I want to create a js array of type
Name(
{title : "Mr.",firstname : "Bill",lastname : "Gates"},
{title : "Mr.",firstname : "Bill",lastname : "Gates"},
{title : "Mr.",firstname : "Bill",lastname : "Gates"}
)
So basically i want to create associated array. All the examples are like converting javascript array to java but in my case i want the other way round. I will be filling this array from java.
JSArray and JsMixedArray seems to be doing this but i could figure out how to add to them.
One approach could be to use a JSNI method to create the items/entries of your Array/Map as follows:
JsArray arr = JavaScriptObject.createArray().cast();
arr.push(newEntry("Mr.", "Bill", "Gates"));
....
private final native JavaScriptObject newEntry(String title,
String firstname, String lastname)/*-{
return {title: title, firstname: firstname, lastname: lastname};
}-*/;
You could also try to create the data structure you have in mind using the JSON utility methods: Put JSONObjects inside a JSONArray.
JsArray<personJs> persons = JavascriptObject.createArray().cast(); persons.push((personJs)JavaScriptObject.createObject().set(fname,age,...));
personJs and not PersonJs?Variable $wnd.v will contain an array of objects.
Note: you will need to find a way how to convert your Java objects to a JSON (i used restygwt).
class PersonList {
List<Person> list;
}
class Person {
String title;
String firstName;
String lastName;
public Person () {}
public Person(String title, String firstName, String lastName) {
this.title = title;
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
}
public class Main implements EntryPoint {
public interface PersonCodec extends JsonEncoderDecoder<PersonList> {
}
PersonCodec personCodec = GWT.create(PersonCodec.class);
public void onModuleLoad() {
List<Person> list = new ArrayList<Person>();
list.add(new Person("Mr.", "Bill", "Gates"));
list.add(new Person("Mr.", "Andrey", "Mormysh"));
PersonList personList = new PersonList();
personList.list = list;
String json = personCodec.encode(personList).toString();
setPersonList(json);
}
public static native void setPersonList(String personListJson)/*-{
$wnd.v = eval("(" + personListJson + ")").list;
alert($wnd.v[0].firstName); // Output: 'Bill'
}-*/;
}
You can create empty JavaScriptObject from Java but you cannot populate them from there, so use the dark side of the force:
private native JavaScriptObject putString(JavaScriptObject jso, String key, String value)/*-{
jso[key] = value;
return jso;
}-*/;
private native JavaScriptObject putObject(JavaScriptObject jso, String key, JavaScriptObject value)/*-{
jso[key] = value;
return jso;
}-*/;
void someJavaFunction() {
JavaScriptObject fromJava = JavaScriptObject.createObject();
fromJava = putString(fromJava, "foo", "bar");
fromJava = putObject(fromJava, "baz", fromJava);
}
