I'm using jQuery with Django to do some stuff with tables. I have the following javascript:
$("#pending_table").tablesorter({
headers: {5 + {{somevariable}}: {sorter:false},6 + {{somevariable}}: {sorter:false}}
});
(I omitted a bunch of other options that are irrelevant)
The part that's causing trouble is the addition in the headers dictionary definition. Looking at the source of the resulting webpage, I can see that {{somevariable}} converts properly to its value of 4, so it's not a Django-related issue.
In summary: "5 + 4 : value" does not work, "9 : value" does work.
I'm assuming I'm getting the syntax of the javascript wrong somehow.
Help?
Javascript object literals only allows literals as keys. In other words, you cannot have a calculated expression as a key. For example, this is unallowed:
headers = {
(1 + 2): 4
}
That said, you can do this to circumvent that restriction:
headers = {};
headers[1 + 2] = 4;
In your case, it looks like you want to do something like this:
var headers = {};
headers[5 + someVar] = {sorter: false};
headers[6 + someVar] = {sorter: false};
$("#pending_table").tablesorter({
headers: headers
});

I am working on a project where I require to format incoming numbers in the following way:
###.###
However I noticed some results I didn't expect.
The following works in the sense that I don't get an error:
console.log(07);
// or in my case:
console.log(007);
Of course, it will not retain the '00' in the value itself, since that value is effectively 7.
The same goes for the following:
console.log(7.0);
// or in my case:
console.log(7.000);
JavaScript understands what I am doing, but in the end the actual value will be 7, which can be proven with the following:
const leadingValue = 007;
const trailingValue = 7.00;
console.log(leadingValue, trailingValue); // both are exactly 7
But what I find curious is the following: the moment I combine these two I get a syntax error:
// but not this:
console.log(007.000);
1) Can someone explain why this isn't working?
I'm trying to find a solution to store numbers/floats with the exact precision without using string.
2) Is there any way in JS/NodeJS or even TypeScript to do this without using strings?
What I currently want to do is to receive the input, scan for the format and store that as a separate property and then parse the incoming value since parseInt('007.000') does work. And when the user wants to get this value return it back to the user... in a string.. unfortunately.
1) 007.000 is a syntax error because 007 is an octal integer literal, to which you're then appending a floating point part. (Try console.log(010). This prints 8.)
2) Here's how you can achieve your formatting using Intl.NumberFormat...
var myformat = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
minimumIntegerDigits: 3,
minimumFractionDigits: 3
});
console.log(myformat.format(7)); // prints 007.000
Hi
You can use an aproach that uses string funtions .split .padStart and .padEnd
Search on MDN
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/split
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padStart
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padEnd
Here you have an example:
const x = 12.1;
function formatNumber( unformatedNumber) {
const desiredDecimalPad = 3;
const desiredNonDecimalPad = 3;
const unformatedNumberString = unformatedNumber.toString();
const unformatedNumberArr = unformatedNumberString.split('.');
const decimalStartPadded = unformatedNumberArr[0].padStart(desiredDecimalPad, '0');
const nonDecimalEndPadded = unformatedNumberArr[1].padEnd(desiredNonDecimalPad, '0');
const formatedNumberString = decimalStartPadded + '.' + nonDecimalEndPadded;
return formatedNumberString;
}
console.log(formatNumber(x))
I use stringify() method in JavaScript to convert a list of objects to a string, but I need to customize the output on the first level ONLY like the following:
[
/*T01*/ {"startX":55,"endX":109,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
/*T02*/ {"startX":110,"endX":164,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
/*T03*/ {"startX":165,"endX":219,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
/*T04*/ {"startX":220,"endX":274,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
/*T05*/ {"startX":275,"endX":329,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
/*T06*/ {"startX":330,"endX":384,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
/*T07*/ {"startX":385,"endX":439,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
/*T08*/ {"startX":440,"endX":494,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
/*T09*/ {"startX":495,"endX":549,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
/*T10*/ {"startX":550,"endX":604,"sartY":0,"endY":249}
]
Now there are other parameters in stringfy() method, replacer and space, can't I use them to format my output like the aforementioned format including:
tabs
spaces
comments
You are not going to get JSON.parse to make that output since it is not valid JSON. But if you want to have something rendered like that, it is a simple loop and string concatenation.
var details = [
{"startX":55,"endX":109,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
{"startX":110,"endX":164,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
{"startX":165,"endX":219,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
{"startX":220,"endX":274,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
{"startX":275,"endX":329,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
{"startX":330,"endX":384,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
{"startX":385,"endX":439,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
{"startX":440,"endX":494,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
{"startX":495,"endX":549,"sartY":0,"endY":249},
{"startX":550,"endX":604,"sartY":0,"endY":249}
];
var out = "[\n" + details.map(function(val, i) {
var id = "\t/*T" + ("0" + (i + 1)).substr(-2) + "*/\t";
return id + JSON.stringify(val);
}).join(",\n") + "\n]";
console.log(out);
G'day peoples,
I'm using MavLink to obtain GPS information. One of the message types is GPS_STATUS which is described by MavLink using a series of uint8_t[20].
If I run the following code:
console.log(' sat prn: ' + message.satellite_prn);
console.log(' sat prn: ' + JSON.stringify(message.satellite_prn));
console.log(' sat prn: ' + JSON.stringify(new Uint8Array(message.satellite_prn)));
I get the following output:
sat prn: <weird charcaters...>
sat prn: "\u0002\u0005\n\f\u000f\u0012\u0015\u0019\u001a\u001b\u001d\u001e\u001f\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000"
sat prn: {"BYTES_PER_ELEMENT":1,"buffer":{"byteLength":0},"length":0,"byteOffset":0,"byteLength":0}
So obviously it's not working. I need a means to get the int value of each element.
I found this https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Typed_arrays?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=JavaScript_typed_arrays
Which made me think I would be able to do the following:
satellite_prn = Array.apply([], new Uint8Array(message.satellite_prn));
satellite_prn.length === 20;
satellite_prn.constructor === Array;
But when I stringify it via JSON it reports [], I presume this is an empty array.
Anyone know how I can do this? I know that the data is an array of 20 unsigned 8 bit integers. I just need to know how to access or parse them.
Note: I'm using node.js, but that shouldn't affect what I'm doing. This is why I'm using console.log, as it's avail in node.js.
Two issues with your code:
message.satellite_prn is a string not an array
Unit8Array needs to be loaded with .set
To get an array of numbers from message.satellite_prn, do this:
var array = message.satellite_prn.map(function(c) { return c.charCodeAt(0) })
To load an ArrayBuffer, do this:
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(array.length);
var uint8View = new Uint8Array(buffer);
uint8View.set(array);
Ideally you wouldn't need to go through the string. If you are obtaining the data from an up-to-date implementation of XMLHttpRequest, such as xhr2, you can set:
responseType = "arraybuffer"
Looks like the problem is my understanding on how to deal with binary data within javascript. I found that I can just do the following to get the data as base 10 via charCodeAt().
The following is the code that allowed me to iterate through the 20 unsigned 8 bit integers and get each value as a decimal:
for(var i = 0, l = message.satellite_prn.length; i < l; i++) {
console.log(' Satellite ' + i + ', id: ' +
parseInt(message.satellite_prn.charCodeAt(i), 10)
);
}
I suspect that there may be a function that allows me to convert the binary data into an array, but for an unknown reason Uint8Array didn't appear to be working for me. However the above does.
Is there any way I can check the response size? Data property is a byte array which I am using to display an image. If the size is greater than 10 MB I need to show a popup.
{
"Name": "sharon",
"Date": "07\/14\/2004",
"Data": "JVBERi0xLjINCg0KNC",
"DocumentId":1540,
}
Also how can I check the type of my response, whether it's blob or something? Can I check the size of the blob I am getting? Maybe something like this:
var data = JSON.parse(this.responseData);
You simply can use JavaScript .length for this, but do realize different browsers as well as servers will report different values since some interpretation of newlines can be 1 of 2 size values (byte-order).
Having said that, use a "loose" value that your sure contains the data you need, and not just the header response that has no value.
You can slurp the incoming response into one line and remove all unnecessary white-space.
var JSON = '{\r\n' +
' "Name": "sharon",\r\n' +
' "Date": "07\/14\/2004",\r\n' +
' "Data": "JVBERi0xLjINCg0KNC",\r\n' +
' "DocumentId":1540,\r\n' +
'}';
alert(JSON);
alert(JSON.length); // 101
var newJSON = slurp(JSON);
alert(newJSON);
alert(newJSON.length); // 91
function slurp(str) {
str = str.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm,"");
str = str.replace(/(\s+|\t)/gm,' ');
return str;
}
I'm trying to achieve the following though with my intermediate JavaScript skills I'm not sure if this is possible.
This is related in part to this question.
Now I have 2 arrays
a) Has the various language in (e.g. "en-GB", "fr", "de" etc)
b) Has a suffix of a URL based on the browser language above (e.g. "fr/","de/","uk/")
What I am trying to achieve is:
1) User hits a page, browser detects which browser it is using from the array (a)
2) Depending on what the browser is based on (a), it then searches through (b) and if they match, e.g. if the language is "fr" it will use the suffix "fr/" from the array in (b).
3) It will then add this suffix to a top level domain (which is always constant)
Is this even possible to achieve (I'm sure it is)? Can it be done purely via JavaScript (or JQuery)? How would I go about doing this?
Here's some of the code I have so far:
var IAB_Array = new Array("de-at","nl-be","fr-be","da","de","hu","en-ie","ga","es","fr","it","nl","no","pl","en","en-GB","en-US","en-gb","en-us"); //language array
var IAB_suffix = new Array("at/","be-nl/","be-fr","den/","de/","hu/","ie/","es/","fr/","it/","nl/","nor/","pl/","uk/"); //URL suffix Array
var IAB_lang = "en-GB"; //default language
var IAB_link = "http://www.mysitegoeshere/";
if(navigator.browserLanguage) IAB_lang = navigator.browserLanguage; //change lang if detection supported
if(window.navigator.language) IAB_lang = window.navigator.language; //change lang if detection supported
function IAB_Lang_detect () { //execute search
for (var i=0;i<IAB_Array.length;i++) {
if(IAB_Array[i]==IAB_lang) {
document.write(IAB_Array[i]); //output matched array value
}
}
return false;
}
var IAB_URL = ""+IAB_link+IAB_suffix[1]+""; //this is the resulting URL
document.write(IAB_URL);
IAB_Lang_detect ();
I hope someone can help as I'm a little confused! It's more so the matching the values from the 2 arrays and then subsequently selecting the correct suffix that I'm having trouble with.
Thanks
(function () {
"use strict";
var lang_map = {
"de-at": "at/",
"nl-be": "be-nl/",
"fr-be": "be-fr",
"da": "den/",
"de": "de/",
"hu": "hu/",
"en-ie": "ie/",
"ga": "ie/",
"es": "es/",
"fr": "fr/",
"it": "it/",
"nl": "nl/",
"no": "nor/",
"pl": "pl/",
"en": "uk/",
"en-GB": "uk/",
"en-US": "uk/",
"en-gb": "uk/",
"en-us": "uk/"
},
lang = (navigator && navigator.browserLanguage) || (window.navigator && window.navigator.language) || "en-GB";
window.location = "http://www.mysitegoeshere/" + lang_map[lang];
}());
I'd do it differently and use an object:
var IAB_Object = { "it-It": "it/", "en-Gb": "en/" ....}
if(IAB_Object.hasOwnProperty(IAB_lang)){
//you have a match, the suffix is
var suffix = IAB_Object[IAB_lang];
}else{
//you don't have a match use a standard language
}
I probably wouldn't use arrays for this at all. You can use an object:
var IABInfo = {
"de-at": "at/",
"ln-be": "be-nl/",
// ...and so on
};
Then index directly into that object:
var value = IABInfo[IABLang]; // Where IABLang contains a string, like "de-at"
So:
var suffix = IABInfo[IABLang];
if (suffix) { // Did we have it?
document.write(suffix);
}
This works because all JavaScript objects are free-form key/value maps. Here's a simpler example:
var lifeTheUniverseAndEverything = {
answer: 42,
question: "?"
};
You can look up a property either using dotted notation with a literal, or by using square bracket ([]) notation with a string. So all four of these output exactly the same thing:
// 1. Dotted notation with a literal:
console.log("The answer is " + lifeTheUniverseAndEverything.answer);
// 2. Bracketed notation with a string
console.log("The answer is " + lifeTheUniverseAndEverything["answer"]);
// 3. The string needn't be a literal, it can come from a variable...
var name = "answer";
console.log("The answer is " + lifeTheUniverseAndEverything[name]);
// 4. ...or indeed any expression:
console.log("The answer is " + lifeTheUniverseAndEverything["a" + "n" + "swer"]);
So by making your IAB info a map in an object literal, you can make it much easier to look things up: Just use bracketed notation with the desired language code.
