Dynamic Page Data Refresh Hack

ATTENTION: THIS IS OUR OLD SITE. TO SEE OUR NEW WEBSITE, CLICK HERE.

Currently there is no proper way to automatically refresh dynamic fields on a page after the data is updated by the user. For example when a user updates their profile, the updated information does not display until the page is manually refreshed. This code presents a hack for refreshing dynamic fields after an update.

For dynamic item pages, re-filtering the dataset on the current item refreshes the data displayed on the page. The following code refreshes the #dbCustomer dataset on a customers profile page. This code could be inserted where ever necessary in the page code - in this example, it will refresh the data whenever the page loads (clearing out any cached data which may be out of date).

import wixData from 'wix-data';

$w.onReady(function () {

	let newFilter = wixData.filter();
	const currentItem = $w("#dbCustomers").getCurrentItem();
	newFilter = newFilter.eq("_id", currentItem._id);
	$w('#dbCustomers').setFilter(newFilter);

});

For dynamic repeaters, the same code can be used - but with the data filtered in the desired manner rather than by user. This example refreshes the #dbArticles dataset by an approval status. It also refreshes any dynamic fields on the repeater with updates e.g. number of article views.

import wixData from 'wix-data';

$w.onReady( () => { 

	let newFilter = wixData.filter();
	newFilter = newFilter.eq("status", "Approved");
	$w('#dbArticles').setFilter(newFilter);

});
