Javascript Map Array Import Tutorial

Is it …

  • the extension of import capabilities … or …
  • the sharing capabilities

… of most interest in today’s work, extending that of yesterday’s Javascript Map Array Genericization Tutorial?

Well …

  • the extension of import capabilities …

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) { }

Javascript Map Array Genericization Tutorial

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') {
if (mysimpleCallback(fruits[kk].quantity) == 'ok') {
//alert(fruits[kk].name);
text += "" + fruits[kk].name + " " + fruits[kk].quantity + "<br>";

}

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) …

    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];
