GETS request not works after deploy - deployment

Works with the digital ocean server, mongo atlas and nodejs , front react
This is the problem I get in all the get requests on the site.
When I check like this I do get the information from mongo atlas
And that's what I get from cmd

Seems like you have a few things going on
The first screen shot says data.error is not defined.. So there is no .error as part of the data object, you may want to place that in a try catch OR if the call is promis based
then .catch( (e) =>{
console.log(e)
})
The later part of you post shows the error shows both apps are running on port 3000. PM2 in cluster mode will take care of multiple apps / port issues but if you are using PM2 to manage multiple applications they will need to be on different ports and then via nginx proxy 80 to that location.

Netlify deploy can't connect to Heroku backend

I've built a wee program that works fine when I run it locally. I've deployed the backend to Heroku, and I can access that either by going straight to the URL (http://gymbud-tracker.herokuapp.com/users) or when running the frontend locally. So far so good.
However, when I run npm run-script build and deploy it to Netlify, something goes wrong, and any attempt to access the server gives me the following error in the console:
auth.js:37 Error: Network Error
at e.exports (createError.js:16)
at XMLHttpRequest.p.onerror (xhr.js:99)
The action that is pushing that error is the following, if it is relevant:
export const signin = (formData, history) => async (dispatch) => {
try {
const { data } = await api.signIn(formData);
dispatch({ type: AUTH, data });
history.push("../signedin");
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
};
I've been tearing my hair out trying to work out what is changing when I build and deploy, but cannot work it out.
As I say, if I run the front end locally then it access the Heroku backend no problem - no errors, and working exactly as I'd expect. The API call is correct, I believe: const API = axios.create({baseURL: 'http://gymbud-tracker.herokuapp.com/' });
I wondered if it was an issue with network access to the MongoDB database that Heroku is linked to, but it's open to "0.0.0.0/0" (I've not taken any security precautions yet, don't kill me!). The MDB database is actually in the same collection as other projects I've used, that haven't had this problem at all.
Any ideas what I need to do?
The front end is live here: https://gym-bud.netlify.app/
And the whole thing is deployed to GitHub here: https://github.com/gordonmaloney/gymbud
Your issue is CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). When I visit your site and inspect the page, I see the following error in the JavaScript console which is how I know this:
This error essentially means that your public-facing application (running live on Netlify) is trying to make an HTTP request from your JavaScript front-end to your Heroku backend deployed on a different domain.
CORS dictates which requests from a frontend application are ALLOWED to make a request to your backend API.
What you need to do to fix this is to modify your Heroku application and have it return the appropriate Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. This article on MDN explains the header and how you can use it.
Here's a simple example of the header you could set on your Heroku backend to allow this to work:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Please be sure to read the MDN documentation, however, as this example will allow any front-end application to make requests to your Heroku backend when in reality, you'll likely want to restrict it to just the front-end domains you build.
God I feel so daft, but at least I've worked it out.
I looked at the console on a different browser (Edge), and it said it was blocking it because it was mixed origin, and I realised I had just missed out the s in the https on my API call, so it wasn't actually a cors issue (I don't think?), but just a typo on my part!
So I changed:
const API = axios.create({baseURL: 'http://gymbud-tracker.herokuapp.com' });
To this:
const API = axios.create({baseURL: 'https://gymbud-tracker.herokuapp.com' });
And now it is working perfectly ☺️
Thanks for your help! Even if it wasn't the issue here, I've definitely learned a lot more about cors on the way, so that's good

Getting Started With PeerJS

I am trying the simplest example I can, pulled directly from their website. Here is my entire html file, with code taken exactly from https://peerjs.com/index.html:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/peerjs#1.3.1/dist/peerjs.min.js"></script>
<script>
var peer = new Peer();
var conn = peer.connect('another-peers-id');
// on open will be launch when you successfully connect to PeerServer
conn.on('open', function(){
// here you have conn.id
conn.send('hi!');
});
</script>
In Chrome and Edge I get this in the console:
peerjs.min.js:64 GET https://0.peerjs.com/peerjs/id?ts=15956160926060.016464029424720694 net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
In Firefox I get this:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://0.peerjs.com/peerjs/id?ts=15956162489620.8436734374800061. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).
What am I doing wrong?
#reyad has requested "a full trace of requests and responses". Here's what I see in my network tab in Firefox:
And here's Chrome:
And a tiny bit more Chrome:
[Note: It would have been better if you could provide a full trace of requests and responses. This problem may occur for several reasons. I'll state two solutions. So, try those. If those doesn't work, provide full trace of requests and responses.]
1. First Solution:
Sometimes, this type of error occurs because of self-signed certificate. To solve this problem, open developer tools/options, then go to network tab. You'll see a list of requests. Select the request which was failed because of CORS(i.e. which gave you this Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Open it(i.e. click it). If your problem is related to cert you'll see the following error message:
AN ERROR OCCURED: SEC_ERROR_INADEQUATE_KEY_USAGE
To solve this problem, go to url that is the reason of this problem and accept the certificate manually.
2. Second solution:
Check the request(which is the reason of CORS) in the network tab of developers tools/options(same as described in 1. First Solution). You'll find a Transferred column. See, what's written in the Transferred column of the failed request. If it is written Blocked By Some Ad-Blocker, then disable the Ad-Blocker. Your request will work fine.
[P.S.]: These solutions are proposed on assumptions. Hope these works. If these two do not work, then please provide more info about requests and responses. And also check this.
3. Third and final solution:
[Note: This solution may not solve your problem directly, but it'll give you alternative solution and also insight about what your problem is and how to work around it]
Before reading the solution below, read this to understand how Access-Control-Allow-Origin works(it is the reason for CORS error).
Let me first explain how peerjs works:
PEERJS works based on PEER ID. So, you've to get some PEER ID either from the PEERJS CLOUD SERVER or you've to provide yourself one in the PEER CONSTRUCTOR i.e. new Peer("some-peer-id"). Peer id has to be unique, cause its necessary to detect all the users uniquely. And, peerjs uses this PEER ID to send and receive data from user to user.
Now, you should know that, you're using PEERJS CLOUD SERVER to get/generate unique peer id which is the default server PEERJS uses unless you specified some other server to use.
Now let me explain why you're facing this problem:
As you already know how CORS works, you may have already guessed, that https://unpkg.com/peerjs#1.3.1/dist/peerjs.min.js(the downloaded js file) is calling https://0.peerjs.com to retrieve/generate new unique PEER ID. But, this request by https://your.website.com does not have Access-Control-Allow-Origin access for some reason, it may also be a middleware problem. So, its difficult to tell where the problem is actually occuring. But one thing for sure, it's not your fault of writing code :D.
I hope all the concepts is clear to you I've stated above.
Now, to solutions:
Alternative-appraoch-1 (Using PEERJS CLOUD SERVER AND Your own provided id):
In this approach you've to generate your own unique PEER ID. So, "https://your.website.com" does not have to call "https://0.peerjs.com" for unique peer id. [Note: make your peer id large enough so that its always unique, at least 64 chars long]
In this way, you can avoid the CORS problem.
Update:
I just saw an new issue in github, which says the public peerjs cloud server is now unstable or does not work properly. It just gives error like: Firefox cannot establish a connection with the server at the address wss://0.peerjs.com/peerjs?key=peerjs&id=123222589562487856955685485555&token=ocyxworx62i and in Chrome: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. For details check here. So, its better, you use your own server(see the next approach).
Alternative-appraoch-2 (Using your own peerjs server):
You can host your own peerjs server instead of PEERJS CLOUD SERVER. In this way, you can allow access to anyone/any website you want. If you want know how to host a peerjs server, you may visit here.
[P.S.]: I have studied pearjs issues in github. After reading all those issues, it seems, it is better to use your own server rather than using pearjs cloud. There are a lot of various problems with each new release of peerjs. And mostly related with connection with peerjs cloud and also peerjs cloud is not stable I guess. They were hosting it in 0.peerjs.com:9000 before(not secure). But now in 0.peerjs.com:443.
I haven't use peerjs before nor set up peerjs server. If you want to set up one, I hope the community would be able help you on how to do that properly.
What I understand from your question is that there is an issue of (CORS => Cross-origin resource sharing ), Maybe what I am suggesting is not very intuitive.
First : download the "https://unpkg.com/peerjs#1.3.1/dist/peerjs.min.js" in your local directory . and then incklude the local javascript code to the html.
like: <script src="./peerjs.min.js"></script>
Second :
you are using var peer = new Peer();
but please provide an extra unique id from your side. for example, I just created a random id and provided it.
StackOverflow link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21216758/peerjs-set-your-own-peerid#:~:text=1%20Answer&text=Provide%20a%20peer%20id%20when,to%20under%20Create%20a%20peer.
var a_random_id = Math.random().toString(36).replace(/[^a-z]+/g, '').substr(2, 10);
var peer = new Peer(a_random_id, {key: 'myapikey'});
Third : the best option is to run PeerServer: A server for PeerJS of your own.
If you don't want to develop anything, just enter a few commands below.
Install the package globally:
$ npm install peer -g
Run the server:
$ peerjs --port 9000 --key peerjs --path /myapp
Started PeerServer on ::, port: 9000, path: /myapp (v. 0.3.2)
Check it: http://127.0.0.1:9000/myapp It should return JSON with name, description, and website fields.

Dgraph: Can't see API data in Console

I'm running a test Dgraph instance in a dgraph/standalone Docker container, using the github.com/dgraph-io/dgo/v200/protos/api API on port 9080 to write data, but can't see the changes in the Console on port 8000. Using the API to query the previously written data works fine, so I wonder if the API and the Console are somehow using different name spaces?
Are you committing the transaction? I have seen users complaining about this, but they forgot to commit the txn.

Cors and database uri problem in scaling out architecture

I have react frontend and spring boot backend with mongodb behind.
I have issues with setting 2 parameters in the spring boot service.
First is address of the mongodb which is now set as localhost:27017 in the application.properties
It works at localhost but since I plan to scale out using kubernetes and docker images i would like to know how to define
It and where for the case in which I have mongo1 mongo2 and mongo3 database hosts and would like to pass all 3 URIs ?
Second issues is more tricky! React frontend doesnt work in chrome until I put allow cross origin anotation over my spring rest endpoint . I used hardcoded localhost:3000 here but when I scale it out using kubernetes this wont work if it gets data from another host in the cluster.What to do here?
To answer your first question, you can configure multi data sources, see here documentation how you can configure more than one data sources (80.2 Configure Two DataSources.
For second question you can simply wildcard CORS URL or if you know all of your front end server urls which are load balanced you can pass as list of cors url.
– * – means that all origins are allowed.
– If undefined, all origins are allowed.
RECOMMENDATION
Run your react via yarn to deploy on Apache or ngnix. Once you seted up your domain or sub domain for front end, load balanced your front end so not required to run your front end on ports..

Connecting to a remote MongoDB using Meteor

Apologies in advance for any failing with my terminology and understanding with Meteor/Mongo, I've just started learning and developing with it.
I am trying to connect my local meteor app to a remote mongodb which is hosted elsewhere.
My code looks like this:
Bills = new Mongo.Collection("bills");
if (Meteor.isClient) {
Meteor.subscribe("bills");
// This code only runs on the client
Template.body.helpers({
documentContent: function () {
return Bills.find();
}
});
Template.documentBody.helpers({
documentContent: function ()
{
var thingy = Bills.find();
console.log(thingy);
return Bills.find({_id: "784576346gf874"});
}
});
}
I have connected to the DB via the shell using the following:
$ MONGO_URL="mongodb://mysite.net:27017/legislation" meteor
In my browser I receive no errors and within my defined template I see [object Object]. The console shows a local miniCollection but doesn't return any of my documents from the subscribed collection.
I guess what I am asking is; if you were connecting to a remote MongoDB within your local app, how would you do it?
Thank you for taking the time to read, any helps is massively appreciated.
Rex, If you're not seeing errors in the output on the browser, or in the console where you're running the server then you may be setup ok. That's exactly how I'm doing it.
Run meteor list in server directory and look for insecure and autopublish
You should understand these two packages They are for rapid prototyping. If they are present, then keep digging into MongoDB and the connection.
I recommend Robomongo for viewing documents directly in MongoDB.
If they are absent, then you need to go about publishing data (getting it from the server to the client) and securing it (letting clients only modify their data).
I recommend these two packages for that.
reywood:publish-composite
ongoworks:security
If you haven't read an introduction to meteor book, it's really worth the time. I've been developing for some time and learned meteor recently. It was invaluable.
