The edge device and the server runs the same software The ES just has limited hardware capacity. So yes they can be set there and the publisher/data source can be set to update any point properties on the server if they are changed on the ES.

<div flex="100" flex-gt-md="33" layout="column" ng-if="designer.points | filter:{name:'Level'}:true | maFirst" ng-repeat="res in designer.points | filter:{name:'Level'}:false">  
My watchlist is a dynamic watchlist the queries all points where the "site" tag matches.

I then filter down to only have the points with name = "Level" then use ng-repeat to display them all in a md-card.

Your table might get a little complicated with nested ng-repeats. You might want to read up on the angular docs on how to use ng-repeat-end. https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngRepeat

Does the designer.points map to all points, that then need to be filtered? Or, after adding the tags, do I also need to create a dynamic watchlist (as is kinda eluded to here: https://forum.infiniteautomation.com/topic/4153/using-ma-state-params/15#) to address?

Thanks

Designer.points has all the points that are in the watchlist that I created, the watchlist points get brought into the page with a <ma-watch-list-get>

So yes you will need to make a watchlist.

The other option is to use a

<ma-point-query query="{name:query.filter, deviceName:query.filter}" limit="query.limit"
start="(query.page-1)*query.limit" sort="query.order" points="points" promise="promise"></ma-point-query>

in your page, use {{points}} so show youthe object it returns.

richard.mortimer

So, just trying to tie together Craig's example and Jared's example above, I'm getting confused how to filter by the tags; so far I have:

<ma-point-query query="{deviceName:'SPS001'}" points="points" promise="promise"></ma-point-query>
<!-- show me everything -->
<!--div style="color: white;background-color:black; border: 1px solid red;" ng-if="points" ><pre>{{points}}</pre></div-->
    
<div md-progress="promise" style="border: 1px solid blue; background-color: white; color: black;" ng-repeat="point in points">
    <span>{{point.xid}}</span>
    <span style="background-color: yellow;">{{point.tags.Display}}</span>
</div>

Which successfully shows me everything that matches the device name in the commented out (first) div, or the secondary DIV, which shows me the same points, but just the XID for the point and the tag for "Display" - but how do I get a specific point from the array if I want the "Display" equal to, say, "Battery Capacity" for this one site? I don't know if I need to put this filter within the ma-point-query section, or if I load the whole array into points and then filter in the ng-repeat section ... nor the syntax, as the tags seem to be at a secondary level of the initial query (as per the two spans, where one is point.xid and the tags are point.tag.Display).

BTW: there is a typo on the page: /ui/docs/ng-mango/ma-point-query in the 'limit' description: "no limit by defualt"

Thanks

I can help you with the point query.
You can either be specific at what you want at the beginning, or take a multitude of points then filter them accordingly with a filter or using ng-if="point.tags.Display=='displayType'"

For your point query, you can work from the watchlist builder to generate an RQL query.
You'll get something like:

<ma-point-query query="'eq(deviceName,SPS001)&in(tags.Display,Battery Capacity)'" points="points" promise="promise"></ma-point-query>

Hope that's of some help

Using the query builder as MattFox suggested is definitely a pro tip!

Your question seems to be around where best to do the filtering. IMO you will be better off doing one simple query to the backend and then doing all your filtering on the front end. That is if your page is going to have a lot of different components using those points. If the page is focused on only certain points then you could query for only those points. The choice is yours

The point query gives you an object with an array of points and all the points attributes, it is not live updating. So now you know that in your page you only have points from SPS001, you can now filter down to the specific point you want in sps001 as such. The syntax is like this because of the nested structure.

<ma-point-value point="points | filter:{tags:{Display: 'Battery Capacity'} }"></ma-point-value>

You can have multiple filters like such

<ma-point-value point="points | filter:{deviceName:'myDevice',tags:{Site: 'myTag'} }"></ma-point-value>

If you want to use an ng-repeat then you make your filter less precise that it gives multiple points that match the criteria. You have a couple of options for the order that the ng-repeat will use.

richard.mortimer

Unfortunately I'm still not getting the results I require; if I put the point query as:

<ma-point-query query="'eq(tags.SiteName,SPS001)&&(tags.Display,Customer Load)'" points="points" ></ma-point-query>

I'm getting nothing back, but if I put:

<ma-point-query query="'eq(tags.SiteName,SPS001)'" points="points" ></ma-point-query>

It only returns the tag SiteName and knocks out the tag Display, so I can't further filter on it...

Also, when I did get this working (in a different capacity, using the SIteName tag to filter a specific site), the data populated in my DIV, but was destroyed almost instantaneously:

<tr ng-repeat="site in sites.sites">
    <td>
        <ma-point-query query="'&in(tags.SiteName,{{site.name}})'" points="points" ></ma-point-query>
        <div style="color: white;background-color:black; border: 1px solid red;" ng-if="points | filter:{tags:'Display'}" ><pre>{{points}}</pre></div>
    </td>

Is this where the promise keyword becomes important?

Cheers

Hi Richard

The promise variable will have 3 states fulfilled, rejected and pending. It gives you the status of the query. So no is the answer to your question about the promise.

<ma-point-query query="'eq(tags.SiteName,SPS001)&&(tags.Display,Customer Load)'" points="points" ></ma-point-query>

There is no operatore for your second criteria. This should work

<ma-point-query query="'eq(tags.SiteName,SPS001)&eq(tags.Display,Customer Load)'" points="points" ></ma-point-query>

As Mattfox sugested useing the watchlist builder to make your RQL queries. Let me show you how. The nice thing about using this method is there is you can see the results immediately on the query preview tab.

As for what you are doing in the table. I think you might be running into scoping issues with using points. Hopefully, @Jared-Wiltshire can comment on that.

ng-if="points | filter:{tags:'Display'}" Will not work and I'm sure there are plenty of errors in your browser's console when you use this. tags is an object, what you are doing there is filtering the points array for any object that has a tag with a value of string 'Display'

As in my previous post if you want to filter with tags you need to supply a nested object the filter ie:

point="points | filter:{tags:{Display: 'Battery Capacity'} }"

If you want to use it in a ng-if you need to use maFirst

point="points | filter:{tags:{Display: 'Battery Capacity'} | maFirst}"

Lastly, I think that your pages are getting quite complex and you would be better off creating a user module where you have a controller to do all your logic and mapping of arrays,

Thanks - that was the syntax I was after; I couldn't see anything like i in the RQL syntax: https://cubicweb.readthedocs.io/en/3.26/book/annexes/rql/language/#rql

Is there somewhere that I can read about this??

Also I note that in my nested repeats, this will work, and display all the relevant info for a single point:

<ma-json-store xid="sitesDataXID" value="sites"></ma-json-store>
<div style="border:2px solid blue;" ng-repeat="site in sites.sites">
    <ma-point-query query="'eq(tags.SiteName,SPS001)&eq(tags.Display,Customer Load)'" points="points" ></ma-point-query>
    <!-- show me everything -->
    <div style="color: white;background-color:black; border: 1px solid red;">--{{ site.name }}--<pre>{{ points }}</pre>--</div>
</div>

Yet if I change the tag.SiteName to {{site.name}} thus:

<ma-json-store xid="sitesDataXID" value="sites"></ma-json-store>
<div style="border:2px solid blue;" ng-repeat="site in sites.sites">
    <ma-point-query query="'eq(tags.SiteName,{{site.name}})&eq(tags.Display,Customer Load)'" points="points" ></ma-point-query>
    <!-- show me everything -->
    <div style="color: white;background-color:black; border: 1px solid red;">--{{ site.name }}--<pre>{{ points }}</pre>--</div>
</div>

I'm getting this:

Although the browsers (Firefox) code inspector displays the code as it should:

So - should that work as I have it, or does Angular not allow variable substitution in this manner? I al;so tried to do it with ' + {{site.name}} + ' and a few variations (but clearly not the right one!)

ng-if="points | filter:{tags:'Display'}" Will not work and I'm sure there are plenty of errors

My apologies - I left this in with changing the page so much ...

As Mattfox sugested useing the watchlist builder to make your RQL queries. Let me show you how. The nice thing about using this method is there is you can see the results immediately on the query preview tab.

Thanks for that - I'm looking into how that all works ...

Yikes, you're repeating your queries multiple times and calling the same data. We may need to start moving you into angularJS component territory.
However, if you're after that site name, you need to do this:

<ma-json-store xid="sitesDataXID" value="sites"></ma-json-store>
<div style="border:2px solid blue;" ng-repeat="site in sites.sites">
    <ma-point-query query="'eq(tags.SiteName,'+site.name+')&eq(tags.Display,Customer Load)'" points="points[site.name]" ></ma-point-query>
    <!-- show me everything in this point! -->
    <div style="color: white;background-color:black; border: 1px solid red;">--{{ site.name }}--<pre>{{ points[site.name] }}</pre>--</div>
</div>

if you have points="points" being used every time for each of your ma-point-query items, they'll continue to be updated and overwrite one another as they all share the same scope.
Storing them in an object using the site name as the key makes it a bit easier.
or alternatively!

<ma-json-store xid="sitesDataXID" value="sites"></ma-json-store>
<div style="border:2px solid blue;" ng-repeat="(index,site) in sites.sites">
    <ma-point-query query="'eq(tags.SiteName,'+site.name+')&eq(tags.Display,Customer Load)'" points="points[index]" ></ma-point-query>
    <!-- show me everything in this point! -->
    <div style="color: white;background-color:black; border: 1px solid red;">--{{ site.name }}--<pre>{{ points[index] }}</pre>--</div>
</div>

This will map everything by the index in your JSON store.
Let me know how you go.

I agree with Mattfox and I think Richard will be more familiar since you can code pure javascript functions in the component controller to manipulate your data. instead of pseudo angular/javascript

I believe you are safe to use points="points" unless points is initiated somewhere else in the ng-repeats parent scope. As ng-repeat creates a scope for each iteration but will first look in the parent scope for points

richard.mortimer

Sorry to drag up an old subject, but I've got a curious thing happening within my repeats - and I'm not sure if it's an Angular issue, or I've done something to upset it ...

My code used two ng-if statements to determine if the value is output value is in watts or kilowatts, thus:

<span ng-repeat="point in points[site.name]"><!-- Load -->
    <ma-get-point-value point-xid="{{ point.xid }}" point="output"></ma-get-point-value>
    <div ng-if="output.value > 1000">{{ (output.value / 1000) | number:1 }}kW</div>
    <div ng-if="output.value <= 1000">{{ output.value | number:0 }}W</div>
</span><!-- end Load -->

The problem is - I'm sometimes getting two values returned, (for example 984W and 1kW) - if I directyly print the value on the screen via {{ output.value }} I'm seeing what I would expect to see (mostly integers, a couple of float types for some points).

Am I doing something wrong here, or is there a better way to do this?

[edit] Here's one I managed to catch as it happened:

Thanks

Evening Richard!

Are your points numeric types or alphanumeric?

I say keep it simple and just do

<span ng-repeat="point in points[site.name]"><!-- Load -->
    <ma-get-point-value point-xid="{{ point.xid }}" point="output"></ma-get-point-value>
    <div ng-if="parseInt(output.value) > 1000">{{  parseFloat(output.value / 1000).toFixed(1) }}kW</div>
    <div ng-if="parseInt(output.value) <= 1000">{{ Number(output.value)}}W</div>
</span><!-- end Load -->

You don't have to use what I put int the div inner HTML. But as far as the ng-if is concerned at least you'd have a consistent read with your values.

I believed they were simply numeric - but whern I add the parseInt(output.value) everything disappears (as in - neither ng-if statement is true), similarly the same with the Number and parseFloat functions ...

If I do: <script>console.log(typeof {{output.value}});</script> I get:

I'll just have a quick look in the mango dash to see fi I can run some tests.
As for typeof you want: note javascript generally has a numeric. doesn't have ints or floats like compiled languages.

{{ typeof output.value }} //although i'm not confident if it will work...

@mattfox said in maJsonStore (JSON store):

Nope, that didn't work ... :(

MattFox

Ok, I can't replicate it. Let's go back to how you had it.
But make it this for your ng-ifs

<span ng-repeat="point in points[site.name]"><!-- Load -->
    <ma-get-point-value point-xid="{{ point.xid }}" point="output"></ma-get-point-value>
<div ng-if="output.value > 1000">{{ (output.value / 1000) | number:1 }}kW</div>
    <div ng-if="output.value < 1001">{{ output.value | number:0 }}W</div></span><!-- end Load -->

Just humour me please.

Sorry Richard, I'm not seeing anything sticking out here. The only thoughts I have is echoing out {{output}} inbetween both of the ng-if divs. Seeing how you're having two appear in one area makes me wonder if there's some sort of overlap or something stupid. Your values are definitely numeric.
The next best idea Ive got is checking your console after doing a page load to see if any angular errors crop up..
Otherwise I'm gonna have to call on Jared or Phil to help here. Sorry I cannot be of any further assistance. Either that or I'm just simply half asleep and it's staring me in the face!
