I am trying to get a simple create user function running, but keep getting a strange sql error which I am assuming comes from some sort of error around my use of the auto-increment key for mysql, but have been unable to identify the actual issue.
Below is an example of my server code:
app.post('/createPhysician', function(req, res) {
console.log(req.body);
// do input checking here
var createPromise = interact.createPhysician(req.body.physicianID,
req.body.firstName,
req.body.lastName,
req.body.yearNum,
req.body.position,
req.body.isAttending,
req.body.highRiskTrained)
//did promise
createPromise.then(function(createResponse) {
res.status(200).json({"status":"success"}); // .end because we just want to return an empty response
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log(err);
res.status(500).json(err);
});
});
Below is the interact.sql code for the func:
createPhysician: function(
firstName,
lastName,
yearNum,
position,
isAttending,
highRiskTrained) {
var qry = "insert into Physician (firstName, lastName, yearNum, position, isAttending, highRiskTrained) values \
('"+firstName+"', '"+lastName+"', "+yearNum+", '"+position+"', "+isAttending+", "+highRiskTrained+");";
return runQuery(qry);
}
Below is description of my mysql table:
Below is what I am entering for a body into Postman:
{
"firstName": "firstName",
"lastName": "lastName",
"yearNum": 1,
"position": "coder",
"isAttending": 1,
"highRiskTrained": 0
}
Below is the error that I get in Postman from the request:
{
"code": "ER_BAD_FIELD_ERROR",
"errno": 1054,
"sqlMessage": "Unknown column 'coder' in 'field list'",
"sqlState": "42S22",
"index": 0,
"sql": "insert into Physician (firstName, lastName, yearNum, position, isAttending, highRiskTrained) values ('undefined', 'firstName', lastName, '1', coder, 1);"
}
The output of the API console log for the request body is below:
{ firstName: 'firstName',
lastName: 'lastName',
yearNum: 1,
position: 'coder',
isAttending: 1,
highRiskTrained: 0 }
When wrapping a query with a function, make sure the proper parameters are used by the query AND passed into the function into the correctly.
It always feels a little weird putting a formal answer to what ends up being little more than a typo, but I suppose you never know who might need the same kind of typo pointed out.

I have user object structured like this:
{
"id": "",
"username": "",
"name": "",
"bio": "",
"email": "",
"profileImg": "",
"phoneNumber": 0,
"messagingPoints": 0,
"funds": 0,
"inventoryId": "",
"lastLogin": "2022-02-23T03:27:13.535Z",
"isPrivate": false,
"messagesReceived": []
}
I want to be able to reach a patch endpoint to update any of these fields. For example, /api/user?id=userId&name=John, should be able to grab the field "name" and set it to John. /api/user/id=?id=userId&email=abc#gmail.com should grab the email field and set it to abc#gmail.com
I am struggling to find docs for MongoDB to accomplish this, so I'm wondering if it is not possible? Do I need a specific endpoint for each of these update operations (ex: /api/user/name?id=userId&value=John instead of /api/user?id=userId&name=John)?
If it is possible, how could I accomplish this? Thanks!
You can pass user ID in update filter. Also you can pass data in request body of the PUT request instead of query parameters.
app.put('/api/user', async (req, res) => {
const { id, ...data } = req.body;
// Filter out any invalid fields
// Update documents where id field is equal to value of id in request body
await collection.updateOne(
{ id },
{ $set: data }
);
return res.json({ data: "User updated" })
})
I know what the problem is, but can't figure out why it is happening. I have a simple recipe app using express and mongoose. User passes in recipe info via form and is saved to database via mongoose methods. This part seems to work perfectly and when I console.log using test data, I see that the following data is saved:
{
ingredients: [ 'peanut butter', 'jelly', 'bread' ],
_id: 5e47d564f775ce247052d01c,
name: 'pb jelly sammich',
author: 'rob',
oneLiner: 'classic pb jelly sammich',
image: 'picofpbsammich here',
method: 'add all the ingredients together and boom! pb jelly sammich.',
__v: 0
}
(This is also what shows when I check mongo db using db.recipes.find() and also what displays when I pass in the object to my ejs show template.
However, when I access my show route via get request, I get a long error message using the above test data. Here is they key part of the error message:
'Cast to ObjectId failed for value "picofpbsammich here" at path "_id" for model "Recipes"',
I understand what the problem is, but baffled as to why it is happening. Here is my show route:
app.get("/recipes/:id", function (req, res) {
console.log(req.params.id)
Recipe.findById(req.params.id, function (err, foundRecipe) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
res.render("show", { recipe: foundRecipe });
}
})
})
console logging the req.params.id as shown above, prints the following:
5e47d564f775ce247052d01c
picofpbsammich here
The first line is the correct ID, the second is obviously not and the cause of the problem, but I have no idea where that could be coming from :S Why would req.params.id be pulling the VALUE of a property that is named something completely different?
I'm new to mongoose so it's probably something silly I'm doing and any explanations appreciated.
Here is the model:
var mongoose = require("mongoose");
let recipeSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
author: String,
oneLiner: String,
ingredients: [String],
image: String,
method: String
})
module.exports = mongoose.model("Recipes", recipeSchema)
You posted the following code:
app.get("/recipes/:id", function (req, res) {
console.log(req.params.id)
Recipe.findById(req.params.id, function (err, foundRecipe) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
res.render("show", { recipe: foundRecipe });
}
})
})
And you mention that in the console.log you receive:
5e47d564f775ce247052d01c
picofpbsammich here
Followed by the exception being logged:
'Cast to ObjectId failed for value "picofpbsammich here" at path "_id"
for model "Recipes"',
Makes me logically assume that you are making two requests, one of which the id is not valid, being:
picofpbsammich here
Mongoose is not able to cast this value to an ObjectId, hence you get the exception, which makes sense imo.
I have a ReactJS form, in which you can dynamically add form "parts"(sections with form input). Here's an example of what I mean by "parts":
<div>
<input placeholder="Author" />
<input placeholder="Age" />
<input placeholder="Amount of books written" />
</div>
Something like this. You can add as many of these divs as you like.
I'm saving the values of these inputs in the state, which gives me a nested array like so:
this.state = {
formdata : [
{author: "somebody", age: 34, books: 0},
{author: "somebody else", age: 100, books: 1}
]
}
Right now I'm use axios post to post the data to node.js with express. This is my post function:
handleSubmit(e) {
axios.post('receivedata',
querystring.stringify({
formdata : this.state.formdata
}), {
headers : {"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}
}
)
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
And this is the mongoose schema that I use:
var EntrySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
formdata: [{type:String}],
updated_at: {type: Date, default: Date.now}
});
and this is how I (try to) send the data to my database:
router.post("/", function(req, res) {
newEntry.formdata = req.body.formdata;
newEntry.save(function (err) {
if(err)
res.send(err);
res.send("Entry added successfully!");
});
});
That doesn't work though and when I check the database, I receive an array with an empty string like so: formdata:[{""}]
I think the problem is with how the schema is set up, since, when I do console.log(this.state.formdata) it correctly returns the data. My next guess would be that axios is not able to send nested array, but after some research I found that that's not the case so I'm assuming that there's a special way to define nested arrays in the mongoose schema? How would I go about that?
Edit: I was thinking that maybe I could do something along the lines of:
var EntrySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
formdata: [{
author: String,
age: Number,
books: Number
}],
updated_at: {type: Date, default: Date.now}
});
I tried this and it doesn't work either. Now, I don't know if I'm on the right track or how else to do this.
I also tried changing the Content-Type in the header to "application/ json", as suggested in another answer. Once again, it didn't work.
Any help is appreciated.
Okay so after some playing around I figured it out: I used querystring.stringify() before, after changing it to JSON.stringify() it worked perfectly for me.
I'm using an API for updating profile, by adding nickname, email, phone or password in request parameters each of them will be updated in database.
I want to pass one of these each time depending on user's choice for example when I want to update Nick name:
{
"nickname": "alifa",
"device_id": "chrome",
"device_model": "browser",
"device_os": "angularJS"
}
or for updating email:
{
"email": "info#example.com",
"device_id": "chrome",
"device_model": "browser",
"device_os": "angularJS"
}
I want to do this by passing property name and property value to a function and it will make an object and send http post request:
this.updateDetails = function(dataName, dataValue){
Loader.global.show();
var data = $.param({
device_id: app.device_id,
device_os: app.device_os,
device_model: app.device_model
});
data[dataName] = dataValue;
console.log(data);
return $http.post(app.baseUrl + 'profile/' , data).success(function(){
Loader.global.hide();
}).error(function(){
Loader.global.hide();
})
}
but what it sends to server is just:
Is there any possible way to do this?
You need to modify the object you pass to param. Adding a property to the string you get out of param is pointless.
var data = {
device_id: app.device_id,
device_os: app.device_os,
device_model: app.device_model
};
data[dataName] = dataValue;
var encoded_data = $.param(data);
When I try to create an envelope from a template I get a response of:
{ errorCode: 'UNSPECIFIED_ERROR',
message: 'Non-static method requires a target.' }
Here's what I'm doing so far:
First I login, which returns
{ loginAccounts:
[ { name: '*****',
accountId: '*****',
baseUrl: 'https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/******',
isDefault: 'true',
userName: '***** ********',
userId: '*******-*****-*****-*****-*********',
email: '********#*******.com',
siteDescription: '' } ] }
So then I take the baseUrl out of that response and I attempt to create the envelope. I'm using the hapi framework and async.waterfall of the async library, so for anyone unfamiliar with either of these my use of the async library uses the next callback to call the next function which in this case would be to get the url for the iframe, and with our usage of the hapi framework AppServer.Wreck is roughy equivalent to request:
function prepareEnvelope(baseUrl, next) {
var createEntitlementTemplateId = "99C44F50-2C97-4074-896B-2454969CAEF7";
var getEnvelopeUrl = baseUrl + "/envelopes";
var options = {
headers: {
"X-DocuSign-Authentication": JSON.stringify(authHeader),
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Disposition": "form-data"
},
body : JSON.stringify({
status: "sent",
emailSubject: "Test email subject",
emailBlurb: "My email blurb",
templateId: createEntitlementTemplateId,
templateRoles: [
{
email: "anemailaddress#gmail.com",
name: "Recipient Name",
roleName: "Signer1",
clientUserId: "1099", // TODO: replace with the user's id
tabs : {
textTabs : [
{
tabLabel : "acct_nmbr",
value : "123456"
},
{
tabLabel : "hm_phn_nmbr",
value : "8005882300"
},
{
tabLabel : "nm",
value : "Mr Foo Bar"
}
]
}
}
]
})
};
console.log("--------> options: ", options); // REMOVE THIS ====
AppServer.Wreck.post(getEnvelopeUrl, options, function(err, res, body) {
console.log("Request Envelope Result: \r\n", JSON.parse(body));
next(null, body, baseUrl);
});
}
And what I get back is:
{ errorCode: 'UNSPECIFIED_ERROR',
message: 'Non-static method requires a target.' }
From a little googling it look like 'Non-static method requires a target.' is a C# error and doesn't really give me much indication of what part of my configuration object is wrong.
I've tried a simpler version of this call stripping out all of the tabs and clientUserId and I get the same response.
I created my template on the Docusign website and I haven't ruled out that something is set up incorrectly there. I created a template, confirmed that Docusign noticed the named form fields, and created a 'placeholder' templateRole.
Here's the templateRole placeholder:
Here's one of the named fields that I want to populate and corresponding data label:
As a side note, I was able to get the basic vanilla example working without named fields nor using a template using the docusign node package just fine but I didn't see any way to use tabs with named form fields with the library and decided that I'd rather have more fine-grained control over what I'm doing anyway and so I opted for just hitting the APIs.
Surprisingly when I search SO for the errorCode and message I'm getting I could only find one post without a resolution :/
Of course any help will be greatly appreciated. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need any additional information.
Once I received feedback from Docusign that my api call had an empty body it didn't take but a couple minutes for me to realize that the issue was my options object containing a body property rather than a payload property, as is done in the hapi framework.
