Select From JSON

[Tom]

Hi All - complete noob to this world so please forgive my ignorance.

I set up Cloud Data and add four rows of data to two types.  I have successfully (albeit rudimentary) coded some javascript to pull the data and build <select> form element - issue is I only see 2 rows returned and not 4 as I would have expected - what I am I doing worng?  Thanks ~T

My JS

var count = 0;
var el = new Everlive({
         apiKey: '**************************',
         scheme: 'https'
});
var casinos = el.data('casinos');
        casinos.get()
            .then(function (data) {
                BindDataToSelectCasinos(data);
            }, function (err) {
                alert(err.message);
            });

        function BindDataToSelectCasinos(e) {
            var jsonStr = JSON.stringify(e);
            var json = JSON.parse(jsonStr)
            $('#casinos');
            $.each(e, function () {
                $('#casinos').append(
                    $("<option></option>").text(json.result[count].CasinoName).val(json.result[count].Id)
                );
                count = count + 1;
            });
            count = 0
        }

Hi Tom,

Please, consider changing your code to:

$.each(json.result, function () {

Basically, the e parameter sent to the function contains the response received by the SDK which is in format:

{
  "count": 101,
 "result": [{...}, {...}]
}

If the iterator function uses as argument just e, it will always iterate to 2 and stop. That is why you need to pass the array with the data items.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks Anton!  I knew it was something simple.

Hey Anton - Quick question - I am struggling with storing user data entered via a form into a Cloud Data table - is there a simple example that shows how this should be done?

Hello Tom,

Generally, you need to construct and pass a data model to the methods of the SDK and it will do the rest.

We do not have an example for this but I am sure that the JS SDK documentation and the sample app which you can clone in AppBuilder from here will be helpful.

Also, if you could share the code that is causing the impediment, we would be happy to help you.
