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.

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

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

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) {
  if (!q) {
    return {};
  }
  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 + '=' + 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 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 alert-{{category}} fade in" data-alert="alert"><a class="close" data-dismiss="alert" href="#">×</a> \
      {{msg}} \
        {{#loader}} \
        <span class="notification-loader">&nbsp;</span> \
        {{/loader}} \
    </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-messages .alert');
  $notifications.remove();
}

})(jQuery, recline.View);
