How do I use express-winston to log all http requests sent to Parse Server?
I tried this:
var express = require('express');
var ParseServer = require('parse-server').ParseServer;
const app = express();
const winston = require('winston')
const expressWinston = require('express-winston');
app.use(expressWinston.logger({
transports: [
new winston.transports.Console()
],
format: winston.format.combine(
winston.format.colorize(),
winston.format.json()
)
}));
app.use('/parse', new ParseServer({
// ...
}));
const httpServer = require('http').createServer(app);
httpServer.listen(1337);
But there is no log output in the console from express-winston.
What's missing here?
Logging actually worked, but the output was not displayed to the debug console.
I was debugging in Visual Studio Code and had to set "outputCapture": "std" in the launch configuration to see the logs as described in the launch attributes.

As mentioned in the google documents i have tested the following process
URL to quick start: https://colab.research.google.com/github/google/android-management-api-samples/blob/master/notebooks/quickstart.ipynb#scrollTo=pjHfDSb8BoBP
Create Enterprise
Create Policy
Enroll the device
Then I have used the NODEJS API of Android Enterprises to develop the server based solution, which is working fine as per the documentation for all the functions such as get, create, delete the policy, devices, enterprises.
The issue i am facing is with the QR code generated from NODE application, when i scan the QR code generated from NODEJS application, the device got stuck at system update.
Following is my Policy update function
router.post('/update/:id', async function(req, res) {
const {title,policy_body,update_mask,enroll_url} = req.body;
// here we are callng the android managment API to and then the response we will update to database
const amApiBody = {
name: policy_body.name,
updateMask:update_mask,
requestBody:policy_body
}
const policy_update_response = await amApi.updatePolicy(amApiBody);
const p = await policyModel.update(req.params.id,title,policy_update_response,enroll_url);
res.json(p)
});
AmAPI file
this.updatePolicy = async function (body)
{
const auth = new google.auth.GoogleAuth({
scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/androidmanagement'],
});
const authClient = await auth.getClient();
google.options({auth: authClient});
// Get the list of available policies
const res = await androidmanagement.enterprises.policies.patch(body);
console.log('requestFinalBody=',body);
return res.data;
}
Following is my policy data obtained by running above function
policy_create_response= {
name: 'enterprises/LC019rjnor/policies/policy1',
version: '14',
applications: [
{
packageName: 'com.google.samples.apps.iosched',
installType: 'FORCE_INSTALLED',
autoUpdateMode: 'AUTO_UPDATE_HIGH_PRIORITY'
},
{
packageName: 'com.dekaisheng.courier',
installType: 'FORCE_INSTALLED',
autoUpdateMode: 'AUTO_UPDATE_HIGH_PRIORITY'
}
],

tetheringConfigDisabled: true,
dataRoamingDisabled: true,
networkEscapeHatchEnabled: true,
bluetoothDisabled: true,
debuggingFeaturesAllowed: true,
funDisabled: true,
kioskCustomLauncherEnabled: true
}
Note i have exported the variable to the terminal as follows before running the app, the auth.json is the service account credential file.
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/Users/Mac/Projects/wajid/mdm/server/env/auth.json"
Thanks for the help in advance
I figured out that in nodeJS API I was passing wrong property name of Policy value in the request body.
Code before fix
parent: this.getParent(policyName),
requestBody:{
“name”: “my_policy"
}
Code after fix
parent: this.getParent(policyName),
requestBody:{
"policyName”: “my_policy"
}
I keep getting a WebPush Error (Status Code 403) fro Chrome for a PWA I'm building and the body says that I need to use the VAPID server key from the 'firebase console' but I used nodes Web-Push library to generate the VAPID Keys, whats going on? Do I have to use firebase to build PWAs in Chrome?

I have node.js express, postgres, angular 8 app.
I had the same problem and I got it working by adding the "gcm_sender_id": in the manifest.webmanifest file (or manifest.json I also used firebase generated public and private keys.
your gcm_sender_id is your project id in google cloud or firebase sender id
Same situation and almost lost my sanity. I tried inserting gcm_sender_id with a Firebase senderId and worked finally. I didn't have a Firebase account, but I was able to create a project in seconds and my senderId was ready to be used in the messaging settings.
But a caveat: After my modification in the manifest.json (in my case) in the root's folder, it was needed to uninstall the current service worker and restart my React project. Then I followed again all steps back by asking permissions and subscribe the user and finally trigger a push notification.
During my heat researches for a solution, I found that gcm_sender_id is also used to send and validate push messages from other browsers. According to Google Web Updates:
For Chrome prior to version 52, Opera Android and the Samsung Browser,
you're also still required to include a 'gcm_sender_id' in your web
app's manifest.json. The API key and sender ID are used to check
whether the server making the requests is actually allowed to send
messages to the receiving user.
I am trying to fill a pdf form using nodejs.
Im trying to use node-pdftk package for the same.Did following steps:
Installed pdftk for windows
mapped the path to the environment variables PATH
installed node-pdf package
`const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const cors = require('cors')
const pdftk = require('node-pdftk');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var multer = require('multer'); // v1.0.5
var upload = multer();
app.listen(8000, () => {
console.log('Server started!')
});
var pdfPath='OoPdfFormExample.pdf';
app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '50mb', extended: true}));
var formdata = {
'Given Name': 'Swetha',
'Family Name': 'Gulapannavar'
}
app.post('/api/file', upload.array(), (req, res, next) => {
//var buffer=JSON.stringify(Buffer.from(req.body));
var buffer=Buffer.from(req.body)
pdftk
.input(pdfPath)
.fillForm(formdata)
.flatten()
.output()
.then(buffer => {
// Still returns a buffer
res.type('application/pdf'); // If you omit this line, file will
download
res.send(buf);
})
.catch(err => {
res.send(err.message)
// handle errors
});
});`
but i'm getting following error when i try to execute the same.
Write EPIPE error.
This could be caused by node-pdftk not being able to find the PDFtk binaries; your PATH variable may not be set correctly for the account running your web service. You can set the bin path directly inside of your application using node-pdftk's configure function, which is briefly described on the node-pdftk npm project page. If that doesn't work, try configuring the tempDir path.
I have deployed 2 Ubuntu servers on Azure. First, I have installed the Parse Server and the second, I installed MongoDB. (I have also put a ready db there from my previous server via mongorestore)
Everything works fine! Both Parse Server and MongoDB server. They also communicate well. The thing is, when I run my iOS app, it brings all data correctly, except images. I print the URL of an image and here's what it returned: http://localhost:1337/parse/files/filename.jpeg
If I replace localhost with my server's ip, the image is being fetched nicely!
Here's what I have on my index.js:
var express = require('express');
var ParseServer = require('parse-server').ParseServer;
var ParseDashboard = require('parse-dashboard');
var allowInsecureHTTP = true;
var path = require('path');
var databaseUri = process.env.DATABASE_URI || process.env.MONGODB_URI;
if (!databaseUri) {
console.log('DATABASE_URI not specified, falling back to localhost.');
}
var api = new ParseServer({
databaseURI: databaseUri || 'mongodb://IP:27017/db',
cloud: './cloud/main.js',
appId: process.env.APP_ID || 'xxx',
masterKey: process.env.MASTER_KEY || 'xxx', //Add your master key here. Keep it secret!
fileKey: 'xxx',
serverURL: process.env.SERVER_URL || 'http://localhost:1337/parse', // Don't forget to change to https if needed
// Enable email verification
verifyUserEmails: false,
// The public URL of your app.
// This will appear in the link that is used to verify email addresses and reset passwords.
// Set the mount path as it is in serverURL
publicServerURL: 'http://localhost:1337/parse',
});
// Client-keys like the javascript key or the .NET key are not necessary with parse-server
// If you wish you require them, you can set them as options in the initialization above:
// javascriptKey, restAPIKey, dotNetKey, clientKey
var app = express();
// Serve static assets from the /public folder
app.use('/public', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/public')));
// Serve the Parse API on the /parse URL prefix
var mountPath = process.env.PARSE_MOUNT || '/parse';
app.use(mountPath, api);
// Parse Server plays nicely with the rest of your web routes
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.status(200).send('Make sure to star the parse-server repo on GitHub!');
});
// There will be a test page available on the /test path of your server url
// Remove this before launching your app
app.get('/test', function(req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '/public/test.html'));
});
var port = process.env.PORT || 1337;
var httpServer = require('http').createServer(app);
httpServer.listen(port, function() {
console.log('parse-server-example running on port ' + port + '.');
});
// Set up parse dashboard
var config = {
"allowInsecureHTTP": true,
"apps": [
{
"serverURL": "http://localhost:1337/parse",
"appId": "xxx",
"masterKey": "xxx",
"appName": "name",
"production": true
}
],
"users": [
{
"user":"username",
"pass":"pass"
}
]
};
var dashboard = new ParseDashboard(config, config.allowInsecureHTTP);
var dashApp = express();
// make the Parse Dashboard available at /dashboard
dashApp.use('/dashboard', dashboard);
// Parse Server plays nicely with the rest of your web routes
dashApp.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.status(200).send('Parse Dashboard App');
});
var httpServerDash = require('http').createServer(dashApp);
httpServerDash.listen(4040, function() {
console.log('dashboard-server running on port 4040.');
});
One thing I noticed at Parse's documentation, is this: When using files on Parse, you will need to use the publicServerURL option in your Parse Server config. This is the URL that files will be accessed from, so it should be a URL that resolves to your Parse Server. Make sure to include your mount point in this URL.
The thing is that this documentation was written having in mind MongoDB, is on the same server with Parse, which in my case isn't.
Any ideas on what to do?
I had to replace the publicServerURL of parse server's config, from http://localhost:1337/parse to http://publicIP:1337/parse and everything worked out great!
If you want to work with files(images) download them, just use publicServerURL as mentioned #Sotiris Kaniras
I would add that the config.json is in ~/stack/parse/config.json. Also here is the difference between serverURL and publicServerURL
Difference between serverURL and publicServerURL on ParseServer
In my case, I needed to add publicServerURL parameter alongside with serverURL because it hasn't existed yet.
So both parameters(publicServerURL & serverURL) are complement, not mutually exclusive, use them both.
Suppose we have the following command line to run a json-server (https://github.com/typicode/json-server):
json-server db.json --routes routes.json --port 8008 --delay 1000
If we were to run json-server as a module, how do we set these options? I can see the db.json defined and the port defined. But it is not clear how the rest of the options can be defined.
const jsonServer = require('json-server');
const server = jsonServer.create();
const router = jsonServer.router('db.json');
const middleWares = jsonServer.defaults();
server.use(middleWares);
router.render = (req, res) => {
console.log(req);
};
server.use(router);
server.listen(8008, () => {
console.log('JSON Server is running');
});
I found how to set the delay. This requires installing the connect-pause package, which is also used in the json-server code (https://www.npmjs.com/package/connect-pause):
npm install connect-pause
Then on the server.js file, I added the following a require('connect-pause') and used it in the json server app. Here is my code:
const fs = require('fs');
const pause = require('connect-pause');
const jsonServer = require('json-server');
const server = jsonServer.create();
const router = jsonServer.router('db.json');
const middlewares = jsonServer.defaults();
server.use(middlewares);
server.use(jsonServer.bodyParser);
//
// Define custom routes (routes.json)
//
var routes = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('routes.json'));
server.use(jsonServer.rewriter(routes));
...
server.use(pause(1000));
server.use(router);
server.listen(8008, () => {
console.log('JSON Server is running');
});
To set any other option varies wildly, but I mainly needed to know how to set the delay.
