I have been banging my head against the wall trying to find a way to get access to msg.payload that is being passed into ui-template in a way that I can use it. The concept is to replace yyyymmdd in the src string for the iframe in this code with msg.payload.
I have tried many variations with on mount, using context variables,this.$store.state.input.payload {payload}, {{payload}} and many others and cannot find a way to do this. it seems like it should be simple. I am sure the msg.payload is coming in as I can pass it through to a debug on the output...
In DB 1 I use the scope. Isn't that available in DB 2? Like this example from one of my DB 1 setups:
// Watch the payload and update corresponding picture
(function(scope) {
scope.$watch('msg', function(msg) {
//alert(msg);
inMessage(msg.payload);
});
})(scope);
EDIT: From the help text of DB 2 ui_template node I read the following:
Reading Node Input
Whenever a ui-template receives a msg in Node-RED, that is automatically assigned to the msg variable in the template.
Additionally, we also bind a computed variable value to msg.payload. This means that you can access the msg object in your template, as well as binding the value variable to any widgets you use.
Such an example would be:
<div>
<h2>Latest <code>msg</code> received:</h2>
<pre>{{ msg }}</pre>
</div>
Thanks for the input very helpful! The previous post is a solution that works. Not sure if accepted behaviour allows for an expansion in scope on the question, if so my apologies, I won't do it again.
Taking into account that the code inside the " " is considered to be javascript I have been trying to handle the situation where on startup the msg.payload is "undefined" until the user selects a data in the date select widget. The code below includes the working code and several version of attempts to utilize ternary operator, none of which work and are commented out in the snippet.
The items with the ternary operator each do not render anything other that a single bar. Typically when the undefined occurs the card displays with a message that Get can't find the file.
Thanks in advance for any information.
PS: Thinking this error on console may have something to do with it
hook-exec.js:1 Refused to execute inline script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "default-src 'none'". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-gPjlli1HEdLlR0AZTY971/wQVOdSkl9mEinLnxrPpJw='), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution. Note also that 'script-src' was not explicitly set, so 'default-src' is used as a fallback.
Try this. I have had to make some additions because I do not have your data. This shows the filename as text but you will get the idea. You should also probably put in some error checking for msg.payload
<template>
<v-card>
<v-card-text>
<!-- <iframe :src="fileName" width="800px" height="500px"></iframe> -->
<p> {{fileName}}</p>
<!-- <iframe :src="`/${msg.payload ? msg.payload : getTodayDate()}_${stock}_output.html`" width="800px" height="500px"></iframe> -->
<!-- <iframe :src="`/{${msg.payload==='undefined'? getTodayDate():msg.payload}_${stock}_output.html`" width="800px" height="500px"></iframe> -->
</v-card-text>
</v-card>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
// define variables available component-wide
// (in <template> and component functions)
return {
stock: 'New Stuff', //Note you do not need this.
fileDate: ""
}
},
watch: {
// watch for message
msg: function () {
console.log(`!!! watch msg: Message received: ${JSON.stringify(this.msg)}`)
if (this.msg.payload != undefined) {
this.fileDate = this.msg.payload
}
},
},
computed: {
// automatically compute this variable
// whenever VueJS deems appropriate
fileName: function() {
return `/${this.fileDate}_${this.stock}_output.html`
},
},
methods: {
// expose a method to our <template> and Vue Application
getTodayDate: function() {
const today = new Date()
const year = today.getFullYear()
const month = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0') // Months are 0-based
const day = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0')
this.fileDate = `${year}${month}${day}`
},
},
mounted() {
// listen for incoming msg's from Node-RED
// note our topic is "msg-input" + the node's unique ID
this.getTodayDate()
},
unmounted() {
// code here when the component is removed from the Dashboard
// i.e. when the user navigates away from the page
}
}
</script>
