I made my TextDocumentContentProvider for virtual documents. I'm generating the content of the file on the go, and it looks like VS Code is caching the content of the file. This is a problem for me. I expect to see a new number in the text of the document every time. Does anyone know how to get around this without using random numbers in the filename?
const vscode = require('vscode');
class MyVirtualDocument {
constructor() {
this.onDidChangeEmitter = new vscode.EventEmitter();
this.onDidChange = this.onDidChangeEmitter.event;
}
provideTextDocumentContent(uri) {
return "Test String for uri: " + uri.path + "\nRandom number: " + Math.floor(Math.random() * 65535) + ".";
}
};
function activate(context)
{
context.subscriptions.push(vscode.workspace.registerTextDocumentContentProvider('myvirtualdocument', new MyVirtualDocument()));
context.subscriptions.push(vscode.commands.registerCommand('myvirtualdocument.open', () => {
vscode.workspace.openTextDocument(vscode.Uri.parse('myvirtualdocument:1.txt')).then(doc => {
vscode.window.showTextDocument(doc, { preview: true });
});
}));
}
function deactivate(){}
module.exports = {activate, deactivate}
What is the recommended way to map the data to an object and return it as a promise/observable while being able to add dynamic/conditional parameters to the query.
In getCompanies2 I can dynamically add parameters to the query but I can't figure out how to map the data returned to my object and return it as a promise/observable.
In getCompanies everything works as I want it but I have to duplicate the code (as below) if I have dynamic query parameters to add.
Note: convertDocTimeStampsToDate just does what it says. I have excluded it to reduce the size of the code section.
getCompanies(searchText: string, useWhereActive: boolean): Observable<Company[]> {
if (useWhereActive) {
return this.db.collection('companies', ref => ref
.orderBy('name').startAt(searchText).endAt(searchText + '\uf8ff')
.where('active', '==', true)
)
.snapshotChanges()
.pipe(
map(snaps => convertSnaps<Company>(snaps)),
first()
);
} else {
return this.db.collection('companies', ref => ref
.orderBy('name').startAt(searchText).endAt(searchText + '\uf8ff')
)
.snapshotChanges()
.pipe(
map(snaps => convertSnaps<Company>(snaps)),
first()
);
}
}
getCompanies2(searchText: string, useWhereActive: boolean) {
let query = this.db.collection('companies').ref
.orderBy('name').startAt(searchText).endAt(searchText + '\uf8ff');
if (useWhereActive) {
query.where('active', '==', true);
}
query.get().then(querySnapshot => {
const results = this.convertDocuments<Company>(querySnapshot.docs);
console.log(results);
});
}
convertDocuments<T>(docs) {
return <T[]>docs.map(doc => {
return {
id: doc.id,
...doc.data()
};
});
}
export function convertSnaps<T>(snaps) {
return <T[]>snaps.map(snap => {
const data = convertDocTimeStampsToDate(snap.payload.doc.data());
return {
id: snap.payload.doc.id,
...data
};
});
}
I got it to work like below, I guess I am still getting my head around promises.
Any better solutions will be accepted though as I am still learning and don't know if this is the best method.
getCompanies2(searchText: string, useWhereActive: boolean) {
let query = this.db.collection('companies').ref
.orderBy('name').startAt(searchText).endAt(searchText + '\uf8ff');
if (useWhereActive) {
query.where('active', '==', true);
}
return query.get().then(querySnapshot => {
return this.convertDocuments<Company>(querySnapshot.docs);
});
}
I have my REST API where I put my pdf file, now I want my angular app to download it on click via my web browser but I got HttpErrorResponse
"Unexpected token % in JSON at position 0"
"SyntaxError: Unexpected token % in JSON at position 0↵ at JSON.parse (
this is my endpoint
#GetMapping("/help/pdf2")
public ResponseEntity<InputStreamResource> getPdf2(){
Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("/pdf-sample.pdf");
long r = 0;
InputStream is=null;
try {
is = resource.getInputStream();
r = resource.contentLength();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return ResponseEntity.ok().contentLength(r)
.contentType(MediaType.parseMediaType("application/pdf"))
.body(new InputStreamResource(is));
}
this is my service
getPdf() {
this.authKey = localStorage.getItem('jwt_token');
const httpOptions = {
headers: new HttpHeaders({
'Content-Type': 'application/pdf',
'Authorization' : this.authKey,
responseType : 'blob',
Accept : 'application/pdf',
observe : 'response'
})
};
return this.http
.get("http://localhost:9989/api/download/help/pdf2", httpOptions);
}
and invocation
this.downloadService.getPdf()
.subscribe((resultBlob: Blob) => {
var downloadURL = URL.createObjectURL(resultBlob);
window.open(downloadURL);});
I resolved it as follows:
// header.component.ts
this.downloadService.getPdf().subscribe((data) => {
this.blob = new Blob([data], {type: 'application/pdf'});
var downloadURL = window.URL.createObjectURL(data);
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = downloadURL;
link.download = "help.pdf";
link.click();
});
//download.service.ts
getPdf() {
const httpOptions = {
responseType: 'blob' as 'json')
};
return this.http.get(`${this.BASE_URL}/help/pdf`, httpOptions);
}
I solved the issue in this way (please note that I have merged multiple solutions found on stack overflow, but I cannot find the references. Feel free to add them in the comments).
In My service I have:
public getPDF(): Observable<Blob> {
//const options = { responseType: 'blob' }; there is no use of this
let uri = '/my/uri';
// this.http refers to HttpClient. Note here that you cannot use the generic get<Blob> as it does not compile: instead you "choose" the appropriate API in this way.
return this.http.get(uri, { responseType: 'blob' });
}
In the component, I have (this is the part merged from multiple answers):
public showPDF(fileName: string): void {
this.myService.getPDF()
.subscribe(x => {
// It is necessary to create a new blob object with mime-type explicitly set
// otherwise only Chrome works like it should
var newBlob = new Blob([x], { type: "application/pdf" });
// IE doesn't allow using a blob object directly as link href
// instead it is necessary to use msSaveOrOpenBlob
if (window.navigator && window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) {
window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(newBlob, fileName);
return;
}
// For other browsers:
// Create a link pointing to the ObjectURL containing the blob.
const data = window.URL.createObjectURL(newBlob);
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = data;
link.download = fileName;
// this is necessary as link.click() does not work on the latest firefox
link.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('click', { bubbles: true, cancelable: true, view: window }));
setTimeout(function () {
// For Firefox it is necessary to delay revoking the ObjectURL
window.URL.revokeObjectURL(data);
link.remove();
}, 100);
});
}
The code above works in IE, Edge, Chrome and Firefox. However, I don't really like it, as my component is pulluted with browser specific stuff which will surely change over time.
For Angular 12+, I came up with something like this:
this.ApiService
.getFileFromApi()
.pipe(take(1))
.subscribe((response) => {
const downloadLink = document.createElement('a');
downloadLink.href = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([response.body], { type: response.body.type }));
const contentDisposition = response.headers.get('content-disposition');
const fileName = contentDisposition.split(';')[1].split('filename')[1].split('=')[1].trim();
downloadLink.download = fileName;
downloadLink.click();
});
The subscribe is on a simple get() with the Angular HttpClient.
// api-service.ts
getFileFromApi(url: string): Observable<HttpResponse<Blob>> {
return this.httpClient.get<Blob>(this.baseApiUrl + url, { observe: 'response', responseType: 'blob' as 'json'});
}
You can do it with angular directives:
#Directive({
selector: '[downloadInvoice]',
exportAs: 'downloadInvoice',
})
export class DownloadInvoiceDirective implements OnDestroy {
#Input() orderNumber: string;
private destroy$: Subject<void> = new Subject<void>();
_loading = false;
constructor(private ref: ElementRef, private api: Api) {}
#HostListener('click')
onClick(): void {
this._loading = true;
this.api.downloadInvoice(this.orderNumber)
.pipe(
takeUntil(this.destroy$),
map(response => new Blob([response], { type: 'application/pdf' })),
)
.subscribe((pdf: Blob) => {
this.ref.nativeElement.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(pdf);
this.ref.nativeElement.click();
});
}
// your loading custom class
#HostBinding('class.btn-loading') get loading() {
return this._loading;
}
ngOnDestroy(): void {
this.destroy$.next();
this.destroy$.complete();
}
}
In the template:
<a
downloadInvoice
[orderNumber]="order.number"
class="btn-show-invoice"
>
Show invoice
</a>
My answer is based on #Yennefer's, but I wanted to use the file name from the server since I didn't have it in my FE. I used the Content-Disposition header to transmit this, since that is what the browser uses for a direct download.
First, I needed access to the headers from the request (notice the get method options object):
public getFile(): Observable<HttpResponse<Blob>> {
let uri = '/my/uri';
return this.http.get(uri, { responseType: 'blob', observe: 'response' });
}
Next, I needed to extract the file name from the header.
public getFileName(res: HttpResponse<any>): string {
const disposition = res.headers.get('Content-Disposition');
if (!disposition) {
// either the disposition was not sent, or is not accessible
// (see CORS Access-Control-Expose-Headers)
return null;
}
const utf8FilenameRegex = /filename\*=UTF-8''([\w%\-\.]+)(?:; |$)/;
const asciiFilenameRegex = /filename=(["'])(.*?[^\\])\1(?:; |$)/;
let fileName: string = null;
if (utf8FilenameRegex.test(disposition)) {
fileName = decodeURIComponent(utf8FilenameRegex.exec(disposition)[1]);
} else {
const matches = asciiFilenameRegex.exec(disposition);
if (matches != null && matches[2]) {
fileName = matches[2];
}
}
return fileName;
}
This method checks for both ascii and utf-8 encoded file names, prefering utf-8.
Once I have the file name, I can update the download property of the link object (in #Yennifer's answer, that's the lines link.download = 'FileName.ext' and window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(newBlob, 'FileName.ext');)
A couple of notes on this code:
Content-Disposition is not in the default CORS whitelist, so it may not be accessible from the response object based on the your server's configuration. If this is the case, in the response server, set the header Access-Control-Expose-Headers to include Content-Disposition.
Some browsers will further clean up file names. My version of chrome seems to replace : and " with underscores. I'm sure there are others but that's out of scope.
//Step: 1
//Base Service
this.getPDF() {
return this.http.get(environment.baseUrl + apiUrl, {
responseType: 'blob',
headers: new HttpHeaders({
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Authorization': localStorage.getItem('AccessToken') || ''
})
});
}
//Step: 2
//downloadService
getReceipt() {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
try {
// {
const apiName = 'js/getReceipt/type/10/id/2';
this.getPDF(apiName).subscribe((data) => {
if (data !== null && data !== undefined) {
resolve(data);
} else {
reject();
}
}, (error) => {
console.log('ERROR STATUS', error.status);
reject(error);
});
} catch (error) {
reject(error);
}
});
}
//Step 3:
//Component
getReceipt().subscribe((respect: any) => {
var downloadURL = window.URL.createObjectURL(data);
var link = document.createElement(‘a’);
link.href = downloadURL;
link.download = “sample.pdf";
link.click();
});
This also works in IE and Chrome, almost the same answer only for other browsers the answer is a bit shorter.
getPdf(url: string): void {
this.invoiceService.getPdf(url).subscribe(response => {
// It is necessary to create a new blob object with mime-type explicitly set
// otherwise only Chrome works like it should
const newBlob = new Blob([(response)], { type: 'application/pdf' });
// IE doesn't allow using a blob object directly as link href
// instead it is necessary to use msSaveOrOpenBlob
if (window.navigator && window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) {
window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(newBlob);
return;
}
// For other browsers:
// Create a link pointing to the ObjectURL containing the blob.
const downloadURL = URL.createObjectURL(newBlob);
window.open(downloadURL);
});
}
I'm trying to convert mongoDB data passed by cookie on my client side from my server.
I'm using Express et React.js.
Cient:
export default class Profile extends React.Component {
constructor(){
super();
this.state = {}
}
componentWillMount(){
console.log(JSON.stringify(cookie.load('user')))
}
render(){
return (
<div>
<h1>Profile</h1>
</div>
)
}
The console.log return :
"j:{\"_id\":\"58e622ac7144862dbb5722f1\",\"password\":\"paswdtest\",\"email\":\"test#test.com\",\"pseudo\":\"testname\",\"__v\":0}"
Server:
const post = (req, res, next) => {
if(req.body.pseudo && req.body.password) {
User.authenticate(req.body.pseudo, req.body.password, (error, user) => {
if(error || !user) {
var error = new Error('Wrong email or password')
error.status = 401;
return next(error);
}
else {
req.session.user = user;
res.cookie('user', req.session.user)
return res.redirect('/profile');
}
})
}
else {
var error = new Error('Email and password are required');
error.status = 401;
return next(error);
}
}
I'm trying to convert with parse and stringlify but it's not working.
MongoDB doesn't return JSON but instead it returns extended JSON called BSON.
If your needs are simple then the quickest approach may be to just convert the BSON to JSON in your code.
For your example this would be
before
"j:{\"_id\":\"58e622ac7144862dbb5722f1\",\"password\":\"paswdtest\",\"email\":\"test#test.com\",\"pseudo\":\"testname\",\"__v\":0}"
after
{"j":{"_id":"58e622ac7144862dbb5722f1","password":"paswdtest","email":"test#test.com","pseudo":"testname","__v":0}}
I have written a authentication service to authenticate user name and password in a Login Page. The code below is the service.
public login(credentials) {
if (credentials.username === null || credentials.password === null) {
return Observable.throw("Please insert credentials");
} else {
let apiURL = 'http://localhost/timeclock/api/login?usercode=' + credentials.username +
'&password=' + credentials.password ;
return Observable.create(observer => {
this.http.get(apiURL).map(res => res.json()).subscribe(data => {
if (data.success === 'true')
{
this.currentUser.name = data.data.user_name;
this.currentUser.email = data.data.user_email;
observer.next(true);
observer.complete();
} else {
observer.next(false);
observer.complete();
}
});
});
}
}
When the user name and password is submitted, the URL is correctly called with the right parameters.
The http call takes very long time to complete. Also, no response is returned.
It takes only two or three seconds to get the response when I call the URL with the same parameters in the browser.
Any idea on how to fix this?
You don't need to create a new Observable you can refactor like this.
public login(credentials) : Observable<boolean> {
if (credentials.username === null || credentials.password === null) {
return Observable.throw("Please insert credentials");
} else {
let apiURL = 'http://localhost/timeclock/api/login?usercode=' + credentials.username +
'&password=' + credentials.password ;
return this.http.get(apiURL).map(res => res.json())
.map(data =>
{
if(data.success){
this.currentUser.name = data.data.user_name;
this.currentUser.email = data.data.user_email;
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
});
}
}
