Groovy withBatch without need for closure - groovy

I am making use of withBatch API as:
int[] modifyCount = sql.withBatch(batchSize, updateQuery) { ps ->
keyValue.each { k,v ->
ps.addBatch(keyvalue:k, newvalue:v)
}
}
In closure, I set values for the placeholders in the updateQuery. It works fine.
Suppose updateQuery has already all the fields defined and hence code inside closure above is not actually needed now.
What change is needed for that?

there is no reason to use withBatch if updateQuery contains all values.
just use
sql.execute( updateQuery )
doc: http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/api/groovy/sql/Sql.html#execute(java.lang.String)

populate object properties using lambda expression in typescript

Newbie Alert! I feel silly asking this question but I need someone to teach me the correct syntax.
I have code that looks like this:
let thing: INewThing;
thing.personId = another.personId;
thing.address = another.work.address;
thing.greades = another.subjectInfo.grades;
thing.isCurrent = another.student.isCurrent;
I know it can be written cleaner. I want to use a lamda expression, something like this:
let thing: INewThing => {
personId = another.personId,
address = another.work.address,
grades = another.subjectInfo.grades,
isCurrent = another.student.isCurrent
} as IThingUpdate;
I have looked and looked for an example. I have yet to find one that works for me. It's just syntax but no matter what I try it doesn't work.
You're just looking to create a new object, which is a pretty different thing from a "lambda" (function). Just declare the object. You don't need a function.
const thing = {
personId: another.personId,
address: another.work.address,
// use the correct spelling below - no 'greades'
grades: another.subjectInfo.grades,
isCurrent: another.student.isCurrent,
};
If the another is typed properly, that should be sufficient.
If the another object had more properties using the same path, another option would be to destructure those properties out, then declare the object with shorthand, eg:
const originalObj = { prop: 'val', nested: { foo: 'foo', bar: 'bar', unwanted: 'unwanted' } };
const { foo, bar } = originalObj.nested;
const thing = { foo, bar };
Destructuring like this, without putting the values into differently-named properties, helps reduce typos - if a property starts out, for example, as someLongPropertyName, putting it into a standalone identifier someLongPropertyName and then constructing an object with shorthand syntax ensures that the new object also has the exact property name someLongPropertyName (and not, for example, someLongPRopertyName - which isn't that uncommon of a mistake when using the more traditional object declaration format).
But since all the paths in your another object are different, this approach wouldn't work well in this particular situation.

How in operator works in Groovy?

I want to check for multiple string comparison in groovy.
For example:
if (cityName in ('AHD','BLR','DEL'))
{
}
But, using this way, it is giving syntax error.
To define in-place collection use [] instead of ():
if (cityName in ['AHD','BLR','DEL']) {
}
Anyway, in is used correctly.

Node.js global variables not working

I want to use global variables in my project, but they don't work and I don't understand why they don't work. I'm trying to use them in the following way:
global.connection=null;
function create_connection(connection) {
connection=12345;
}
create_connection(global.connection);
console.log(global.connection); // returns null, why doesn't it return 12345?
Javascript always passes variables by value. So in your case you change the string value without keeping reference to global object.
You could have done this instead
function create_connection(global) {
global.connection=12345;
}
create_connection(global);

Mock static method with no parameters in Groovy

I need to mock a static method. I'm using the EMC approach described at Mocking static methods using groovy. Like this
TestDaemon.metaClass.'static'.newDownloadManager = {downloadManager}
The method newDownloadManager has no parameters and for some reason it is not replaced. The original code is called. In debug mode I can see that the closure that I define has a parameter. May be that's the reason? How can I define a closure without parameters? Or how can I mock a static method with no parameters?
Meta class changes aren't visible to Java code. Groovy can't help you to mock a static method that gets called from Java code. You will have to use something like JMockit instead (or refactor the code under test).
A closure written like that has an implicit parameter. Write the closure with { -> } syntax. Example:
x = { println "foo" }
y = { -> println "foo" }
assert x.parameterTypes as List == [Object]
assert y.parameterTypes as List == []

Grails: How to make everything I create Upper Case?

I am currently using CSS to change everything I write to upperCase when I create an entry, but that is not enough. When I save things, the text shown in the text fields is upper case, but the real value that Grails stores stays in lower case.
I am assuming I'd need to change something in the controller or anything.
Maybe transforming the $fieldValue CSS could work??
Any ideas would help!
Thnks!
You could just write setters for your domain object?
class Domain {
String aField
void setAField( String s ){
aField = s?.toUpperCase()
}
}
I think you are asking how to change values on your domain objects to uppercase. If this is not the case please clarify the question.
You have a bunch of options. I would recommend
1) In a service method, before you save, using String.toUpperCase() to modify the appropriate values on the domain object.
or
2) You can use the underlying Hibernate interceptors by defining a beforeInsert method on your domain object, and doing the toUpperCase there. (see 5.5.1 of the grails documentation)
or
3) You could do this client side. However, if it is a "business requirement" that the values are stored as upper, then I recommend doing the translation server side. It is easier to wrap tests around that code....
Using annotations is cleanest approach
import org.grails.databinding.BindingFormat
class Person {
#BindingFormat('UPPERCASE')
String someUpperCaseString
#BindingFormat('LOWERCASE')
String someLowerCaseString
}
Here is link for it: Grails doc for data binding
You can use Groovy metaprogramming to change the setter for all domain class String-typed properties without actually writing a custom setter for each property.
To do this, add something like the following to the init closure of Bootstrap.groovy
def init = { servletContext ->
for (dc in grailsApplication.domainClasses) {
dc.class.metaClass.setProperty = { String name, value ->
def metaProperty = delegate.class.metaClass.getMetaProperty(name)
if (metaProperty) {
// change the property value to uppercase if it's a String property
if (value && metaProperty.type == String) {
value = value.toUpperCase()
}
metaProperty.setProperty(delegate, value)
} else {
throw new MissingPropertyException(name, delegate.class)
}
}
}
}
