Expression binding in nested oj-list-view?

Venkata Rahul S

in Oracle JET

I have a pair of entities with a 1:n relation. For example an OrderHeader and an OrderLine. I use a REST service to provide me data for several orders and the lines for each order.

I intend to build a list of collapsible orders, with oj-collapsible and have no problems with that. Now for each order, I am using a oj-navigation-list with a template to get data from each line and show the lines as navigable items. For the navigation list, how do I create the dataProvider?

I tried this:

<oj-navigation-list id="activitiesList" drill-mode="none" data="[[{

new ArrayDataProvider(order.data.lines, {keyAttributes:'code'});

}()]]">

<template slot="itemTemplate" data-oj-as="line">

................................................

</template>

</oj-navigation-list>

I cannot get past this because the framework cannot parse the expression inside.

What mistake am I making? Is expression binding even allowed? What is the correct method?

Please help..

    I achieved what I needed with a function in place of an inline call. I just created a method:


    getOrderLineProvider(linesArrayVar : Array<OrderLines>){

    //...............return new ArrayDataProvider from the linesArrayVar with appropriate keys

    }

    and in my nav list tag,

    data=[[getOrderLineProvider(order.data.lines)]]

    I guess inline syntax parser does not allow a slightly complicated IIFE

    I believe you do not need to pass in the argument either. It should be available as part of one of the three arguments passed to all methods. (event, data, context)

    Hmm.. Nope.. this is not an event. This is merely a method to procure the DataPRovider from the current Order data. Given this, is'nt the parameter still required?

    If it is not, can you please provide a pointer to a similiar place in the cookbook? Or provide the syntax in one of these comments please?

    And BTW, I cannot still succeed with the original attempt to do this inline creation of the DataProvider. Is that even possible?.

    I would not recommend doing inline coding like that. You could easily run into Content Security Policy issues when you do this kind of thing. Use the separation of HTML/JavaScript and add the DataProvider definition in the viewModel.

    I honestly don't know if it's suppose to work or not. I've never seen anyone try it before.

    I can see your point. My initial need though is met. So no point taking this further to an accurate yes/no solution.
