c.server.update() doesn't work and i don't know why

[anchor]

My client controller capture event from another widget and update the server by c.server.update() but it doesn't work,

the server side has no refresh and no output.

Client side(call c.server.update()):

server side:

（No 'kpi data' and 'submit' as console output ）

It's urgency and need your kind kelp!!

HI,

At server side can you use gs.log instead of console.log.

Thanks,

Hi,

Can you try removing console.log('kpi data') from top line and add it after if  ?

Hello,

try something like this :

c.data.submitdata= 'test data';

var unregister = $scope.$on('test event',c.server.update().then(function(response){
            // remaining code;
        }));

mark this answer as correct if it helps.

I think what may be missing is assigning the new values to the necessary variable.

As you are aware c.server.update() updates the server side via the input object but what it doesn't do automatically is reset the data object. For example if a variable is being used on the client side c.data.needUpdating or even just data.needUpdating (set in the html template) then that variable would need to be updated in the input object set in the server side or in the promise of c.server.update();

Examples: Updating variable server side:

if(input && input.something){
    data.needUpdating =  someFunc(input.something)
}

function someFunc(inp){
     //  do some stuff with inp
        ... using inp for something 
  return answer;
}

Or updating via promise

Server side

if(input && input.something){
    data.placeholder =  someFunc(input.something)
}

function someFunc(inp){
     //  do some stuff with inp
        ... using inp for something 
  return answer;
}

client side promise

$scope.someFunc = function (){
      c.data.something = "something";
      c.server.update().then(function(resp){
                 c.data.needUpdating = resp.placeholder;
       });
}
