I have a route that sends to me many requests over time, that contain data to stored in a model.
So the first request does not contain all the needed data and I need to parse each request every time new information comes and store it.
Actually I have a separate js file which contains the "model" and methods
const request = require('request-promise');
function Conversation(param) {
console.log(param)
this.endpoint ;
this.id = this.getConvId(param);
this.createdOn = Date.now();
this.to = this.getTo(param);
this.from = this.getFrom(param);
this.state = this.getState(param);
this.importance = this.getImportance(param);
this.threadId = this.getT;
this.subject = this.getSubject(param);
this.name=this.getName(param);
}
Conversation.prototype.sendIM =function sendIM(param) {
// method to send message to a user
}
Conversation.prototype.getConvId = function getConvId(param) {
return param.operationId
};
Conversation.prototype.getTo = function getTo(param) {
return param.to
}
Conversation.prototype.getDirection = function getDirection(param) {
return param.direction
}
Conversation.prototype.getState = function getState(param) {
return param.state
}
Conversation.prototype.getOperationId = function getOperationId(param) {
return param.sender[0].events[0]._embedded["service:messagingInvitation"].opertionId
}
Conversation.prototype.getImportance = function getSubject(param) {
return param.importance;
}
Conversation.prototype.getSubject = function getSubject(param) {
return param.sender[0].events[0]._embedded["service:messagingInvitation"].subject
}
Conversation.prototype.getFrom= function getFrom(param) {
return param._embedded["localParticipant"].uri
}
Conversation.prototype.getName= function getName(param) {
return param._embedded["acceptedByParticipant"].name
}
module.exports = Conversation;
In my main app file I create a new conversation object:
var Conversation= require('./Conversation');
app.post('/callback', function (req, res) {
if(req.body.sender.length==0) {
res.status(200).send();
}
if(req.body.sender.length>0) {
const conv = new Conversation(req.body.sender[0].events[0]._embedded['service:messagingInvitation']);
res.status(200).send();
}
})
the method works well when I have to fill the model once, but when I update an item it becomes complicated.
So I would like to know what is the best way to structure my files so that I will be able to add new data to my model over time ?
I'm currently working on a Alexa Skill for my Smart Home.
I created a Lambda function and want to make a http request to a server. but it wont execute any of my anon. functions.
A lambda code example:

/* eslint quote-props: ["error", "consistent"]*/
// There are three sections, Text Strings, Skill Code, and Helper Function(s).

I use the "request" module for my http-request, I think you all know this module.
When I test my function, it gives me NO runtime error!
but the anonymous functions from the MakeRequest call and the request.get call wont execute, and I don't know why.
For Example the console output:
Hallo!,
Asd (very funny.. it gets the params for the request.get.. the bug has to be between the second param(the anon function itself?) in the call and the start of the anon function),
hffggh,
asdww
-the console.logs in the anon. functions doesn't show.
I maybe undestand why the MakeRequest funct. doesn't run -> because the callback from it never came. But why does the request.get not work?? I pasted the necessary parts (the MakeRequest and the helper functions) in a normal node projekt, and it worked!!? -facepalm.... im nearly crying..
My Goal: I want to receive a response from the server.. - thats all. But it just wont go into the function where I can access the response object(s).
(Scroll down to the helper functions)
Please help me out guys, I could really hit my head against the wall.
Reguards
I have two separate files, the first being a component (List.js) that uses the second (APIService.js) to fetch different APIs. To correct fetch, the URL needs to receive global variables. Right now, I am trying to redefine these variables from a function in the APIService file without success. Variables are being redefined in APIService.js just before the API calls comment.
I have two questions:
Why is the global variable naptanId not being redefined?
Would be possible to define and pass these variables from the component?
Pseudo-code
Detects beacon
Redefine naptanId
Component fetch API using recently defined variable
API call is done
Data is passed back to Component
Set states
List.js
componentDidMount() {
// Executes first function
APIService._fetchStopPoint((resp1) => {
console.log("Stoppoint", resp1)
// ... and set the bus state with the first response
this.setState({
bus: resp1
});
// ... based on the response, convert array to string
const lines = (resp1.lines.map((line) => line.name)).toString()
// ... pass lines to sencond function
APIService._fetchArrivalTimes(lines, (resp2) => {
// .. and set the tube state with the second response
this.setState({
isLoading: false,
tube: resp2
});
});
});
}

The simplest approach to handle these global variables (cross different components) is to use AsyncStorage:
let response = await AsyncStorage.getItem('listOfTasks'); //get, in any components
AsyncStorage.setItem('listOfTasks', 'I like to save it.'); //set, in any components
For more performance critical global vars, you can also consider Realm Database (Like CoreData, SQLite in both iOS and Android).
I have a node/express server and I'm trying to get a function from a helper file to my app.js for use. Here is the function in the helper file:
CC.CURRENT.unpack = function(value)
{
var valuesArray = value.split("~");
var valuesArrayLenght = valuesArray.length;
var mask = valuesArray[valuesArrayLenght-1];
var maskInt = parseInt(mask,16);
var unpackedCurrent = {};
var currentField = 0;
for(var property in this.FIELDS)
{
if(this.FIELDS[property] === 0)
{
unpackedCurrent[property] = valuesArray[currentField];
currentField++;
}
else if(maskInt&this.FIELDS[property])
{
//i know this is a hack, for cccagg, future code please don't hate me:(, i did this to avoid
//subscribing to trades as well in order to show the last market
if(property === 'LASTMARKET'){
unpackedCurrent[property] = valuesArray[currentField];
}else{
unpackedCurrent[property] = parseFloat(valuesArray[currentField]);
}
currentField++;
}
}
return unpackedCurrent;
};
At the bottom of that helper file I did a module.export (The helper file is 400 lines long and I don't want to export every function in it):
module.exports = {
unpackMessage: function(value) {
CCC.CURRENT.unpack(value);
}
}
Then in my app.js I called
var helperUtil = require('./helpers/ccc-streamer-utilities.js');
and finally, I called that function in app.js and console.log it:
res = helperUtil.unpackMessage(message);
console.log(res);
The problem is that the console.log gives off an undefined every time, but in this example: https://github.com/cryptoqween/cryptoqween.github.io/tree/master/streamer/current (which is not node.js) it works perfectly. So I think I am importing wrong. All I want to do is use that utility function in my app.js
The unPackMessage(val) call doesn't return anything:
module.exports = {
unpackMessage: function(value) {
CCC.CURRENT.unpack(value);
}
}
you need to return CCC.CURRENT.UNPACK(value);
module.exports = {
unpackMessage: function(value) {
return CCC.CURRENT.unpack(value);
}
}
In my durandal app I need to know if the user is logged in different places. So currently i'm doing a call to get the user state in every views that needs it.
Is possible to do something like this:
//login.js
define(function(require) {
var http = require('durandal/http')
var isLogged;
function getLogin() {
if (isLogged != undefined) return isLogged
return http.get('/api/login').then(function(data) {
isLogged = data.logged
return isLogged
})
}
return {
getLogin: getLogin
}
//view.js
define(function(require) {
var login = require('login')
function vm() {
var self = this;
self.isLogged;
self.activate = function() {
self.isLogged = login.getLogin()
}
}
return vm
})
The above doesn't work because in the view activate method I need to return a promise. How can I achieve that?
You can use guardRouter function!
This will be triggered in all navigation.
// Shell main or other file that runs before any view!
// Define the router guard function!
require('plugin/router', 'Q', function(router, q){
var cache = {};
router.guardRoute = function(instance, instruction) {
var key = instruction.fragment.toLowerCase();
return cache[key] !== undefined ?
cache[key]:
q($.get(url,data)).then(_setCache, _fail);
function _fail(/*jqhxr*/) {
/* do something */
}
function _setCache(result) {
cache[key] = result;
return cache[key];
}
}
});
If you return true, the navigation will proceed! in case of string returned, durandal will navigate into it!
The cache works as you define (check for javascript memoization)
About durandal Auth chech this gitHub for inspiration.
