This is the variable on the index.js: /* a unique referral code the user can share */ let referral_code = shortid.generate();
I just want to the pull it onto the index.ejs page like $({referrer_code}) or whatever would be appropriate to then get the variable from the index.js page. I'm just having trouble with the simple task of passing the referrer_code variable into the express web page template.
A bit new to React and js and could use some guidance.
Please help me pull my basic js variable into the ejs express theme page.
All I want to do is take the variable called referral_code and place it on the page as visible html text.
The variable I'm trying to display directly in html form on the theme can be seen on the index.js page, where it says:
"let referral_code = shortid.generate();"
Here's the full index page:
var router = express.Router();
var mysql = require('mysql');
var shortid = require('shortid');
/* New POST route for form submissions */
router.post('/', function(req, res, next) {
/* establish mysql connection */
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
host: process.env.DB_HOST,
user: process.env.DB_USER,
password: process.env.DB_PASS,
database: process.env.DB_NAME
});
/* user's email address */
let email = req.body.email;
/* a unique referral code the user can share */
let referral_code = shortid.generate();
/* the referral code a user submitted (might be null) */
let referrer = req.body.referrer;
/* add user to the database with INSERT */
let query = "INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `referral_code`, `referrer`) VALUES (?, ?, ?)";
connection.query(query, [email, referral_code, referrer], (err, rows) => {
connection.end(function() {
if (err) return next();
return res.send({referralCode: referral_code});
});
});
});
/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('index');
});
module.exports = router;
Here's the theme page I'm trying to update. You can see in the code where I added: {referral_code} and that is where I wnat to display the referral_code.

Thanks for taking a look to help me solve this!
I am trying to get a user entered amount from my checkout.html file ( below ) so that I can use it in the Stripe code on the server.js node server.
I wasn't able to get the amount field from the form to work so I disabled it and am working with console.log and variables. I was trying to make it work with a global variable passing the value.
These 2 files from the example on the Stripe website ( you select 'node' and 'html' from the page, and click 'prebuilt' also )
https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/integration-builder
My alterations
( sorry the var assignments numbers are all just random for testing )
**server.js**
( lines 8-9 )
var test = 2242;
// console.log( amountglobal);
( line 22 )
unit_amount: test,
**checkout.html** (line 47 )
amountglobal = 67865555;
My issue is that if I uncomment line 9 ( with the aim of trying to use the amountglobal gloabal var in line 22 ) then for some reason the server wont start, saying amountglobal is not defined ... so I possibly have the global variable wrong in checkout.html, it's
amountglobal = 67865555;
... and maybe there's a better way of doing this in the first place, I understand global variables are not the ideal usually.
The end result here is to be a payment form where the user can type in their own ( previously agreed) price.
Thanks.

You need to POST the data from your client side code to your server side code, and then use a JSON body parser with Express so that it ends up in the server-side request.
I am not too familiar with the jade template language, but quite familiar with handle bars. I need to use hbs because my project is based on hbs.
I have the following the braintree payment for nodejs express, and their view was based on jade.
https://github.com/braintree/braintree_express_example/blob/master/views/checkouts/new.jade
form#payment-form(action="/checkouts", method="post")
section
.bt-drop-in-wrapper
#bt-dropin
label(for="amount")
span.input-label Amount
.input-wrapper.amount-wrapper
input#amount(name="amount" type="tel" min="1" placeholder="Amount" value="10")
button.button(type="submit")
span Test Transaction
script(src="https://js.braintreegateway.com/js/braintree-2.27.0.min.js")
script.
(function () {
var checkout = new Demo({
formID: 'payment-form'
});
var token = "#{clientToken}";
braintree.setup(token, "dropin", {
container: "bt-dropin"
});
Below is my router
router.post('/', parseUrlEnconded, function (request, response) {
var transaction = request.body;
gateway.transaction.sale({
amount: 7,
paymentMethodNonce: transaction.payment_method_nonce
}, function (err, result) {
if (err) throw err;
if (result.success) {
[...]
I essentially want the payment form to be shown in view, and the payment_method_nonce value submitted to the server
Use jade-to-handlebars, which is a nodejs module to do exactly what you ask.
I have a .ejs file, which is actually a drop down form, that fills data using sqlite3 database. Now what i want to do is, when i select a value from dropdown, i want to send it back to my javascript file, where i'd save it to database.
Normally this wasn't hard on a select statement which i made on my own, but as this select statement gets filled from javascript, the value that sends back is undefined, don't know why.
To sum up on example:
I have a user that is logged in, and has option to save a workout on a dropdown.
Workout table
ID: 5
Name: Biceps
Result
Exercise
ID:1
Name: Biceps
Workout-ID: 5
My code
Javascript to .ejs
var Workout = bookshelf.Model.extend({
tableName: 'workout'
});
var Exercise = bookshelf.Model.extend({
tableName: 'exercise',
workout: function()
{
return this.hasMany(Workout)
}
});
router.get('/', function (req, res) {
new Vaje().fetchAll().then(function (workout) {
res.render('Exercise', { workout: workout });
}).catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
});
This sends all of the data from workout table into select form on .ejs
.ejs file
<h2>Select workout</h2>
<select>
<% workout.forEach(function(w) { %>
<option id=""
<%=w.attributes.id%>">
<%= w.attributes.name %>
</option>
<% }); %>
</select>
<br></br>
<form method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Add workout" />
</form>
javascript file
This file should now get selected value and save it to database...
router.post('/', function (req, res) {
var new_workout = req.body;
console.log("Workout: " + JSON.stringify(new_workout));
new Exercise().save(new_workout);
});
Result from console
I have no idea why the value is undefined/empty, but i would sure as hell like to find out.
Any help will be much appreciated!
UPDATE
UPDATE2
SOLUTION
router.post('/', function (req, res) {
new Vaje({ 'id': parseInt(req.body.naziv) })
.fetch()
.then(function (new_workout) {
if (new_workout != null)
new Trening().save({
vaje_id: new_workout.get("id"),
naziv: new_workout.get("naziv")
});
});
});
The issue is your ejs file. You have Select out of your Form.
<h2>Select workout</h2>
<form method="post">
<select name="workout">
<% workout.forEach(function(w) { %>
<option value="<%=w.attributes.id%>">
<%= w.attributes.name %>
</option>
<% }); %>
</select>
<br></br>
<input type="submit" value="Add workout" />
</form>
Edit 1
Did you add to your application (for express 3).
app.use(express.bodyParser());
Its required to process post body.
Edit 2 - solution for Express v.4
first you need to install additional package
npm install body-parser --save
later edit your app:
var express = require('express'); // <- this is your code
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = express(); // <- this is your code
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
// and now app listen
app.listen(8888); // <- your port here
Edit 3
How to get Name & id. It will be something like this.
router.post('/', function (req, res) {
new Workout({'id': parseInt(req.body.workout)})
.fetch()
.then(function(new_workout) {
if(new_workout != null)
new Exercise().save({
vaje_id: new_workout.get("id"),
name: new_workout.get("name")
});
});
});
I'm creating a MEAN stack app and I've been using the book 'Mean Web Development' by Amos Q. Haviv to help me along. I've run into a problem where I have a form that is suppose to submit a recipe, but when I check the database the entry is there with an id, date and author but no title, mainImage, content, category or tags. I've been trying to figure it out on my own for the past couple of days and going over the book again to see if I made any mistakes, but no luck.
Here is my model:
// Load the module dependencies
var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
paginator = require('mongoose-paginator'),
Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var CommentsSchema = new Schema({
commentor: String,
data: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now()
},
content: {
type: String,
default: ' ',
trim: true,
required: "Enter a comment into the comment box"
},
agree: Number,
disagree: Number
});
function toLower(lowerText) {
return lowerText.toLowerCase();
}
var TagsSchema = new Schema({
tags: {
type: String,
set: toLower
}
});
var RecipeSchema = new Schema({
created: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now()
},
author: {
type: Schema.ObjectId,
ref: 'User'
},
title: {
type: String,
default: ' ',
trim: true,
required: 'Title cannot be blank'
},
mainImage: {
type: String,
default: ' ',
trim: true
},
content: {
type: String,
default: ' ',
trim: true,
required: "Please enter recipe"
},
likes: Number,
faves: Number,
category: {
type: String,
set: toLower
},
tags: [TagsSchema],
comments: [CommentsSchema]
});
// Use paginator
RecipeSchema.plugin(paginator, {
limit: 20,
defaultKey: '_id',
direction: 1
});
mongoose.model('Recipe', RecipeSchema);
Here is my controller
// Load the module dependencies

Thanks for the suggestions, mcpDESIGNS. I tried of your suggestions, but still no luck. When I submit it goes through successfully like before, but still when I look at the database it's still empty with the exception of id, author and date. I don't know I'm implementing your suggestion correctly or not.
The first suggestion -
<section ng-controller="RecipesController">
<div class="full-width-container">
<div class="create-recipe">
<div class="content">
<form ng-submit="create(recipe)" novalidate>
<h1>Create A New Recipe</h1>
<label>Title</label>
<div>
<input type="text" ng-model"recipe.title" placeholder="Title" id="title" required />
</div>
<label>Main Image</label>
<div>
<input type="text" ng-model"recipe.mainImage" placeholder="Enter image url" id="mainImage" />
</div>
<label>Recipe</label>
<div>
<textarea ng-model"recipe.content" placeholder="Enter Recipe" id="content"></textarea>
</div>
<label>Category</label>
<div>
<input type="text" ng-model"recipe.category" placeholder="Available categories (Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner)" id="category"/>
</div>
<label>Tags</label>
<div>
<input type="text" ng-model"recipe.tags" placeholder="Seperate tags by a comma" id="tags"/>
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="form-submit" />
</div>
<div ng-show="error">
<strong ng-bind="error"></strong>

</form>
</div>
</div>

Here is my recipes.server.routes.js
var users = require('../../app/controllers/users.server.controller'),
recipes = require('../../app/controllers/recipes.server.controller');
var needsRole = function(role) {
return function(req, res, next) {
if (req.user && req.user.role === role)
next();
else
res.status(401, 'Unauthorized');
};
};
// Deine the routes 'module' method
module.exports = function(app) {
// Setting the 'recipes' base routes
app.route('/api/recipes')
.get(recipes.list)
.post(users.requiresLogin, needsRole("admin"), recipes.create);
// Set up the 'recipes' parameterized routes
app.route('/api/recipes/:recipeId')
.get(recipes.read)
.put(users.requiresLogin, recipes.hasAuthorization, recipes.update)
.delete(users.requiresLogin, recipes.hasAuthorization, recipes.delete);
// Set up the 'recipeId' parameter middleware
app.param('recipeId', recipes.recipeByID);
};
So from what I can see, the problem is in your $scope.create function.
In your function, you're creating your object that you want to send to the database, but the big problem is: this. Since you're creating a resource there, the this might be referring to something totally different, not your $scope.
You have 2 options, either change them all to:
title : $scope.title,
mainImage : $scope.mainImage,
// etc
Or:
Try simply creating an object in your View of that entire form. For example:
<input ng-model="recipe.title" />
<input ng-model="reciple.mainImage" />
// etc
This way you can just pass the entire object to your ng-submit create(recipe).
When you're in the controller you can then access each property of that object with recipe., much easier. You could even pass that entire thing to your resource and let it map itself. new Recipe(recipe); for example.
