Hi,
I am trying to setup some basic Ajax framework, and I was thinking to
use Ajax.Responders to intercept some events, but I meet the following
issues :
- First, it seems that the responders ignore an onSuccess() callback
passed through Ajax.Responders.register().
This may be a documentation error since the "Prototype 1.6 - The
Complete API Reference" says that "All callbacks in the life-cycle are
available" on the Ajax.Responders.register() description (p32) but the
list of Responder callbacks (p25) only lists 7 of them (not including
onSuccess).
My second concern is that Responder's callback seems to be always
called after the local one (the one defined in the ajax call).
I wanted to implement some kind of "server throwable exceptions",
which basically would allow me to return a JSON object with some
attributes like {"Error":true, "Code":"ExpiredSession"...} which would
be handled by the default Responder, freeing me from having to test
all unexpected things in every Ajax's callback.
The current behavior doesn't allow to do that easily.
I do think to a solution but don't you think that for the sake of
clarity those Responder callback should be renamed from "onXXX" to
"onAfterXXX" since they are called after the actual onXXX callback ?
(and eventually, some "onBeforeXXX" callback could be added (as well
as onSuccess and onFailure).
I am not very happy with the workaround I found, so feel free to give
me some hints to make it better.
Here it is:
function ResponderOnSuccess(localOnSuccess,request,jsonObj)
{
if(!jsonObj) jsonObj = { "Error": true, "Code":"Unknown"};
if(jsonObj.Error)
{
// process error;
}
else
{
localOnSuccess(request,jsonObj);
}
}
and for using it:
new Ajax.Request('myRequest.php',
{
onSuccess: myCB.wrap(ResponderOnSuccess)
});
or if you prefer:
new Ajax.Request('myRequest.php',
{
onSuccess: (function(xrh,json)
{
// Process data here
}).wrap(ResponderOnSuccess)
});
Last minute idea I just had while writing: Do you think I could use
the onCreate's responder to change the onSuccess by the wrapped
version?
Thanks for any hint,
Eric
