Know which among the dependent keys caused the computed property change - node.js

In Ember, is there a way to get which among the dependent keys caused a computed property to recalculate?
eg:
myProp: Ember.computed('dep1','dep2','dep3', function(){
console.log('MyProp was recalculated due to a change in property :' <dep 1,2 or 3(get the value here)>);
return ...;
}),
Kindly let me know if I should provide any additional details.

Short answer: No, thats not possible.
Long answer: You could save away all dependency keys and compare them on recalculation.

If you are in a component.js you can check didUpdateAttributes(options) where options contains the old and new values of updated attributes.

RethinkDB using .Update and Variables

I want to manipulate a field for a given ID, and the field depends on user Input. So I have...
var fieldName = (got from the user)
r.db('DataBase').table('table').get(ID).update({fieldName: 'YES'})
This doesn't work because RethinkDB doesn't recognize 'fieldName' as a variable, and instead makes a new field called fieldName, instead of the value stored 'fieldName'.
Is there a way around this or no?
Thank you!
Found the way to do it!
Add [] around your variable. This apparently works so far
r.db('DataBase').table('table').get(ID).update({[fieldName]: 'YES'})

Validate value in field

Is there anyway to check when you type in to a field if there already are any document saved with that value in that field. Ex, if you type projectno i want to check if any other document already have that projectno. Any suggestion how i will validate that
Regards
You need a view in the database that is sorted in the first column by the field that you are using. I will assume it is a hidden view, called "(lookupUnique)". Build it and test it to make sure it is showing the field that you want in the first column, and that the values are sorted.
Now you need a way to do a lookup into this view. Ideally, you're wanting the lookup to fail -- because there is no document with the same value, in which case you allow the save to continue. But there's one other case where you might want to allow the save to continue. That's the case where the lookup succeeds because the lookup found the document that you are working on right now, which was previously saved and therefore is found in the view, and a user is now editing it again.
The #DbLookup function with the [RETURNDOCUMENTUNIQUEID] and [FAILSILENT] arguments is the IBM-recommended solution for this. I.e.,
foundId := #DbLookup("Notes":"NoCache";"":"";"(lookupUniqe)";theUniqueFieldNameGoesHereWithoutQuotes;1;[RETURNDOCUMENTUNIQUEID]);
If this formula returns "", then no match was found, therefore your code should return #Success to let the save continue. If it returns anything else, then compare the result with #DocumentUniqueId. If they match, then your code should return #Success to let the save continue. If they do not match, then you have found another document with the same value in the field, so your code should return #Failure with an appropriate error message.
Now here's the caveat: there have been known problems with [RETURNDOCUMENTUNIQUEID] in some versions of Domino, including a bug that caused Domino 6 servers to crash if an agent called ComputeWithForm on a document based on a form that used this feature. There's also a bug that causes it to return only the unid of the first match out of many matches, and so if you have duplicates this strategy in your code will allow users to re-save old documents that are already non-unique instead of forcing them to change them to make them unique, and that may or may not be what you want.
If either of those known issues might create a problem for you, then you would be better off not using [RETURNDOCUMENTUNIQUEID], and instead just do what Notes and Domino programmers did before IBM added the [RETURNDOCUMENTUNIQUEID] option in the first place: add another column to your (lookupUnique) view, and set the column value to #Text(#DocumentUniqueId). Change the 1 in the above #DbLookup formula to the number of the column that you added, and write your validation code to anticipate the possibility that you might get back an empty string, a single value, or a list of values.
If a type 45678 i return a value because there already are a document with that value. I don’t understan how i will validate it.
var dbname = session.getServerName() + "!!" + "proj\\webno.nsf";
getFieldValue = getComponent("oNo").getValue();
tmp = #DbLookup(dbname, "(webNo)", getFieldValue, ”obNo”);
if (tmp == getFieldValue)
{
Here i will do a validate. If value i return are the same as in the getFieldValue
and tmp or just getFieldValue is empty.
}
else
{
Here is it OK
}
Taking your code and modifying it. Assuming we're in the database we're creating the document in, just use #DbName() instead of trying to build the name from the session and some hard-coding. When using validation, the value of the control should be accessible simply with value. Then, just get all the values in the column and see if your value is in there.
I think the following should work.
<xp:inputText id="projectNumber" value="#{doc.ProjectNumber}">
<xp:this.validators>
<xp:validateExpression message="Value already in use">
<xp:this.expression><!CDATA[#{javascript:var usedValues = #DbColumn(#DbName(), "(webNo)", 1);
if ( #IsMember ( value, usedValues ) ) { return false };
return true;
</xp:this.expression>
</xp:validateExpression>
</xp:this.validators>
</xp:inputText>
Why don't you just generate a value for them? The simplest would be to use #Unique, but there are plenty of other ways besides having them have to create one.....

Masking answer options in Confirmit (jscript)

I'm trying to mask the answer options that show up in a 3DGrid question item in Confirmit, using the value of a background variable.
E.g. when "background1" ==1, display answer category 1. If "background1" ==0, do not display answer category 1. If "background2" ==1, display category 3, otherwise do not. In any case, display answer category 2.
Hopefully this is easy for someone out there (I'm a psychologist, not a coder...so not so much so for me :/)
Thanks!
In order to access the data inside a question/variable we can use the f function of confirmit.
for instance:
f('my_question_id').get();
When masking a question, we need to pass in a Set object so Confirmit knows what Code's to show and not to show.
Often you will mask using a Set from a previous question. So you pass in the question_id and Confirmit does all the other magic.
Here we have the problem of not having a Set, so we will have to create our own.
For this, there are 2 approaches (can be found in the scripting manual under Working with Sets > Methods of the set Object > add and remove and Working with Sets > User defined functions...)
I'm going to stick to the first one because it is easier to use ;)
What we will do first is create a script node (it doesn't matter where you create it, just somewhere in the survey, I often have a folder Functions with all my script nodes in somewhere at the bottom of my survey)
In that script file we will have our function that crates our set:
function CreateMyAwesomeSet()
{
//create an empty Set
var mySet = new Set();
//if background1 equals 1, add 1 to our Set
if ( f('background1').get() == '1' )
{
mySet.add(1);
}
//return the Set of allowed Codes
return mySet;
}
Here we declare a function that we now can use wherever we want to.
So now, If we want to use this Set, we add a Code Mask to your grid:
CreateMyAwesomeSet()
You can ofcourse change the name of the function, and add extra if statements.
hope this helps

Dust: How to check if an array which is passed to a dust file contains a certain element or not using dust helpers?

res.render('home',o);
o={
name:"Free Lunch",
privilege:[3,4],
const:{
RESET:1,
ADD:2,
DELETE:3
MANAGE:4,
REPORT:5
}
}
I want to check if dust-helper if condition whether the value corresponding to REPORT which is 5 is present in the privilege array or not.
<#if cond="......">
Any idea how to do it?
You could iterate over the array and test each element but I can't think how you could use/store the fact after the iteration. I don't know a way to do this with the current language facilities but that is why custom dust helpers are provided. You could build a {#arrayContains key=array value=value} sort of helper. Since you don't say what you want to do once you determine the existence/non-existence, it is unclear what else the helper might do after the check.
{#if cond="('{con.REPORT}' && '{con.REPORT}'.length)"}I EXIST DO SOMETHING{/if}
Before you test, make sure to add a , after the DELETE attribute

sharepoint - add custom column to list via object model

I'm having trouble figuring out how to add a custom column type to a list with the object model.
SPFieldCollection.Add() has a parameter SPFieldType, but that must be one of the enumerated values in the Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldType enumeration, thus it cannot be used to create columns of a custom type.
I next attempted using SPFieldCollection.CreateNewField() but when I call SPField.Update() on the returned value I get an exception: "ArgumentException was unhandled. Value does not fall within the expected range.".
I see a reference to SPFieldCollection.AddFieldAsXml() here: How do I add custom column to existing WSS list template but there's hardly any info and I'm not sure that's the right track to take.
UPDATE: I found a post on AddFieldAsXml: http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser/archive/2005/07/21/420147.aspx and it turns out it's very easy and worked well for me. Posting anyway in hopes it will help someone else.
SPFieldCollection.AddFieldAsXml() is the way to go as far as I can tell. See here for an example: http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser/archive/2005/07/21/420147.aspx
Try with:
SPField newField = null;
newField= web.Fields.CreateNewField("MyFieldTypeName", fieldName);
web.Fields.Add(newField);
newField = web.Fields[fieldName];
// set some properties
newField.ShowInDisplayForm = false;
newField.ShowInViewForms = true;
newField.Update();
