dmx.requestUpdate() deprecated

[Mark_Jonkers]

Hi,

We're using the dmx.requestUpdate function in our application and it heavily relies on its functionality in some places.
Now since it is deprecated with the AC2 update we are afraid to update our application to the newer versions.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

There's some help for this here:

dmx.requestUpdate(); calls will need updating in AC2

If you have previously used dmx.requestUpdate(); you will need to make changes with AC2. this.dmxComponent._updateValue(); this.dmxComponent.dispatchEvent('updated'); My use case was a Select2 binding: <select data-cy="tag_search" dmx-bind:options="tenant_tags.data" optiontext="text" optionvalue="text" id="recipes_tag_select" class="select2 " name="tags[]" multiple="multiple" dmx-on:updated="run({run:{action:`recipes.load({},true)`}})"> </select> I previously used: $('#recipes_tag_select'…

Migration to App Connect 2

With the standard components you don’t need to change anything. If you have created some custom components yourself, it is possible that you have to update that code.

In most cases you probably just set some data using node.dmxComponent.set('value', newValue) or update some property like node.dmxComponent.props.disabled = true. These will trigger the update of all the dependencies a…

Hi Teodor,
Thanks for your reply.

The way we used to use the requestUpdate function is where we called a stringformatter where we summed the values of some inputs with te same classname because they where inside a conditional region that was inside a form-repeat. but now the stringformatter does not trigger whenever an input value is changed.

Do you know a way to trigger this formatter without the use of the dmx.requestUpdate function?
