I bought a 3rd party google app script to use. However, it can only be called with onEdit method and their codes are private that i cannot make change. Also, what i need is based on time-trigger instead of onEdit-trigger. Thus, I tried to build my own event to trigger the function:
// This function work well and can call the 3rd Party App Script
// It is triggered by onEdit googlesheet, which works well
function funcOnEdit(e) {
3rdPartyApp.funcOnEdit(e));
}
// Below is the jsontostring result of the event e
// {authMode:"FULL",oldValue:"false",range:{columnEnd:6,columnStart:6,rowEnd:3,rowStart:3},source:{},triggerUid:"xxx",user:{email:"xxxx#gmail.com",nickname:"xxxx"},value:"TRUE"}
So I build a similar event object which triggered by time to make it happened.
function funcOnTimeTrigger(e) {
var e1 = {authMode:"FULL",oldValue:"false",range:{columnEnd:6,columnStart:6,rowEnd:3,rowStart:3},source:{},triggerUid:"xxx",user:{email:"xxxx#gmail.com",nickname:"xxxx"},value:"TRUE"};
e1.triggerUid = e.triggerUid;
3rdPartyApp.funcOnEdit(e1));
}
Unfortunately, I cannot find any document and reference code to build an "onEdit" event. Thats why, I tried find the object/class myself.
function getObjType(obj) {
var type = typeof(obj);
if (type === "object") {
try {
// Try a dummy method, catch the error
type = obj.getObjTypeXYZZY();
} catch (error) {
// Should be a TypeError - parse the object type from error message
// type = error.message.split(" object ")[1].replace('.','');
type = error.message;
}
}
return type;
}
// Below function is triggered by onEdit
function funcOnEdit_checker(e) {
getObjType(e);
}
// Unfortunately, it cannot show the object name or classname
I have no idea what to do next, may i know if it is possible to build an event class/object ourselves in Google Script App? Can anyone give some hints on how to do so? or it is not possible?
I want to create the event-obj "developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/triggers/events" manually and pass the event "e" to 3rdPartyApp.funcOnEdit function. Is it possible to do so?
Reference:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/triggers/installable
Thanks #Cooper idea, who share same thought as me.
And finally I found the result # Explain purpose of `e` event parameter in onEdit
Below is my answer (not yet optimized but work):
function funcOnTimeTrigger(e) {
var e2 = {}
e2["authMode"] = ScriptApp.AuthMode.FULL
e2['user'] = "me";
e2['range'] = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("XXXXXX").getRange(5,3).activate();
e2.range.columnStart = 5;
e2.range.columnEnd = 5;
e2.range.rowStart = 3;
e2.range.rowEnd = 3;
e2['source'] = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
e2['oldValue'] = "old";
e2['value'] = "new";
// Run The Program
3rdPartyApp.funcOnEdit(e2);
}

I'm trying to make a menu where the scene changes when the player clicks a button using the start method. At first, I had it all in the create function with this:
var levelOne = this.add.sprite(200, 400, 'LevelOne').setInteractive();
levelOne.on('pointerdown', function (pointer) {
this.scene.start('play');
});
But this led to an error in which it said that this.scene.start isn't a function.
I looked at a previous example where the method worked, the big difference was that the method was in the update function, so I rewrote my code to have this in the create function:
this.choice = 0;
var levelOne = this.add.sprite(200, 400, 'LevelOne').setInteractive();
levelOne.on('pointerdown', function (pointer) {
this.choice = 1;
//game.settings = {
//gameTimer: 60000
//}
});
And this in the update function:
if (this.choice == 1){
this.scene.start('play');
}
Sadly, this didn't work either and didn't even give an error message. I can't tell what went wrong. Please help.
You have to pass the scene as the context to the event function on(...) (link to the documentation), as the third parameter, so that you can access the scene properties and functions in the event callback.
levelOne.on('pointerdown', function (pointer) {
this.scene.start('play');
}, this); // <-- you have to add "this"
I'm trying to create a small plugin to make my day-to-day job easier. I have faced a very strange situation within the popup.js script. The promise function randomly refuses to get executed. I have spent some hours trying to debug or at least understand where the issue could be but without any results.
Here is the skeleton of the code:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
// some initialization
document.getElementById("signinbutton").addEventListener("click", function(event) {
try {
// some more initialization
var user_email = '';
var advertiserId = '';
var checkibm = '';
user_email = $('#emailfield').val().trim();
advertiserId = $('#advertiseridfield').val().trim();
checkibm = $('#checkibm').is(':checked');
if (advertiserId && checkibm) {
_act = 'getTokenIdByAdvId',
_data = advertiserId
}
else if (advertiserId && !checkibm) {
_act = 'getTokenIdByAdvId',
_data = advertiserId
}
else if (user_email && validateEmail(user_email))
{
_act = 'getTokenIdByEmail',
_data = user_email
}
else
{
throw new Error("Valid input has not been provided");
}
sendMessagePromise({
act : 'getTokenIdByAdvId',
data: '16910'//encodeURIComponent(user_email)
})
.then(responseHandler)
.then(responseReplaceTokenHandler)
.then(show_ok('Done'))
.catch(failureCallback);
}
catch (error){
//doing some error catching here
});
});
The code above works perfectly. However, as soon as I fill in the real values in sendMessagePromise e.g
//_act and _data show the proper values when inspected
sendMessagePromise({
act : _act,
data: _data//encodeURIComponent(user_email)
})
the flow skips execution of sendMessagePromise and any other chained function, except the last one ".then(show_ok('Done'))", i.e the only result is the "Done" message on the screen.
I made sure the values are correct. I'm able to debug step-by-step and see the values being properly supplied. I have also put a bunch of console messages inside the chain promise functions to see where the execution gets stuck, but it seems like it doesn't even start executing sendMessagePromise.
As soon as I replace expression back to hardcoded values i.e
sendMessagePromise({
act : 'getTokenIdByAdvId',
data: '16910'//encodeURIComponent(user_email)
})
it starts working again. I'm really stuck and not sure how to debug or which steps to take further.
Please assist
I am trying to make some modifications to a Node.js app that I forked, what I am trying to do is call a function within another one.
I have attempted a crack at this by simply calling the method as follows but I'm not really that familiar with Node.js so I'm not sure I'm doing it right.
'use strict';
/*
* initalize the class
*/
function MessageBot(bot, user, cache) {
this.bot = bot;
this.user = user;
this.cache = cache;
}
/*
* perform commands
*/
MessageBot.prototype.librarySearch = function(searchText) {
var self = this;
// call SOS function - this is the bit that doesn't work
MessageBot.prototype.callSos(somenumbervar);
}
MessageBot.prototype.callSos = function(number) {
// do something else here
var self = this;
var commandList = self.cache.get('commandList');
}
Remember that this ostensibly inherits the prototype (directly or indirectly). Therefore, you can just do this.callSos(somenumbervar).
If you want to reach the method through the prototype, you have to tell it what this is. With your current code, this in callSos() will be MessageBot.prototype -- certainly not what you want. So you can also do MessageBot.prototype.callSos.call(this, somenumbervar).
Which approach to take depends on how dynamic you want your objects to be. For example, if you want consumers of MessageBot to be able to "override" callSos() by installing their own method, then you should take the first approach (this.callSos()) as it will look up callSos in the object's inheritance chain. This process will only reach the method you've installed on the prototype if the method hasn't been overridden. IMO this is the approach you should take unless you have a very good reason not to.
See this example, which demonstrates how the two approaches differ regarding overriding, while also showing that both work with regards to passing the correct this value (since both methods can retrieve the expected value from this.data):
function ClassA(data) {
this.data = data;
}
ClassA.prototype.foo = function () {
console.log("this.bar() returned: " + this.bar());
console.log("ClassA.prototype.bar.call(this) returned: " + ClassA.prototype.bar.call(this));
};
ClassA.prototype.bar = function () {
return 'in the ClassA prototype, our data is ' + this.data;
};
console.log('--obj1-- (no override)');
var obj1 = new ClassA(3.14);
obj1.foo();
console.log('--obj2-- (override)');
var obj2 = new ClassA(42);
obj2.bar = function () {
return 'in an overriding method, our data is ' + this.data;
};
obj2.foo();
I am using the source at http://blog.symprogress.com/2010/11/ribbon-insert-any-web-part-using-javascript/ to handle user web part button click event.
The function 'addWebPart()' calls a function 'SP.Ribbon.WebPartComponent.getWebPartAdder()' which is supposed to return adder instance but sometimes it returns undefined.
If I add a while loop to wait for the instance value to return correctly, the browser in my VM stalls for some time. When an instance is returned, the browser becomes responsive again. This only happens in some instances.
I am using SharePoint 2013 and the section of code I am referring to is:
addWebPart = function (wpCategory, wpTitle) {
var webPartAdder = SP.Ribbon.WebPartComponent.getWebPartAdder();
while (webPartAdder == undefined)
webPartAdder = SP.Ribbon.WebPartComponent.getWebPartAdder();
// ... Other stuff ...
}
How can this issue be resolved?
For anyone looking for an answer to this question, turns out you have to call 'LoadWPAdderOnDemand()' function then wait for the event '_spEventWebPartAdderReady'. Then query for 'window.WPAdder':
addWebPartDelayed = function (webPartAdder, wpCategory, wpTitle) {
var webPart = findWebPart(webPartAdder, wpCategory, wpTitle);
if (webPart) {
var zone = WPAdder._zones[0];
var wpid = WPAdder._createWebpartPlaceholderInRte();
WPAdder.addItemToPageByItemIdAndZoneId(webPart.id, zone.id, 0, wpid);
}
else
alert('ERROR: Web part not found! Please try again after sometime.');
},
addWebPart = function (wpCategory, wpTitle) {
var webPartAdder = window.WPAdder;
if (webPartAdder == undefined) {
LoadWPAdderOnDemand();
ExecuteOrDelayUntilEventNotified(
function () {
var webPartAdder = window.WPAdder;
addWebPartDelayed(webPartAdder, wpCategory, wpTitle);
},
"_spEventWebPartAdderReady");
}
else
addWebPartDelayed(webPartAdder, wpCategory, wpTitle);
};
I have the next piece of code:
function Server() {
this.isStarted = false;
// var isStarted = false;
function status() {
return isStarted;
}
console.log(status());
}
var a = new Server()
When I run it I get
ReferenceError: isStarted is not defined
at status (/a/fr-05/vol/home/stud/yotamoo/workspace/ex4/text.js:7:10)
at new Server (/a/fr-05/vol/home/stud/yotamoo/workspace/ex4/text.js:10:14)
at Object.<anonymous> (/a/fr-05/vol/home/stud/yotamoo/workspace/ex4/text.js:
However if I change this.isStarted = false; to var isStarted = false; everything works fine.
Does anyone care to explain why?
Thanks
This referes to the owner of something. See this article about this. Where as var declares a local variable.
In your case, you want to refer to know if a server is started, so you need to add 'this' to your status function.
function status() {
return this.isStarted;
}
Long story short. Since isStarted, when defined as this.isStarted = true, is a property of the current object (JavaScript this keyword refers to an object where the function was called), in status function you will have to access it as this.isStarted.
Declaring it as variable (var) is different. Technically, isStatus will become a property of hidden lexical scope object. You have to access it as just isStatus in the whole Server function body and and all of the child functions.
