Search Example: Error Checksum when setting component value

[pfisterjonas]

Hey Adam,

I've been using Django Unicorn a lot (great stuff) and currently trying to implement a dynamic search with dynamic filters.

I have encountered the following problem -->

Let's user your Search Example:

class RecommendationsView(UnicornView):
    template_name = 'unicorn/browser/recommendations.html'

    some_value = ''

    state = ""

   

 ALL_STATES = (
        "Alabama",
        "Alaska",
        "Arizona",
        "Arkansas",
        "California",
    )

    def clear_states(self):
        self.state = ""

    def states(self):
        if not self.state:
            return []
        
        self.some_value = 'foobar'

        return [s for s in self.ALL_STATES if s.lower().startswith(self.state.lower())]

    class Meta:
        exclude = ("ALL_STATES",)

My template looks like this:

<div>
    <label>State typeahead</label><br />
    <input type="text" unicorn:model="state" placeholder="State name" id="state-name"></input>

    <p>
        {{some_value}}
    </p>

    <p>
        Matching states:

        {% if states %}
        <ul>
        {% for s in states %}
        <li>{{ s }}</li>
        {% endfor %}
        </ul>

        <button unicorn:click="clear_states">Clear result</button>
        {% else %}
        n/a
        {% endif %}
    </p>
</div>

When i start a search, i get the following in the console: Error: Checksum does not match

Is this intended behaviour?

I need to be able to store some of the values from the search function for the user.
Best,
J.

Hmm, no that shouldn't happen. Do you have a CACHE specified in your settings?
