Walkthrough

The update modifies the JavaScript logic within the output_script method of the gppa-populate-child-entries.php file. Specifically, it adds a check to ensure the gpnfCookie object exists before attempting to access its hash property when setting the value of the parent entry ID field. This prevents potential runtime errors if the cookie is not present, but does not alter any public APIs or PHP function signatures.

Changes

File(s)	Change Summary
gp-populate-anything/gppa-populate-child-entries.php	Updated JavaScript in output_script to check for the existence of gpnfCookie before accessing its hash property. No changes to PHP function or class signatures.

  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.

135-141: Great fix for the cookie null check.

The added condition && gpnfCookie ensures that the code won't attempt to access the hash property of a potentially undefined or null cookie object. This defensive programming approach prevents JavaScript errors during initial page load when the cookie might not be available yet, fixing the issue where the field doesn't populate on first load.

For even more robust error handling, you could consider:

-						if ( ! self.$peidField.val() && gpnfCookie ) {
+						if ( ! self.$peidField.val() && gpnfCookie && typeof gpnfCookie.hash !== 'undefined' ) {

This additional check ensures the hash property exists before attempting to use it, though your current fix should handle the reported issue completely.
