Javascript Map Array Conditions Tutorial

Onto yesterday’s Javascript Map Array Field Tutorial we wanted to extend functionality by starting on a “more than one day” project of thinking …

  • SQL … with it’s … SELECT … statements involving …
  • FROM … clause … representing the input (perhaps) CSV data source … filtered via …
  • WHERE … clauses, for sure … and pretty sure we can manage …
  • ORDER BY … record sorting

… people familiar with working with relative databases will understand.

So far we’re just doing the work to construct the scenario’s SQL “pseudo SELECT statement”. In doing this, we used a new mapping array that could end up looking like …

{from: ‘2’, to: ‘(Longitude+Latitude) as field2’}
{from: ‘4’, to: ‘name’}
{from: ‘3’, to: ‘longitude’}
{from: ‘2’, to: ‘latitude’}
{from: ‘1’, to: ‘country’}
{from: ‘1’, to: ‘Name’}
{from: ‘2’, to: ‘Quantity’}

… where we found building it up via the usual mapping.push() we would use to append data was some of the story, but it’s opposite number mapping.unshift() was really useful to prioritize a changing better to member data item into the mix, as the program flow progesses in the changed map_test.html Array and Map Tester web application you can also try below.

Javascript Map Array Field Tutorial

The way the inhouse Javascript Map Array web application worked as of the day before yesterday’s Javascript Map Array Hashtag Tutorial involved …

  • a whole of file (or your entered string) processing of CSV data where the first two fields (comma separated) of records became the name,quantity data basis … but as all Spreadsheet afficianados will tell you, it can be very useful “to drill down” into fields (or “columns”, in Spreadsheet parlance) … so …
  • as of today’s work … well, we’ll let our “blurb”, coming off an H1 tag double click event, to try to explain it …

    var compositename='';
    var compositequantity='';
    var enterall='';

    function anal() {
    enterall=prompt('Optionally enter a # (hashtag) delimited composite field scenario to apply for next input data (perhaps CSV) file application, such as in examples below. ' + String.fromCharCode(10) + String.fromCharCode(10) + 'Examples ...' + String.fromCharCode(10) + '#1,3&2&4' + String.fromCharCode(10) + '#4,2*3' + String.fromCharCode(10) + '#1&4,3+2', '');
    if (enterall.split('#')[0].indexOf(',') == -1 && enterall.trim() != '' && enterall.indexOf('~`~') == -1) {
    compositename='';
    compositequantity='';
    if (enterall.indexOf('#') != -1) {
    var compstuff=enterall.split('#')[1];
    enterall=enterall.split('#')[0];
    var csfs=compstuff.split(',');
    compositename=csfs[0];
    if (compositename != '') {
    if (eval(('' + compositename).split('&')[0].split('+')[0].split('/')[0].split('*')[0].split('-')[0].split('%')[0].split('^')[0]) > 1 && eval('' + csfs.length) <= 1) {
    compositequantity='1';
    } else if (eval('' + csfs.length) > 1) {
    compositequantity=csfs[1];
    }
    }
    }
    enterall='';
    }
    enterall='';
    }

… to allow for some simple mathematical operations (ie. + / – * % ^) of the right hand quantity data item, or concatenation (ie. &) on either left or right (delimited by , comma), as possibilities via user defined field (or “column”) numbering system (starting from 1) means.

Applied to our testing with country.csv here, we started getting scenarios where the Google Chart Geo Chart should turn into “markers mode”, and the statistical Google Chart Area/Bar/Column/Line Charts would have multiple Y axis items for the “name” data item X axis relationship.

More flexibility, we figure, in the extensively changed map_test.html Array and Map Tester web application you can also try below.

Regular readers will know of our ever increasing fondness, out of webpage navigational ideas …

  • form method=GET ? and & delimited argument style URL navigation (suitable for both client and server recipient webpages but apt to cause error 414 due to data size restrictions) … or …
  • form method=POST URL navigation (suitable for server recipient webpages only, but able to handle much more data) … or …
  • hybrid arrangement that is essentially form method=GET ? and & delimited argument style URL navigation (suitable for both client and server recipient webpages) with error 414 avoided by most data forming the location.hash (client understood) hashtagged data

… for the last hashtagging arrangement when the data size precludes the first arrangement, and we see benefits regarding “a” “mailto:” and/or “sms:” sharing links becoming involved (rather than relying on any PHP server mail function calling).

Our Google Chart interfacing is no exception here, and yes, once we’ve completed our sweep of Google Chart inhouse functionality interfacers, on top of today’s …

… list we got keen to attend to today, with a most (when needed) strategy …

First “data” label value is method=GET
Rest of “data” value items are hashtagged

… (having the benefit that the intervention point is consistent and reliable) on top of yesterday’s Javascript Map Array Chart Tutorial, in this regard, as helper outerers for our changed map_test.html Array and Map Tester web application you can also try below, we’ll be able to further genericize Sharing and Collaboration Google Chart interfacing functionality when the amounts of data involved exceed server based (error 414) limits.

Along the way, testing on iOS mobile platforms, we were gobsmacked by the possibility of location.hash (ie. # hashtagging) not being recognized, always, at the recipient, and so a failsafe we introduced was to also store hashtagged data in a parent textbox the recipient can reference …

<?php echo ”

if (window.top) {
if (parent.document.getElementById('lhashis')) {
if (decodeURIComponent(('' + parent.document.getElementById('lhashis').value)).indexOf(',') != -1) {
location.hash=parent.document.getElementById('lhashis').value;
}
}
}

“; ?>

… even before “recipient document.body onload” timing, happily, to get around the restrictiveness of this location.hash lack of acceptance, at times.

Which brings us to …

Why is Geo Chart in that list above?

Well, it’s a bit unlikely, but it just so happens our best CSV file to hand, around here, contained ISO-3166 2 character country codes with a representative latitude and longitude (as you can see with, the now publicly shared, country.csv … thanks to Google) and this data is right up the alley of use by the Google Chart Geo Chart (which you might recall we had a different hashtag arrangement going on already …

… believe it or not, never causing any iOS mobile platform issues up to now … go figure!)

To get this “sharing of that CSV” to be any way useful, and illustrative, if you double click the “topic” word and get to the Javascript prompt window that follows, we tweak you to this, but if you enter …

https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/HTMLCSS/country.csv

… at that prompt window, now, we’ll attempt an Ajax call of whatever URL you enter to try to glean data content to suit our …

label name to numerical quantity relationship

… this web application is hankering for.

And there, the amount of data (in size) is far too big for non-hybrid method=GET scenarios, and we need to turn to our new hybrid ideas to proceed with our quest to take over “Lower Middle Mordor South Lowlands as seen from Mirkwood“.

This may all bore, but believe me if you offer users a piece of functionality, they’ll want to push it to limits, and in that “push” could come most of your work, and concern, with regard to a project you are working on, so we figure it is best to cater for this before it is asked for.

TwoThree sentences ending in for? Okay, Grammarly, we give up!

Each Google Chart interfacer has individual nuances, but PHP code changes like below …

<?php

echo ' if (decodeURIComponent(("" + location.hash).replace(/^undefined/g,"")).trim().indexOf(",") != -1) { ' . "\n";
echo ' var xwert="data=google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ [' . "'" . $GETlabel . "','" . str_replace(",", "','", str_replace("'", "", $GETvalue)) . "'" . '],"; ' . "\n";
echo " xwert+=\"" . str_replace("~,", "',", str_replace("[~", "['", str_replace(",]", ",0]", str_replace(",,", ",0,", str_replace(",]", ",0]", $GETdata))))) . "\" + ('' + location.hash).replace(/^\#/g,'').replace(/\%20/g,'').replace(/\,\]/g,\",0\").replace(/\[\~/g,\"['\").replace(/\~\,/g,\"',\"); " . "\n";
echo ' xwert+=" ])"; xwert=xwert.replace(",,",","); ' . "\n";
echo ' eval(xwert); ' . "\n";
echo ' } else { ' . "\n";
echo ' data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ ' . "\n";
echo " ['" . $GETlabel . "','" . str_replace(",", "','", str_replace("'", "", $GETvalue)) . "'] \n";
echo str_replace("~,", "',", str_replace("[~", "['", str_replace(",]", ",0]", str_replace(",,", ",0,", str_replace(",]", ",0]", $GETdata)))));
echo " ]);\n";
echo " } \n";

?>

… typify our interventional strategy to make these improvements happen. Good ol’ (much maligned) eval … huh?! And good ol’ Javascript undefined bizzos! And good ol’ hashtagging! Aaaaaaaaaaal drink to all youse guys and gals (if one might be so forward, that is).

Does the data behind yesterday’s Javascript Map Array Import Tutorial remind you of anything? Relative database data? Spreadsheets?

That last one has lots of synergy, we reckon. And lots of us know, in spreadsheet software products like Microsoft Excel, once a …

  • spreadsheet is involved …
  • charts are often offered as a graphical stand in display (to the tabular looking spreadsheet, that is)

And in this respect, looking back on our interfacing work to Google Charts when you have a label name to numerical quantity relationship two Google Chart types (we know of) are useful …

… and we’d like to offer some optional interfacing to these (to improve functionality, that is) … the Javascript for this leaning on the new …

    function drop(ev) { // thanks to https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_draganddrop.asp
    var ssrect=null, isemail=true, a=null;
    ssrect=document.getElementById('droppable').getBoundingClientRect();
    if (eval(ssrect.right - ev.clientX) < eval(ev.clientX - ssrect.left)) { isemail=false; }

    … where the drop position tells us which “conduit” to go with

… and so, both are of some interest, we figure in a changed map_test.html Array and Map Tester web application you can also try below.

Did you know?

In Object Oriented Programming, methods (ie. object functions) can be named similarly with different argument patterns and/or return values, but now, with three functions in this current project we’ve coalesced this idea into single calls and used the Javascript undefined return for non-defined arguments as our way to “keep it brief” …

  • function askall(preenterall) { } … as above
  • function alteredstate(indemo, readd) { }
  • function addone(knownname, knownquantity) { }

We think yesterday’s Javascript Map Array Primer Tutorial could benefit from …

  • aspects that make the Inventory aspects to the web application feel more like a “tool” …
  • aspects that make the Inventory aspects to the web application feel more “generic”

… and, you may notice, fixes for the way “Map.groupBy” functionality does not appear to work on the mobile platforms my iPhone has for web browsers …


var text="";

function thecall() {
var kk=0;

// Group by ok and low
text="These " + document.getElementById('topic').innerHTML.toLowerCase() + "s are Ok: <br>";
try {
const result = Map.groupBy(fruits, myCallback);

// Display Results
try {
for (let x of result.get("ok")) {
if (x.name != '' || x.quantity != 0) {
text += "" + x.name + " " + x.quantity + "<br>";
}
if (!m.has(x.name)) {
m.set(x.name, x.quantity);
}
}
} catch(ebad) { }
text += "<br>These " + document.getElementById('topic').innerHTML.toLowerCase() + "s are low: <br>";
try {
for (let x of result.get("low")) {
if (x.name != '' || x.quantity != 0) {
text += "" + x.name + " " + x.quantity + "<br>";
}
if (!m.has(x.name)) {
m.set(x.name, x.quantity);
}
}
console.log(result.get("ok"));
} catch(ebad) { }
} catch(overebad) {
text="These " + document.getElementById('topic').innerHTML.toLowerCase() + "s are Ok: <br>";
for (kk=0; kk<fruits.length; kk++) {
if (('' + fruits[kk].quantity).replace('-','').substring(0,1) >= '0' && ('' + fruits[kk].quantity).replace('-','').substring(0,1) <= '9') {

With this in mind, we honed in on a “topic” concept, where yesterday’s “topic” would have been “Fruit”. There are two aspects …

  1. allow a contenteditable way for user to change the displayed (what used to be) hardcoding …

    <span title='Double click to be able to enter CSV data' id=topic contenteditable=true onblur=beadjustable(); ondblclick=askall();>Fruit</span>

    … as well as …
  2. add ondblclick (ie. on double click) means by which a user can use a Javascript prompt window means by which they can enter all the CSV (ie. comma separated values) data for an Inventory application of the user’s choosing (including a means by which they can also enter the “topic” at the same time) …

    function askall() {
    var delall=false;
    var enterall=prompt('Optionally copy all your CSV (comma separated values) data to apply here (where ; or | can be record delimiters). Optionally prefix this CSV data with your topic followed by ~`~' + String.fromCharCode(10) + String.fromCharCode(10) + 'Example ...' + String.fromCharCode(10) + 'Fish~`~taylor,300;barramundi,400;perch,100;mullet,234', '');

Javascript Map Array Primer Tutorial

Javascript Map Array Primer Tutorial

We’ve got yet another “map” idea for you today, coming from the wooooorrrrlllllddd of Javascript clientside data structures, if you like.

We got onto this topic via reading https://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_map_groupby and https://medium.com/@sotoer/your-foreach-example-has-the-wrong-order-of-params-which-you-are-also-demonstrating-in-your-sample-42f5491b604e which both helped us enormously put together a rudimentary Fruit Inventory web application featuring …

  • array with structure

    // Create an Array
    const fruits = [
    {name:"apples", quantity:300},
    {name:"bananas", quantity:500},
    {name:"oranges", quantity:200},
    {name:"kiwi", quantity:150}
    ];
  • map object

    var m = new Map();
  • use of map.set() …

    function addone() {
    doadd=true;
    fruits.push({name:"", quantity:0});
    m.set('', 0);
    doadd=false;
    beadjustable();
    }

    … and Map.groupBy()

    function thecall() {
    // Group by ok and low
    const result = Map.groupBy(fruits, myCallback);

    // Display Results
    let text ="These fruits are Ok: <br>";
    try {
    for (let x of result.get("ok")) {
    if (x.name != '' || x.quantity != 0) {
    text += x.name + " " + x.quantity + "<br>";
    }
    if (!m.has(x.name)) {
    m.set(x.name, x.quantity);
    }
    }
    } catch(ebad) { }
    text += "<br>These fruits are low: <br>";
    try {
    for (let x of result.get("low")) {
    if (x.name != '' || x.quantity != 0) {
    text += x.name + " " + x.quantity + "<br>";
    }
    if (!m.has(x.name)) {
    m.set(x.name, x.quantity);
    }
    }
    } catch(ebad) { }
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = text;

    console.log(result.get("ok"));
    }
  • contenteditable=true

    function consolelog(inrec) {
    if (rspan == 0) {
    document.getElementById("tdname").innerHTML=inrec.split('value:')[1].split(' key:')[0].split(' map:')[0];
    document.getElementById("tdquantity").innerHTML=inrec.split('key:')[1].split(' value:')[0].split(' map:')[0];
    rspan=1;
    } else if (inrec.split('value:')[1].split(' key:')[0].split(' map:')[0] == '') {
    tabletds+='<tr><td contenteditable=true id=tdname' + rspan + ' onblur=fix(this);>' + inrec.split('value:')[1].split(' key:')[0].split(' map:')[0] + '</td><td contenteditable=true id=tdquantity' + rspan + ' onblur=fix(this);>' + inrec.split('key:')[1].split(' value:')[0].split(' map:')[0] + '</td></tr>';
    rspan++;
    } else {
