Refresh the widget data used in ng-repeat

[abuthahir]

Hi,

I am have a category widget which initially shows only limited number of categories. I have a button in the widget "View All". When the user clicks that button, the widget should refresh and show all the categories. Below is my code am using. Where am i doing wrong. ctomasi nathanfirth pradeepksharma

Server:

if(input){

  data.catParam = $sp.getParameter("kb_category");

  data.kb = $sp.getValue("kb_knowledge_base");

  var cats1 = new GlideRecord("kb_category");

  cats1.addQuery("parent_id", data.kb);

  cats1.orderBy('label');

  cats1.query();

  while(cats1.next()){

  data.categories.push({label: cats1.getDisplayValue("label"), value: cats1.getUniqueValue()});

  }

  }

Client:

$scope.seeAll = function()

  {

  c.server.get().then(function(r) {

  c.data.categories = r.data.categories;

  });

  };

Hi,

i dont see any difference between your if and else loop. make sure your logic is correct and code reflects that.

(please mark helpful/like/correct if it helps)

Hi Rushit,

My logic is working good. If and else are same because this widget used in two pages. It will behave accordingly. As of now my ELSE pasrt is working and fetching all my category records. But am doing correct in refreshing the data.categories in client script.? Kindly advice

My updated server code:

if(input){

  data.catParam = $sp.getParameter("kb_category");

  data.kb = $sp.getValue("kb_knowledge_base");

  var cats1 = new GlideRecord("kb_category");

  cats1.addQuery("parent_id", data.kb);

  cats1.orderBy('label');

  cats1.query();

  while(cats1.next()){

  data.categories.push({label: cats1.getDisplayValue("label"), value: cats1.getUniqueValue()});

  }

  }

difficult to tell from that..what does your code to show initial limited category look like?

also what you are doing when "view all" button is clicked?

I have a query run to show online 20 category initially. When the user click "View All". The widget should refresh and show all the categories. Below is the widget code

Server :

(function() {

  data.catParam = $sp.getParameter("kb_category");

  data.kb = $sp.getValue("kb_knowledge_base");

  var cats = new GlideRecord("kb_category");

  if (data.catParam){

  cats.addQuery("parent_id", data.kb);

  cats.addQuery("u_top_category","true");

  cats.orderBy('label');

  cats.setLimit(20);

  cats.query();

  }

  else {

  cats.addQuery("parent_id", data.kb);

  cats.addQuery("u_top_category","true");

  cats.orderBy('label');

  cats.setLimit(20);

  cats.query();

  }

  data.categories = [];

  while (cats.next()) {

  var articleCount = -1;

  var kbCount = $sp.getKBCount(data.kb);

  if (kbCount < 500) { // if more than 500 articles, don't iterate to get viewable counts

  var arts = $sp.getKBCategoryArticles(cats.getUniqueValue());

  articleCount = arts.length;

  }

  data.categories.push({label: cats.getDisplayValue("label"), value: cats.getUniqueValue(), count: articleCount});

  }

  if(input){

  data.catParam = $sp.getParameter("kb_category");

  data.kb = $sp.getValue("kb_knowledge_base");

  var newItems = [];

  var cats1 = new GlideRecord("kb_category");

  cats1.addQuery("parent_id", data.kb);

  cats1.orderBy('label');

  cats1.query();

  gs.log("Cats Length"+cats1.getRowCount());

  while(cats1.next()){

  data.newItems.push({label: cats1.getDisplayValue("label"), value: cats1.getUniqueValue()});

  }

  }

  })();

Client :

function($location, $scope) {

  var c = this;

  //c.server.update();

  this.getMaxShownLabel = function(maxEntries, totalCount) {

  if (totalCount == c.data.maxCount)

  return "${First [0] of more than [1]}".replace('[0]', maxEntries).replace('[1]', totalCount);

  return "${First [0] of [1]}".replace('[0]', maxEntries).replace('[1]', totalCount);

  };

  $scope.seeAll = function()

  {

  c.server.update().then(function(r) {

  c.data.categories = r.data.newItems;

  });

  };

}
