How to change the language for man command?

Question

Im trying to data bind some nested json from a web api call. Do I need to create another observable for the nested data or does knockout look after that. I have a job object returning from the api that job has a job list. I want to bind the jobId and the joblistID. im just looking for a simple way to do this json code

[
    {
        "$id":"1",
        "JobID":1,
        "JobsListID":1,
        "BookingID":1,
        "TimeAllowed":20,
        "TimeTaken":22,
        "Comments":"Some comments",
        "Status":"complete",
        "Notes":null,
        "TimeStarted":"2014-11-04T09:00:00",
        "Difficulty":1,
        "CompleteDate":"2014-11-04T09:22:00",
        "booking":null,
        "jobs_mechanics":[],
        "jobslist": {
            "$id":"2",
            "JobsListID":1,
            "JobCategoryID":1,
            "Description":"Change Tyres",
            "Name":"Tyres",
            "jobs": [
                {"$ref":"1"}
            ],
            "jobscategory":null,
            "model_jobslist":[]
        },
        "timessheets":[]
    }
]

html

                      <table class="table table-bordered table-hover">
          <tr>
      <th>Job ID</th>
           <th>JobList ID</th>

     </tr>
        <tbody data-bind="foreach: Jobs">
    <tr>
        <td data-bind="text: JobID"></td>
    </tr>

joblist id or name or anything from the joblist to go here just to
understand how to display nested data

                  </td>
               </tr>
             </table>



  script code 
           <script>
var ViewModel = function () {
    var self = this;
    self.Jobs = ko.observableArray();
    self.error = ko.observable();


    var JobsApi = 'http://localhost:54155/api/mechanicphone';

    function ajaxHelper(uri, method, data) {
        self.error(''); // Clear error message
        return $.ajax({
            type: method,
            url: uri,
            dataType: 'json',
            contentType: 'application/json',
            data: data ? JSON.stringify(data) : null
        }).fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            self.error(errorThrown);
        });
    }
    function getAllJobs() {
        ajaxHelper(JobsApi, 'GET').done(function (data) {
            self.Jobs(data);
        });
    }

    getAllJobs();


};


ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel());

Solution 1

You can run it from your terminal:

man --locale=it

Solution 2

First off, you have to have the man pages written in the language of your choice, obviously Italian for you. Then you check if the Italian language is in your locale. Run locale -a and see if you see something similar to it_CH.iso88591 or it_CH.utf8. If you do, you are good so far, if not, edit /etc/locale.gen and uncomment the language sets you want. Then, as root user, run the command locale-gen.

LANG=it_CH.utf8 man command_name_here

again you must see the it_CH.utf8 on the output of locale -a and you have to have man page written in Italian for the command you want to see the man page for.

So you only want to show the job id and each job list id? Can you please post what you want the table to look like?

ive edited it im more concerned how to data bind the nested data rather how it looks just to get it dislplayed. so I understand how to do it

Are you receiving any errors in the console output of your browser? It looks like the callback of your ajaxHelper method is passing in the entire jobs object to self.Jobs instead of the list. Might try: self.Jobs(data.jobslist)

Which distribution are you using? Do any of the suggestions on unix.stackexchange.com/questions/43384 work for you?

[user2790781]

thank you, it worked I actually tried that before and just realised I left the s out in jobslist

[user2790781]

is it possible to call the function getAllJobs() from a button click I tried <button data-bind="click: getAllJobs()" class="btn btn-danger" >Get Jobs</button> it says getAllJobs not definded

[Wayne Ellery]

You need to add the getAllJobs to the viewmodel like so: self.getAllJobs = function () { ... }. At the moment it's scoped to only inside the viewmodel and not exposed publicly.

Note that this is equivalent to man -Lit name, as identified in Localization of man pages on Linux; see man (1).
