view template from an 3rd party API which has object and array mixed up

[karthick b]

Hello F3ians,

Re: View template from an 3rd party API which has object and array mixed up

This is more of  PHP question  rather than a F3 specific one. first accept my apologies for that.

I have a 3rd party API for which I am writing a wrapper in F3.

Following is the controller part .

// $kite is 3rd party API object
$orders = $Kite->orders();

print_r($orders);

$f3->set('order',$orders);

...

print_r of $orders outputs the following array and object spaghetti

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [average_price] => 0
            [cancelled_quantity] => 0
            [disclosed_quantity] => 0
            [exchange] => NSE
            [exchange_order_id] => 
            [exchange_timestamp] => 
            [filled_quantity] => 0

            [parent_order_id] => 
            [pending_quantity] => 0
            [placed_by] => ZZ07
            [price] => 0

            [trigger_price] => 0
            [validity] => DAY
            [variety] => regular
        )
        ....
)

 I want to output the above data in the view template with the <repeat> markup like below

<repeat group="{{ @order }}" value="{{ @value }}">
   <td>
       {{ @value.average_price }}
        </td>
        <td>
           {{ @value.tradingsymbol }}
        </td>
</repeat>

Thanks in anticipation.

You appear to have an array of objects so you'd probably have to use @value->average_price instead of @value.average_price etc inside your repeat block.

@ved,

It worked like a charm. Never thought I could access objects like this in templates or I forgot it.

Thanks once again. Appreciated.

No problem.

If you wish to access your properties using array notation and at some point you use json_decode() to decode your API responses, then you can pass "true" as second parameter to json_decode and that should convert the objects down to arrays.

Good luck.
