Any idea how can I clear/reset/null/destroy/oblitarate an AC server connect object from within the dmx namespace?
dmx-on:input.debounce:250="value ? serverconnect1.load({query: value}) : do what?"
Basically I need to clear the data or the object itself if the input value is empty.
I could use static js and the input event and dmx.parse the SC load and then null dmx.app.data.serverconnect1.data if input is empty but I don’t know if there is a better approach.
Have you tried this:
<input id="txt1" type="text" dmx-on:input.debounce:250="value ? serverconnect1.load({query: value}) : txt1.setValue('')">
From what I remember, the setting of empty value does not trigger input event again with empty value (recursively/infinitely).
Thanks for taking a shot at it.
Unfortunately my problem lays with the server connect data, not with the input. I need to clear the data contained in the server connect AC component when the input is empty.
So if I type “dog” it will search for dog, but if I backspace, delete or clear the input I need to clear the data in a SC AC component.
A simple JS like
dmx.app.data.scSearchResults.data = null;
works. So maybe wrap it in a dmxformatter?
I did have a need for this once. But then I found a better solution for my use case rather than having to do this.
I was hoping not to leave the dmx namespace or resort to nulling it. I would feel dirty and cheap doing that. But if there is no other option…
Maybe some undocumented AC method I wasn’t able to find.
@patrick any ideas on this one?
@patrick would it be useful to create an AC method to clear/destroy dmx child data/objects? Even if it’s not available in the UI. There might be advanced use cases where something like this is needed.
I’ve added a reset method to the server connect component.

Superb! Thanks!
Edit: confirmed it works.
