Remote collection nested array returning null in page object about jigsaw HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks, @bakerkretzmar. That was the issue and I feel like a dunce. I misread my own code and thought the ,true in the file_get was part of the json_decode. Thanks again and sorry for wasting your time but I sincerely appreciate the assist!

How are you fetching $projects->data and how exactly are you accessing the data in your template? Can you include the code where you're trying to access ->value and getting that error? If possible can you also include the complete code snippets you're using to send data to Ray, and screenshots of what's coming through? The formatting of the Ray dump you included makes it hard to understand exactly what it is.

Off the top of my head this looks like it could just be that you're calling json_decode(...) instead of json_decode(..., true) somewhere, and so your data is coming back as PHP objects instead of nested arrays. Or maybe the opposite, and it's an array and you need to do $stat['value'] instead of $stat->value.

Hi @bakerkretzmar ,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Here's the code from config.php where I pull the remote API. It's a secure URL with secure auth token so I could not include it but it does return the JSON above.

'projectstats' => [
           'extends' => '_layouts.project',
           'items' => function ($config) {

               $context = stream_context_create(array(
                   'http' => array(
                       'header'  => "X-AUTH-TOKEN: $token"
                   )
               ));

               $projects = json_decode(file_get_contents('secure_url', true, $context));

               $collection = collect($projects->data)->map(function ($project) {

                   return [
                       'title' => $project->title,
                       'stats' => $project->stats,
                       'path' => '{collection}/{name}',
                   ];
               });

               ray($collection)->label('Project with Stats');
               return $collection;
           }
       ],

In the page, here's how I'm viewing the page object with Ray:

@php(ray($page)->label('Project Page'))

Displaying it in the page is just stacking it in a div right now:

                        <div class="stats">
                            @php(ray($stats)->label('Stats Count'))
                            @foreach($stats as $stat)
                                <p>{{ $stat->value }}</p>
                                <p>{{ $stat->label }}</p>
                            @endforeach
                         </div>

Screenshot of Ray for both the collection from config and page variable (sensitive info was blacked out) showing that stats are null on the page object:

I checked another collection with a nested array of image urls and confirmed it's exhibiting the same behavior. I hadn't created the page last night when I submitted the ticket which is why I'm mentioning it now.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information to help troubleshoot.

Hi @bakerkretzmar, just wanted to follow up on this issue. Do you need any more information from me?

from jigsaw.

@gregvarghese looks like this is because Symfony's YAML component doesn't dump objects by default, it needs to be passed the Yaml::DUMP_OBJECT_AS_MAP flag. I'm not sure how risky adding that to Jigsaw core is but we'll look into it.

For now if you set json_decode()'s $associative parameter to true (json_decode(..., true)) all your data will come back as arrays and your code should work fine.

No problem, and definitely not a waste of time! The YAML object dumping thing is something we should look at more closely so I'm glad you made me find it 😄
