DataExplorer

The primary view for the entire application. Usage:

var myExplorer = new model.recline.DataExplorer({
  model: {{recline.Model.Dataset instance}}
  el: {{an existing dom element}}
  views: {{page views}}
  config: {{config options -- see below}}
});

Parameters

model: (required) Dataset instance.

el: (required) DOM element.

views: (optional) the views (Grid, Graph etc) for DataExplorer to show. This is an array of view hashes. If not provided just initialize a DataGrid with id 'grid'. Example:

var views = [
  {
    id: 'grid', // used for routing
    label: 'Grid', // used for view switcher
    view: new recline.View.DataGrid({
      model: dataset
    })
  },
  {
    id: 'graph',
    label: 'Graph',
    view: new recline.View.FlotGraph({
      model: dataset
    })
  }
];

config: Config options like:

  • readOnly: true/false (default: false) value indicating whether to operate in read-only mode (hiding all editing options).

NB: the element already being in the DOM is important for rendering of FlotGraph subview.

 
my.DataExplorer = Backbone.View.extend({

Hash of 'page' views (i.e. those for whole page) keyed by page name

 
    if (options.views) {
      this.pageViews = options.views;
    } else {
      this.pageViews = [{
        id: 'grid',

        view: new my.DataGrid({
            model: this.model
          })
      }];
    }

this must be called after pageViews are created

 
    this.render();

    this.router = new Backbone.Router();
    this.setupRouting();

    this.model.bind('query:start', function(eventName) {

        my.clearNotifications();
        my.notify(error.message, {category: 'error', persist: true});
      });

retrieve basic data like fields etc note this.model and dataset returned are the same

 
    this.model.fetch()
      .done(function(dataset) {
        self.el.find('.doc-count').text(self.model.docCount || 'Unknown');

show the specific page

Miscellaneous Utilities

 
var urlPathRegex = /^([^?]+)(\?.*)?/;

Parse the Hash section of a URL into path and query string

 
my.parseHashUrl = function(hashUrl) {
  var parsed = urlPathRegex.exec(hashUrl);
  if (parsed == null) {
    return {};
  } else {
    return {
      path: parsed[1],
      query: parsed[2] || ''
    }
  }
}

Parse a URL query string (?xyz=abc...) into a dictionary.

 
my.parseQueryString = function(q) {
  var urlParams = {},
    e, d = function (s) {
      return unescape(s.replace(/\+/g, " "));
    },
    r = /([^&=]+)=?([^&]*)/g;

  if (q && q.length && q[0] === '?') {
    q = q.slice(1);
  }
  while (e = r.exec(q)) {

TODO: have values be array as query string allow repetition of keys

 
    urlParams[d(e[1])] = d(e[2]);
  }
  return urlParams;
}

Parse the query string out of the URL hash

 
my.parseHashQueryString = function() {
  q = my.parseHashUrl(window.location.hash).query;
  return my.parseQueryString(q);
}

Compse a Query String

 
my.composeQueryString = function(queryParams) {
  var queryString = '?';
  var items = [];
  $.each(queryParams, function(key, value) {
    items.push(key + '=' + JSON.stringify(value));
  });
  queryString += items.join('&');
  return queryString;
}

my.setHashQueryString = function(queryParams) {
  window.location.hash = window.location.hash.split('?')[0] + my.composeQueryString(queryParams);
}

notify

Create a notification (a div.alert-message in div.alert-messsages) using provide messages and options. Options are:

  • category: warning (default), success, error
  • persist: if true alert is persistent, o/w hidden after 3s (default = false)
  • loader: if true show loading spinner
 
my.notify = function(message, options) {
  if (!options) var options = {};
  var tmplData = _.extend({
    msg: message,
    category: 'warning'
    },
    options);
  var _template = ' \
    <div class="alert-message {{category}} fade in" data-alert="alert"><a class="close" href="#">×</a> \
      <p>{{msg}} \
        {{#loader}} \
        <img src="images/small-spinner.gif" class="notification-loader"> \
        {{/loader}} \
      </p> \
    </div>';
  var _templated = $.mustache(_template, tmplData); 
  _templated = $(_templated).appendTo($('.data-explorer .alert-messages'));
  if (!options.persist) {
    setTimeout(function() {
      $(_templated).fadeOut(1000, function() {
        $(this).remove();
      });
    }, 1000);
  }
}

clearNotifications

Clear all existing notifications

 
my.clearNotifications = function() {
  var $notifications = $('.data-explorer .alert-message');
  $notifications.remove();
}

})(jQuery, recline.View);
