FileDownloader and checkbox, download selected items - vaadin

We've created solution where user has a table with files, each entry has checkbox. He can select as many as he like and then click download button.
We are using such resource, it should allow dynamically download, depending on selected items
private StreamResource createResource(final IndexedContainer container) {
return new StreamResource(new StreamSource() {
#Override
public InputStream getStream() {
for (Object o : container.getItemIds()) {
CheckBox checkbox = (CheckBox) container.getItem(o).getItemProperty(C_CHECK_BOX).getValue();
if (checkbox.getValue()) {
selectedFiles.add(o);
}
}
// do some magic to get stream of selected files
}
}, "download.zip");
}
The problem is that only second and following click on button is giving expected restults.
It's turns out that FileDownoader is getting resource from server and then it is sending current status of component . It is the reason why first click is giving stale result.
Do you have any idea how to overcome this? Is it possible to force: first update component and then download the resource?
Many thanks

CheckBox in Vaadin is non-immediate by default, which means that it won't send a request to server when the checkbox is checked (or unchecked) on the browser. Immediate components send queued non-immediate events also to server but it seems that FileDownloader doesn't cause an event that would send non-immediate checkbox values to server.
The only thing you need to do is to set your checkboxes to be immediate when you create those:
checkBox.setImmediate(true);

FileDownloader will not suit your needs. As you can read in the documentation:
Download should be started directly when the user clicks e.g. a Button without going through a server-side click listener to avoid triggering security warnings in some browsers.
That means you cannot dynamically generate download.zip file determined by checkboxes values because that requires a trip to server.
You have at least 2 options. Either create new FileDownloader and generate new Resource download.zip every time user make changes to the checkboxes. Or you can add simple ClickListener to you Button with this line of code:
getUI().getPage().open(resource, "_blank", false);

There is also alternative solution to set checkBox.setImmediate(true); . It is possible to send current state of all components, just before click, instead of sending each checkBox change.
This solution is based on this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30643199/1344546
You need to create file downloader button and hide it:
Button hiddenButton = new Button();
hiddenButton.setId(HIDDEN_ID);
hiddenButton.addStyleName("InvisibleButton");
StreamResource zipResource = createResource(container);
FileDownloader fd = new FileDownloader(zipResource);
fd.extend(hiddenButton);
Add css rule to your theme
.InvisibleButton {
display: none;
}
And then create another button, which 1st update state, and then click hidden button.
Button zipDownload = new Button("Download as ZIP file");
zipDownload.addClickListener(new Button.ClickListener() {
#Override
public void buttonClick(Button.ClickEvent event) {
Page.getCurrent().getJavaScript()
.execute(String.format("document.getElementById('%s').click();", HIDDEN_ID));
}
});

Testing-library unable to find rc-menu

I'm trying to implement integration tests on our React frontend which uses Ant design. Whenever we create a table, we add an action column in which we have a Menu and Menu Items to perform certain actions.
However, I seem unable to find the correct button in the menu item when using react-testing-library. The menu Ant design uses is rc-menu and I believe it renders outside of the rendered component.
Reading the testing-library documentation, I've tried using baseElement and queryByRole to get the correct DOM element, but it doesn't find anything.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do. It's all async since the table has to wait on certain data before it gets filled in, just an FYI.
Tried it on codesandbox
const row = await screen.findByRole('row', {
name: /test/i
})
const menu = await within(row).findByRole('menu')
fireEvent.mouseDown(menu)
expect(queryByRole('button', { name: /delete/i })).toBeDisabled()
the menu being opened with the delete action as menu item
I had a same issue testing antd + rc-menu component. Looks like the issue is related to delayed popup rendering. Here is an example how I solved it:
jest.useFakeTimers();
const { queryByTestId, getByText } = renderMyComponent();
const nav = await waitFor(() => getByText("My Menu item text"));
act(() => {
fireEvent.mouseEnter(nav);
jest.runAllTimers(); // ! <- this was a trick !
});
jest.useRealTimers();
expect(queryByTestId("submenu-item-test-id")).toBeTruthy();

How to attach a new BrowserWindowOpener to a button, without destroying the button first?

on Vaadin 7 I have the working code :
private void gridAttachmentsClickItemEventAction(ItemClickEvent event) {
// blablabla some code to get the data from the repository
byte[] data = bibocoAttachmentResponseEntity.getBody().getContent();
StreamResource.StreamSource source = convertByteArrayToStreamResource(data);
String filename = "c:\\droppdf\\"
+"temp"+bibocoAttachmentResponseEntity.getBody().getFileName()+LocalDate.now().toString();
StreamResource resource = new StreamResource(source, filename);
resource.setMIMEType("application/pdf");
resource.getStream().setParameter("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
BrowserWindowOpener opener = new BrowserWindowOpener(resource);
opener.extend(btnAttachmentPreview);
}
When I click on a grid row, the data is collected from that grid
and code following on it gets the data byte[] from a repository by calling a service.
Afterwards, when the user clicks on btnAttachmentPreview a new browser tab opens
and shows the pdf (that's what's in the data byte[])
This works fine the first time, but when I select a new row in the grid,
the problem is that the second call does not set the listener to the button right.
It show the first data byte[] again in a new tab, not the current data ...
The method is accessed, the correct data[] has been loaded in the array the second time, I checked.
I believe the listener on the btnAttachmentPreview attached due the code
opener.extend(btnAttachmentPreview);
should be binned (empty'ed or nulled) first. But I have no reference to it as for as I can tell.
Problem is that I don't want to destroy the btnAttachmentPreview object.
(The btnAttachmentPreview is a global variable and is set to a layout that I may not change. I know, not nice, but it's a ancient product)
When I close the browser and restart and clicking another row, the right data byte[] is showed.
Anyone a clue ?
Any help appreciated
You can remove an extension using its remove() method, i.e. opener.remove();.
If you cannot easily structure your code to store a reference to the old opener so that you have it available when you want to add a new one, then you can use btnAttachmentPreview.getExtensions() to get a collection of all current extensions and then from that you can find the appropriate extension (if any) and call remove() on it.

autodesk-forge add hyperlink to object in a360 viewer

Need to find way to add hyperlinks to components of an assembly in the a360 viewer such that, when clicked or touched with mobile device, will navigate to a web page for more information. Realize it requires Forge API but can't find any specific examples of such a solution. I think this can be done from a properties table but I want direct navigation from touching/clicking the object.
You could just subscribe to the object selection event and react to it by e.g. opening a given URL:
viewer.addEventListener(
Autodesk.Viewing.SELECTION_CHANGED_EVENT,
function (event) {
// Get id of first selected item
var dbId = event.dbIdArray[0];
if (dbId) {
// Maybe get the properties of the selected object
viewer.getProperties(dbId, function (props) {
// Depending on the properties you could open a website
// Just printing to the console the external id of
// the selected component as an example
console.log(props.externalId);
});
}
}
);
If you search for "Autodesk.Viewing.SELECTION_CHANGED_EVENT" you can find some articles and samples also using this event, e.g. https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/selection-override

Behaviour of Table context menu in Vaadin 7.3 unclear

I have a simple use case: in a multi select Table
when the user selects 1 row, a context menu with two actions must be returned (DELETE and DOWNLOAD)
when the user selects more than one row, only the DELETE Action should be in the context menu
This is the code I use:
contactList.setMultiSelect(true);
final Action delete = new Action("Delete", FontAwesome.TIMES);
final Action download = new Action("Download", FontAwesome.DOWNLOAD);
contactList.addActionHandler(new Action.Handler() {
#Override
public Action[] getActions(Object target, Object sender) {
final Table table = (Table)sender;
// if Table is in multi select mode, getValues() returns Set of item id's
if (table.isMultiSelect() && ((Set)table.getValue()).size() > 1) {
return new Action[] {delete};
} else {
return new Action[] {delete, download};
}
}
...
I see that getActions() is called by the Table component every time a row selection is made. It returns the correct Action array. However, in the UI, only one context menu is used, independent of the actions returned.
This topic is not covered in The Book of Vaadin. There is an old question but the solutions is way too complicated and the solution suggested by Joonas is not working (in fact the case i describe here).
Its a well-known issue in Vaadin from version 6. Most people (including me) work-around this by using ContextMenu Addon

Getting selected ListBox values on button Click | ZK

I am very new to ZK framework and trying to customize few things and have struck at one point which I am not sure how to achieve that.
I have a predefined section where I need to show 2 drop down and a button and need to persist those drop down values on button click event.
This is how It has been define in Spring file
<bean id="mybean" parent="parentBean" class="WidgetRenderer">
<property name="detailRenderer">
<bean class="DetailsListRenderer" parent="abstractWidgetDetailRenderer"/>
</property>
</bean>
Here mybean is being used to show main section and I am adding my drop down using this bean while button are being added to detailRenderer.
Save button is bind to onClick event, but I am not sure how I can fetch values from my custom drop down?
I am aware about binding those Dropdown with onClick event but they have to be in same class.
Can any one suggest me how I can fetch values of those drop down.I am creating down down with following code
Listbox listbox = new Listbox();
listbox.appendItem("item1", "item1");
listbox.appendItem("item2", "item2");
This is my button code in another class
protected void createUpdateStatusButton(Widget widget,Div container)
{
Button button = new Button(LabelUtils.getLabel(widget, buttonLabelName, new Object[0]));
button.setParent(container);
button.addEventListener("onClick", new EventListener()
{
public void onEvent(Event event)throws Exception
{
MyClass.this.handleSaveStatusEvent(widget, event);
}
});
}
You may want to listen to the onSelect (I prefer to use Events.ON_SELECT rather than writing the strings) which is more specific to when the Listbox selection changes.
Either way, the key is to get the information you want from the Event passed to your EventListener, rather than going back to your Listbox itself. The basic Event usually carries useful information on getTarget and getData but using more specific events (SelectEvent in this case) will give you access to more relevant info.
button.addEventListener(Events.ON_SELECT, new EventListener<SelectEvent<Listitem, MyDataObject>() {
public void onEvent(SelectEvent<Listitem, MyDataObject> event) {
// Now you can access the details of the selection event..
List<Listitem> selectedItems = event.getSelectedItems();
List<MyDataObject> selectedObjects = event.getSelectedObjects();
}
});
You can find out what events are available for different ZK widgets in their Component Reference documentation.
If I understand the question (I don't think I did in my previous response) you want to gather information from the page (eg: Listbox selection state) when the user clicks a button. Your problem being that you are using disparate classes to compose the page and so don't have access to the various ZK Components when the button is clicked.
(Ignoring the multiple class issue for a minute)
From a high level, there are sort of two camps in the ZK community. The newer MVVM approach suggests the view should push the relevant state to the back end as the user interacts with the front end. This way, the back end never needs to ask for the client state, and when the button is clicked, the values/state are on the server ready to be used.
The other camp binds the client to the server such that the back end always has access to the client Components and when the button is clicked, the values/state can easily be retrieved by interacting with the components.
Another approach is more like what I was talking about in my previous answer, to not bind the back end to the client at all but to rely on event data as much as possible. I favor this approach where it is sufficient.
Now, you're free to choose your favored approach and ZK has lots of documentation on how to work in either of these camps. The question then is where is the client state stored on the server (either pushed there by the client in MVVM or bound there in MVC). I don't think that's a question that can be solved here, that's a software engineering challenge. I personally suggest you take on standard ZK patterns so as not to but heads with the framework. If you really want to go your route, you can grab a reference to the Listbox on the fly like so:
public class Foo {
public static final String LISTBOX_ID = "myListbox";
public void renderListbox(Component parent, MyItem items) {
Listbox listbox = new Listbox();
listbox.setId(LISTBOX_ID);
listbox.setParent(parent);
for (MyItem item : items) {
listbox.appendItem(item.getName(), item);
}
}
}
public class Bar {
#Listen(Events.ON_CLICK + " = #saveButton")
public void saveButtonClicked(Event event) {
Component saveButton = event.getTarget();
Listbox listbox = (Listbox) saveButton.getFellow(Foo.LISTBOX_ID);
Set<Listitem> selection = listbox.getSelectedItems();
// do something
}
