Views Results List

This page describes how to display a View using a pageshow callback from a hook_menu() implementation.

/**
 * Implements hook_menu()
 */
function my_module_menu() {
  var items = {};
  items['articles'] = {
    title: 'My Custom Page',
    page_callback: 'my_module_articles_page',
    pageshow: 'my_module_articles_pageshow'
  };
  return items;
}

/**
 * Page callback.
 */
function my_module_articles_page() {
  var content = {};
  content['my_article_list'] = {
    theme: 'jqm_item_list',
    title: 'My Article List',
    items: [],
    attributes: { id: 'my_article_list' }
  };
  return content;
}

This will create a page with an empty list. Next we need to retrieve the results from the View and populate the list. We'll do that by utilizing the pageshow callback for our page:

/**
 * Pageshow callback.
 */
function my_module_articles_pageshow() {
  var path_to_view = 'my-articles';
  views_datasource_get_view_result(path_to_view, {
      success: function (data) {
        if (data.nodes.length > 0) {
          var items = [];
          $.each(data.nodes, function(index, object){
              var node = object.node;
              items.push(
                l(node.title, 'node/' + node.nid)
              );
          });
          drupalgap_item_list_populate('#my_article_list', items);
        }
      }
  });
}

Now if we navigate to the path articles in DrupalGap, our page will be displayed, then the pageshow callback will ask Views for the results, then add them to the list.
