I'm trying to reset data attributes after an animation and am running through some trouble applying the technique from answer 2 of this post.
Not sure what I'm missing here. Seems theoretically feasible to say for each data attribute, etc.
UPDATE:
Worth mentioning that the data keys are all different. E.g. data-1="abc", data-2="abc", etc, hence the need for a for loop that simply looks for data attributes.
HTML
var total = 0;
$.each($('*').data(), function(key, value) {
if (key){
var thiis = $(this);
total += key;
thiis.removeData();
thiis.data(total, value);
}
});
Boom, got it. The script has a lot of overhead, so running it in an instance that a user will wait through isn't an option, IMO. You could improve it with specificity instead of the * selector.
JavaScript (jQuery):
var counter = 1; // not necessary for your implementation, using it to adjust numeric data keys
$('*').each(function(){ // query all selectors and run through a loop
var thiis = $(this),
dataAttr = thiis.data(),
i;
if (dataAttr) { // if the element has data (regardless of attribute)
var newAttrs = []; // for the element's new data values
$.each(dataAttr, function(key, value) { // loop through each data object
var newKey = key + counter, // calculate new data key
newAttr = [newKey, value]; // push the new data set
newAttrs.push(newAttr); // push to elements new attributes array
thiis
.removeData(key) // remove the data
.removeAttr('data-' + key); // remvoe the attribute (unnecessary)
});
for (i = 0; i < newAttrs.length; i++) { // for each new attribute
thiis.data(newAttrs[i][0], newAttrs[i][1]); // add the data
thiis.attr('data-' + newAttrs[i][0], newAttrs[i][1]); // add the attribute (unnecessary)
}
}
});

I'm creating a document merge (mail merge) from Google App Maker to a Google Document template. I can do so successfully when merging one single record, but how do you merge several records into the one document?
I have an purchase_orders parent record which has several purchase_order_line_items child records but I can't seem to get all of these records into a single document merge.
A similar question (Document Merge with Google App Maker) was asked by by Johan W with a comprehensive answer by Markus Malessa and Pavel Shkleinik (thank you!). However, it only caters for cases when you are merging one single record.
I have tried to build on their answer by using a second for loop to get the data of all associated child records. The script runs but only seems to merge the first child record; not all of them.
Here is an example of the server-side code I've tried to use:
function Export(key, key2) {
// Get the parent record by its key, which was passed by the first parameter above
var record = app.models.Purchase_Orders.getRecord(key);
// Get the first child record by its key, which was passed by the second parameter above
var childRecord = app.models.Purchase_Order_Line_Items.getRecord(key2);
// Get the Google Document which will be used as a template for this merge
var templateId = '1Xbt8camqHJYrhBnx0a6G2-RvTvybqU0PclHifcdiLLA';
//Set the filename of the new merge document to be created
var filename = 'Document for Customer ' + new Date();
//Make a copy of the template to use as the merge document
var copyFile = DriveApp.getFileById(templateId).makeCopy(filename);
//Get the Google Docs ID of the newly created merge document
var copyDoc = DocumentApp.openById(copyFile.getId());
var copyBody = copyDoc.getBody();
// Replace the field names in the template with the field data from the parent record
var fields = app.metadata.models.Purchase_Orders.fields;
for (var i in fields) {
console.log(i);
var text = '<<' + fields[i].name + '>>';
var data = record[fields[i].name];
if (data !== null) {
copyBody.replaceText(text, data);
} else {
// do nothing
}
}
// Replace the field names in the template with the field data from the child records
childFields = app.metadata.models.Purchase_Order_Line_Items.fields;
for (i in childFields) {
console.log(i);
var childtext = '<<' + childFields[i].name + '>>';
var childdata = childRecord[childFields[i].name];
if (childdata !== null) {
copyBody.replaceText(childtext, childdata);
} else {
// do nothing
}
}
}
How can I improve my code so that all associated child records are merged into a single document?
How can I set up my Google Document template to cater for any number of child records?
Rather than passing in the child record key via a second parameter, I would suggest just passing in the parent key and then changing your function as follows:
function Export(key) {
// Get the parent record by its key, which was passed by the first parameter above
var record = app.models.Purchase_Orders.getRecord(key);
// Get the first child record by its key, which was passed by the second parameter above
var childRecords = record.Purchase_Order_Line_Items;
// Get the Google Document which will be used as a template for this merge
var templateId = '1Xbt8camqHJYrhBnx0a6G2-RvTvybqU0PclHifcdiLLA';
//Set the filename of the new merge document to be created
var filename = 'Document for Customer ' + new Date();
//Make a copy of the template to use as the merge document
var copyFile = DriveApp.getFileById(templateId).makeCopy(filename);
//Get the Google Docs ID of the newly created merge document
var copyDoc = DocumentApp.openById(copyFile.getId());
var copyBody = copyDoc.getBody();
// Replace the field names in the template with the field data from the parent record
var fields = app.metadata.models.Purchase_Orders.fields;
for (var i in fields) {
console.log(i);
var text = '<<' + fields[i].name + '>>';
var data = record[fields[i].name];
if (data !== null) {
copyBody.replaceText(text, data);
} else {
// do nothing
}
}
// Replace the field names in the template with the field data from the child records
var childFields = app.metadata.models.Purchase_Order_Line_Items.fields;
var table = [];
var tableheader = [];
for (i in childFields) {
console.log(i);
tableheader.push(childFields[i].displayName);
}
table.push(tableheader);
for (i in childRecords) {
var data = [];
for (var j in childFields) {
data.push(childRecords[i][childFields[j].name]);
}
table.push(data);
}
copyBody.appendTable(table);
The table building is based on a 2D array and the documentation is here https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/document/table. But you will also need to remove your prebuilt table in favor of just appending a table instead. This way you are not dependent on the quantity of child records being fixed like they currently are in your document template. Also, the variable for childRecords may or may not work, I have not tested this since I am unsure if prefetch works in conjunction with .getRecord(key). This may require some additional testing but hopefully this will provide enough guidance.
Thought I would add this as an alternative. Lets say you keep your table but remove all the rows with exception for the header row then you could still use DocumentApp service to add your rows to the table like so:
var tableheaderfieldnames = ['Quantity_for_PO', 'Inventory_Item.id', 'Unit_Price']; //set a fixed table header with the field names, uncertain if the table header for the related inventory item will work or not
var table = copyBody.getTables()[0];
for (i in childRecords) {
var row = table.appendRow();
for (var j in tableheaderfieldnames) {
row.appendTableCell(childRecords[i][tableheaderfieldnames[j]]);
}
}
Keep in mind that AM does not allow you to use FK references, so for your inventory item that appears to use a fk field you may need to tinker around with setting the proper name reference for when you are trying to fill in the item in your table.
I'm having an issue pulling the correct values out of a for loop in Google Sheets.
Here's my code:
Note: this is a snippet from a larger function
function sendEmails() {
var trackOriginSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getName();
var getMirSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Miranda");
//Set a new object to hold conditional data
var holdingData = new Object();
//Create function to get values from origin sheet
var returnedValues = function (trackOriginSheet) {
//Load dynamic variables into an object via returnedValues()
if (trackOriginSheet === getMirSheet) {
var startMirRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRowsMir = 506; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:Z506
var dataRangeMir = getMirSheet.getRange(startMirRow, 1, numRowsMir, 26);
// Fetch values for each cell in the Range.
var dataMir = dataRangeMir.getValues();
for (var k in dataMir) {
var secondRowMir = dataMir[k];
var intRefDescMir = secondRowMir[3];
var intAdminActionsMir = secondRowMir[4];
//Push returned data to holdingData Object
holdingData.selectedData = secondRowMir;
holdingData.refDesc = intRefDescMir;
holdingData.adminActions = intAdminActionsMir;
}
}
}
Here's a copy of the sheet I'm working on
What I need to have happened here first, is track the origin sheet, then create an object to hold data returned from the returnedValues() function. Later, I'll call the properties of this object into a send email function.
The problem is that I need to be able to pull data from the selected sheet dynamically (the "Miranda" sheet in this case.) In other words, when a user selects the "Yes" option in column I of the Miranda sheet, the first thing this script needs to do is pull the values of the variables at the top of the for loop within the same row that the user selected "Yes." Then, I'm pushing that data to a custom object to be called later.
It's apparent to me, that I'm doing it wrong. There's, at least, something wrong with my loop. What have I done? :)
EDIT:
After reviewing the suggestion by VyTautas, here's my attempt at a working loop:
for (var k = 0; k < dataMir.length; k++) {
var mirColI = dataMir[k][8];
var mirRefDesc = dataMir[k][2];
var mirAdminActions = dataMir[k][3];
var mirDates = dataMir[k][4];
if (mirColI === "Yes") {
var activeRowMir = mirColI.getActiveSelection.getRowIndex();
//Pull selected values from the active row when Yes is selected
var mirRefDescRange = getMirSheet.getRange(activeRowMir, mirRefDesc);
var mirRefDescValues = mirRefDescRange.getValues();
var mirAdminActionsRange = getMirSheet.getRange(activeRowMir, mirAdminActions);
var mirAdminActionsValues = mirAdminActionsRange.getValues();
var mirDatesRange = getMirSheet.getRange(activeRowMir, mirDates);
var mirDatesValues = mirAdminActionsRange.getValues();
var mirHoldingArray = [mirRefDescValues, mirAdminActionsValues, mirDatesValues];
//Push mirHoldingArray values to holdingData
holdingData.refDesc = mirHoldingArray[0];
holdingData.adminActions = mirHoldingArray[1];
holdingData.dates = mirHoldingArray[2];
}
}
Where did all that whitespace go in the actual script editor? :D
You already correctly use .getValues() to pull the entire table into an array. What you need to do now is have a for loop go through dataMir[k][8] and simply fetch the data if dataMir[k][8] === 'Yes'. I also feel that it's not quite necessary to use for (var k in dataMir) as for (var k = 0; k < dataMir.length; k++) is a lot cleaner and you have a for loop that guarantees control (though that's probably more a preference thing).
You can also reduce the number of variables you use by having
holdingData.selectedData = mirData[k]
holdingData.refDesc = mirData[k][2] //I assume you want the 3rd column for this variable, not the 4th
holdingData.adminActions = mirData[k][3] //same as above
remember, that the array starts with 0, so if you mirData[k][0] is column A, mirData[k][1] is column B and so on.
EDIT: what you wrote in your edits seems like doubling down on the code. You already have the data, but you are trying to pull it again and some variables you use should give you an error. I will cut the code from the if, although I don't really see why you need to both get the active sheet and sheet by name. If you know the name will be constant, then just always get the correct sheet by name (or index) thus eliminating the possibility of working with the wrong sheet.
var titleMirRows = 1; // First row of data to process
var numRowsMir = getMirSheet.getLastRow(); // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:Z506
var dataRangeMir = getMirSheet.getRange(titleMirRows + 1, 1, numRowsMir - titleMirRows, 26); // might need adjusting but now it will only get as many rows as there is data, you can do the same for columns too
// Fetch values for each cell in the Range.
var dataMir = dataRangeMir.getValues();
for (var k = 0; k < dataMir.length; k++) {
if (dataMir[k][7] === 'Yes') { //I assume you meant column i
holdingData.refDesc = dataMir[k] //this will store the entire row
holdingData.adminActions = dataMir[k][3] //this stores column D
holdingData.dates = dataMir[k][4] //stores column E
}
}
Double check if the columns I have added to those variables are what you want. As I understood the object stores the entire row array, the value in column called Administrative Actions and the value in column Dates/Periods if Applicable. If not please adjust accordingly, but as you can see, we minimize the work we do with the sheet itself by simply manipulating the entire data array. Always make as few calls to Google Services as possible.
I'm trying to set objects into localStorage with a format similar to the following:
[{"1":{"property1":false,"property2":false}},{"2":{"property1":false,"property2":false}}]
Where I'd be able to set the 1 or 2 based on a dynamic value I'm getting from a REST call. What I have so far is:
// check if session exists and create if not
var StorageObject = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("session")) || [];
//see if the current id from the REST call is in storage and push with properties if not
if ( !StorageObject[thisItemsListID] ) {
var itemProperties = {};
itemProperties[thisItemsListID] = {};
itemProperties[thisItemsListID]["property1"] = false;
itemProperties[thisItemsListID]["property2"] = false;
StorageObject.push(itemProperties);
localStorage.setItem('session', JSON.stringify(StorageObject));
}
I can get the data into localStorage using this format but StorageObject[thisItemsListID] always gets into the if statement and generates a duplicate item in localStorage and I'm not sure how to access this with a variable. I'm trying to append the new ID if it doesn't exist so if {1:{} exists but current ID is 2 I need to push the new value.
I'm close here and maybe I need to reevaluate the format I'm storing the data string but I'm going in circles here and could use a point in the right direction.
Well, the duplicate item is happening in StorageObject.push(itemProperties).
Try this to update the object:
//StorageObject.push(itemProperties); <-- remove
StorageObject[thisItemsListID] = itemProperties;
[EDIT]
If you want to keep [{"1":{"property1":false,"property2":false}},{"2":{"property1":false,"property2":false}}]. To conditional would be a bit different.
var haveItem = StorageObject.filter(function(item){
return Objects.keys(item)[0] == thisItemsListID;
}).length > 0;
if ( !haveItem ) {
var itemProperties = {};
itemProperties[thisItemsListID] = {};
itemProperties[thisItemsListID]["property1"] = false;
itemProperties[thisItemsListID]["property2"] = false;
StorageObject.push(itemProperties);
localStorage.setItem('session', JSON.stringify(StorageObject));
}
Are you trying to update the object or just overwrite it? Filipes response illustrates how to update the entire storage object by just reassigning the object with the new value.
If you wanted to update just as section/ value of the object you could do so using a for loop. This would allow you to scan the array locate the one property and then remove it, updated it, overwrite it etc.
Here is an example of the loop. Bear in mind This is a snippet from a report library I was building. It uses angular $scope but it is a complex type doing a similar action to your update (here I am setting a label as a favorite/bookmark)
function OnFavoriteComplete(response) {
var id = response.config.data.reportId; //dynamic values set by client
var isFavorite = response.config.data.isFavorite;//dynamic values set by client
var arrayCount = $scope.reportList.length;
//loop my current collection and look for the property id of the label
//then check to see if true or false/this was a toggle enable disable
if (isFavorite) {
for (var i = 0, iLen = arrayCount; i < iLen; i++) {
if ($scope.reportList[i].reportId == id) {
$scope.reportList[i].isFavorite = false;
}
}
}
//if false update the property with the new value
else {
for (var i = 0, iLen = arrayCount; i < iLen; i++) {
if ($scope.reportList[i].reportId == id) {
$scope.reportList[i].isFavorite = true;
}
}
}
};
If you are using another framework like lowDash it has some really nice helper functions for updating and evaluating arrays.
Im using the following code,
jQuery.each(aDataSel, function(index, oData) {
oPushedObject = {};
aSelectedDataSet.push(fnCreateEnt(aProp, oData, oPushedObject));
});
This is aSelectedDataSet values
and this is the values of OData
What I need is that before I do the push is to fill the listTypeGroup & listTypeGroupDescription (with the red arrow ) with values that Are inside the oData -> ListTypeGroupAssigment -> result (listTypeGroup & listTypeGroupDescription) , The index is relevant since I want to add just the value of the index in each iteration (since this code is called inside outer loop and the index determine the current step of the loop) ,How it can be done nicely?
The result contain 100 entries (always) and the a selected data will have 100 entries at the end...
Update :)
Just to be clear In the pic I show the values which is hardcoded for this run but the values can be any values, we just need to find the match between the both objects values...
I mean to find a match between to_ListTypeGroupAssigment in both object (which in this case exist ) and if in oData there is result bigger then one entry start with the matching ...
UPDATE2 - when I try Dave code the following happen for each entry,
This happen in the Jquery.extend line...any idea how to overcome this?
The following hard-coded of Dave:-) work perfect but I need generic code which doesnt refer to specific field name
jQuery.each(aDataSet, function(index, oData) {
oPushedObject = {};
fnCreatePushedEntry(aProperties, oData, oPushedObject);
var result = oData.to_ListTypeGroupAssignment.results[index];
oPushedObject.to_ListTypeGroupAssignment = {
ListTypeGroup: result.ListTypeGroup,
ListTypeGroupDescription: result.ListTypeGroupDescription
};
aSelectedDataSet.push(oPushedObject);
});
Im stuck :(any idea how to proceed here ?what can be wrong with the extend ?
should I use something else ? Im new to jQuery...:)
I think that this happen(in Dave answer) because the oData[key] is contain the results and not the specified key (the keyValue = to_ListTypeGroupAssignment ) which is correct but we need the value inside the object result per index...
var needValuesForMatch = {
ListTypeGroup: 'undefined',
ListTypeGroupDescription: 'undefined',
}
//Just to show that oPushedObject can contain additional values just for simulation
var temp = {
test: 1
};
//------------------This object to_ListTypeGroupAssigment should be filled (in generic way :) ------
var oPushedObject = {
temp: temp,
to_ListTypeGroupAssignment: needValuesForMatch
};
oPushedObject is one instance in aSelectedDataSet
and after the matching I need to do the follwing:
aSelectedDataSet.push(oPushedObject);
Is this what you're after:
OPTION ONE - DEEP CLONE FROM oData TO aSelectedDataSet
aSelectedDataSet.forEach(function(currentObject,index){
for (var childObject in currentObject) {
if (! currentObject.hasOwnProperty(childObject))
continue;
var objectToClone = oData[childObject]['results'][index];
if(objectToClone)
$.extend(true,currentObject[childObject],objectToClone);
}
});
Here is your data in a fiddle with the function applied: https://jsfiddle.net/hyz0s5fe/
OPTION TWO - DEEP CLONE FROM oData ONLY WHERE PROPERTY EXISTS IN aSelectedDataSet
aSelectedDataSet.forEach(function(currentObject,index){
for (var childObject in currentObject) {
if (! currentObject.hasOwnProperty(childObject))
continue;
if(typeof currentObject[childObject] !== 'object')
continue;
for(var grandChildObject in currentObject[childObject]) {
var objectToClone = oData[childObject]['results'][index][grandChildObject];
if(typeof objectToClone === 'object') {
$.extend(true,currentObject[childObject][grandChildObject],objectToClone);
} else {
currentObject[childObject][grandChildObject] = objectToClone;
}
}
}
Fiddle for option 2: https://jsfiddle.net/4rh6tt25/
If I am understanding you correctly this should just be a small change:
jQuery.each(aDataSel, function(index, oData) {
oPushedObject = {};
fnCreateEnt(aProp, oData, oPushObj);
//get all the properties of oData and clone into matching properties of oPushObj
Object.getOwnPropertyNames(oData).forEach(function(key) {
if (oPushObj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
//oPushObj has a matching property, start creating destination object
oPushObj[key] = {};
var source = oData[key];
var destination = oPushObj[key];
//can safely assume we are copying an object. iterate through source properties
Object.getOwnPropertyNames(source).forEach(function(sourceKey) {
var sourceItem = source[sourceKey];
//handle property differently for arrays
if (Array.isArray(sourceItem)) {
//just copy the array item from the appropriate index
destination[sourceKey] = sourceItem.slice(index, index + 1);
} else {
//use jQuery to make a full clone of sourceItem
destination[sourceKey] = $.extend(true, {}, sourceItem);
}
});
}
});
aSelectedDataSet.push(oPushedObject);
});
It is unclear what exactly your fnCreateEnt() function returns though. I am assuming it is the populated oPushObj but it's not entirely clear from your question.
In my Notes Database, I perform an audit when the document is saved. Pretty easy in LotusScript. I grab the original document (oDoc) from the server, then in the document I modified (mDoc), I do a Forall loop that gets the names of each item; forall item in mDoc.items. Grab the same item from oDoc, execute a function with the new item as an argument that will run down a case statement that will see if its a field we care about. if so, I update a set of list values in the document with "When", "Who", "What field", and the "New Value".
I'm doing this in a server side script. In trying this, I discovered a couple of interesting things;
currentDocument is the NotesXSPDocument that contains everything that was just changed.
currentDocument.getDocument() contains the pre-change values. It also returns a NotesDocument which has the "items" field that I can run through.
Thing is, I need something similar in the NotesXSPDocument. Is there a way in an iterative loop to grab the names and values of all items from there?
Here's the broken code. (Currently it's walking through the NotesDocument items, but those are the old values. I'd rather walk down the XSP document items)
function FInvoice_beginAudit() {
var original_doc:NotesDocument = currentDocument.getDocument();
var oItem:NotesItem;
var oItems:java.util.Vector = original_doc.getItems();
var iterator = oItems.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
var oItem:NotesItem = iterator.next();
item = currentDocument.getItemValue(oItem.getName());
if (oItem == undefined) {
var MasterItem = ScreenAudit(doc,item,True)
if (MasterItem) { return true }
} else {
if (item.getValueString() != oItem.getValueString()) {
var MasterItem = ScreenAudit(doc,Item,True);
if (MasterItem) { return true }
}
}
}
}
You can get both versions of a document after submit - the original and the one with changed/new values:
original: var original_doc:NotesDocument = currentDocument.getDocument();
changed: var changed_doc:NotesDocument = currentDocument.getDocument(true);
This way you can compare the items for changes.
But, there is a pitfall: after assigning "changed_doc" to currentDocument.getDocument(true) the "original_doc" has the changed values too because both variables point to the same document. That's why we have to copy all items from currentDocument.getDocument() to a new temporary document first and only after get the changed values with currentDocument.getDocument(true). As an alternative you could read the original document from server like you do in LotusScript.
This is a code for detecting changed items as a starting point:
var original_doc:NotesDocument = database.createDocument();
currentDocument.getDocument().copyAllItems(original_doc, true);
var changed_doc:NotesDocument = currentDocument.getDocument(true);
var oItems:java.util.Vector = original_doc.getItems();
var iterator = oItems.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
var oItem:NotesItem = iterator.next();
var itemName = oItem.getName();
var cItem:NotesItem = changed_doc.getFirstItem(itemName);
if (cItem.getText() !== oItem.getText()) {
print("changed: " + itemName);
}
oItem.recycle();
cItem.recycle();
}
original_doc.remove(true);
original_doc.recycle();
