问题
I'm currently using AJAX with Django Framework.
I can pass asynchronous POST/GET to Django, and let it return a json object.
Then according to the result passed from Django, I will loop through the data, and update a table on the webpage.
The HTML for the table:
<!-- Modal for Variable Search-->
<div class="modal fade" id="variableSearch" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Variable Name Search</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<table id="variableSearchTable" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th> Variable Name </th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
<p>
<div class="progress">
<div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped active" id="variableSearchProgressBar" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="45" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width: 45%">
<span class="sr-only">0% Complete</span>
</div>
</div>
</p>
<p>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-10">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="button" id="addSearchVariable" >Add</button>
</div>
</div>
</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" id="variableSearchDataCloseButton" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Basically it is a bootstrap 3 modal, with jQuery DataTable, and with a progress bar to show the user the current progress.
The Javascript that is used to get Django results:
$('#chartSearchVariable').click(function(event)
{
$('#chartConfigModal').modal("hide");
$('#variableSearch').modal("show");
var csrftoken = getCookie('csrftoken');
var blockname = document.getElementById('chartConfigModalBlockname').value;
$('#variableSearchProgressBar').css('width', "0%").attr('aria-valuenow', "0%");
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax(
{
type:"GET",
url:"ajax_retreiveVariableNames/",
timeout: 4000000,
data:
{
'csrfmiddlewaretoken':csrftoken,
'blockname':blockname
},
success: function(response)
{
if(response.status == "invalid")
{
$('#chartConfigModal').modal("hide");
$('#variableSearch').modal("hide");
$('#invalid').modal("show");
}
else
{
configurationVariableChart.row('').remove().draw(false);
for (i = 0 ; i < response.variables.length; i++)
{
configurationVariableChart.row.add(
$(
'<tr>' +
'<td>' + response.variables[i] + '</td>' +
'<tr>'
)[0]);
}
configurationVariableChart.draw();
$('#variableSearchProgressBar').css('width', "100%").attr('aria-valuenow', "100%");
}
},
failure: function(response)
{
$('#chartConfigModal').modal("hide");
$('#variableSearch').modal("hide");
$('#invalid').modal("show");
}
});
return false;
});
$('#addSearchVariable').click(function(event)
{
$('#variableSearch').modal("hide");
$('#chartConfigModal').modal("show");
document.getElementById('chartConfigModalVariable').value = currentVariableNameSelects;
});
$('#variableSearchDataCloseButton').click(function(event)
{
$('#variableSearch').modal("hide");
$('#chartConfigModal').modal("show");
});
The problem is with the updating table part:
configurationVariableChart.row('').remove().draw(false);
for (i = 0 ; i < response.variables.length; i++)
{
configurationVariableChart.row.add(
$(
'<tr>' +
'<td>' + response.variables[i] + '</td>' +
'<tr>'
)[0]);
}
configurationVariableChart.draw();
$('#variableSearchProgressBar').css('width', "100%").attr('aria-valuenow', "100%");
Since the response.variables can be over 10k, and it will freeze the web browser, even though it is still drawing.
I'm pretty new to Web Design (less than 4 months), but I assume it's because they are all running on the same thread.
Is there a way in Javascript to do threading/async? I had a search, and the results were deferred/promise which seems very abstract at the moment.

Try processing retrieved data incrementally.
At piece below , elements generated in blocks of 250 , primarily utilizing jQuery deferred.notify() and deferred.progress().
When all 10,000 items processed , the deferred object is resolved with the collection of 10,000 elements. The elements are then added to document at single call to .html() within deferred.then()'s .done() callback ; .fail() callback cast as null .
Alternatively , could append elements to the document in blocks of 250 , within deferred.progress callback ; instead of at the single call within deferred.done , which occurs upon completion of the entire task.
setTimeout is utilized to prevent "freeze the web browser" condition .
$(function() {
// 10k items
var arr = $.map(new Array(10000), function(v, k) {
return v === undefined ? k : null
});
var len = arr.length;
var dfd = new $.Deferred();
// collection of items processed at `for` loop in blocks of 250
var fragment = [];
var redraw = function() {
for (i = 0 ; i < 250; i++)
{
// configurationVariableChart.row.add(
// $(
fragment.push('<tr>' +
'<td>' + arr[i] + '</td>' +
'</tr>')
// )[0]);
};
arr.splice(0, 250);
console.log(fragment, arr, arr.length);
return dfd.notify([arr, fragment])
};
$.when(redraw())
// `done` callbacks
.then(function(data) {
$("#results").html(data.join(","));
delete fragment;
}
// `fail` callbacks
, null
// `progress` callbacks
, function(data) {
// log , display `progress` of tasks
console.log(data);
$("progress").val(data[1].length);
$("output:first").text(Math.floor(data[1].length / 100) + "%");
$("output:last").text(data[1].length +" of "+ len + " items processed");
$("#results").html("processing data...");
if (data[0].length) {
var s = setTimeout(function() {
redraw()
}, 100)
} else {
clearTimeout(s);
dfd.resolve(data[1]);
}
})
})<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<progress min="0" max="10000"></progress><output for="progress"></output>
<output for="progress"></output><br />
<table id="results"></table>回答2:
Deferreds/promises won't help you here. JS in the browser is always single-threaded.
The trick is not to build up DOM elements via JS. That is always going to be expensive and slow. Rather than passing data in JSON from Django and building up a DOM dynamically, you should get Django to render a template fragment on the server side and pass that whole thing to the front-end, where the JS can simply insert it at the relevant point.
