Good evening guys,
I program a symfony website by using webpack encore bundle to manage js & css.
I used to work with jquery which is quite simple, but would like to evolve to pure javascript.
I try to translate the following code in javascript :
<html>
<button class="exercice-class" data-id="x">exercice button</button>
</html>
when an user click on the "exercice button", i want to get the value of data-id to generate an URL
<script>
$(function() {
$('.exercice-class').on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
let id = $(this).data("id");
let url = "../exercice-class/" + id + "/";
$.get(url, function(data){
$(".container-fluid").append(data);
$('#showModal').modal('show');
});
});
});
</script>
Then i get the content of the URL and add it to the modal window
What I want to do first is to open a modal window by using a variable as a parameter.
Second question, I would like to get data from a modal (using a form) and send them to a database. I read things about asynchronous request by it's not really clear for me, i'm looking for something close to ajax request.
Thank you in advance.!
Juuk
here is a small example, you can test it
var classbutton = document.querySelector('.exercice-class');
classbutton.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
let id = element.getAttribute('id');
let url = "../exercice-class/" + id + "/";
let requete = new XMLHttpRequest();
requete.open('GET', url);
requete.send();
requete.onload = function() {
if (requete.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
if (requete.status === 200) {
let reponse = requete.response;
document.querySelector('.container-fluid').append(reponse);
document.querySelector('#showModal').showModal();
}
else {
}
}
}
});
Thanks for your response! i tried your code and work on it...
This is what i did :
let httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
httpRequest.open("GET", url);
httpRequest.send();
httpRequest.onload = function (){
if (httpRequest.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE){
if (httpRequest.status === 200){
let httpResponse = httpRequest.response;
console.log(httpResponse);
}
}
}
It seems that fetch is a newer way to work with data since vanilla.
I did the same thing we tried to do before and i succeeded to get data.
document.addEventListener('click', function (event) {
if (!event.target.closest('.exercice-class')){
return null;
}
else {
event.preventDefault();
let exercice = event.target.closest(".exercice-class");
let dataAttribute = exercice.getAttribute('data-id');
let url = "../exercice-class/" + dataAttribute + "/";
fetch(url)
.then(function (response) {
return response.text();
})
.then(function (data) {
console.log(data)
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
});
In reality i get the same result with the two solutions.. the problem is that i get "data" i can't exploit...
Imagine i use the second example :
if i try to do :
.then(function (data) {
let exerciceData = data.getElementById("#adiv");
document.querySelector('container-fluid').append(exerciceData);
document.querySelector('showModal').show();
"exerciceData" can't be used.
Modal just don't open.
Thank for your help.
Background
I am building a local area network, WebRTC baby monitor with a raspberry pi camera module and USB microphone. The stream is synthesized with GStreamer and im using Janus Gateway to facilitate the WebRTC connection between a web browser and the Pi. The webpage and Javascript is a stripped down version of the streaming demo provided by Meetecho.
This is my first time using many of these technologies and am a bit in over my head with troubleshooting at the moment. I'm having trouble figuring out why the web page works in Chrome and Safari, but does not work in Firefox.
It works fine on Chrome and Safari:
In Firefox, the WebRTC connection seems to be successfully established and maintained (based on comparisons of the network traffic and console output between Chrome and Firefox), but the page seems to get caught up somewhere along the way:
Comparing the consoles
When comparing the console outputs of Chrome and Firefox, they are identical until this point where both consoles report Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: but for possibly different reasons?
Firefox says Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request.
Chrome says Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The play() request was interrupted by a new load request.
Are these the same errors with different "Hints"? Or are they actually different errors due to some underlying difference between the browsers?
Immediately after this error, Firefox diverges from Chrome by reporting Remote track removed.
Im unsure if I am doing something silly in the JS to cause this or if there is some nuance about Firefox that I am missing.
Other details that might be helpful?
Below is part of the html (index.html) and javascript (janus_stream.js) for the page, the pastebin link contains the whole janus_stream.js.
// We make use of this 'server' variable to provide the address of the
// REST Janus API. By default, in this example we assume that Janus is
// co-located with the web server hosting the HTML pages but listening
// on a different port (8088, the default for HTTP in Janus), which is
// why we make use of the 'window.location.hostname' base address. Since
// Janus can also do HTTPS, and considering we don't really want to make
// use of HTTP for Janus if your demos are served on HTTPS, we also rely
// on the 'window.location.protocol' prefix to build the variable, in
// particular to also change the port used to contact Janus (8088 for
// HTTP and 8089 for HTTPS, if enabled).
// In case you place Janus behind an Apache frontend (as we did on the
// online demos at http://janus.conf.meetecho.com) you can just use a
// relative path for the variable, e.g.:
//
// var server = "/janus";
//
// which will take care of this on its own.
//
//
// If you want to use the WebSockets frontend to Janus, instead, you'll
// have to pass a different kind of address, e.g.:
//
// var server = "ws://" + window.location.hostname + ":8188";
//
// Of course this assumes that support for WebSockets has been built in
// when compiling the server. WebSockets support has not been tested
// as much as the REST API, so handle with care!
//
//
// If you have multiple options available, and want to let the library
// autodetect the best way to contact your server (or pool of servers),
// you can also pass an array of servers, e.g., to provide alternative
// means of access (e.g., try WebSockets first and, if that fails, fall
// back to plain HTTP) or just have failover servers:
//
// var server = [
// "ws://" + window.location.hostname + ":8188",
// "/janus"
// ];
//
// This will tell the library to try connecting to each of the servers
// in the presented order. The first working server will be used for
// the whole session.
//

The Questions
What am I doing wrong that prevents this from working in Firefox?
What can the diverging console outputs tell me about what I am doing wrong?
Do you have any suggestions on where to look / what to try to get this working in Firefox?
Any pointers or ideas are greatly appreciated! Please let me know if I can provide other information.
Thank you!
Update: Theory / Possible answer?
In an attempt to address the Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request. error, I changed video.play() to video.load(). This addressed the error, but the same Remote track removed and "No remote video" behavior persists.
In the meantime I may have discovered the more fundamental issue: The video stream from the Pi is H264, and from what I can tell, Firefox does not support this format? Perhaps this is the reason that I am having issues with firefox?
Can any of you confirm or deny this as the true issue?
The issue is related to H264 incompatibility, but after seeing this thread I realized i was a victim of the same issue.
I needed to update one line in my janus.plugin.streaming.jcfg file so that it looks like this:
RPI3: {
type = "rtp"
id = 1
description = "Raspberry Pi 3 Infrared Camera Module stream"
video = true
videoport = 5001
videopt = 96
videortpmap = "H264/90000"
videofmtp = "profile-level-id=42e01f;packetization-mode=1"
audio = true
audioport = 5002
audiopt = 111
audiortpmap = "opus/48000/2"
}
Previously I was using this "incomplete" line which was causing the issue:
...
videofmtp = "packetization-mode=1"
...
Apparently this enables the correct H264 "profile" that can work with Firefox's OpenH264 plugin. Now i am able to view the stream with both chrome and firefox!
I need to check every content change on a web site.
I wrote a PhantomJS function to get the whole web site. After receiving the web site I parse every row to get the data.
Now I want to hold the connection and receive all JS-updates.
What need I do to get the JS-updates?
I hope my question is clear.
Here some code explanations:
Pseudo HTML Website
<html>
<head>...</head>
<body>
<div class="value-123" onload="(function() { setInterval(retrieveData(...), 5000); })">
<!-- If retrieveData finished, VALUE will change from e.g. 1.23 to 4.235 -->
VALUE
</div>
</body>
</html>
My PhantomJS Code:
const string cEndLine = "All output received";
var sb = new StringBuilder();
var p = new PhantomJS();
p.OutputReceived += (sender, e) =>
{
if (e.Data == cEndLine)
{
callBack(sb.ToString());
}
else
{
sb.AppendLine(e.Data);
}
};
p.RunScript(#"
var page = require('webpage').create();
page.settings.loadImages = false;
page.viewportSize = { width: 1920, height: 1080 };
page.onLoadFinished = function(status) {
if (status=='success') {
setTimeout(function() {
console.log(page.content);
console.log('" + cEndLine + #"');
phantom.exit();
}," + waitAfterPageLoad.TotalMilliseconds + #");
}
};
var url = '" + url + #"';
page.open(url);", new string[0]);
For an assignment, I am making a request to the Github Gist API and then appending the response to an HTML page. I am then supposed to allow the user to "favorite" one of the GISTS and then that GIST is to appear in a separate favorites section (favorited GISTS are to be stored in local storage). I am able to make the request, append the information and make the favorited GISTs appear in another section HOWEVER, the lists only appear for a moment and then disappear after I click on the favorite button. I can see the list flash and then go away. All of the other (non-favorite) GIST info also disappears even though it's not supposed. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I'm not allowed to use any JQuery. Full code here: http://pastebin.com/ic0juq9n
Critical code below:
var getData = function(url)
{
if(!req)
{
throw 'Unable to create HttpRequest.';
}
req.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if(this.readyState === 4)
{
if (req.status === 200)
{
console.log("It worked!!");
var info = JSON.parse(req.responseText);
for(var key in info)
{
GistList.push(info[key]);
}
}
else
{
console.log("It messed up again");
}
}
for (i = 0; i < GistList.length; i++)
{
generateGistList(GistList[i]);
}
}
req.open('GET', url);
req.send();
};
function generateGistList(Gist) {
var itemList = document.createElement('li');
var holdURL = document.createElement('div');
var holdID = document.createElement('div');
var description = document.createElement('div');
if (Gist.description === null)
{
description.innerHTML = "No description found";
}
else
{
description.innerHTML = "Description: " + Gist.description;
}
holdURL.innerHTML = "URL: " + Gist.url;
holdID.innerHTML = "ID: " + Gist.id;
itemList.appendChild(holdID);
itemList.appendChild(holdURL);
itemList.appendChild(description);
ul.appendChild(itemList);
list.appendChild(ul);
var favorite = document.createElement("button");
favorite.innerHTML = "+";
favorite.setAttribute("gistId", Gist.id);
itemList.appendChild(favorite);
favorite.onclick = function()
{
var gistId = this.getAttribute("gistId"); //saved
var toBeFavoredGist = findById(gistId);
//here you add the gist to your favorite list in the localStorage
and remove it from the gist list and add it to favorite list
addFavorite(toBeFavoredGist);
DisplayFavs();
//removeGist(toBeFavoredGist);
}
}
Make sure if you're using forms that the form tag has an action attribute!
I am stuck with Social login (Facebook, Google and twitter) through Phonegap.
I have googled and found so many solutions, but they don't work on either platform (i.e: android or iOS).
Does any one have implemented social login in his/her app using phonegap?
If any one could provide me the running code, that would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I know it's probably late to answer your particular question but I have had the same issue - all of the current (September 2016) scripts, snippets and libraries for social login in PhoneGap/Cordova that I have tried did not work so I made some simple functions from scratch which may still be useful to people ending up here. You can use them to log the user in with LinkedIn, Facebook and Google(+). I have also made some simple functions that retrieve some basic user information from the access token that is returned by logging the user in with the given network. You can examine the functions but they usually save the token or/and the user data to localStorage for later usage. They have been tested in September 2016 and work perfectly. I hope that this would help other people who also land on failing snippets around the web.
You can just insert the code and use the functions whenever you want. It requires jQuery and PhoneGap's InAppBrowser (besides having made apps/clients in the social media in order to fill the app id and app secret).
As a side note, it is not the best move to store the client secret directly in the PhoneGap application as the source can be viewed by malevolent people.
The code can be refactored at many places, so feel free to do that, but it does the trick. You may also have to handle cases where the user cancels the login process.
var facebookLogin = function(appId, appSecret, successCb,errCb) {
/*$.get("https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=" + appId + "&client_secret=" +appSecret + "&grant_type=client_credentials", function(res) {
if (res.indexOf("access_token=") !== -1) {
successCb(res.replace("access_token=", "").trim());
}
else {
errCb(res);
}
})
