Formatting of values when working with multiple values

[goforthanddie]

Hi there,

thanks for providing this helpful library!

When using multiple values in a slot of type cont, it seems that the first value always defines the format of the caption of all the following values. For example, if I add a currency first and a quantity second, reading the caption for the quantity yields the quantity formatted as a currency and vice versa. Is it possible to obtain the correctly formatted values?

In this example "Einnahmen" is a currency and "Menge" is a quantity and both captions are formatted as a currency. When switching the order, thus having "Menge" first and "Einnahmen" second, both are formatted as a quantity.

Thanks for looking into this!

Minimal working example:
vizdef.xml:

<visualizationDefinition version="3.1" xmlns="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/ba/vipr/vizBundle/vizdef.3">
    <slots>
        <slot name="categories" caption="Categories" type="cat" optional="false" />
        <slot name="values" caption="Values" type="cont" optional="false" />
    </slots>
    <dataSets>
        <dataSet name="data">
            <ref slot="categories" />
            <ref slot="values" />
        </dataSet>
    </dataSets>
</visualizationDefinition>

Main.ts:

import {RenderBase} from "@businessanalytics/customvis-lib";

// data column indices
const CATEGORIES = 0, VALUES = 1;

export default class extends RenderBase {
    protected create(_node: HTMLElement): HTMLElement {
        return _node;
    }

    protected update(_info): void {
        const rows = _info.data ? _info.data.rows : [];

        for (let i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
            console.log(rows[i].caption(CATEGORIES));
            console.log(rows[i].caption(VALUES));
            console.log(rows[i].value(VALUES));
        }
    }
}
