I'm stuck in a script here, not sure how to get it to print in the div I set up. I imagine it's something related to how I'm handling the response.
The response in chrome devtools looks like this:
{
"[\"record one\", \"/description\"]": 0
}
I've attempted to use both each and map to iterate the data out but so far not going anywhere. I'm brand new to js and jquery, so the script is mostly from reading and examples.
Maybe some kind of nested loop? Here is my code -
$(function() {
return $('#myslider').slider({
range: true,
min: 0,
max: 20,
values: [1, 20],
stop: function(event, ui) {
var max, min;
min = ui.values[0];
max = ui.values[1];
$('#range').text(min + ' - ' + max);
$.ajax({
url: '/dir_scan',
type: 'get',
data: {
min: min,
max: max
},
dataType: 'json',
success: function(response) {
var albums;
albums = response;
$.each(albums, function(index, obj) {
var albumname, artist, li_tag;
li_tag = '';
albumname = obj.AlbumName;
artist = obj.Artist;
li_tag += '<li>Artist: ' + artist + ', Album: ' + albumname + '</li>';
$('#result').append($(li_tag));
return console.log;
});
}
});
}
});
});
As Will said in the comments, the JSON looks off.
But, you're on the right track of using .each, as it looks that you're returning an array of objects.
Here's an example of what to do:
var li_tag = '';
$.each(albums, function(index, obj) {
var albumname = obj.AlbumName;
var artist = obj.Artist
li_tag += '<li>Artist: ' + artist + ', Album: ' + albumname + '</li>';
$('#result').append($(li_tag));
return console.log;
});
Additionally, 'albums' should be set to the returned response of the success function. You're potentially creating a bunch of headache to try and decipher from the window.location; especially since the json example looks malformed. And, any work done with the data returned from the ajax call, should occur in the success function.
Here is how iteration worked for this situation. Comments in code -
success: function(response) {
var albums;
// side issue - but I had to clear the div to get a complete refresh
$('#result').empty();
albums = response;
$.each(albums, function(key, value) {
var albumname, li_tag, path;
li_tag = '';
// I found I had to do this parseJSON call otherwise
// I had no correct key/value pair, even though I had set dataType
// to JSON
albumname = jQuery.parseJSON(key);
path = albumname[1];
li_tag += '<li ><a href=/album' + encodeURI(albumname[1]) + '>' + albumname[0] + '</a href></li>';
$('#result').append($(li_tag));
return console.log;
});
Actually, value in the code is just the index number, but I had the actual key/value pair separated by commas, so again the parseJSON seemed to be the only way it would work. This, despite trying things like split and substr. Hope my answer is clear if not I can edit.

I am new to localstorage.I am trying to store json data in one file and retrieving the data in other file.Below is my json data which i have fetched from an url.I have tried storing feeds data using using localstorage now i am tring to fetch the data in other html file.But i am getting only the final object from the feeds.How can i get all the feed objects in other file.

One.html:-(here i am storing all the feeds data)
$.ajax({
url : "https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/9/feeds.json?results=3",
dataType:"json",
cache: false,
error:function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){
debugger;
alert(xhr.statusText);
alert(thrownError);
},
success : function(json1) {
console.log(json1);
json1.feeds.forEach(function(feed, i) {
console.log("\n The deails of " + i + "th Object are : \nCreated_at: " + feed.created_at + "\nEntry_id:" + feed.entry_id + "\nField1:" + feed.field1 + "\nField2:" + feed.field2);
localStorage.setItem('Created_at', feed.created_at);
var create = localStorage.getItem('Created_at');
console.log(create);
localStorage.setItem('Entry_id', feed.entry_id);
var entry = localStorage.getItem('Entry_id');
console.log(entry);
localStorage.setItem('Field1', feed.field1);
var fd1 = localStorage.getItem('Field1');
console.log(fd1);
localStorage.setItem('Field2', feed.field2);
var fd2 = localStorage.getItem('Field2');
console.log(fd2);
});
other.html:(here i am trying to fetch the localstorage data)
<script>
// Called on body's `onload` event
function init() {
// Retrieving the text input's value which was stored into localStorage
var create = localStorage.getItem('Created_at');
console.log(create);
document.writeln("<br>Created_at = "+create);
var entry = localStorage.getItem('Entry_id');
document.writeln("<br>Entry_id = "+entry);
var fd1 = localStorage.getItem('Field1');
document.writeln("<br>Field1 = "+fd1);
var fd2 = localStorage.getItem('Field2');
document.writeln("<br>Field2 = "+fd2);
}
</script>
Because you are over-riding the localStorage item in your for Loop.
The required for loop when simplified looks like:
json1.feeds.forEach(function(feed, i) {
localStorage.setItem('Created_at', feed.created_at); //Gets over-riden on every iteration
localStorage.setItem('Field1', feed.field1);});
That's why after the loop is completed. The Created_at field would only have the value of the most recently processed item in the array i.e. the last element. What you need to is create a corresponding array where each element would correspond to a feed item that you are reading from the API response.
Now, localStorage can simply store key value pairs. It doesn't have support for types like array. What you can do is something on these lines (Untested Code):
json1.feeds.forEach(function(feed, i) {
var feedsArray = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('feedsArray'));
feedsArray.push(feed);
localStorage.setItem('feedsArray',JSON.stringify(feedsArray));
});
Yes, You will have to check if feedsArray key exists or not and set it as an empty array the first time. I have deliberately not put in the entire code as it is quite simple and should be good exercise for you.
So, once you are done and you want to read all the feeds from localStorage. Just get the feedsArray key and parse it and then iterate over it. Put simply, the basic idea is to have a JSON array of feeds and store it as a string with key feedsArray in localStorage.
The code snippet I have given above can get you started toward the solution I propose.

I am making an API request to Wikipedia, and everything seems to work but I can't figure out the meaning for the few lines of code, precisely
var articleTitles = data[1];
var articleUrls = data[3];
I have no idea what do index data[1] and data[3] mean and how do I figure out them on my own. This is from the Udacity tutorial but this was not clarified in detail, I only know it has something to do with the response...
var wikiUrl = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=' + cityStr + '&format=json';
var wikiRequestTimeout = setTimeout(function () {
$wikiElem.text("Failed to get Wikipedia resources");
}, 5000);
$.ajax({
url: wikiUrl,
dataType: 'jsonp'
}).success(function(data) {
var articleTitles = data[1];
var articleUrls = data[3];
$.each(articleTitles, function(i, title) {
$wikiElem.append('<li>' + title + '</li>');
});
/* .error is not built into jsonp
*/
clearTimeout(wikiRequestTimeout); // clear timeout will stop timeout from happening
});
return false;
data is an object you can perceive it as an array (like) structure. It contains other arrays/objects inside of it, and to answer the question data[0] is the first of those child arrays and data[3] is the 4th one (it is a 0 based notation).

I have one ajax request which i use to extract data from API, and create a table from the extracted data. Now i need to do the same, but to extract the data from two different URLs and merge is to the same table (retTable).
Here is my current code (one ajax request):
$.ajax(
{
url : '/url/status',
type: "GET",
success:function(data, textStatus, jqXHR)
{
theRows = extract_status_data(data)
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
alert('error')
}
});
}
function extract_status_data(jsonDataRaw){
jsonResultSect = jsonDataRaw['result']
retTable = ""
for( key in jsonResultSect){
statusParam = jsonResultSect[key]
a = statusParam['a']
b = statusParam['b']
c = statusParam['c']
d = statusParam['d']
e = statusParam['e']
retTable += "<tr><td>" + dropDownList(key) + "</td><td>" + key + "</td><td>" + a + "</td><td>" + b + "</td><td>" + c + "</td><td>" + d + "</td><td>" + e + "</td></tr>"
}
return retTable
}
How would be correct to combine the data from two different URLs? Please advise.
I can't hammer out a really robust solution right now, but here is what I came up with: https://jsfiddle.net/heejse8h/
Basically the principal is that you place all the URLs in an array and keep a flag variable incrementing for every url you pull from. This might look like this:
urls = [
'/url/status',
'/url/status2'
];
var i = 0;
Then when you execute the AJAX, you'll want to store that in some array
var result = [];
For my AJAX call in the jsfiddle, I used this basic structure
$.ajax({
url : urls[i],
type: "GET",
success: function(data) {
// simplified example of storing the results
// the example code from the fiddle is more
// involved.
result[key].push(data);
if(urls[++i] !== undefined){
// if there is another URL, use the same
// ajax object (using `this`), extend it,
// changing only the URL, and call it.
// the important part is that the `this`
// object has a reference to the currently
// executing `success` method.
$.ajax($.extend(this, {url: urls[i]}));
} else {
// otherwise, we're at the end of our URLs
// and we can focus on final formatting and
// display of the data.
for( key in result ){
$('#mytable').append("<tr><td>" + dropDownList(key) + "</td><td>" + key + "</td>" + result[key].join('') + "</tr>");
}
}
}
});
In the end I would have liked to flesh this out and use the DOM API to actually create nodes rather than constant concatenation, but this solution already diverges from the original code quite a bit. You might want to consider creating a function that parses an object rather than relies on concatenation.
I have made an account and have my api key currently i just want a simple search box and button that when hit will list the game and the image of that game
Have linked the site info below

This is a working search now some what does not allow the user to enter in a new value and there is a problem bring up the image
two main problems wont load the image just says undefined and cant figure out how to make it a full search only when he user enters a new title

GiantBomb Api example/explanation
First get your api key
Key: http://www.giantbomb.com/api/
Documentation: http://www.giantbomb.com/api/documentation
Your base url:
http://www.giantbomb.com/api/
Your url structure:
/RESOURCE?api_key=[YOUR_API_KEY]&format=json/FILTERS/FIELDS
/RESOURCE/ID example: /game/3030-38206/
The type of resource you which to return, in your case a search. Sometimes.. in case of a specific game you also want to pass in the ID under /ID (like in the example)
api_key
Your api key
You need this otherwise you cannot use the api :)
format
The format you which to output, in this case json.
FILTERS example: /search?limit=100
This manipulates the resourses output
See under the resources in the documentation for a what you can do.
FIELDS example: /search?field_list=description,
Which field to return, use this to "reduce the size of the response payload"
A game request for it's name & description would be:
http://www.giantbomb.com/api/game/3030-38206/?api_key=[YOUR-API-KEY]&format=json&field_list=name,description
A search request
Lets say we want to search for the game "Elder scroll online".
You would construct your url like this:
/search/?api_key=[YOUR-API-KEY]&format=json&query="elder scrolls online"&resources=game
To implement this in with $.ajax:
The ajax function
/*
* Send a get request to the Giant bomb api.
* #param string resource set the RESOURCE.
* #param object data specifiy any filters or fields.
* #param object callbacks specify any custom callbacks.
*/
function sendRequest(resource, data, callbacks) {
var baseURL = 'http://giantbomb.com/api';
var apiKey = '[YOUR-API-KEY]';
var format = 'json';
// make sure data is an empty object if its not defined.
data = data || {};
// Proccess the data, the ajax function escapes any characters like ,
// So we need to send the data with the "url:"
var str, tmpArray = [], filters;
$.each(data, function(key, value) {
str = key + '=' + value;
tmpArray.push(str);
});
// Create the filters if there were any, else it's an empty string.
filters = (tmpArray.length > 0) ? '&' + tmpArray.join('&') : '';
// Create the request url.
var requestURL = baseURL + resource + "?api_key=" + apiKey + "&format=" + format + filters;
// Set custom callbacks if there are any, otherwise use the default onces.
// Explanation: if callbacks.beforesend is passend in the argument callbacks, then use it.
// If not "||"" set an default function.
var callbacks = callbacks || {};
callbacks.beforeSend = callbacks.beforeSend || function(response) {};
callbacks.success = callbacks.success || function(response) {};
callbacks.error = callbacks.error || function(response) {};
callbacks.complete = callbacks.complete || function(response) {};
// the actual ajax request
$.ajax({
url: requestURL,
method: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
// Callback methods,
beforeSend: function() {
callbacks.beforeSend()
},
success: function(response) {
callbacks.success(response);
},
error: function(response) {
callbacks.error(response);
},
complete: function() {
callbacks.complete();
}
});
}
search function
function search() {
// Get your text box input, something like:
// You might want to put a validate and sanitation function before sending this to the ajax function.
var searchString = $('.textox').val();
// Set the fields or filters
var data = {
query: searchString,
resources: 'game'
};
// Send the ajax request with to '/search' resource and with custom callbacks
sendRequest('/search', data, {
// Custom callbacks, define here what you want the search callbacks to do when fired.
beforeSend: function(data) {},
success: function(data) {},
error: function(data) {},
complete: function(data) {},
});
}
Example of a get game function
function getGame() {
// get game id from somewhere like a link.
var gameID = '3030-38206';
var resource = '/game/' + gameID;
// Set the fields or filters
var data = {
field_list: 'name,description'
};
// No custom callbacks defined here, just use the default onces.
sendRequest(resource, data);
}
EDIT: you could also make a mini api wrapper out of this, something like:
var apiWrapper = {};
apiWrapper.request = function(resource, data, callbacks) {
// The get function;
};
apiWrapper.search = function(data) {
// The search function
};
apiWrapper.getGame = function(id, data) {
// The game function
}
apiWrapper.init = function(config) {
var config = config || {};
this.apiKey = config.apiKey || false;
this.baseURL = config.baseURL || 'http://api.giantbomb.com';
}
apiWrapper.init({
apiKey: '[API-KEY]'
});
Have not tested the code, so there might be a bug in it, will clean it up tommorow :)
Edit: fixed a bug in $.ajax
I have code, which get json file from server and then render some if its elements on the page. In this code i also skip items with duplicate value of key "points". My question is, how do i make these skipped items to store somewhere, so if i click on item that has duplicate, it would link me to some other page with list of these duplicates?
Here is my code
var request = $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "example.com/rewards.json"
dataType: "json",
error: function (data, textStatus){
console.log( "it`s error" );
console.log( status );
console.log( data );},
success: function (data, textStatus){
console.log( "success" );
console.log( status );
console.log( data );
}
})
request.success(function(data, textStatus){
var lis = "";
var arr = [];
var iter = 0;
$.each(data.rewards, function(key, val){
if ($.inArray(val.points, arr) == -1)
{
lis += "<div class = 'ui-block-" + String.fromCharCode(97 + iter%3) + "'><a href ='#' class ='ui-link-inherit'>" + val.points + "</a></div>";
arr.push(val.points);
iter += 1;
}
});
$("#rewards_table").html(lis);
})
Description of what i want might be a little confusable, so feel free to ask me anything
You just do exactly that: Store them somewhere for use later.
For example, put this line at the top of your code:
var duplicates = [];
...and add this else to the if inside your $.each iterator function:
else
{
duplicates.push(val.points);
}
(I think I got your bracing style right there, a bit alien to me. :-) )
The above assumes all of your code is held in some kind of containing function, to avoid creating globals, and so duplicates (like your existing request variable) won't end up becoming a global.
