Some data retrieving issue

wathsala · May 31st, 2015, 04:06 AM

hi,

I faced some issue when I run stockDog app.

in side addStock-modal.html we select company's label using following directive

<input type="text"
class="form-control"
id="stock-symbol"
placeholder="Stock Symbol"
ng-model="newStock.company"
ng-options="company as company.label for company in companies"
bs-typeahead
required>

click save button which will call following function

$scope.addStock = function(){

$log.debug(" stocks length " + $scope.stocks.length);

$scope.watchlist.addStock(
{
listId:$routeParams.listId,
company:$scope.newStock.company,
shares: $scope.newStock.shares
}
);

addStockModal.hide();
$scope.newStock = {};
};

we pass company informaion like this $scope.newStock.company

it returns only company name

so when we try to access stock.company.symbol ,it is undefine

thanks

The Stock Symbol is not showing in the resulting table under the watchlist that I have added the stock to...the number of shares does show there, but not the stock symbol. I have entered a new thread and hope somebody may know the issue with this section of the book.

The company field is being assigned string value instead of an object, my fix (in watchlist.js controller) was to find and assign an object to that field. See below in bold

Code:

           var c = _.find($scope.companies, function(company){
                return company.label == $scope.newStock.company;
            });

            $scope.watchlist.addStock({
                listId: $routeParams.listId,
                company: c,
                shares: $scope.newStock.shares
            });

Curious, I needed no such change for the code to work.

What version of AngularStrap are you using? Discovered issues have been down to changes in dependencies such as the following from another thread.

thanks

Are your books showing the same code as on Diego Netto's copy on github?

I also experienced this similar issue. However, I think the problem is related to a browser specific issue. Using a different browser removed my problem. What browser are you using currently?
I originally used firefox when I've experienced the problem. However, using chrome with the same codebase, it worked correctly.

Based on my observation:
On firefox, the post request sends the company field as a string, so the company.symbol gets resolved as undefined.
While on chrome, the company field is sent as an object, which is the correct behavior.

I haven't studied why the post behavior is different on the browsers though.

I have been using Firefox. That is probably the issue if it was for you. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, Chrome recommended in the book.

Interestingly my updated version of the code works on Firefox. Maybe later versions of the dependencies handle the compatibility issue with Firefox.

So your thinking Chrome works better for this?

Yes. I think I'd go as far as knowing it works.

Need to try. Will let you know how it works.
