[how to] Keeping a reference of the current model

[Mihnea Dobrescu-Balaur]

Hello,

I was trying to get the following to work in cozy-files:

* click on an operations link (like rename file)
* in the handler for the link, display a modal dialog
* on the confirm handler for the dialog, do something with the file

I encountered a few problems:

1. I managed to bind the listener for the operation link in file.coffee, but I couldn’t bind the listener for the dialog confirm button
2. I could only bind the listener for the dialog confirm button in folder.coffee, but in that handler I didn’t have a proper @model that I could work with
3. I tried to save @model in a temp variable in file.coffee (in the operation link handler) and then access it from the handler in folder.coffee and that didn’t work either

How am I supposed to do this?


Thanks!

Hi Mihnea, 

You can use the ModalView we have in cozy-files.

See https://github.com/mycozycloud/cozy-files/blob/master/client/app/views/file.coffee#L31-L36

I see, thanks. And if I want my modal to include a text input? Should I make a new template?

(I want to make the user input part for adding a new tag in https://github.com/mycozycloud/cozy-files/pull/26 )


Thanks,

You can extend the ModalView, with something like that : 

module.exports = class InputModal extends ModalView

    onYes: ->

        @cb @$('#modal-input').val() if @cb

        @cb = null

        super

    render: ->

        super

        @$('#modal-dialog .modal-boby').append $('<input type="text" id="modal-input">')

        return this

Alternatively, consider using the tag-it jquery plugin (http://aehlke.github.io/tag-it/) for inline tag editing.

(may be you can reuse the tagsView from cozy-contacts : https://github.com/mycozycloud/cozy-contacts/blob/master/client/app/views/contact_tags.coffee)

Oh I didn’t know about the tags functionality in the contacts app. That’s what I need. I’ll try to reuse the code from that view, thanks.
