I would like to execute a JavaScript function after the page was loaded. At the moment I have a commandButton and everything works fine. However it would be more comfortable
For primefaces I have managed to successfully use the following:
I have loaded in <head>
the JS file containing the functions I needed onLoad by using:
< h:outputScript library="javascript" name="nameOfMyFile.js" target="head">
I have used the following in order to run the JS functions I needed from "nameOfMyFile.js":
< h:body onload="nameOfMyFunction()" >
Please note that my js file also contained the following command at the bottom:
$(document).ready(nameOfMyFunction());
The 3'rd point is for running the function onReady
. This was all an experiment to see if I can add HTML to the schedule events ... as the strings passed there are parsed and html tags escaped. I have yet to figure out why I need both onReady
and onLoad
.... but at the moment it's the only way it worked for me. I will update if I find anything new.
It was successful.
Using OndrejM second option of a remoteCommand but inside an outputPanel configured to load after the page load by adding deferred="true"
and deferredMode="load"
:
<p:outputPanel deferred="true" deferredMode="load" rendered="#{...}">
<p:remoteCommand oncomplete="PathFinder.findAndGo();" autoRun="true" />
</p:outputPanel>
Include (at the bottom of your page) jQuery library within your <ui:define name="content">
and then use $(document).ready
as usual:
<ui:define name="content">
...
<!-- jQuery -->
<h:outputScript name="vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js"/>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
alert(1);
});
</script>
</ui:define>
Use JQuery as follows:
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
PathFinder.findAndGo();
});
</script>
Update:
It has to be within <ui:define name="content">
.
There are 2 ways that work for me, when I want to execute a JS function after page load in Primefaces:
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
// twice in document.ready to execute after Primefaces callbacks
PathFinder.findAndGo();
});
});
<p:remoteCommand oncomplete=" PathFinder.findAndGo(); " autoRun="true"/>
window.onload = function () {
// code to execute here
}
