturnedValue= someReturnedValue;
sendNotification ("someReturnedNotification", obj);
In the multiple mediators that might be watching for "someReturnedNotification," in the handleNotification(), it does an if statement, to see
if obj.mediatorName == this.getMediatorName
returns true. If so, process the info, if not, don't.
My Question is:
Is this the right way of using Multiton PureMVC? My gut feeling is not. I am sure there's a better way of architecting the application so that I don't have to test for the mediator's name to see if the component should be updated with the returned info.
Would someone please help and give me some direction as to what is a better way?
Thanks.
I checked with Cliff (the puremvc.org guy) and he said it's fine.

TLDR
I like to really focus on keeping business logic away from the view model / controller. I find this sometimes rather hard in Meteor. Maybe I'm missing the point but I am after one of two things really:
1) A really good document explaining at a really low level how reactive values are being used.
2) A package that somehow manages an object so that if any of the setters are altered, they notify all of the get functions that would change as a result.
Unfortunately I've not seen either.
My Example
I have a fair bit ob business logic sitting behind a dialog used to document a consultation. I might have an event that sets a change of state.
I'd like to do something like this in the event:
const cc = new ConsultationEditor();
cc.setChiefComplaint(event.target.value);
console.log(cc.data());
ConsultationDict.set("consEdit", cc.data() );
When the user has updated this value, I'd then like to show a number of fields, based on the change. For this I have a helper with the following:
fields: function(){
console.log("trying to get fields");
const obj = ConsultationDict.get('consEdit');
cc = new ConsultationEditor(obj);
return cc.getFields();
}
But unfortunately this does not work for me.
What is your ConsultationDict?
The way you describe it, you want it to be a ReactiveDict as in the official ReactiveDict package.

Check this tutorial for examples:
https://themeteorchef.com/snippets/reactive-dict-reactive-vars-and-session-variables/
If you really need more fine tuning in your reactivity, you can also set a dependency tracker tracker = new Tracker.Dependency, and then refer to it wherever you change a variable with tracker.changed() and where the data needs to be notified with tracker.depend() like this:
var favoriteFood = "apples";
var favoriteFoodDep = new Tracker.Dependency;
var getFavoriteFood = function () {
favoriteFoodDep.depend();
return favoriteFood;
};
var setFavoriteFood = function (newValue) {
favoriteFood = newValue;
favoriteFoodDep.changed();
};
getFavoriteFood();
See the full Tracker doc here:
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Tracker-Manual
I also found this gist to be useful to build reactive objects:

and for a ViewModel type of behavior, check out

I hope this helps.
I'm trying to get a list of the available users from the Core Service. I spend quite some time looking at the available service methods and the most obvious seemed to be this:
TrusteesFilterData trusteesFilterData = new TrusteesFilterData
{
BaseColumns = ListBaseColumns.IdAndTitle,
IsPredefined = false,
ItemType = ItemType.User
};
XElement listTrustees = client.GetSystemWideListXml(trusteesFilterData);
However, the code throws an error when calling GetSystemWideListXml - Unable to create Abstract Class. Am I using the correct approach and, if so what am I doing wrong? If not, what should I be doing instead?
Take a look at the samples in the open source project for workflow notification
http://code.google.com/p/tridion-notification-framework/source/browse/NotificationService/NotificationService/Worker.cs
Lines 22 - 26 in the DoWork() method should do what you need - I think need to use UsersFilterData rather than TrusteesFilterData
var users = client.GetSystemWideList(new UsersFilterData { BaseColumns = ListBaseColumns.IdAndTitle, IsPredefined = false });
Here's some code,
k.Bind<IGame>().To<Game>().Named("A")
.WithConstructorArgument("ColorChoiceCount", 12);
iGame = k.Get<IGame>("A");
((Game)iGame).SelectedColor = new GameColor(System.Drawing.Color.Red);
iGame = k.Get<IGame>("A");
On the first iGame = k.Get<IGame>("A"); I get a new instance of Game.
Next line: I change one of it's properties.
Next line (iGame = k.Get<IGame>("A"); again) I get a new instance again.
What I would like is to be able to retrieve instances I've already used.
But I'm totally new to this kind of tools so I guess I'm missing something.
Thank you if you can help me.
You need to specify the lifetime of your object - by default the container will create a new instance.
The available methods are as follows:
InScope
InTransientScope
InThreadScope
InSingletonScope
InRequestScope
http://blog.bobcravens.com/2010/03/ninject-life-cycle-management-or-scoping/
You probably want a singleton (single instance of the game):
k.Bind<IGame>().To<Game>().InSingletonScope().Named("A")
.WithConstructorArgument("ColorChoiceCount", 12);
I'm building an AIR application. Basically, what I'm looking to do is using navigateToUrl() to open a browser window, assign it a "name" and then, send variables to that newly opened window using the POST method.
EDIT : I need the window to be visible, this is why I absolutely need to use the navigateToUrl() function
I already know that I CAN'T DO something like this, that the AIR application will send the variables using the GET method...
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
vars.myVar = "Hello my friend";
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://example.com/my-page.php");
req.method = "POST":
req.data = vars;
navigateToURL(req);
Considering the amount of variables I have to send (multiline texts) I absolutely need to send my variables using the POST method else Internet Explorer is truncating the query string... Works fine in Firefox and Safari but unfortunately, we will always have (hope not!) to deal with IE..
So I was thinking something like this :
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
private var _timer:Timer;
protected function loadPage():void
{
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://example.com/my-page.php");
navigateToURL(req, "myPageName");
_timer = new Timer(3000, 1);
_timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, postVars);
_timer.start();
}
protected function postVars(event:TimerEvent):void
{
// I'm looking to send variables using the POST method to "myPageName"
// and possibly using URLVariables()??
_timer.stop();
}
Any idea Flex coders? THANKS!
I think what you're going to need to do is open up a page you have control over, then use ExternalInterface to inject the values into a hidden form and then execute the post operation in that page form.submit(), etc.
This can happen almost instantly and it will all appear very seamless to the end user.
I'm using Adobe Stratus (now renamed to Cirrus) to build a p2p application. Inside the application, I used NetStream.onPeerConnect callback function and expected it to be triggered every time when a peer is connected. However, it always failed with my friend A while strangely friend B managed to have the function called without any problem.
I was wondering what could be the cause to this issue?
Here are how the code pieces look like.
First of all, create a NetConnection.
netConnection = new NetConnection();
netConnection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netConnectionHandler);
netConnection.connect(SERVER_ADDRESS+DEVELOPER_KEY);
Secondly, create NetStream upon NetConnection successfully connected.
private function netConnectionHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void{
switch (event.info.code){
case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
sendStream = new NetStream(netConnection, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
sendStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStreamHandler);
var sendObj:Object = new Object();
sendObj.onPeerConnect = function(subscriber:NetStream) : Boolean {
trace("[onPeerConnect] far id: " + subscriber.farID);
return true;
}
sendStream.client = sendObj;
sendStream.publish("file");
......
Thirdly, here's how I build the connection between two peers
receivedStream = new NetStream(netConnection, farId);
receivedStream.client = this;
receivedStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, incomingStreamHandler);
receivedStream.play("file");
Please help enlighten me. Thanks!
It turns out my friend A is behind a symmetric NAT. I'm thinking to setup a TURN server for us to build a successful connection.
