I have managed to create a custom element to use the boostrap-select element. However, I can pass/bind values to it from the main view (parent) but I am unable to get the selection out from the element when I use two-way binding.
My custom element is:
import {inject, customElement, bindable} from 'aurelia-framework';
import * as selectpicker from 'bootstrap-select'
@customElement('select-picker')
export class BootStrapSelectPicker {
@bindable selectableValues = null;
@bindable newValue = null;
@bindable selectedValue = 10;
constructor(){
}
attached(){
$('.selectpicker').selectpicker({
style: 'btn-info',
size: 4
});
$('.selectpicker').on('change', function(){
var selected = $(this).find("option:selected").val();
this.selectedValue = selected;
console.log(this.selectedValue);
});
$('.selectpicker').val(this.selectedValue); <-- the selection here is correct
$('.selectpicker').selectpicker('refresh');
}
}
The corresponding view is:
<template>
<select class="selectpicker">
<option repeat.for="p of selectableValues">${p}</option>
</select>
</template>
My containing view that uses the custom element is:
<template>
<require from="./select-picker"></require>
<ul class="list-group">
<li class="list-group-item" repeat.for="p of messageProperties">
<div if.bind="p.propertyType == 'string'">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="ln">Name: ${p.propertyName}</label>
<input type="text" value.bind="p.propertyValue" class="form-control" id="ln" >
</div>
</div>
<div if.bind="p.propertyType == 'integer'">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="ln">Name: ${p.propertyName}</label>
<input type="text" value.bind="p.selectedValue" class="form-control" id="ln" >
<select-picker selectable-values.bind="p.selectableValues"
selected-value.two-way="p.selectedValue"></select-picker>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</template>
I expected p.selectedValue to change once a selection is made with the select control as shown here with the two-way command:
selected-value.two-way="p.selectedValue"
However, p.selectedValue is not changing.
Any ideas why this is not working?
