grp.listen init, value

[buuuudzik]

I've found that grp.listen() when when it has last optional param set to true, then it initially runs 2 times: 1) state=="init", 2) state=="value"

I think state=="value" should only run when value change or update on a bus, this is logically separated from "init".

This is intended behavior. You can ignore init state and/or use a variable to check if this is the first time that callback is called.

Hi!

Is there any way to use grp.listen() when an object updates but not changes?

I´m doing a emergent notification and many times the message is the same. Object updates but function inside JS doesn´t run.

Code:

grp.listen("33/1/255", function(object,state) {
    if (state == 'value') {
      console.log('Show message')
      setTimeout(function(){
       console.log('Hide Messase')
      }, 4500);
    }
});

Add a third argument (true) to grp.listen to catch all messages. You also need to clear the timeout on each value update otherwise your function won't work correctly.

Code:

$(function() {
  var timeout;
  grp.listen("33/1/255", function(object,state) {
    if (state == 'value') {
      console.log('Show message');
      clearTimeout(timeout);
      timeout = setTimeout(function(){
       console.log('Hide Messase');
      }, 4500);
    }
  }, true);
});

Ok Thanks!
