What is the proper JavaScript code to clear duplicate records in KVstore?

[krishnarajapant]

Hi,

I have followed the below link and created a kvstore to store the data from my dashboard app.

http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAEZX

When I enter data to the input text boxes and click on submit, I can see the record is getting added. If I'm not entering any data to the input text boxes and click on submit, then it is taking the previous record values.

I believe this is because the previous value is not getting cleared from the record.

var record = { 
                "CustID": form_id, 
                "CustName": form_name, 
                "CustStreet": form_street,
                "CustCity": form_city,
                "CustState": form_state,
                "CustZip": form_zip 
            }; 

How do I clear this record after every click on Submit?

Hi,

We are able to fix this by unsetting the token outside of .done function and adding alert with if clause.

if (form_id == null || form_name == null || form_street == null)
{
       alert("Enter all field values");
   return;
     }

"unsetToken("CustID")"
"unsetToken("CustName")"
"unsetToken("CustStreet")"

Inside the done function for the service.request, just set the record to undefined:

.done(function(data) {  record = undefined; } )

You can also set it to an empty object {}, but either way it won't contain the data from the previous record.

Hi alacercogitatus,

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I have already tried by defining record= undefined and {} in the .done function for the service.request, still no luck.

I believe we have to empty the below in "record", as it is taking the input from browser.

            "CustID": form_id, 
            "CustName": form_name, 
            "CustStreet": form_street,
            "CustCity": form_city,
            "CustState": form_state,
            "CustZip": form_zip
