Checkboxes to be checked after saving in angularjs - javascript

I am using angularjs for my application.I am using multiple checkbox selection and storing it in database in the format [1,2,3,4,5].For example if the checkbox selected is 1 then i am storing the value as 1.If multiple are selected then 1,2,3, and so on.
Here is the html
<div class="col-xs-12">
<div data-ng-repeat="healthStatus in HealthStatuses">
<input id="chkCustomer_{{healthStatus.Value}}" value="
{{healthStatus.Value}}" type="checkbox"
data-ng-checked="selection.indexOf(healthStatus.Value) > -1"
data-ng-click="toggleSelectionHealthStatus(healthStatus.Value)" />
{{healthStatus.Name}}</label>
</div>
</div>
Here is the controller.js
$scope.HealthStatuses = [{
Name: 'Alzheimers',
Value: 1,
Selected: false
}, {
Name: 'Arthritis',
Value: 2,
Selected: false
},{
Name: 'Cancer',
Value: 3,
Selected: false
},{
Name: 'Cellulitis',
Value: 4,
Selected: false
}];
Here is how i am pushing the selected checkboxes value
$scope.selectionHealthStatus=[];
$scope.toggleSelectionHealthStatus = function toggleSelection(Value) {
var idx = $scope.selectionHealthStatus.indexOf(Value);
if (idx > -1) {
$scope.selectionHealthStatus.splice(idx, 1);
} else {
$scope.selectionHealthStatus.push(Value);
}
};
Now while retrieving the data i want the checkboxes to be checked.But now it is not happening.
Here is how i am retrieving the data
userPageService.getHealthStatus().then((data) => {
data = data.data;
$scope.formData = data;
});
If i put console for $scope.formData this is what i get.
participantIllnessAndDisability:"[1, 2, 3, 4]"
Here participantIllnessAndDisability is one field with multiple checkboxes selected.Now what i want to do is after adding the data while viewing i want the selected checkboxes to be checked.I am getting the data from database in [1,2,3] format.The datatype for field participantIllnessAndDisability in database is String.

At load of page, the function on ng-checked won’t get automatically called. Hence it won’t check the check box.
You could assign ng-model or ng expression to checked property and initialize it from controller on data load.

Update:
Please try this.
userPageService.getHealthStatus().then((data) => {
data = data.data;
$scope.formData = data;
$scope.HealthStatuses.forEach((o) => o.Selected = JSON.parse(data.participantIllnessAndDisability).includes(o.Value));
});

AngularJS - Checklist-Model doesn't update the model correctly on checkbox change

I'm new to AngularJS and I'm having a problem with the Checklist-Model directive.
I'm using one of their examples to replicate this behavior.
When I click one checkbox and call a function, the model seems to be updated
correctly and is shown accordingly on the template, but when I log the contents of the model on the console the value of the checkbox I clicked is missing.
Here's when the strange stuff starts. If I click the checkbox again, then the value is removed from the template but I can see it on the console.
Here's the code:
HTML:
<div ng-controller="DemoCtrl">
<label ng-repeat="role in roles">
<input type="checkbox" checklist-model="user.roles"
checklist-value="role.text"
ng-change="changeValues(role)"> {{role.text}}
</label>
<br>
<button ng-click="checkAll()">check all</button>
<button ng-click="uncheckAll()">uncheck all</button>
<button ng-click="checkFirst()">check first</button>
<br><br>
user.roles {{ user.roles | json }}
</div>
Angular:
angular.module("DemoApp", ["checklist-model"])
.controller('DemoCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.roles = [
{id: 1, text: 'guest'},
{id: 2, text: 'user'},
{id: 3, text: 'customer'},
{id: 4, text: 'admin'}
];
$scope.user = {
roles: ['guest', 'admin']
};
$scope.checkAll = function() {
$scope.user.roles = $scope.roles.map(function(item) { return item.id; });
};
$scope.uncheckAll = function() {
$scope.user.roles = [];
};
$scope.checkFirst = function() {
$scope.user.roles.splice(0, $scope.user.roles.length);
$scope.user.roles.push(1);
};
$scope.changeValues = function() {
console.log('Roles: ', JSON.stringify($scope.user.roles));
}
});
The first time I click a checkbox i.e: 'User' the output on the console is:
Roles: ["guest","admin"]
Then, when I uncheck the same checkbox the output is:
Roles: ["guest","admin","user"]
In the application I'm developing I MUST call a function when the checkbox changes it's value that's why I using the "ng-change" directive.
Can anybody explain what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
checklist-model it's used the Id as checklist-value in the checkbox and in your code you use the text.
So in the function $scope.checkAll you should return the item.text instead item.id and in the function $scope.checkFirst you should push the $scope.roles.find(item => item.id == 1).text
And the rest seems correct

Dropdown menus in AngularJS

I have two dropdown menus in my angular app. When I select an option in the 1st dropdown menu, I want that choice to effect the 2nd dropdown menu. Example: 1st menu will have a list of status messages. When I select, let's say, "Need Maintenance" It will change the 2nd menu to the departments relevant to the Maintenance. Or if I choose the status "Lost", it will change the 2nd menu to the departments relevant to the Lost status. Here is my code and setup:
.controller('HomeCtrl', function($scope, $rootScope, $http, $ionicPlatform) {
// This disables the user from being able to go back to the previous view
$ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
}, 100);
// This function only gets called when the submit button is hit on the messaging screen. It posts to server for sending of message
$scope.submit = function() {
$http.post('http://localhost:8000/', {
messageText: $scope.messageText,
name: window.localStorage.getItem("username")
});
$scope.messageText = ""; //clearing the message box
}
})
<div class="form1" ng-controller="HomeCtrl">
<form class="form">
<select placeholder="Select a Subject" ng-model="selectSubject" data-ng-options="option.subject for option in subject"></select>
<select placeholder="Select a Department" ng-model="selectDept" data-ng-options="option.dept for option in dept"></select>
<input type="text" class="messageText" placeholder="Message" ng-model="messageText">
<button class="button" ng-click="submit()"><span>Submit</span></button>
</form>
</div>
That is my controller relevant to the html that is also posted.
I know how to get the information I need from my node server which will be housing the information. All I need help figuring out is changing the options within the 2nd menu when a option is clicked in the 1st menu.
I am thinking just having a http.get call when a option is clicked which will then populate the 2nd menu. The first menu will be static, not changing.
I've just started messing around with Angular and a database and and was able to dynamically populate one select based on the choice in another.
Below is the HTML for my two select boxes (my second select is a multiple, but you can obviously remove that attribute):
<label>Select a Table</label>
<select name="tableDropDown" id="tableDropDown"
ng-options="table.name for table in data.availableTables"
ng-model="data.selectedTable"
ng-change="getTableColumns()">
</select>
<label>Select Columns</label>
<select name="columnMultiple" id="columnMultiple"
ng-options="column.name for column in data.availableColumns"
ng-model="data.selectedColumns"
multiple>
</select>
And I have the controller below. The init function clears all of the data sources for the two select's, retrieves the list of tables (for the first select), sets the selected table to the first table in the list, and then calls the second function.
The second function (which is also called whenever the selected table changes, thanks to the ng-change directive) retrieves the metadata for the selected table and uses it to populate the second select with the list of available columns.
.controller('SimpleController', function($scope, $http) {
init();
function init() {
$scope.data = {
availableTables: [],
availableColumns: [],
selectedTable: {}
};
$http.get("http://some.server.address")
.then(function (response) {
$scope.data.availableTables = response.data.value;
$scope.data.selectedTable = $scope.data.availableTables[0];
$scope.getTableColumns();
});
}
$scope.getTableColumns = function () {
$scope.data.selectedColumns = [];
table = $scope.data.selectedTable.url;
if (table != "") {
$http.get("http://some.server.address/" + table + "/$metadata?#json")
.then(function (response) {
$scope.data.availableColumns = response.data.value;
});
}
}
...
});
maybe you can use the ng-change directive on the 1st select and using the callback function to populate the 2nd select in the way you prefer( http call or local data).
if your Departments objects has a references to the Subject object, something like a subject_id, you can just do a filter:
Example:
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
subjects
<select placeholder="Select a Subject" ng-model="selectSubject" ng-options="subject.name for subject in subjects"></select>
departmets
<select placeholder="Select a Department" ng-model="selectDept" ng-options="dept.name for dept in depts | filter:{ subject_id : selectSubject.id }"></select>
</div>
var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[]);
function MyCtrl($scope) {
$scope.subjects = [
{
id: 1,
name: "sub 1",
},
{
id: 2,
name: "sub 2",
}
];
$scope.depts = [
{
id: 1,
name: "Dep 1",
subject_id: 1
},
{
id: 2,
name: "Dep 2",
subject_id: 1
},
{
id: 3,
name: "Dep 3",
subject_id: 2
},
{
id: 4,
name: "Dep 4",
subject_id: 2
}
]
}

select - populate when editing post

I have my angularjs view in wich I must populate my select box with value saved in database, and to allow for other options to be selected. I have tryed like this:
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label" for="status">Status zaposlenika</label>
<div class="controls">
<select required name="status" class="form-control" ng-model="employee.status" ng-options="statusType.name for statusType in statusTypes" >
</select>
</div>
But my value is not populated in my view. ( {{employee.status}} - > "test" )
$scope.statusTypes = [
{
name: 'test'
},
{
name:'Test1'
},
{
name: 'Test2'
},
{
name:'Test3'
}
];
How can I do this ?
EDIT
My model employee.status is populated with value "test". But my select box is not. Othe values are listed as items for selection. How can I set default value that is saved in my database to be pre-selected in my select box.
Your model employee.name is a string and selectbox is bound to an object similar to {name: "Test1"}. So if you want to select option from statusTypes you have to find corresponding object in array of object.
$scope.statusTypes = [
{name: 'Test1'},
{name: 'Test2'},
{name: 'Test3'}
];
var selectedStatus = $scope.statusTypes.filter(function(type) {
return type.name = 'Test2';
})[0];
$scope.employee = {
status: selectedStatus
};
So you have to make employee.status to be one of the objects from statusTypes array.
Or other option is to continue to use string for employee.status and change ngOptions to bind to a string instead of object:
ng-options="statusType.name as statusType.name for statusType in statusTypes"

Item selection MVC view with KnockoutJS

I am trying to implement a generic ASP.net MVC view. The UI should display a list of available and selected items loading data (basically list of string) from server. User can make changes into the list i.e. can select new items from available item list and also can remove items from selected list.
I wanted to do it using KnockoutJS as to take advantage of binding.
I manage to complete it upto the point everything is working except showing selected item as checked when the view is initialized in available list. E.g. As Shown Here
I tried various options (using template (closest to what I want to achieve), Checked attr, possible options), the issue is if I manage to display item checked some other functionality breaks. Tried defining a template but could not get it to work in my case.
HTML:
<div class='moverBoxOuter'>
<div id='contactsList'>
<span data-bind="visible: availableItems().length > 0">Available countries: </span>
<ul data-bind="foreach: availableItems, visible: availableItems().length > 0">
<li>
<input type="checkbox" data-bind="checkedValue: $data, checked: $root.selectedItems" />
<span data-bind="text: title"></span>
</li>
</ul>
<span data-bind="visible: selectedItems().length > 0">Selected countries: </span>
<ul data-bind="foreach: selectedItems, visible: selectedItems().length > 0">
<li>
<span data-bind="text: title"></span>
Delete
</li>
</ul>
</div>
JS:
var initialData = [
{
availableItems: [
{ title: "US", isSelected: true },
{ title: "Canada", isSelected: false },
{ title: "India", isSelected: false }]
},
{
selectedItems: [
{ "title": "US" },
{ "title": "Canada" }
]
}
];
function Item(titleText, isSelected) {
this.title = ko.observable(titleText);
this.isSelected = ko.observable(isSelected);
}
var SelectableItemViewModel = function (items) {
// Data
var self = this;
self.availableItems = ko.observableArray(ko.utils.arrayMap(items[0].availableItems, function (item) {
return new Item(item.title, item.isSelected);
}));
self.selectedItems = ko.observableArray(ko.utils.arrayMap(items[1].selectedItems, function (item) {
return new Item(item.title, item.isSelected);
}));
// Operations
self.selectItem = function (item) {
self.selectedItems.push(item);
item.isSelected(!item.isSelected());
};
self.removeItem = function (removedItem) {
self.selectedItems.remove(removedItem);
$.each(self.availableItems, function (item) {
if (item.title === removedItem.title) {
item.isSelected = false;
}
});
};
}
var vm = new SelectableItemViewModel(initialData);
$(document).ready(function () {
ko.applyBindings(vm);
});
Could you please help, see jsfiddle below:

**Update: Follow up question below **
Its followup question:
I need to add a combobox on same UI e.g. for US state. The available items are counties, based on user selection in state combo I need to filter out counties. I am getting data from server using AJAX and its all successful BUT the displayed list is not refreshing. I was expecting having binding setup correctly, if we change the observable array in viewmodel, the UI should change. I tried forcing change to availableItems but it just display all items. Please see if you can spot the problem in below code where I am updating ViewModel observable array.
function multiselect_change() {
console.log("event: openmultiselect_change");
var selectedState = $("#stateDropdownSelect").val();
var propertyName = $("#PropertyName").val();
var searchId = #Model.SearchId;
var items;
var model = { propertyName: propertyName, searchId: searchId, stateName: selectedState };
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("GetFilterValues", "Search")',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'html',
data: JSON.stringify(model)
})
.success(function(result) {
debugger;
items = JSON.parse(result);
vm.availableItems(items.AvailableItems);
//vm.availableItems.valueHasMutated();
//var item = document.getElementById('availableItemId');
//ko.cleanNode(item);
//ko.applyBindings(vm, item);
vm.filter(selectedState);
})
.error(function(xhr, status) {
alert(status);
});
}
As user3426870 mentioned, you need to change the value you passed to the checked binding to boolean.
<input type="checkbox" data-bind="checkedValue: $data, checked: isSelected" />
Also, I don't think you need to have selectedItems in the initial data.
Instead in the viewModel, you can do something like:
self.selectedItems = ko.computed(function() {
return ko.utils.arrayFilter(self.availableItems(), function (item) {
return item.isSelected();
});
});
It's because you give an array to the binding checked while it's supposed to be a value comparable to true or false (like undefind or an empty string).
I would use a function checking if the $data is in your array and returning a boolean to your binding.
Something like that!

knockout.js - nested array data and cascading pre-populated dropdown lists binding

I'm fairly new to knockout.js, however, I've been happily using it in my ASP.NET MVC 4 project, until I ran into this obstacle which has been bothering me for a while, can't seem to put my finger on it.
The scenario which I'm working on requires several combinations of location data (region, country, city), i.e. cascading dropdown lists, which isn't a problem to do when inputting fresh data, but I ran into problem(s) when trying to edit the saved data.
Data is in JSON format, with nested arrays, looks like this (shortened for illustration purposes):
var newData =
[
{
"ID":1,
"Name":"Australia and New Zealand",
"Countries":[
{
"ID":13,
"Name":"Australia",
"Cities":[
{
"ID":19,
"Name":"Brisbane"
},
{
"ID":28,
"Name":"Cairns"
},
...
I suspect I can't load the data (or more clearly, to bind it) properly since I'm having trouble accessing the Region sub-array (which contains Region's Countries) and the Countries sub-array (which contains Countries' Cities).
Then there's the matter of having prepopulated options, which works partially, the viewmodel loads the number of lines, but doesn't select anything.
Here's the VM:
var existingRows = [
{
"Region": 1,
"Country": 13,
"City": 19
},
{
"Region": 1,
"Country": 158,
"City": 3
}];
var Location = function (region, country, city) {
var self = this;
self.region = ko.observable(region);
self.country = ko.observable(country);
self.city = ko.observable(city);
// Whenever the region changes, reset the country selection
self.region.subscribe(function () {
self.country(undefined);
});
// Whenever the country changes, reset the city selection
self.country.subscribe(function () {
self.city(undefined);
});
};
var LocationViewModel = function (data) {
var self = this;
self.lines = ko.observableArray(ko.utils.arrayMap(data, function (row)
{
var rowRegion = ko.utils.arrayFirst(newData, function (region)
{
return region.ID == row.Region;
});
var rowCountry = ko.utils.arrayFirst(rowRegion.Countries, function (country) {
return country.ID == row.Country;
});
var rowCity = ko.utils.arrayFirst(rowCountry.Cities, function (city) {
return city.ID == row.City;
});
return new Location(rowRegion, rowCountry, rowCity);
}));
// Operations
self.addLine = function () {
self.lines.push(new Location())
};
self.removeLine = function (line) {
self.lines.remove(line)
};
};
var lvm = new LocationViewModel(existingRows);
$(function () {
ko.applyBindings(lvm);
});
HTML code:
<tbody data-bind="foreach: lines">
<tr>
<td><select data-bind="options: newData, optionsText: 'Name', optionsValue: 'ID', optionsCaption: 'Select a region...', attr: { name: 'SubRegionIndex' + '['+$index()+']' }, value: region"></select></td>
<td><select data-bind="options: Countries, optionsText: 'Name', optionsValue: 'ID', optionsCaption: 'Select a country...', attr: { name: 'CountryIndex' + '['+$index()+']' }, value: country"></select></td>
<td><select data-bind="options: Cities, optionsText: 'Name', optionsValue: 'ID', optionsCaption: 'Select a city...', attr: { name: 'CityIndex' + '['+$index()+']' }, value: city"></select></td>
<td><a href='#' data-bind='click: $parent.removeLine'>Remove</a></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
I tried to modify the Cart editor example from the knockout.js website with prepopulated data, but haven't really made much progress, I seem to be missing something. Didn't really find anything with nested arrays so I'm stuck here...
I've put up the full code on JSFiddle here:
http://jsfiddle.net/fgXA2/1/
Any help would be appreciated.
The problem is the way in which you are binding to the selected item in your select lists:
<select data-bind="
options: newData,
optionsText: 'Name',
optionsValue: 'ID',
value: region">
</select>
Here you are binding the ID property from your JSON data to the region property on your view model.
This means that when you bind your second select list:
<td data-bind="with: region">
<select data-bind="
options: Countries,
optionsText: 'Name',
optionsValue: 'ID',
value: $parent.country">
</select>
</td>
You attempt to bind to region.Countries. However, region simply contains the selected region ID. In this case the console is your friend:
Uncaught Error: Unable to parse bindings. Message: ReferenceError:
Countries is not defined;
The same problem is true of your third select list for Cities since you are now attempting to bind to country.Cities where country is also just the ID.
There are two options available here. The first is to remove the optionsValue parameters, thus binding the actual JSON objects to your view model properties. That and a binding error on your Cities select box (you were binding to CityName instead of Name) were the only problems:
http://jsfiddle.net/benfosterdev/wHtRZ/
As you can see from the example I've used the ko.toJSON utility to output your view model's object graph. This can be very useful in resolving problems (in your case you would have seen that the region property was just an number).
The downside of the above approach is that you end up storing a copy of all of the countries, and their cities for the selected country in your view model.
A better solution if dealing with large data sets would be to only store the selected identifier (which I believe you were attempting to do originally) and then define computed properties that filter your single data set for the required values.
An example of this can be seen at http://jsfiddle.net/benfosterdev/Bbbt3, using the following computed properties:
var getById = function (items, id) {
return ko.utils.arrayFirst(items, function (item) {
return item.ID === id;
});
};
this.countries = ko.computed(function () {
var region = getById(this.selectedRegion.regions, this.selectedRegion());
return region ? ko.utils.arrayMap(region.Countries, function (item) {
return {
ID: item.ID,
Name: item.Name
};
}) : [];
}, this);
this.cities = ko.computed(function () {
var region = getById(this.selectedRegion.regions, this.selectedRegion());
if (region) {
var country = getById(region.Countries, this.selectedCountry());
if (country) {
return country.Cities;
}
}
}, this);
You can see from the rendered object graph that only the currently selected countries and cities are copied to the view model.
