CalendarExt3 - Event transformer wildcard

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport ok, this should work

if(ev.description.search("YCBM")>-1){
       		ev.title = "Client"
 }

you already have the
return ev

you can
console.log(ev.description)
to make sure it is what you expect

better if mmm-logging is installed to copy the browser log to startup log

@sdetweil perfection, thanks. Never even thought about direct replacement - only seen more complex solutions.

I think we’re gonna have to call @MMRIZE in on this one. it worked initially - however, if the description is blank in any event, it’ll stop completely, and not process anything. Here’s what I got now.

				eventTransformer: (ev) => {
					if (ev.title.search("🏠") > -1) {
						ev.title = ev.title.replace("🏠 Personal Commitment", "Personal Event");
						ev.color = 'yellow';
					}
					if (ev.title.search("✈ Flight") > -1) {
						ev.title = ev.title.replace("✈ Flight", "Personal Event");
						ev.color = 'yellow';
					}
					if(ev.description.search("YCBM") > -1) {
       					 	ev.title = "Client"
 					} 
				return ev 
				},

@BKeyport add the test

if (

ev.description && 

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil That did it… Well, other than typing out event rather than ev. :)

All the same, Maybe it should be a check inside the javascript…

[BKeyport]

For completeness - here’s the answer:

	if(ev.description && ev.description.search("YCBM") > -1) {
       					 	ev.title = "Client"
 					}

@BKeyport sorry, phone decided to autocorrect for me.

but you got it. this IS javascript. without the test, the transformer crashed

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil right - what I’m saying is that maybe it should be in the module’s JS, rather than the config’s JS.

Seems trivial to add a safeguard to automatically check for empty items before the transformer gets it. Might also protect against other bugs that way, thus improving the overall product.

@BKeyport ah, but description is an optional field
