I found another strange issue with select input.
I can not change value of select programatically.
I mean I can change value, but it is not reflected in widget UI.
Consider my code:
public static <T> Select<T> create(String label, String name) {
Select<T> input = Select.create(label);
input.getInputElement().setAttribute("name", name);
return input;
}
Select<TimeZoneDto> timeZone;
timeZone = ApSelectBox.create(TRANSLATIONS.timeZone(), "timeZone");
ntpEnabled.setValue(card.getInitialValue().isNtpEnabled());
time.setValue(card.getInitialValue().getTime());
date.setValue(card.getInitialValue().getDate());
DomGlobal.console.log("selected before " + timeZone.getSelectedOption().getDisplayValue());
DomGlobal.console.log("selected before " + timeZone.getSelectedIndex());
DomGlobal.console.log("selected before " + timeZone.getValue());
timeZone.setValue(card.getInitialValue().getTimeZone());
dateTimeDto.setTimeZone(card.getInitialValue().getTimeZone());
DomGlobal.console.log("selected after " + timeZone.getSelectedOption().getDisplayValue());
DomGlobal.console.log("selected after " + timeZone.getSelectedIndex());
DomGlobal.console.log("selected after " + timeZone.getValue());and logs:
selected before (UTC+00:00) Sao Tome
TimeComponent.java:156 selected before 48
TimeComponent.java:157 selected before TimeZoneDto(displayName=(UTC+00:00) Sao Tome, systemName=Africa/Sao_Tome)
FormCard.java:221 ready true
FormCard.java:226 IV DateTimeDto(time=15:47:08, date=2021-10-15, timeZone=TimeZoneDto(displayName=(UTC) Coordinated Universal Time, systemName=UTC), ntpEnabled=false, ntpServerUrl=0.pool.ntp.org)
FormCard.java:227 CV DateTimeDto(time=15:47:08, date=2021-10-15, timeZone=TimeZoneDto(displayName=(UTC) Coordinated Universal Time, systemName=UTC), ntpEnabled=false, ntpServerUrl=0.pool.ntp.org)
FormCard.java:228 Changed false
TimeComponent.java:160 selected after (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time
TimeComponent.java:161 selected after 45
TimeComponent.java:162 selected after TimeZoneDto(displayName=(UTC) Coordinated Universal Time, systemName=UTC)
but my dto has null value:
CV DateTimeDto(time=15:53:09, date=2021-10-15, timeZone=null, ntpEnabled=false, ntpServerUrl=0.pool.ntp.org)and the UI:
For the 2nd one .. I use set value on select all the time and it works.. but you need to make sure the select is manipulated with options before you call select ..otherwise it will not change the value.
curious if anyone has tried to use vs code for ide and debugging? I have used eclipse for ages, but cant really get integrated debugging working with it and gwt. We are starting to use vs code for the php backend and some flutter/dart testing. I'm a bit hesitant to add a 3rd ide in, but will if needed because simple debugging is ok in chrome console, but it's just too slow and cumbersome for serious debugging
The problem with debugging gwt apps as java is not with the ide but with the browsers ..the plugins that allowed this are not supported by the browsers any more.. you still can setup the ide to do a js debug for gwt apps ..but you will get the same code style and naming as in the browser
I know there was some work made in the gwt eclipse plugin to support the debugging ..but not sure if it still works
I love how VSC is light and works as an ide ..but I still cant replace intellij with it
it isn't real java debugging, just js debugging with mapping back to the original java
I'd much rather program in c/c++ than flutter/dart
but it's really hard to make web apps in c++
played a bit with QT web asm, but that's it's own headache
Everything has pros and cons... but for an ide i am very sold into intellij after so many years on eclipse ..I dont think I will use eclipse anymore unless forced to
better integration with either maven or gradle too
Intellij also with different flavors and setup provide a single experience for many languages.
connect it to your DB and it will autocomplete table names, suggest joins, etc
my primary programming is all internal to our company and is in c/c++/java/php with codenameone as a framework and now domino. I have lost count of total code lines.
but i have several hobby projects that I'm slowly moving to domino
I use eclipse so far for everything. does nice with c/c++/java even php. codenameone was integrated. there is even a sql browser, but I use dBeaver for db stuff, it is absolutely amazing. funny thing is that it uses eclipse underneath.
Always trying to learn, but sometimes I find i take the path of least resistance too much
I understand .. and I love the part that says you are moving to domino. 😄
Getting layouts right is a pain in what ever tool we use .. but I think a good html/css knowledge is still needed to get them right
I cane barely spell C S S
there are a lot of flexbox tutorials out there that let you interactively poke different features and see what it does to the containers and their relative positions and sizes
so the best thing is just to learn how to do them with css, but they are very powerful
but giving tools like that flex-layout page help to learn, build your own pieces
I mean writing a component that uses grid is easy.. writing a grid component that can fit any usecase is hard
