So why not instead of

function formatStock(stock) {
    return $.extend(stock, {
        Price: stock.Price.toFixed(2),
        PercentChange: (stock.PercentChange * 100).toFixed(2) + '%',
        Direction: stock.Change === 0 ? '' : stock.Change >= 0 ? up : down
    });
}

just do

function formatStock(stock) {

    stock.Price: stock.Price.toFixed(2);
    stock.PercentChange: (stock.PercentChange * 100).toFixed(2) + '%';
    stock.Direction: stock.Change === 0 ? '' : stock.Change >= 0 ? up : down;

    return stock;

You'd need = instead of : for the property assignments, but both versions would effectively do the same thing. Smile | :)

Add or Update Row In Data Table

Kevin Marois24-Apr-17 12:13

24-Apr-17 12:13

I have this data table:

@using (@Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home"))
{
    <div id="divData">
        @{
            var grid = new WebGrid(Model, rowsPerPage: 20);

<pre>
        @grid.GetHtml(
        tableStyle: "webgrid-table",
        headerStyle: "webgrid-header",
        footerStyle: "webgrid-footer",
        alternatingRowStyle: "webgrid-alternating-row",
        selectedRowStyle: "webgrid-selected-row",
        rowStyle: "webgrid-row-style",
        mode: WebGridPagerModes.All,
        columns:
        grid.Columns
        (
            grid.Column(columnName: "RowId", header: "Row Id", format: @<text>@item.RowId</text>),
            grid.Column(columnName: "SiteId", header: "Site Id", format: @<text>@item.SiteId</text>),
        ))

        //other columns ommitted
    }

}

I then listen to a SignalR service for new or updated row data. My javaScript code

@section scripts
{
    <script src="/Scripts/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="/Scripts/jquery.signalR-2.1.2.js"></script>
    <script src="~/signalr/hubs"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {

               $(function () {

                    var conn = $.hubConnection("<a href="http://000.000.00.00:8094/signalr">http://000.000.00.00:8094/signalr</a>");
                    var proxy = conn.createHubProxy('dashboardHub')

                    proxy.on('notifyAllClientsOfChanges', function (model) {

                        console.log("notifyAllClientsOfChanges received");

                        //Here I want to either Add or Update the row who's Id matches the Model's id.

                        // 1) See if the row exists in the table

                        // 2) If the row exists, update it from the model passed in

                        // 3) If the row does not exist, add it

                    });
                });
    </script>
}

Could use some help here.

Thanks

Re: Add or Update Row In Data Table

You're going to need some way to extract the ID from each row. There doesn't seem to be any way to add custom attributes to the table rows, so you'll need something within a colunm:

grid.Column(columnName: "RowId", header: "Row Id", format: @<text><span data-row-id="@item.RowId">@item.RowId</span></text>),

You should then be able to use jQuery to select the row with the specified ID:

JavaScript

var $row = $(".webgrid-table").find("span[data-row-id='" + model.RowId + "']").closest("tr");
if ($row.length){
    // The row exists:
    $row.find("td").eq(1).text(model.SiteId);
    ...
}
else {
    // The row does not exist:
    $row = createNewRow(model);
    $(".webgrid-table > tbody").append($row);
}

How you create the new row will depend on how complicated your grid is. You could use something like Handlebars.js[^] to create the row based on a template.

What does this do?

Richard Deeming wrote:

Looks like it's looking for a row by the site Id??

Does "find(td") search for a Table Definition?

What does the eq(1) do?

Re: Add or Update Row In Data Table

$row.find("td")

That returns all of the <td> elements within the specified row.

.eq(1)

That reduces the set to the second <td> element in the row.
.eq() | jQuery API Documentation[^]

.text(model.SiteId)

That sets the text of the matched element.

If your row is particularly complex, it might be easier to use the same Handlebars.js[^] template you're using for the new row, and use $row.replaceWith(newRow)[^] to replace the row, rather than trying to update each cell.

If you look at this SignalR example, about halfway down, they seem to be doing something similar to this.

They are hard coding in the HTML for a row. This sounds like what I would need in the createNewRow function you posted. Im I correct on this?

Yes, that would probably work for a simple row template.

But they're building the entire table in Javascript, so they can use data- attributes on the <tr> elements to identify the row. There isn't any way to do that with the WebGrid helper, so you'd still need to include the <span data-row-id="..."> within a column, and use that to find the row to update.

Using what you've taught me, as well as examples like this, I now have this

The Table
I added SPAN tags to the table rows

grid.Column(columnName: "RowId", header: "Row Id",              format: @<text><span data-row-id="@item.RowId">@item.RowId</span></text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "SiteId", header: "Site Id",            format: @<text>@item.SiteId</text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "Instrument", header: "Instrument",     format: @<text>@item.InstrumentId</text> ),
grid.Column(columnName: "TowerLocation", header: "Tower",       format: @<text>@item.TowerLocation</text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "BayLocation", header: "Bay Location",  format: @<text>@item.BayLocation</text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "BaySerialNo", header: "Bay Serial #",  format: @<text>@item.BaySerialNo</text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "BayStatus", header: "Bay Status",      format: @<text>@item.BayStatus</text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "AccessionId", header: "Accession ID",  format: @<text>@item.AccessionId</text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "Result", header: "Result",             format: @<text>@item.Result</text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "AssayName", header: "Assay Name",      format: @<text>@item.AssayName</text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "TestStarted", header: "Started",       format: @<text>@item.Started</text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "TestCompleted", header: "Completed",   format: @<text>@item.Completed</text>),
grid.Column(columnName: "TestSummary", header: "Test Summary",  format: @<text>@item.TestSummary</text> )

The JavaScript Code

// Find the row who's Id matches the model's RowId
var $row = $(".webgrid-table").find("span[data-row-id='" + model.RowId + "']").closest("tr");

// If the row was found...
if ($row.length) {

    // Update the row

    var col10 = $row.find(".x-Started").text(model.Started);
    var col11 = $row.find(".x-Completed").text(model.Completed);
    var col12 = $row.find(".x-TestSummary").text(model.TestSummary);

}
else {

    // The row does not exist, so add it to the table

    // Make a copy of the first row
    var table = document.getElementById('divData');
    var new_row = table.rows[0].cloneNode(true);
    var len = table.rows.length;
    new_row.cells[0].innerHTML = len;

It looks close, but I think you'd end up losing the <span data-row-id="..."> on the new rows.

I'd be inclined to try to combine the two branches:

JavaScript

var $row = $(".webgrid-table").find("span[data-row-id='" + model.RowId + "']").closest("tr");

if (!$row.length) {
    var table = document.getElementById('divData');
    
    var len = table.rows.length;
    var new_row = table.rows[len - 1].cloneNode(true);
    new_row = table.appendChild(new_row);
    
    $row = $(new_row);
    $row.find("span[data-row-id]").data("rowId", model.RowId).text(model.RowId);
}

$row.find(".x-SiteId").text(model.SiteId);
$row.find(".x-InstrumentId").text(model.InstrumentId);
$row.find(".x-TowerLocation").text(model.TowerLocation);
$row.find(".x-BayLocation").text(model.BayLocation);
$row.find(".x-BaySerialNo").text(model.BaySerialNo);
$row.find(".x-BayStatus").text(model.BayStatus);
$row.find(".x-AccessionId").text(model.AccessionId);
$row.find(".x-Result").text(model.Result);
$row.find(".x-AssayName").text(model.AssayName);
$row.find(".x-Started").text(model.Started);
$row.find(".x-Completed").text(model.Completed);
$row.find(".x-TestSummary").text(model.TestSummary);

Null Reference Exception particularly means that the object you are currently using, does not exist in the memory. You can easily get rid of this error in many ways,

// First way, make sure object does exist.
var obj = new ObjectType();

// Second way, check if it exists
if(obj == null) {
   // Likely to throw error, 
} else {
   // Use the object, it is not null
}

// Third, not recommended
var value = obj?.Property;

Yet, there are many other ways to hide this. But in my own opinion, if you encounter null reference exception, then you should not try to avoid it, but have a look at why was it there in the first place. The object, in your Charting.Axis etc, they are null, I would say, Axis was null as you are trying to call a function on it. So, do check them. And properly create an instance of them so that this error can go away.

1) An unformatted code-dump is not a question.

2) Storing the username and password in cookies is an EXTREMELY bad idea. Please tell us which site(s) your code will be deployed on, so that we can blacklist them.

3) Look at the cookie names you're setting, then look at the cookie names you're trying to read.

Should i use bootstrap for my project?

I know that this question probably have been asked many times before but things changes over time.

We are developing a huge website in size comparison to facebook. It will be very unique design wise and should be pixel perfect from the design. As we see it most of the features in the bootstrap framework will only take resources, as much of those will not be used or highly customized using less in our case.

Is bootstrap still really the right way to go for this project or should we just base it on normalize?

We know the development will be heavily decreased with bootstrap but that doesn't matter.

Start by giving up on that unrealistic goal. Smile | :)

Trying to make the site a "pixel perfect" match for a design image is hard enough in a single browser at a fixed resolution. Once you start throwing in multiple browsers at different resolutions, it becomes virtually impossible. So unless you're going to add a 90's style footer saying "This site is best viewed in Internet Explorer 4 at 1024x768", it's not going to work.

So either customise Bootstrap[^], and remove the components you're not going to use; or don't use Bootstrap.

If you're not going to use most of the features from Bootstrap, then it wouldn't make sense to use Bootstrap. There are other lightweight frameworks available that you could base your site on - eg: W3.CSS Home[^]. Or you could build your CSS from scratch, which would give you complete control.

There's no point fighting to adapt a framework that isn't a good fit for your requirements.
