I am developing an API but with BDD methods. My only test that is failing is the mongodb POST method. Mocha is saying that my insert() property is undefined. All of my other db functions are passing. But from what I can find is that I have stated it correct. Here is my route:
server.post('/courses/course', function(req, res, next) {
req.course.insert(req.body, {}, function(err, results) {
if(err) return next(err);
res.send(results);
});
});
And my test (mocha/CHAI):
var id;
it('should create a new course basic info', function(done) {
request(server)
.post('/courses/course')
.send({
tdcNumber: 'some wierd number',
shortTitle: 'Ammo something',
longTitle: 'Mass Destruction Power'
})
.expect(200)
.end(function(err, res) {
if(err) return done(err);
expect(err).to.equal(null);
expect(res.body.length).to.equal(1);
expect(res.body[0]._id.length).to.equal(24);
id = res.body[0]._id;
//expect(res.body.success).to.equal(true);
//expect(res.body).to.be.an('object');
//expect(res.body.course.shortTitle).to.equal('Ammo something');
//expect(res.body.course.tdcNuymber).to.equal('some wierd number');
//expect(res.body.course.longTitle).to.equal('Mass Destruction Power');
})
done();
});
I am sure that its a stupid noobie mistake. I have my project up on github https://github.com/EnergeticPixels/apiMockgoose
so where is it??
tony
wrong method used. Should have used .'save' as in the following:
courseName.save(function(err) {
if(err) res.send(err);
res.json({message: 'A new course name added to the library shelves!', data: courseName});
});
new project with sample code is https://github.com/EnergeticPixels/hermes-cardCatalog/commit/a675a322589cd1857b628ccf3122a18ae4c748cf

So I am sending data of a mission, the startdate and the finish date. However I am not able to put any changes into the database as it believes I get an immutable error with mongoDB... I would like to stick with using the .then method for my js code.
My other methods are working properly, I just can't get this update method right...
app.put('/missions/:id', function (req, res) {
if (req.user) {
model.Mission.findById(req.params.id).then(function(Mission){
console.log("req.body.secret_mission: ",req.body.secret_mission)
Mission['secret_mission'] = req.body.secret_mission;
Mission['start'] = req.body.start;
Mission['complete'] = req.body.complete;
Mission.update().then(function(){
res.set('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
res.sendStatus(201);
});
});
}else{
res.sendStatus(401);
}
});
Error I receive in the command line
I was able to use all the help provided to come up with a working solution and keep consistent to how I am calling the rest of my code. A big thanks to those that responded!!
Rather than setting the elements in my collection beforehand I am supposed to do it in the update request. Instead of calling 2 methods I used the findOneAndUpdate.
app.put('/missions/:id', function (req, res) {
if (req.user) {
model.Mission.findOneAndUpdate(
{'_id' : req.params.id},
{ $set: {"secret_mission" : req.body.secret_mission,
"start" : req.body.start},
"complete" : req.body.complete
}).then(function(err, missions){
if (err) return res.json({Error: err});
res.json(missions);
});
} else {
res.sendSatus(401);
}
});
I've cleaned up Your code:
removed req.user check to middleware,
included cors module to not to play with CORS headers in every handler
used async/await stuff to give it more synchronous look
mission/:id route handler just have concrete logic without garbage
Check this solution:
const cors = require('cors'); // install: npm i --save cors
const _ = require('lodash'); // install: npm i --save lodash
app.use(cors());
const isUserAuthorized = (req, res, next) => {
if (!req.user) return res.status(401).send();
next();
}
app.put(
'/missions/:id',
isUserAuthorized,
async (req, res) => {
try {
const mission = await model.Mission.findById(req.params.id);
if (!mission) return res.status(404).send();
mission.set(_.pick(req.body, ['secret_mission', 'start', 'complete']);
await mission.save();
res.status(201).send();
}
catch (error) {
console.log(error);
res.status(500).send();
}
});
or if You don't care if record in db exist or not, so You can just push update directly:
app.put(
'/missions/:id',
isUserAuthorized,
async (req, res) => {
try {
const data = _.pick(req.body, ['secret_mission', 'start', 'complete']);
await model.Mission.update({_id: req.params.id}, {$set: data});
res.status(201).send();
}
catch (error) {
console.log(error);
res.status(500).send();
}
});
I am sending my data like. I am new to angular. I am not able to access the userDetails in my post request.
Upload.upload({
url: '/api/upload/',
data: {'File': File, 'userDetails': userDetails}
});
Server Code:
userRouter.route('/upload')
.post(function(req, res) {
console.log(req.data);
upload(req, res, function(err) {
if(err) {
res.json({ error_code:1, err_desc:err });
return;
}
res.json({ error_code:0, err_desc:null });
})
});
the field req.data is undefined
I'm new on angularjs too and I had the same problem. I made use of https://github.com/expressjs/node-multiparty to get the data sent from ng-file-upload.
I hope it helps you too.
This is quite a broad question, however I currently have a Sails API server and a React Front-end (Standalone).
Note: The React Front-End is NOT part of Sails
I'm trying to get to grips with sockets, so I figured I would start simple. I want to achieve the following:
User visits my website (React)
React opens a socket and connects to Sails
Sails streams the data from within a function/model
React updates when new data is added to the model
I semi understand how this works using Express and React, however I cannot get my head around how Sails implements their version of WebSockets on top of Sockets.io.
What I've done is install the sockets.io-client within React, and then trying to use sails.sockets inside Sails.
This is what I currently have:
React Component NB: I don't think this is correct at all
componentDidMount =()=> {
this.getSessionData();
UserStore.listen(this.getSessionData);
Socket.emit('/listSessions', function(data){
console.log(data);
})
}
Sails Function (listSessions)
listSessions: function(req, res) {
Session.find({ where: {visible: true}, sort: 'createdAt DESC'},
function(err, sessions){
if(req.isSocket){
Session.watch(req.socket);
console.log('User subscribed to ' + req.socket.id);
}
if(err) return res.json(500, {
error: err,
message: 'Something went wrong when finding trades'
});
return res.json(200, {
sessions: sessions,
});
})
},
Sails Function (createSession) Trying to use publishCreate to use in conjunction with Session.watch in the above function
createSession: function(req, res){
var token = jwt.sign({
expiresIn: 30,
}, 'overwatch');
Session.create({
username: req.body.username,
platform: req.body.platform,
lookingFor: req.body.lookingFor,
microphone: req.body.microphone,
gameMode: req.body.gameMode,
comments: req.body.comments,
avatar: null,
level: null,
hash: token,
competitiveRank: null,
region: req.body.region,
visible: true,
}).exec(function(err, created){
Session.publishCreate(created);
if(err) {
console.log(err);
return res.send({
error: err,
message: 'Something went wrong when adding a session',
code: 91
})
}
if(req.isSocket){
Session.watch(req.socket);
console.log('User subscribed to ' + req.socket.id);
}
return res.send({
session: created,
code: 00,
})
});
},
Both of the Sails functions are called using POST/GET.
I'm completely stumped as where to go with this, and it seems to documentation or explanation on how to get this working is limited. All the Sails documentation on Sockets seems to relate to using Sails as a front-end and server
OK so I managed to solve this:
Simply put:
Within React, I had to include https://github.com/balderdashy/sails.io.js/tree/master
Then within my React component I did:
componentDidMount =()=> {
io.socket.get('/listSessions',(resData, jwres) => {
console.log('test');
this.setState({
sessions: resData.sessions,
loaded: true,
})
})
io.socket.on('session', (event) => {
if(event.verb == 'created') {
let sessions = this.state.sessions;
sessions.push(event.data);
this.setState({
sessions: sessions
})
} else {
console.log('nah');
}
});
}
This makes a virtual get request to Sails using Socket.io, and sets the response in state. It also watches for updates to the 'session' connection and updates the state with these updates meaning I can update a list in real time
Within my Sails controller I have:
listSessions: function(req, res) {
if(req.isSocket){
Session.find({ where: {visible: true}, sort: 'createdAt DESC'},
function(err, sessions){
Session.watch(req.socket);
if(err) return res.json(500, {
error: err,
message: 'Something went wrong when finding trades'
});
return res.json(200, {
sessions: sessions,
});
})
}
},
The Session.watch line listens for updates via publishCreate on the model which is found in my model as follows:
afterCreate: function(message, next) {
Session.publishCreate(message);
next();
},
Adding to answer by #K20GH , add the following to my "index.js" in React to help get sails.io.js from the CDN :
const fetchJsFromCDN = (src, externals = []) => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const script = document.createElement('script');
script.setAttribute('src', src);
script.addEventListener('load', () => {
resolve(
externals.map(key => {
const ext = window[key];
typeof ext === 'undefined' &&
console.warn(`No external named '${key}' in window`);
return ext;
})
);
});
script.addEventListener('error', reject);
document.body.appendChild(script);
});
};
fetchJsFromCDN(
'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/sails.io.js/1.0.1/sails.io.min.js',
['io']
).then(([io]) => {
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
io.sails.url = 'http://localhost:1337';
}
});
Once you have this, you'll be able to use the HTTP type GET, PUT, POST and DELETE methods. So here you can do:
componentDidMount =()=> {
io.socket.get('/listSessions',(resData, jwres) => {
console.log('test');
this.setState({
sessions: resData.sessions,
loaded: true,
})
})
io.socket.on('session', (event) => {
if(event.verb == 'created') {
let sessions = this.state.sessions;
sessions.push(event.data);
this.setState({
sessions: sessions
})
} else {
console.log('Not created session');
}
});
}
And you can do the required setup in sails for the models of sessions as suggested above
I have a mongoose schema with a unique field and I am trying to write a backend (express) integration test which checks that POSTing the same entity twice results in HTTP 400. When testing manually behaviour is as excpected. Automatic testing however requires a wait:
it('should not accept two projects with the same name', function(done) {
var project = // ...
postProjectExpect201(project,
() => {
setTimeout( () => {
postProjectExpect400(project, done);
},100);
}
);
});
The two post... methods do as named and the code above works fine, but if the timeout is removed, BOTH requests receive HTTP 200 (though only one entity created in the database).
I'm new to those technologies and I'm not sure what's going on. Could this be a mongodb related concurrency issue and if so how should I deal with it?
The database call looks like this:
Project.create(req.body)
.then(respondWithResult(res, 201))
.catch(next);
I already tried connecting to mongodb with ?w=1 option btw.
Update:
To be more verbose: Project is a mongoose model and next is my express error handler which catches the duplicate error.
The test functions:
var postProjectExpect201=function(project, done, validateProject) {
request(app)
.post('/api/projects')
.send(project)
.expect(201)
.expect('Content-Type', /json/)
.end((err, res) => {
if (err) {
return done(err);
}
validateProject && validateProject(res.body);
done();
});
};
var postProjectExpect400=function(project, done) {
request(app)
.post('/api/projects')
.send(project)
.expect(400)
.end((err, res) => {
if (err) {
return done(err);
}
done();
});
};
I'm looking for help to understand this code from the sample module Articles in the mean.io generated app. I can't figure out what Articles.events.publish is for.
file: packages/core/articles/server/controllers/articles.js
create: function(req, res) {
var article = new Article(req.body);
article.user = req.user;
article.save(function(err) {
if (err) {
return res.status(500).json({
error: 'Cannot save the article'
});
}
Articles.events.publish({
action: 'created',
user: {
name: req.user.name
},
url: config.hostname + '/articles/' + article._id,
name: article.title
});
res.json(article);
});
}
It's used to send data to stacksight. For detail, you can refer Module's constructor in node_modules/meanio/lib/core_modules/module/index.js, and you can find stacksight under node_modules/meanio/node_modules/stacksight.
But it will NOT send these information by default, it needs to request app id and API token from stacksight first.
