What I am doing is this
- In Analytics page, I display Chart using Chart.js and stats.
- There is 1 chart and 1 stat displayed, but when an user clicks "stat"button in order list, I want to update stat and chart in the page.
So in step 2. I did it to update stats(just simple number) using defhandler. and it updated assigns value so I can see a stat. but chart doesn’t update. because I need to execute Analytics.buildChart() again to update a chart.
That was imported and executed in app.js like this
import AnalyticsChart from "./analytics-chart" let chartElement = document.getElementById("analyticsChart"); chartElement && AnalyticsChart.buildChart();
So I tried in same defhandler like this.
defhandler show_stats(socket, sender) do
# some code here
poke socket,
total_sent: total_sent,
deilvered_count: deilvered_count,
undelivered_count: undelivered_count,
total_clicks: total_clicks,
recent_order: order
socket |> exec_js("AnalyticsChart.buildChart()")
end
And as I expected It doesn’t work.
So how can I do this?
Thanks in advance.

How do you use this assigns? I mean, how
AnalyticsChart.buildChart()reads this assigns values?What is the return value of this
exec_js/2?wlminimal
it reads from html page using javascript like this in analytics-chart.js
I just switched to bang version exec_js!/2
grych
The values you set in the
pokecommand are the Phoenix assigns. How are they bound to the elements? Like, how is “total_sent” assign bound to the element with ID “total-sent”?You may use Drab to re-execute JS (see ‘Scripts’ chapter here), but obviously it would work only in the JS parts rendered with templates.
I am guessing that
AnalyticsChartis not global? Try to set it up with something likewindow.AnalyticsChart = AnalyticsChart;grych
The better docs for scripts are here.

like this
<p id="total-sent" data-total-sent="<%= @total_sent %>"><%= @total_sent %></p>then I get the values in js like this
grych
Cool, so it should work. Updating the “data-” attribute should update the
datasetproperty as well. You may check it in the console with:after doing the poke. You just need to find a way to run the update chart function.
wlminimal
Yes, I just found a way to run the update chart function and did it like this in defhandler
socket |> exec_js!("AnalyticsChart.update()")and it worked.
Thanks!
