Dojo widget controller
I am working on a new project and have been trying to get a JS controller to decide which dojo widgets are needed for any particular page.
I have this working, but only when I inject / hardcode the dojo widget's JS into the page. As soon as I try to get it working with dojo's provide and require mechanisms, everything stops working and I get the following error:
Could not load 'pf.PasswordStrength'; last tried '../dojop开发者_开发百科f/widget/PasswordStrength.js'
http://pf-dev-ad/wcsstore/js/dojo131/dojo/dojo.js
Line 16
Firebug shows this error right after it includes the file!
I am having real problems with this as dojo 1.3.1 (which I'm not allowed to upgrade) is very poorly documented and there aren't many tutorials.
The requirement is as follows:
- 1 site-wide JS controller (lib.js)
- 1 widget specific JS file (PasswordStrength.js)
- 1 widget template file (PasswordStrength.html)
- 1 pointer node
The file structre is setup as follows:
js
dojo131
dijit
dojo
dojotest
widget
templates
PasswordStrength.html
PasswordStrength.css
PasswordStrength.js
dojox

The parent file has a HTML pointer in it as follows:
<div id="ins_passStrength" dojoType="PasswordStrength"></div>
If I change the following function in parent controller (lib.js):
function _getTemplateAssets(templateName){
// Injects the JS and CSS template assets into the page head
dojo.registerModulePath("ad", '../dojotest/widget'); // relative to dojo.js
//dojo.provide('ad.' + templateName);
dojo.require('ad.' + templateName);
//var headTag = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
//dojo.create("script", { src: templatePath + '/' + templateName + '.js', type: 'text/javascript' }, headTag);
//dojo.create("link", { href: templatePath + '/templates/' + templateName + '.css', type: 'text/css', rel: 'stylesheet' }, headTag);
}
To:
function _getTemplateAssets(templateName){
// Injects the JS and CSS template assets into the page head
dojo.registerModulePath("ad", '../dojotest/widget'); // relative to dojo.js
dojo.provide('ad.' + templateName);
dojo.require('ad.' + templateName);
//var headTag = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
//dojo.create("script", { src: templatePath + '/' + templateName + '.js', type: 'text/javascript' }, headTag);
//dojo.create("link", { href: templatePath + '/templates/' + templateName + '.css', type: 'text/css', rel: 'stylesheet' }, headTag);
}
The error goes away but the widegt JS isn't included.
And if you change it to:
function _getTemplateAssets(templateName){
// Injects the JS and CSS template assets into the page head
dojo.registerModulePath("ad", '../dojotest/widget'); // relative to dojo.js
//dojo.provide('ad.' + templateName);
//dojo.require('ad.' + templateName);
var headTag = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
dojo.create("script", { src: templatePath + '/' + templateName + '.js', type: 'text/javascript' }, headTag);
dojo.create("link", { href: templatePath + '/templates/' + templateName + '.css', type: 'text/css', rel: 'stylesheet' }, headTag);
}
It works fine but this is a dirty sidestep... I need to use dojo's prescribed methods.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I believe your error is that you have put your dojo.provide("ad.PasswordStrength")
inside a bunch of functions. It needs to be at the top of the file. Dojo evaluates the file it believes to be correct (based on module path), but how is it supposed to know if PasswordStrength is in there, unless you tell it "yes, this file provides ad.PasswordStrength".
Edit: considering what you said on IRC, here's how I think PasswordStrength.js should look:
dojo.provide("ad.PasswordStrength");
if(!ad){ var ad = {} }
ad.passwordCheck = new (function(){
// init function will run on page load. Called by dojo.addOnLoad
this.init = function (){
_temp_addPasswordCheck();
dojo.parser.parse();
}
/*** PRIVATE VARIABLES ***/
var $ = dojo.query;
var templateName = 'PasswordStrength';
....
/*** PRIVATE FUNCTIONS ***/
function _temp_addPasswordCheck(){
// Include extras
dojo.require("dijit._Widget");
dojo.require("dijit._Templated");
dojo.require("dojo.parser");
dojo.declare("ad." + templateName, [dijit._Widget, dijit._Templated], {
// calls the HTML template to be used
templatePath: dojo.moduleUrl ('dojotest.widget','templates/' + templateName + '.html'),
// Content (titles, labels and general content)
label_password: content.labels.password,
label_confirmPassword: content.labels.confirmPassword,
label_obscure: content.labels.obscure,
label_passwordStrength: content.labels.strength,
label_advice: content.labels.advice,
title_passwordStrength: content.titles.h1,
content_advice: content.content.advice,
content_strength: content.content.strength,
obscurePassword: function(){
....
},
checkPassword: function(){
....
}
});
/*
if(dojo.byId(insertPointID)){
var passStrength = new PasswordStrength().placeAt(insertPointID);
}
*/
};
function _doInsert(arrInsert){
....
}
function _checkPassWord(strPassword){
....
}
/*** PUBLIC FUNCTIONS ***/
});
/*** ONLOAD ***/
dojo.addOnLoad(ad.passwordCheck.init);
- Moved
dojo.provide("ad.PasswordStrength");
to the top of the file. - Removed
dojo.require("ad.PasswordStrength");
from_temp_addPasswordCheck()
- if this code is executed, ad.PasswordStrength (PasswordStrength.js) has obviously already been required and loaded. - Added
dojo.parser.parse();
to the end ofinit()
, so that after the widget has been declared, any widget dojoTypes in the HTML will be parsed. However, I still don't understand why you have to declare the widget inside_temp_addPasswordCheck
. Why not have the widget in it's on file, and ad.passwordCheck wherever your applications other "page" files are? - Added "ad." to the widget declaration (
dojo.declare("ad." + templateName)
), it needs to have the full namespaced name here. - Commented out
new PasswordStrength().placeAt(...
. Since you want to insert your widgets declaratively in your HTML, it doesn't make sense to manually instantiate one here, and place it manually.
Now you should be able to put PasswordStrength widgets in your HTML, like so:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/dojo131/dojo/dojo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/dojo131/dojotest/lib.js"></script>
....
<div id="ins_passStrength" dojoType="ad.PasswordStrength"></div>
<div id="anotherOne" dojoType="ad.PasswordStrength"></div>
Remember that you need the whole namespaced name here as well (i.e. the ad. prerfix).
This worked nicely for me, using Dojo 1.3.3. Uploaded the sandbox if it's any use.
Your error:
Could not load 'pf.PasswordStrength'; last tried '../dojopf/widget/PasswordStrength.js'
http://pf-dev-ad/wcsstore/js/dojo131/dojo/dojo.js
Line 16
Is this a typo? Because it should be trying ../dojotest/widget/PasswordStrength.js
Do you have another dojo.require
that is referring to dojopf
? Or any other line like dojo.require("pf.PasswordStrength")
?
If not, perhaps the registering of the module path is not happening before dojo tries to load your .js. Perhaps try using dojo.require
to load your lib.js
.
