How to add a functionality to stop copy paste on an input field in lightning?












4















I'm making a form that includes two fields, Email and Re-Enter Email. I don't want the user to copy and paste the email id in the second field. I have to prevent right clicks on the re-enter field and/or the pasting functionality in that field. How do I achieve this? We have onPaste for ui input fields but not for lightning.

    Please don't do this. This is bad UX. It's bad enough if a field has to be entered twice. At least let your users paste content.

    "Please confirm this question by retyping it a second time without copy-pasting." Your users hate retyping as much as you do.

    Also note that people could still enter the email in the second field, and copy it to paste it in the first one

You need to use HTML event attribute, example-



Component:



<lightning:input name="input1" label="Enter some text"  

    oncontextmenu="{! c.handleContext }" onpaste="{! c.handlePaste }"/>


Controller.js:



handlePaste: function(component, event, helper) {

    alert("yo");

    event.preventDefault(); 

},



handleContext: function(component, event, helper) {

    alert('test');

    event.preventDefault(); 

}

Always On Availability groups resolving state after failover - Remote harden of transaction...

0 My explanation will be opinion based as it is based on my findings. If more information is needed, I am always happy to add it. The setup We have 4 SQL Server 2016 Instances, and all 4 underlying servers are in a WSFC (In my eyes a strange setup since Always On AG's are 2 by 2. But that is a different question.) 4 nodes + Fileshare witness Version: 13.0.5026.0 (all nodes) The instances that are having the failover issues are instances 1 & 2. They have 3 AG's between them. AG1 is primary on instance 1 and is having the issue. AG2 and AG3 are primary on instance 2. Instances 3 and 4 have their own separate AG's (2).

Restoring from pg_dump with foreign key constraints

Image
5 2 In restoring a database from a pg_dump , a number of errors are being generated and the whole table is subsequently being ignored. An example: ERROR: insert or update on table "channelproducts" violates foreign key constraint "fk_rails_dfaae373a5" DETAIL: Key (channel_id)=(1) is not present in table "channels". Interestingly enough, I've noted that all these instances are popping up because of the sequence of loading. channels is after channelproducts both alphabetically and in the file and thus I can understand why postgres complains about having to create a child without a parent. caveat: the foreign key is being generated automatically by rails 4.2: I could remove the problem at the source but that still does not really solve the problem... version: PostgreSQL
