UDButton not updated after Set-UDElement

augustin.ziegler · November 29, 2019, 8:34am

Hello,

I try to update the content and in the future more attributes of an UDButton after click.
Is there any obvious I am doing wrong?
As far as I understood Sync-UDElement is not working with static content.

I would expect that it is working the same way as an text box: e.g. https://gist.github.com/adamdriscoll/f3eacce165e98a601586677855559732

$ButtonID = (New-Guid).Guid
New-UDButton -ID $ButtonID -Text "Click me ..." -OnClick (New-UDEndpoint -Endpoint {
        $ButtonID = $ArgumentList[0]

        Show-UDToast -Message "successfully clicked button - $ButtonID" -Duration 2000

        Set-UDElement -Id $ButtonID -Content { "You clicked the button!" }
        
        <#
        Set-UDElement -Id $ButtonID -Attributes @{
            text = "You clicked the button!"
        }
        #>

        #no need because its a static content
        #Sync-UDElement -Id $ButtonID
} -ArgumentList $ButtonID)

Hi @augustin.ziegler!

The $ButtonID variable won’t be avaliable to the endpoint “onclick”.
I believe what’s passed in $ArgumentList is the GUID of the onclick endpoint which should be “{GUID}onClick”
Try storing the button’s GUID in a $cache or $session variable and try again. Either that or set a static id on the button.

Should work

@BoSen29

The variable $ButtonID is available and shown in the Show-UDToast message.

Do you have a working code snippet?

BoSen29 · November 29, 2019, 2:22pm

@augustin.ziegler
Apologies, i missed the -argumentlist part, and just asumed that it would read the default passed variables of the endpoint. :-/

Anywhomst: i can’t get it working, and in hindsight i remember seeing a github issue regarding the rework of buttons in 2.5 changed the behaviour with get/set-udelement commands.

Given @adam’s comments this should be fixed in a PR shortly afterwards, however the issue is still open.

I’ll give the source code a look later tonight and see if i can figure this one out

augustin.ziegler · November 29, 2019, 2:26pm

That would help me out a lot as in my opinion this is a basic functionality.

BoSen29 · November 29, 2019, 2:30pm

@augustin.ziegler
I see your point, haven’t actually used set-udelement on a button before myself.

What you can do meanwhile, is write the logic yourself in javascript with the “Invoke-UDJavaScript” command available in the nightly builds.

See:

# Invoke-UDJavaScript

## SYNOPSIS
Execute javascript on client.

## SYNTAX

```
Invoke-UDJavaScript -Javascript <String> [<CommonParameters>]
```


## DESCRIPTION

This file has been truncated. show original

It’s a quick (given that you’re proficient in javascript) and dirty workaround until we get this bug sorted

Hit me up if you want to go down this road, and need some guidance with the javascript

augustin.ziegler · November 29, 2019, 5:23pm

@BoSen29

As I am not a web developer I really need some help with Invoke-UDJavaScript, can you provide me a code snipped to e.g. change the content (only need text) and the background color of a button via JS?

Sorry for asking but I cannot find any example online except the one you gave me: https://github.com/ironmansoftware/universal-dashboard/blob/master/src/UniversalDashboard/Help/Invoke-UDJavaScript.md

I am looking forward to the fix https://github.com/ironmansoftware/universal-dashboard/issues/978

BoSen29 · November 29, 2019, 5:36pm

Hi again my man @augustin.ziegler
No worries bruv.

Try with:

Invoke-UDJavaScript -Javascript “var btn = document.getElementById(’$ButtonID’); btn.textContent = ‘$NewBtnContent’; btn.style.backgroundColor = ‘$NewBtnBkGrColor’”

Works in the browser console atleast

augustin.ziegler · November 29, 2019, 5:38pm

@BoSen29

Thanks … I will try that one maybe tomorrow and now will start my weekend. Have a great weekend too …

BoSen29 · November 29, 2019, 5:39pm

@augustin.ziegler
Anytime bro!

Have a good one!

augustin.ziegler · November 30, 2019, 12:29pm

after installing the nightly build your code snipped is working fine, thanks for this workaround

$ButtonID = (New-Guid).Guid
    New-UDButton -ID $ButtonID -Text "Click me ..." -OnClick (New-UDEndpoint -Endpoint {
        $ButtonID = $ArgumentList[0]

        Show-UDToast -Message "successfully clicked button - $ButtonID" -Duration 2000

        Invoke-UDJavaScript -Javascript "
            var btn = document.getElementById('$ButtonID');
            btn.textContent = 'You clicked the button!';
            btn.style.backgroundColor = 'green'"
    } -ArgumentList $ButtonID)

BoSen29 · November 30, 2019, 1:32pm

Awesome my dude!

Anytime

BoSen29 · December 2, 2019, 2:41pm

Hi @augustin.ziegler
The PR is in the nightly builds tonight:

Should solve the issues!

augustin.ziegler · December 2, 2019, 2:48pm

Great news thanks

augustin.ziegler · December 3, 2019, 9:37am

@BoSen29

I tried the nightly built and its not working for me.
Maybe I did something wrong, is it working for you?

   Set-UDElement -Id $ButtonID -Content { "You clicked the button!" } -Attributes @{
            backgroundColor = 'green'
        }

   Set-UDElement -Id $ButtonID  -Attributes @{
          text = 'You clicked the button! Attribute'            
          backgroundColor = 'green'
        }

BoSen29 · December 3, 2019, 9:50am

Hi @augustin.ziegler,

Try:
Set-UDElement -Id $ButtonID -Attributes @{
backgroundColor = ‘green’
text = "You clicked the button!
}

Since the text of a button is part of it’s attributes, and not it’s content.

It might not be included in the nightly build, i honestly have no idea how @adam makes them avaliable.
You may need to build the module from github?

augustin.ziegler · December 3, 2019, 10:17am

Thanks for the text hint, I will do it with the attribute.

As I installed the newest built the fix should be included:

BoSen29 · December 3, 2019, 11:00am

Awesome!

In that case, it should work with the text attribute

augustin.ziegler · December 3, 2019, 11:02am

Sorry for this miss understanding, I tried with the lastest build and the text attribute and its not working for me. Can you give it a try?
Maybe I am doing something wrong

Ill check when im done in this meeting!
