I have the following code in a display template in sharepoint, I have an array of objects and I need to have the following result.
Name1
Name2
Name3
So I can replace the default rendering of sharepoint multiple people user field with a tooltip.
However, I dont know how to iterate and then concatenate:
Screenshot:
Code:
// List View - Substring Long String Sample
// Muawiyah Shannak , @MuShannak
(function () {
// Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it's output render
var projectTeamContext = {};
projectTeamContext.Templates = {};
projectTeamContext.Templates.Fields = {
// Apply the new rendering for Body field on list view
"Project_x0020_Team": { "View": ProjectTeamTemplate }
};
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(projectTeamContext);
})();
// This function provides the rendering logic
function ProjectTeamTemplate(ctx) {
var projectTeamValue = ctx.CurrentItem[ctx.CurrentFieldSchema.Name];
//newBodyvalue should have the list of all display names and it will be rendered as a tooltip automaticlaly
return "<span title='" + projectTeamValue + "'>" + newBodyValue + "</span>";
}
You can "map" property values from the projectTeamValue
array objects into a new array, then "join" those values together (using ", " as the separator in this example) all in one go:
var newBodyValue = projectTeamValue.map(function(person) {
return person.value;
}).join(", ");
If your projectTeamValue
array looked like:
[{ value: "Name1" }, { value: "Name2" }, { value: "Name3" }]
Then newBodyValue
would be:
"Name1, Name2, Name3"
Side note: Array.prototype.map()
was not available in IE 8 and below but should work in every other browser.
