I am trying to get ember.run.bind to work but it just doesn't seem to work, any idea? I have tried all combinations
_didInsertElement: Ember.on('didInsertElement', function () {
Ember.run.bind(this, this.doSomething);
})
or
_didInsertElement: Ember.on('didInsertElement', function () {
Ember.run.bind(this, function() {
this.doSomething();
});
})
or
_didInsertElement: Ember.on('didInsertElement', function () {
var _this = this;
Ember.run.bind(this, function() {
_this.doSomething();
});
})
Ember.run.bind() returns a function that you can then call. It's meant for some asynchronous execution, so it doesn't expect to be called immediately, in the case of calling it immediately, it's unlikely you would need to use bind.
var func = Ember.run.bind(this, this.doSomething);
func();

I have this Try class:
function Try () {
console.log('Start')
this.Something( function() {
console.log('asd')
this.Some()
})
}
Try.prototype.Something = function (callback) {
console.log('hi all')
callback()
}
Try.prototype.Some = function () {
console.log('dsa')
}
But when I try to call the Some method in the callback part, it gives me an error, which says this.Some is not a function. What is the problem? How can i fix this?
scope of this is different inside a different function, even if it is inner function
you need to preserve this of outer function in self and make it
function Try () {
console.log('Start')
var self = this;
self.Something( function() {
console.log('asd')
self.Some();
})
}
The documentation for deferred.then() states that doneCallbacks is A function, or array of functions, called when the Deferred is resolved.
When I write either .then(new Array(getData2, showDiv)) or .then([getData2, showDiv])
none of them are called.
What is the correct syntax?
Update
Should the syntax for array be .then(new Array(getData2(), showDiv())) or .then([getData2(), showDiv()]) with parenthesis?

This seems to be might be a bug in jQuery.
A simple workaround;
var CallbackHandler = (function () {
var callbacks = [];
return {
'add': function (fn) {
callbacks.push(fn);
return this;
},
'executor': function () {
var calledBy = this;
$.each(callbacks, function () {
this.call(calledBy);
});
}
};
})();
CallbackHandler
.add(function () {
// first callback
})
.add(function () {
// second callback
});
// Called as:
$.when({a: 1})
.then(CallbackHandler.executor);
I have assigned 5000 ms to Settimeout but it is executing before assigned time interval.Can any body explain why it is happening.
<script type="text/javascript">
var getcallback = {
closure: function (callback, functionparam) {
return callback.call(functionparam);
}
}
var cleartimeout;
var startSlideShow = {
timerid: 5000,
startAnimation: function () {
cleartimeout = setTimeout(getcallback.closure(function () {
alert("this is a basic example of chaining methods");
this.startAnimation();
},this), this.timerid);
},
stopAnimation:function(){
}
}
startSlideShow.startAnimation();
</script>
Because getcallback.closure() is executing the function right away, you are not storing a reference to a function to call at a later time.
As soon as you call startAnimation, you're calling getcallback.closure, which immediately calls the callback function. To use setTimeout correctly, you need to either have closure return a function, or not use such a strange thing, and instead just use an anonymous function.
Something along the lines of:
var getcallback = {
closure: function (callback, functionparam) {
return function() {
callback.call(functionparam);
};
}
}
...
Or, to be cleaner, just:
var cleartimeout;
var startSlideShow = {
timerid: 5000,
startAnimation: function () {
cleartimeout = setTimeout(function () {
alert("this is a basic example of chaining methods");
this.startAnimation();
}, this.timerid);
},
stopAnimation:function(){
}
}
startSlideShow.startAnimation();
this.remove() is not a function. How come?
var vehicle = function () {
return {
init: function () {
jQuery('.vehicle-year-profile .options .delete').bind('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
this.remove();
});
},
remove: function () {
alert('test');
}
}
}();
jQuery().ready(vehicle.init);
Sorry for the confusion. I'm trying to call my own "remove" function. This is simply a class to manage vehicles on my page. This is the beginning of it and it will have a lot more functions than just init/remove.
this is a DOM element. To use jQuery's .remove() method, you need to wrap it in a jQuery object.
$(this).remove();
EDIT: If you were hoping to call the remove() function in the vehicle object, then call:
vehicle.remove();
Also, if you were hoping to shorten your .ready() call, you can do this:
jQuery(vehicle.init);
From the jQuery 1.4 release notes:
The jQuery().ready() technique still works in 1.4 but it has been deprecated. Please use either jQuery(document).ready() or jQuery(function(){}).
Maybe you're looking for something like this?
var vehicle = new function () {
var self = this;
this.init = function () {
jQuery('.vehicle-year-profile .options .delete').bind('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
self.remove();
});
};
this.remove = function () {
alert('test');
};
};
...or like this maybe? It's kind of hard to tell what you're going for...
var vehicle = new function () {
function remove () {
alert('test');
}
this.init = function () {
jQuery('.vehicle-year-profile .options .delete').bind('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
remove.call(this);
});
};
};
Note - we're all somewhat confused because it's not clear which "remove" function you want to call.
The problem is that you're passing in the reference to the "init" function, but when it's called the "this" variable will refer to the window object, not the value of "vehicle". Why? Because in Javascript the "this" value depends only on how a function is called. The fact that two functions are defined in the same object has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Try doing this instead:
jQuery(function() {
vehicle.init();
});
When you call the "init" function that way — by explicitly referencing it as a property of the "vehicle" object — then Javascript will bind "this" to the value of "vehicle".
edit oh wait I just noticed that you're also going to have to revise your "init" function, because that code inside the "click" handler is going to be called by jQuery in such a way as to bind "this" in that context to the affected element. Thus if you want to keep the "vehicle" reference around, you'd do this:
init: function () {
var originalThis = this;
jQuery('.vehicle-year-profile .options .delete').bind('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
originalThis.remove();
});
},
Since you said you're trying to call your own remove function, here's how to do it:
var vehicle = (function () {
return {
init: function () {
var that = this; // step one
jQuery('.vehicle-year-profile .options .delete').bind('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
that.remove();
});
},
remove: function () {
alert('test');
}
}
}()); // step zero - wrap the immediate invocation in parens
jQuery(function () {
vehicle.init(); // step two
);
var vehicle = function () {
return {
init: function () {
var self = this;
jQuery('.vehicle-year-profile .options .delete').bind('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
self.remove();
});
},
remove: function () {
alert('test');
}
}
}();
jQuery().ready(function() {
vehicle.init();
});
When invoking a function as a method "this" refers to the object that is invoking it. In jQuery the function passed is invoked as a method of the html element so "this" becomes the element.
To make sure you are refering to the correct object you'll need to create a reference to the original object.
var vehicle = function () {
var that = {
init: function () {
jQuery('.vehicle-year-profile .options .delete').bind('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
that.remove();
});
},
remove: function () {
alert('test');
}
}
return that;
}();
jQuery().ready(vehicle.init);
var Test = (function() {
return {
useSub: function () {
this.Sub.sayHi();
},
init: function () {
$(document).ready(this.useSub);
}
};
})();
Test.Sub = (function () {
return {
sayHi: function () {
alert('hi');
}
};
})();
Test.useSub(); // works
Test.init(); // explodes
Above I am trying to create a Test namespace and add an object Sub to it. I was doing fine until I tried using the object in jQuery. The error is "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'sayHi' of undefined". If there is a better way to do this, I am open to it.
Edit:
Obviously this was demo code. In my real application the solution that I went with because I think it is the most clear is this one:
var Namespace (function () {
return {
init: function () {
$(document).ready(function() {
Namespace.onReady();
}
},
onReady: function() {
alert('Now I am back in the Namespace scope. Proceed as planned');
}
};
})();
Edit2: All jQuery callbacks seem to require they are used in this manner or else the scoping is screwed up.
I think it is a scope problem. If you do
$(document).ready(this.useSub);
then this.useSub will be executed in the window scope (so inside the function, this refers to the window object) and there doesn't exist a Sub attribute.
Try:
init: function () {
var obj = this;
$(function(){obj.useSub()});
}
For some reason it does not work using $(document).ready(function(){obj.useSub()}); but it works with the $() shortcut.
Here is one way
var Test = {
useSub : function () {
Test.Sub.sayHi();
},
init: function () {
$(document).ready(Test.useSub);
},
Sub: {
sayHi: function () {
alert('hi');
}
}
};
in this line:
$(document).ready(this.useSub);
you're passing a reference to a function and the scope is lost- when the function runs, this no longer means Test.
