Clarity on fetching data from other OC Modules
I have a hidden page called Management and have an OC module (multi items) with a list of client names with some basic attributes. My data looks something like this.
[
{
"name": "Jane Smith",
"gender": "female"
},
{
"name": "Joe Someone",
"gender": "male"
},
{
"name": "Bob Jones",
"gender": "male"
}
]
On another page named Clients I have another OC module with a template that display a bootstrap profile card type layout. In my form builder I have two fields.
- Client Name (Select2)
- Position (Text)
I understand that you must manually edit the options.json file to configure the Select2 properties so they point to the OC module in the Management page. I have something list this.
{
"fields": {
"clientName": {
"type": "select2",
"dataService": {
"action": "Lookup",
"data": {
"moduleId": "692",
"tabId": "173",
"valuefield": "name",
"textfield": "Name"
}
}
},
"positionTitle": {
"type": "text"
}
}
}
and my template.hbs file looks something like this.
<ul>
{{#each Items}}
<li class="gender-{{clientName.gender}}">{{clientName}} - {{positionTitle}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
My question is, how can I grab the gender value as well so my html output looks something like
<ul>
<li class="gender-female">Jane Smith - CEO</li>
<li class="gender-male">Joe Someone - Accounts</li>
<li class="gender-male">Bob Jones - Marketing</li>
</ul>
I have tried grouping the clients list into objects like below but still no go.
[
{
"client": {
"name": "Jane Smith",
"gender": "female"
}
},
{
"client": {
"name": "Joe Someon",
"gender": "male"
}
},
{
"client": {
"name": "Bob Jones",
"gender": "male"
}
}
]
If anyone can point out what I'm doing wrong your help would greatly be appreciated.
