So, I ran into an unexpected problem when debugging my javascript code and finally getting everything else to work. the data I get from the controller has been flattened.
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult CalendarCellClasses(DateTime date)
{
DateTime firstOfMonth = date.AddDays(-(date.Day - 1));
DateTime lastOfMonth = firstOfMonth.AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1);
int additionalDaysBefore = firstOfMonth.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday ? 0 : (int)firstOfMonth.DayOfWeek - 1;
int additionalDaysAfter = lastOfMonth.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday ? 0 : 7 - (int)lastOfMonth.DayOfWeek;
int daysInMonth = lastOfMonth.Day;
int totalDays = additionalDaysBefore + additionalDaysAfter + daysInMonth;
int numWeeks = totalDays/7;
DateTime firstDayInSeries = firstOfMonth.AddDays(-additionalDaysBefore);
DateTime lastDayInSeries = lastOfMonth.AddDays(additionalDaysAfter);
DateTime current = firstDayInSeries;
string[,] dates = new string[numWeeks,7];
for (int week = 0; week < numWeeks; week++)
{
for (int day = 0; day < 7; day++)
{
dates[week, day] = TrafficData.GetTrafficDate(current).CSSClass;
current = current.AddDays(1);
}
}
return Json(dates);
}
as you see I have a string[,] which I want to pass down to the javascript function that calls this method.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var calendar = $('#Trafikkalender');
var date = $('#selectedDate').val();
var param = { date: date }
var url = $('#calArrayPostUrl').data('url');
$.post(url, param, function(data) {
var body = calendar.find('tbody');
//var rows = body.getElementsByTagName('tr');
var rows = body.find('tr');
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
//var cols = rows[i].getElementsByTagName('td');
var cols = $(rows[i]).find('td');
for (var j = 0; j < cols.length; j++) {
var col = $(cols[j]);
col.addClass(data[i][j]);
}
}
});
});
but according to the debugger data is an array with 35 elements, and they seem to be ordered as a single dimension array. did I do something wrong when I return the Json string or is 2dim arrays just not a thing in javascript?
json is more or less a Text-File. I think, you could just Compile your array to a json.
just add the lines at the start, then do
while allarrayentries
{
enter new line into json;
}
and then add the last lines, to complete the json.
Use a Class Model instead an array to pass data.
public class Dates{
public DateTime current { get; set; }
public int number { get; set; }
}
And in Javascript you can access it like this:
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
var cols = $(rows[i]).find('td');
for (var j = 0; j < cols.length; j++) {
var col = $(cols[j]);
col.addClass(data[i]["current"]);
col.addClass(data[i]["number"]);
}
}
Use JSON.NET for serializing instead of the built in serializer. It seems the built in one serializes these arrays badly(and JSON.NET is also much faster).
Here is a basic implementation for this:
public class JsonNetResult : JsonResult
{
public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context)
{
if (context == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("context");
if (this.JsonRequestBehavior == JsonRequestBehavior.DenyGet && string.Equals(context.HttpContext.Request.HttpMethod, "GET", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
throw new InvalidOperationException("JSON GET is not allowed");
HttpResponseBase response = context.HttpContext.Response;
response.ContentType = string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.ContentType) ? "application/json" : this.ContentType;
if (this.ContentEncoding != null)
response.ContentEncoding = this.ContentEncoding;
if (this.Data == null)
return;
if (Data != null)
{
var writer = new JsonTextWriter(response.Output);
var serializer = JsonSerializer.Create(new JsonSerializerSettings
{
ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore,
DateFormatHandling = DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat
});
serializer.Serialize(writer, Data);
writer.Flush();
}
}
}
And override the controllers's Json functions:
protected override JsonResult Json(object data, string contentType, Encoding contentEncoding, JsonRequestBehavior behavior)
{
return new JsonNetResult
{
Data = data,
ContentType = contentType,
ContentEncoding = contentEncoding,
JsonRequestBehavior = behavior
};
}
protected override JsonResult Json(object data, string contentType, Encoding contentEncoding)
{
return new JsonNetResult
{
Data = data,
ContentType = contentType,
ContentEncoding = contentEncoding
};
}
