Description

Hi there, I wish to set-up custom binding logic for a widget using as much standard TiAPI principles as possible. I have the following XML: views/scheduler.xml

<Alloy>
	<Collection src="job" />
	<Window title="Scheduler" navBarHidden="false" layout="vertical">
		<Widget src="uk.co.mycompany.scheduler" dataCollection="job" dataTransform="transformFn" dataFilter="filterFn" startDate="Date.today()" id="schedulerWidget" />
	</Window>
</Alloy>

In my widget's controller I have the following (lazy) tests: widgets/uk.co.mycompany.scheduler/controllers/widget.js

var args = arguments[0] || {};
args['dataCollection'] || Alloy.Globals.Log.error('[FAIL] dataCollection required parameter');
args['dataFilter'] || Alloy.Globals.Log.error('[FAIL] dataFilter required parameter');
args['dataTransform'] || Alloy.Globals.Log.error('[FAIL] dataTransform required parameter');

When I run the code, only dataTransform is present in the arguments object. I have tested in a variety of scenarios, also using the tag. The results were always the same. Lee.

Hello Lee! Can you please help us with a complete test case? Currently your test case fails because there is no model. Best, Mauro

Hi Mauro ! Apologies for that - here's is the model file What else do you need? models/job.js

   var moment = require('alloy/moment');
   
   exports.definition = {
       config : {
           columns : {
               'jobID' : 'TEXT',
               'description' : 'TEXT',
               'location' : 'TEXT',
               'startTime' : 'TEXT',
               'endTime' : 'TEXT',
               'story' : 'BLOB'
           },
           adapter : {
               idAttribute : 'jobId',
               type : Ti.Platform.name == 'mobileweb' ? 'localStorage' : 'sql',
               db_name : 'jobs',
               collection_name : 'job'
           }
       },
       extendModel : function(Model) {
           if (Model && Model.prototype) {
               _.extend(Model.prototype, {
                   // extended functions and properties go here
               });
           }
   
           return Model;
       },
       extendCollection : function(Collection) {
           if (Collection && Collection.prototype) {
               _.extend(Collection.prototype, {
                   getByWeek : function(weekStart) {
   
                       var weekEnd = moment(weekStart).add('d', 7),
                           sqlQuery,
                           results;
   
                       sqlQuery = ' \
                           SELECT * FROM job \
                           WHERE startTime \
                           BETWEEN ' + weekStart + ' AND ' + weekEnd + '\
                           OR endTime \
                           BETWEEN ' + weekStart + ' AND ' + weekEnd;
   
                       results = this.fetch({
                           query : sqlQuery
                       });
   
                       if (results) {
                           Ti.API.info('Requested jobs found: ' + results);
                       } else {
                           Ti.API.info('No jobs found: ' + results);
                       }
   
                       return results;
                   }
                   // extended functions and properties go here
               });
           }
   
           return Collection;
       }
   };

Hello Lee, we will need the widget as well, so we can test exactly the same code than you. Best, Mauro
