Dynamically change textbox to multiline - firefox-addon

I am working on a Firefox extension. I have a simple single-line textbox. When a user pastes in text, I want to detect if the text has newlines and if it does, I want to expand the textbox into a multiline textbox.
I have
<textbox id="textbox" rows="5" wrap="off" newlines="pasteintact" oninput="adjustTextbox(this)" flex="1"/>
and on the JS side, I have
adjustTextbox(txtBox) {
if(!txtBox.getAttribute('multiline') && txtBox.value.match(/[\r\n]/)) {
txtBox.setAttribute('multiline', true);
}
}
The problem is that, while the textbox does get converted to a 5 row multiline textbox, the value that is pasted in is lost and the textbox is blank. Am I doing something wrong here?

Short answer: no, you aren't doing anything wrong, the value is expected to be cleared when you switch from single-line to multi-line. Long answer: the <textbox> element doesn't actually hold the value itself, it rather contains an anonymous <html:input type="text>. When you add the multiline attribute a different XBL binding applies to the element and that anonymous text field is replaced by <html:textarea>. Obviously, the value gets lost in the process.
You could try to save the value and to restore it after you add the multiline attribute. The problem is that it is hard to tell when the binding actually applies, there is a delay that is not really predictable. So the better solution would be to have both a single-line and a multi-line text box in your document and make sure that one of them is always collapsed:
<textbox id="textbox" newlines="pasteintact" oninput="adjustTextbox(this)" flex="1"/>
<textbox id="textbox2" collapsed="true" multiline="true" rows="5" wrap="off" flex="1"/>
And on the JavaScript side:
function adjustTextbox(txtBox) {
if(!txtBox.getAttribute('multiline') && txtBox.value.match(/[\r\n]/)) {
var txtBox2 = document.getElementById("textbox2");
txtBox2.value = txtBox.value;
txtBox.collapsed = true;
txtBox2.collapsed = false;
}
}

In react-konva (the HTML canvas lib), How can I emulate a classical editable <input > and get or read the string value entered there?

Considering this (buggy until other questions are answered) demo from here:
https://codesandbox.io/s/kanbanboard-lackofcarddnd-doce75?file=/src/index.js
where the red < Text /> emulates a button that inserts a < CustomCardContainer /> based on the 2nd that I wish it could be editable and readable as an < input >, I would ask:
How can I emulate an input and read its value where a string in {rows}x{cols} format is expected?
Edit: I'm not closed on just a DOM < input >, I'm open to any HTML canvas way in react for a text to be entered and get its value. I just want get the string value.
Until now I hard-coded the value in line 86 with let inputValue = "10x2"; but would like to insert < CustomCardContainer /> of different sizes in order to achieve this result from here:
sectioned custom kanban board
https://konvajs.org/docs/sandbox/Editable_Text.html
"Konva has not support for such case. We recommend to edit the user input outside of your canvas with native DOM elements such as input or textarea."
you can use contenteditable attribute for the textarea.
const pseudoInput = document.getElementById('input');
pseudoInput.addEventListener('keyup', (e) => {
console.log(e.target.innerHTML.split('x'));
})
<div contenteditable id="input">10x20</div>

Svelte input binding breaks when a reactive value is a reference type?

(I'm new to Svelte so it is quite likely that I'm doing something wrong here)
UPDATE: I've added a second, slightly different REPL which may demonstrate the problem better. Try this one: https://svelte.dev/repl/ad7a65894f8440ad9081102946472544?version=3.20.1
I've encountered a problem attempting to bind a text input to a reactive value.
I'm struggling to describe the problem in words, so hopefully a reduced demo of the issue in the attached REPL will make more sense.
https://svelte.dev/repl/6c8068ed4cc048919f71d87f9d020696?version=3.20.1
The demo contains two custom <Selector> components on a page.
The first component is passed two string values ("one" and "two"):
<Selector valueOne="one" valueTwo="two"/>
Clicking the buttons next to the input field sets selectedValue to one of these values.
This, in turn, triggers the following reactive declaration to update:
$: value = selectedValue
The input field is bound to this reactive value:
<input type="text" bind:value>
So clicking the "One" button sets the input text to "one", and clicking the "Two" button sets the input field to "two".
Importantly though, you can still type anything into the input field.
The second component is passed two array values:
<Selector valueOne={[1, "one"]} valueTwo={[2, "two"]}/>
Again, clicking the buttons sets selectedValue to one of these.
However this time the reactive declaration depends on an array element:
$: value = selectedValue[1]
Everything works as before, except now you can no longer type into the input field at all.
So the question is - why does <input bind:value> behave differently for these two:
$: value = aString
vs
$: value = anArray[x]
It seems that this is only an issue when using two-way bindings.
By switching to a one-way and an on:input handler, the problem goes away:
i.e. instead of this:
<input type="text" bind:value={valX}/>
use this:
<input type="text" value={valX} on:input={e => valX = e.target.value}/>
I'm pretty sure your reactive declaration is overwriting your bound value as soon as it changes, which is with every key stroke on the input and every button press. Meaning it technically is working, you're just reverting it each time it changes. Check out this version of it that uses a watcher.
Also binding to a reactive declaration means you're never actually changing the variables with the input (which you can see in your JSON result on the first selector when you type in the input the value doesn't update only on button click).
Why not lose the reactive declaration and bind directly to the variable you want. Then use an {#if} block to switch between which version of the input you're showing based on the truthiness of index?
<script>
export let valueOne;
export let valueTwo;
export let index;
let selectedValue = index? [] : '';
let selectValue = (val) => selectedValue = val;
</script>
{#if index}
<input type="text" bind:value={selectedValue[index]} placeholder="Type anything...">
{:else}
<input type="text" bind:value={selectedValue} placeholder="Type anything...">
{/if}
<button on:click={() => selectValue(valueOne)}>One</button>
<button on:click={() => selectValue(valueTwo)}>Two</button>
<p>
<strong>Selected value:</strong> {JSON.stringify(selectedValue)}
</p>
By binding directly to the selectedValue or an index of it you have the added benefit of changing the value with the input. Here's a working example in the REPL

Is there material input type number in angular 2 dart

I was tring to use material component in angular 2 dart as a number input:
<material-input type="number"></material-input>
but it behaves like a normal input. In docs it sais it supports type "number". Am i doing anything wrong? Or isn't number type implemented yet?
Thank you for any suggestions.
I can share my personal experiment trying to have a number (integer) input. It does not work perfectly on all browsers but I wanted to have the proper keyboard shown on Android and iOS. What I did was forcing the type on the inner input element programmatically. It seems that on Firefox it does not prevent entering text but does display a message ("Please enter a number"). It does not handle decimal neither (i.e. it does expect an integer)
initInputNumber(MaterialInputComponent inputComponent) {
inputComponent.type = "number";
InputElement inputElement = inputComponent.inputEl.nativeElement;
inputElement.type = "number";
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6178556/phone-numeric-keyboard-for-text-input
// As of mid-2015, I believe this is the best solution:
// <input type="number" pattern="[0-9]*" inputmode="numeric">
inputElement.attributes["inputmode"] = "numeric";
inputElement.pattern = "[0-9]*"; // this and only this works 0-9
}
I don't know if that's the best solution but I find it hard to have a complete cross-browser solution
I think you need to set an errorMsg
<material-input type="number" errorMsg="That's not a number"></material-input>
This line https://github.com/dart-lang/angular2_components/blob/a0eff879a6cb347b8beb95ed758c02c6dd9dfaa0/lib/src/components/material_input/material_input.dart#L232 seems to indicate that type="tel" and type="number" are set to text for the internal input element, while this line https://github.com/dart-lang/angular2_components/blob/a0eff879a6cb347b8beb95ed758c02c6dd9dfaa0/lib/src/components/material_input/material_input.dart#L61 says that errorMsg is used when and invalid number is entered when type="number".

knockoutJS checkbox and textbox working together

I have a checkbox and a textbox (both are enabled and the checkbox starts unchecked [false]).
What I need is the following:
When I write something in the textbox and leave it (loses focus) the
checkbox is checked automatically.
When I write something in the
textbox, remove it and leave it the checkbox should remain
unchecked.
When I write something in the textbox and click the
checkbox, the checkbox is checked now and the data in the textbox is
not cleared.
When I write something in the textbox and click the
checkbox twice, first happens step 3 and then the checkbox is
unchecked and the data in the textbox is cleared.
When I click in the checkbox the checkbox is checked, then I write in the textbox
and uncheck the checkbox, then the data in the textbox is cleared.
What I tried so far is the following code:
//The checked property in the checkbox is binded to
that.BuildingCriteria.IncludeLoadingDocks
that.BuildingCriteria.IncludeLoadingDocks.subscribe(function (newValue) {
if (!that.updatingTextBox && !newValue) {
that.BuildingCriteria.LoadingDocksMin(null);
}
});
//The textbox value is binded to that.BuildingCriteria.LoadingDocksMin
that.BuildingCriteria.LoadingDocksMin.subscribe(function (newValue) {
that.updatingTextBox = true;
that.BuildingCriteria.IncludeLoadingDocks(true);
that.updatingTextBox = false;
});
This works if you try all the steps above, for all of them but then, when you try some of them again stops working for some... specially if you write something in the textbox with the checkbox unchecked and then leave the textbox, it doesn't check the checkbox automatically anymore.
I tried using flags as you can see but I couldn't make it to work on ALL the cases ALWAYS.
I've been working on this for days so if you can help me out soon I'd appreciate it a lot!
Thanks in advance!!
It's near impossible to gave a straight up answer to your question, but from it I feel the closest thing may be to note a few KO features that you may yet need to consider.
The value binding supports a valueUpdate = 'afterkeydown' version, which would allow you to keep your textbox and checkbox in synch real time. This may well remove the need for requirement 3.
The computed observable supports specializing read and write operations, which at times may be clearer than using subscriptions.
You may need to introduce a "grace" period for the checkbox, if you must stick with requirement 3. Just don't allow updating the checkbox too shortly after leaving the textbox. The throttle extender and hasfocus binding can help you with that.
There's a great blogpost on when to use which feature.
In any case, your requirements are a bit hard to understand without the business case, and it might even be that you're experiencing an XY-problem. From your implementation requirements I'd assume functional (not implementation) requirements like this:
There's a textbox to hold the actual order/criterium/name/whatever.
There's a checkbox to indicate such an order/etc is wanted.
This checkbox should be in synch (checked) with whether the user typed some text.
This checkbox should be in synch (unchecked) if the user empties the textbox.
If the user checks the checkbox then
If there was text for the order/etc it should be cleared.
If there was no text a default order/etc should be suggested.
Here's a jsfiddle with a demo of how you could approach these functional requirements. For completeness, here's the relevant code, starting with the View:
<input type="checkbox" data-bind="checked: isChecked" />
<input type="textbox" data-bind="value: someText, valueUpdate: 'afterkeydown', selectSuggestion: someText" />
The custom binding for selecting the "default suggestion text":
var suggestion = "<enter something>";
ko.bindingHandlers.selectSuggestion = {
update: function(element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor, viewModel, bindingContext) {
var currentText = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(valueAccessor());
if (currentText === suggestion) element.select();
}
};
And the ViewModel:
var ViewModel = function() {
var self = this;
var privateIsChecked = ko.observable(false);
var privateText = ko.observable("");
self.isChecked = ko.computed({
read: privateIsChecked,
write: function(value) {
if (!privateIsChecked() && value && privateText() === "") {
privateText(suggestion);
}
if (privateIsChecked() && !value) {
privateText("");
}
privateIsChecked(value);
}
});
self.someText = ko.computed({
read: privateText,
write: function(value) {
privateIsChecked(value !== "");
privateText(value);
}
});
}
I'm aware that this doesn't directly answer your question, but like I said that's pretty hard to do for us on Stack Overflow, without knowledge of your business case.

How can I change the way GRAILS GSP fieldValue formats Integers?

I have a field in my domain object which I define as an Integer...
Integer minPrice
I then access it in a GSP page as follows:
${fieldValue(bean: myBean, field: 'minPrice')}
and what I get in my HTML is...
100,000
which is not an Integer, it's a String. Worse still it's a formatted String in a particular locale.
This is a problem because I have a SELECT control on an HTML FORM which has a (non-ordinal) range of values for minPrice which I want to store in my domain object as integers, and I don't want to store an index to some array of values that I have to repeatedly map back and forth between, I want the value itself.
My select control looks like this...
<g:select name="minPrice"
value="${fieldValue(bean: personInstance, field: 'minPrice')}"
onchange="setDirty()"
noSelection='${['0':'Select a number...']}'
from="${[
['name':'100,000', 'id':100000],
['name':'200,000', 'id':200000],
['name':'300,000', 'id':300000]
]}"
optionKey="id" optionValue="name"
/>
When I get the value from the SELECT field to post back to the server it correctly has an Integer value, which I persist. However the return trip never pre-selects the right row in the drop-down because the value is this comma separated String.
This works fine elsewhere in my code for small numbers where the comma formatting doesn't come into play, and the round-trip in and out of the SELECT is successful. But values >999 don't work.
The docs say "This tag will inspect a bean which has been the subject of data binding and obtain the value of the field either from the originally submitted value contained within the bean's errors object populating during data binding or from the value of a bean's property. Once the value is obtained it will be automatically HTML encoded."
It's that last bit that I want to avoid as it appears to format Integers. So, what little bit of Grails/GSP magic do I need to know so I can get my Integer to be rendered as an integer into my SELECT and pre-select the right row?
EDIT:
I have tried some further things based on the answers below, with pretty disappointing results so far...
If I put the <gformatNumber/> tag in my <g:select/> I get the page code as text in the browser.
<g:select name="minPrice"
value='<g:formatNumber number="${fieldValue(bean: personInstance, field: 'minPrice')}" format="#" />'
onchange="setDirty()"
noSelection='${['0':'Select a number...']}'
from="${[
['name':'100,000', 'id':100000],
['name':'200,000', 'id':200000],
['name':'300,000', 'id':300000],
]}"
optionKey="id" optionValue="name"
/>
Using the number format tag from GSP on my Integer value of 100000 like this...
var x = <g:formatNumber number="${fieldValue(bean: personInstance, field: 'minPrice')}" format="#" />;
gives 100. Remember that the fieldValue gives back 100,000, so this is not a surprise.
If I use the jsp taglib like this...
<%# taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
var y = <fmt:formatNumber value="${fieldValue(bean: personInstance, field: 'minPrice')}" pattern=".00"/>;
I get an error from the page compiler Cannot format given Object as a Number.
I guess I have a wider concern than I can't seem to get an Integer value as a genuine integer into my code if it is greater than 999 because of the default (and unconfigurable) behaviour of the fieldValue directive. However my specific problem of not being able to pre-select an Integer value in a SELECT control is not going away. At the moment I'm at a bit of a loss.
Anyone have any further ideas?
Do you want to show the raw number? like 100000?
You can get the field directly:
${myBean.minPrice}
I think you have at least two possible solutions.
One is to use the JSTL taglib as described in the docs.
Another, cooler way is to use the 'formatNumber' tag included with grails - also in the docs.
For your purpose, the use of that tag might look like this:
<g:formatNumber number="${fieldValue(bean: myBean, field: 'minPrice')}" format="######" />
Use the 'groupingUsed' attribute in combination with your format:
<g:formatNumber number="${fieldValue(bean: personInstance, field: 'minPrice')}"
format="#"
groupingUsed="true" />
Better use custom PropertyEditor in order not to bother with formatNumber tag every time you output a value.
Like, declare a bean in resources.groovy:
myOwnCustomEditorRegistrar(CustomEditorRegistrar)
And create your class:
class CustomEditorRegistrar implements PropertyEditorRegistrar {
void registerCustomEditors(PropertyEditorRegistry registry) {
registry.registerCustomEditor(BigDecimal.class, new MyBigDecimalEditor(BigDecimal.class))
}
}
Change
var x = <g:formatNumber number="${fieldValue(bean: personInstance, field: 'minPrice')}" format="#" />;
to
var x = <g:formatNumber number="${personInstance.minPrice}" format="#" />;
I found the best way to handle this was doing what Victor Sergienko (upped btw) hinted at with using a PropertyEditor.
Create an editor for Integer, put in src/groovy:
class IntegerEditor extends PropertyEditorSupport {
void setAsText(String s) {
if (s) value = s as Integer
}
public String getAsText() {
value
}
}
and register it using a PropertyEditorRegistrar (also in src/groovy):
class MyEditorRegistrar implements PropertyEditorRegistrar {
public void registerCustomEditors(PropertyEditorRegistry reg) {
reg.registerCustomEditor(Integer, new IntegerEditor())
}
}
add your registrar into the spring config (grails-app/conf/spring/resource.groovy):
beans = {
customEditorRegistrar(MyEditorRegistrar)
}
From now on any Integers that are bound, receive errors (or not) and then redisplayed with the fieldValue tag should be displayed by Integer's default toString - you can customise this behaviour in the editor by amending the getAsText implementation.
Personally I would create a wrapper for this kind of thing so you can set up an editor just for that type rather than across the board for a frequently used type. Though I realise this would mean a little bit of mapping when persisting to the DB...
I have a solution/work-round... The answer seems to be, "do nothing".
Instead of trying to parse the stringified number back into an integer, I left it as a formatted string for the purposes of the select. This meant I had to change my from values as follows:
<g:select name="minPrice"
value="${fieldValue(bean: personInstance, field: 'minPrice')}"
onchange="setDirty()"
noSelection='${['0':'Select a number...']}'
from="${[
['name':'100,000', 'id':'100,000'],
['name':'200,000', 'id':'200,000'],
['name':'300,000', 'id':'300,000']
]}"
optionKey="id" optionValue="name"
/>
Of course when I post back to the server the value that gets sent is "100,000" as an escaped String. What I realised was that Grails, or Spring, or Hibernate, or something in the stack, would do the coersion of the String back into the right Integer type prior to persistence.
This works just fine for my purposes, however I think it is basically a work-round rather than a solution because of locale issues. If my thousand separator is a "." and my decimal separator is ",", which it is for much of Europe, then my code won't work.
Use like this :
<g:formatNumber number="${fieldValue(bean: personInstance, field: 'minPrice')}"
format="#.##"/>;
