extjs combo box getCount() on store returns 0

I am trying to get the number of items in the combo box so that I can make the first value by default visible in the combo box using the getCount() method but I see it always return 0 so cannot get the first item to be displayed in the combo box.
Code for my combo box is as shown below:
Ext.define('something....', {
controller: 'some Controller',
initComponent: function() {
var me,
me = this;
me.items = [{
xtype: 'form',
items: [{
xtype: 'combo',
itemId: 'nameId',
name:'nameId',
labelAlign: 'top',
fieldLabel: 'Name',
store: me._getNames(),
//disabled:some condition?true:false,//doesn't gray out combo
valueField:'dataId',
displayField: 'firstName',
editable: false,
listeners:{
afterrender: function(combo,component) {
var combo = me.down('#nameId');
var nameStore = combo.getStore();
var setFirstRecord = function(combo){
var nameStore = combo.getStore();
if(nameStore.getCount() === 1){
combo.setValue(nameStore.getAt(0));
}
}
if(nameStore.isLoaded() === false){
nameStore.on('load', function(nameStore){
setFirstRecord(combo);
},this,{
single:true
});
}else{
setFirstRecord(nameStore);
}
},
}
}]
}];
}
Code for the store is as below:
_getNames: function (){
var nameStore = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
autoLoad: true,
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
url: 'name.json',
reader: {
type: 'json',
rootProperty:'items',
transform: function (data) {
var data = {
items: [{
dataId: data[0].dataId,
firstName: data[0].name.firstName,
nameDetails: data[0].nameDetails
}]
}
return data;
}
},
},
fields: ['dataId', 'firstName','nameDetails']
});
return namesStore;
}
})
The result returned from the api to populate the store is as follows:
[
{
"dataId":1,
"name":{
"dataId":1,
"firstName":"Julie",
"code":"10",
"connectionList":[
"EMAIL"
]
},
"nameDetails":{
"EMAIL":{
"dataId":1,
"detail":"EMAIL"
}
}
}
]
Any suggestions on what's missing would be great!

I am written that example for you in Sencha Fiddle: https://fiddle.sencha.com/#view/editor&fiddle/3cdl
That solve your problem:
combo.getStore().on("load",
function (store, records, successful, operation, eOpts) {
if (store.getData().length > 0)
combo.setValue(store.getData().get(0).getData().id)
},
this
)

You must check if store is loaded or not and write appropriate code:
...
...
xtype: 'combo',
itemId: 'nameId',
name: 'nameId',
labelAlign: 'top',
fieldLabel: 'Name',
store: this._getNames(),
valueField: 'dataId',
displayField: 'firstName',
editable: false,
listeners: {
afterrender: function (combo) {
var store = combo.getStore();
var setFirstRecord = function (combo) {
var store = combo.getStore();
if (store.getCount() === 1) {
combo.setValue(store.getAt(0));
}
}
if (store.isLoaded() === false) {
store.on('load', function (store) {
setFirstRecord(combo);
}, this, {
single: true
});
} else {
setFirstRecord(combo);
}
}
}
...

Datatables date sort vs date display

I am using Datatables to display a table and I am pulling a list of datestimes from a MySQL database. These date times are not standard dates and look like this:
12/30/19 # 04:17 pm
How can I sort these accurately with Datatables?
Here is my code:
getRes(function (result) { // APPLIED CALLBACK
$('#resdatatable').DataTable({
data: result, // YOUR RESULT
order: [[ 0, "desc" ]],
autoWidth: false,
responsive: true,
columns: [
{ data: 'id', title: 'ID' },
{ data: 'bookingdatetime', title: 'Booking Date' },
{ data: 'name', title: 'Name' },
{ data: 'class', title: 'Class' },
{ data: 'pickupdatetime', title: 'Pick up' },
{ data: 'duration', title: 'Duration' },
{ data: 'dropdatetime', title: 'Drop off' },
{ data: 'age', title: 'Age' },
{ data: 'coverage', title: 'Coverage' },
{ data: 'quote', title: 'Quote' },
{
data: 'status',
title: 'Status',
render: function(data, type, row) {
let isKnown = statusList.filter(function(k) { return k.id === data; }).length > 0;
if (isKnown) {
return $('<select id="resstatus'+row.id+'" onchange="changeResStatus('+row.id+')" data-previousvalue="'+row.status+'">', {
id: 'resstatus-' + row.id, // custom id
value: data
}).append(statusList.map(function(knownStatus) {
let $option = $('<option>', {
text: knownStatus.text,
value: knownStatus.id
});
if (row.status === knownStatus.id) {
$option.attr('selected', 'selected');
}
return $option;
})).on('change', function() {
changeresstatus(row.id); // Call change with row ID
}).prop('outerHTML');
} else {
return data;
}
}
}
]
});
});
/**
* jQuery plugin to convert text in a cell to a dropdown
*/
(function($) {
$.fn.createDropDown = function(items) {
let oldTxt = this.text();
let isKnown = items.filter(function(k) { return k.id === oldTxt; }).length > 0;
if (isKnown) {
this.empty().append($('<select>').append(items.map(function(item) {
let $option = $('<option>', {
text: item.text,
value: item.id
});
if (item.id === oldTxt) {
$option.attr('selected', 'selected');
}
return $option;
})));
}
return this;
};
})(jQuery);
// If you remove the renderer above and change this to true,
// you can call this, but it will run once...
if (false) {
$('#resdatatable > tbody tr').each(function(i, tr) {
$(tr).find('td').last().createDropDown(statusList);
});
}
function getStatusList() {
return [{
id: 'Confirmed',
text: 'Confirmed'
}, {
id: 'Unconfirmed',
text: 'Unconfirmed'
}, {
id: 'Communicating',
text: 'Communicating'
}, {
id: 'Open',
text: 'Open'
}, {
id: 'Closed',
text: 'Closed'
}, {
id: 'Canceled',
text: 'Canceled'
}, {
id: 'Reallocated',
text: 'Reallocated'
}, {
id: 'No Show',
text: 'No Show'
}];
}
I need to sort bookingdatetime, pickupdatetime, dropdatetime accurately (they are currently being converted into MM/DD/YY in the PHP script)

Maybe you can prepend hidden <span> elements containing the respective unix timestamps in the cells that have dates (by manually parsing the dates). Then using such columns to sort alphabetically would practically sort time-wise.

jQuery dataTable not showing data by default

I have a jquery DataTable as
html page
<div id="content">
</div>
js code
(function ($) {
'use strict';
var module = {
addTable: function () {
var output = '<table id="table1"></table>';
$('#content').append('<p></p>' + output);
var data = [];
data = this.getData();
$('#table1').dataTable({
"data": data,
"columns": [
{
"title": 'Name',
mDataProp: 'name',
width: '20%'
},
{
"title": 'Company',
mDataProp: 'company'
},
{
"title": 'Salary',
mDataProp: 'salary'
}],
'scrollY': '400px',
'scrollCollapse': false,
'paging': false
});
},
getData: function () {
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
var obj = {
name: 'John',
company: 'XYZ',
salary: '$XYZ'
};
arr.push(obj);
}
return arr;
}
};
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#content').append('Loading....');
module.addTable();
});
})(jQuery);
On initial load, it shows an empty table. Data comes after performing some search. How to show the data by default on initial load?

This is due to javascripts asynchronicity. getData() is not finished at the time of the dataTable initialization. You could make some refactoring, so getData invokes addTable as a callback instead.
var module = {
addTable: function (data) {
var output = '<table id="table1"></table>';
$('#content').append('<p></p>' + output);
$('#table1').dataTable({
"data": data,
"columns": [
{
"title": 'Name',
mDataProp: 'name',
width: '20%'
},
{
"title": 'Company',
mDataProp: 'company'
},
{
"title": 'Salary',
mDataProp: 'salary'
}],
'scrollY': '400px',
'scrollCollapse': false,
'paging': false
});
},
getData: function (callback) {
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
var obj = {
name: 'John',
company: 'XYZ',
salary: '$XYZ'
};
arr.push(obj);
}
return callback(arr);
},
init : function() {
this.getData(this.addTable);
}
};
...
module.init();
init() calls getData(callback) with addTable as param, addTable have had the param data added.
demo -> http://jsfiddle.net/bLzaepok/
I assume your getData code is only per example, and you are using AJAX (or whatever) IRL. Call the callback in the callback :
getData: function (callback) {
$.ajax({
...
success : function(data) {
callback(data);
}
});
}

Kendo UI Grid with custom resize event won't display detail template in Internet Explorer

I have a Kendo UI Grid that displays n-child records, that I also have a custom resize function that keeps the grid sized for the browser window height. If I remove that resizeListener, the child records display as appropriate. If I have the resizeListener bound, the child records do not display.
This issue is specific to Internet Explorer 8 (sorry, it's a company policy limitation). The grid functions normally in Firefox.
I have tried using $(window).off("resize") when I activate the child template, in the databound, and in really a variety of random places that I thought might possibly work - but nothing so far.
I'm looking for a solution or a work-around for IE.
Here is the function:
function resizeGrid() {
var gridElement = $("#boxesgrid");
var dataArea = gridElement.find(".k-grid-content");
var newGridHeight = $(document).height() > 850 ? 850 : $(document).height() * .75;
var newDataAreaHeight = newGridHeight * .7;
dataArea.height(newDataAreaHeight);
gridElement.height(newGridHeight);
gridElement.data("kendoGrid").refresh();
}
var resizeListener = function () {
$(window).one("resize", function () {
resizeGrid();
setTimeout(resizeListener, 500);
});
};
Here is the html:
<div class="col-md-2">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">Line of Business</div>
<div class="panel-body" id="lobnav"></div>
</div>
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">Application</div>
<div class="panel-body" id="lobapp"></div>
</div>
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">Filter</div>
<div class="panel-body" id="jobfilter">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-10">
<div id="boxesgrid"></div>
</div>
Here is the rest of the javascript/kendo code:
$(document).ready(function () {
resizeListener();
var isParent, appId, lobId, boxId;
var apiUrl = '#ViewBag.ApiUrl';
var lobDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

var gridOptions = {};
if (moreChildren) {
gridOptions = $.extend({}, gridBaseOptions, { detailInit: detailInit });
} else {
gridOptions = gridBaseOptions;
};
$("<div/>").appendTo(e.detailCell).kendoGrid(gridOptions);
};
});

The resize function needed to be changed. The error was calling refresh on the grid, rather than resize. The corrected function looks like:
function resizeGrid() {
var gridElement = $("#boxesgrid");
var newGridHeight = $(window).height() > 800 ? 800 : $(document).height() * .75;
gridElement.height(newGridHeight);
gridElement.data("kendoGrid").resize();
}
Setting the data area separately was incorrect, as well.

exjts hide column if all cells of the column are empty

I am trying to hide the column if all the cells in the column are empty. I am trying to do this in the column listener by iterating through the store but I guess the store isnt populated at that time. any suggestions to achieve this functionality?
Ext.define('com.abc.MyGrid' , {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
store : 'MyStore',
columns : [{
text : 'col1',
sortable : true,
dataIndex : 'col1'
}, {
text : 'col2 ',
sortable : true,
dataIndex : 'col2',
listeners:{
"beforerender": function(){
console.log(this.up('grid').store);
this.up('grid').store.each(function(record,idx){
// if all are null for record.get('col1')
// hide the column
console.log(record.get('col1'));
});
}
}
}
})
But this is isnt working. Basically the store loop in the column listener "before render" is not executing where as the above console(this.up('grid').store) prints the store with values.

Here you go, it doesn't handle everything but should be sufficient.
Ext.define('HideColumnIfEmpty', {
extend: 'Ext.AbstractPlugin',
alias: 'plugin.hideColumnIfEmpty',
mixins: {
bindable: 'Ext.util.Bindable'
},
init: function(grid) {
this.grid = grid;
this._initStates();
this.grid.on('reconfigure', this._initStates, this);
},
_initStates: function(store, columns) {
var store = this.grid.getStore(),
columns = this.grid.columns;
this.bindStore(store);
this.columns = columns;
if(store.getCount() > 0) {
this._maybeHideColumns();
}
},
/**
*#implement
*/
getStoreListeners: function() {
return {
load: this._maybeHideColumns
};
},
_maybeHideColumns: function() {
var columns = this.columns,
store = this.store,
columnKeysMc = new Ext.util.MixedCollection();
Ext.Array.forEach(columns, function(column) {
columnKeysMc.add(column.dataIndex, column);
});
Ext.Array.some(store.getRange(),function(record){
//don't saw off the branch you are sitting on
//eachKey does not clone
var keysToRemove = [];
columnKeysMc.eachKey(function(key) {
if(!Ext.isEmpty(record.get(key))) {
keysToRemove.push(key);
}
});
Ext.Array.forEach(keysToRemove, function(k) {
columnKeysMc.removeAtKey(k);
});
return columnKeysMc.getCount() === 0;
});
columnKeysMc.each(function(column) {
column.hide();
});
}
});
Here is an example:
Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
storeId:'simpsonsStore',
fields:['name', 'email', 'phone'],
data:{'items':[
{ 'name': 'Lisa', "email":"lisa#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-111-1224" },
{ 'name': 'Bart', "email":"bart#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-222-1234" },
{ 'name': 'Homer', "email":"home#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-222-1244" },
{ 'name': 'Marge', "email":"marge#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-222-1254" }
]},
proxy: {
type: 'memory',
reader: {
type: 'json',
root: 'items'
}
}
});
Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {
title: 'Simpsons',
store: Ext.data.StoreManager.lookup('simpsonsStore'),
columns: [
{ text: 'Name', dataIndex: 'name' },
{ text: 'Email', dataIndex: 'email', flex: 1 },
{ text: 'Phone', dataIndex: 'phone' },
{ text: 'Says Doh', dataIndex: 'saysDoh'}
],
plugins: {ptype: 'hideColumnIfEmpty'},
height: 200,
width: 400,
renderTo: Ext.getBody()
});
You can see in the example that saysDoh column is hidden.

If you want to iterate over the store, you need to put a listener on the load event of your store. The beforerender doesn't mean that your store is already loaded.
I would put the creation of you store in the initComponent. Something like this:
Ext.define('com.abc.MyGrid', {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
columns: [{
text: 'col1',
sortable: true,
dataIndex: 'col1'
}, {
text: 'col2 ',
sortable: true,
dataIndex: 'col2'
},
initComponent: function () {
var me = this;
//Create store
var myStore = Ext.create('MyStore');
myStore.load(); // You can remove this if autoLoad: true on your store.
//Listen to load event (fires when loading has completed)
myStore.on({
load: function (store, records, success) {
store.each(function (record, idx) {
console.log(record.get('col1'));
});
}
});
//Apply the store to your grid
Ext.apply(me, {
store: myStore
});
me.callParent();
}
});
