I build an api rest by express js simply to post an data in my server .
app.post("/register", function(request, response){
var username = request.body.username;
});
How i can do this with feathersjs ? and how i can call it from my reactjs app ?
Feathers is a drop-in replacement for Express. That means you can replace your const app = express(); with const app = feathers() and everything will work just the same, so what you are showing above you can also do with Feathers.
The real Feathers way to accomplish this however is through services which - with the other important concepts - are described in the basics guide.
There are pre-build services for several databases (which can be customized through hooks) but you can always create your own service. It is important to note that Feathers services - unlike the Express middleware you showed - will be available via HTTP (REST) and websockets (which also gets you real-time events). See here how service methods map to REST endpoints.
Your example in Feathers simply looks like this:
app.use('/register', {
create(data, params) {
// data is the request body e.g.
// data.username
// Always return a promise with the result data
return Promise.resolve(data);
}
});

When I create a new Google Cloud function, the default code given is:
const functions = require('#google-cloud/functions-framework');
functions.http('helloHttp', (req, res) => {
res.send(`Hello ${req.query.name || req.body.name || 'World'}!`);
});
However, in this tutorial, the function is specified as:
exports.validateTemperature = async (req, res) => {
try {
if (req.body.temp < 100) {
res.status(200).send("Temperature OK");
} else {
res.status(200).send("Too hot");
}
} catch (error) {
//return an error
console.log("got error: ", error);
res.status(500).send(error);
}
};
What is the difference between the two? How do they work in the bigger scheme of things?
In the second example, the code is listening for a Http POST request. Where is this specified?
Through the two methods you exposed the result is the same, a HTTP Path is used to receive the Request and Response objects.
Inside the Request object, you may find the Body (usually filled in POST & PUT requests but not limited to) and the Method (GET, POST, PUT, etc).
Therefore, your Cloud Function code will be used with both a GET and a POST call in either solution.
Functions Framework
Functions Framework turns a Cloud Functions snippet into a workable server. It's kind of like register a handler function to an express router, and run the express app behind the scenes.
The main use case is local development and migrant to App Engine or other services. They both need to start a HTTP server, and functions framework does that.
Express
Node.js runtime explains your code snippet using Express framework.
The validateTemperature accepts all HTTP methods.
We often filter HTTP methods by a router. Although you can do it in with req.method. And router, web server level is what you don't want to reapeat again and again.
If you want to split requests by method when buiding an API service, you could consider let Cloud Endpoints or some API Gateway stands before your functions.
I need do some internal work in feathersjs app. I need something like mytask.js file, that will have access into app services and do something operations with data. Task will start from command line:
node mytask.js
How I can implement this?
The Feathers app in a generated application and be required like any other module through the src/app.js file. In mytask.js:
const app = require('./app'); // adjust path
// Top level wrapper to use async/await
(async () => {
const messages = await app.service('messages').find();
})();
In some cases you might want to call app.setup() e.g. when using Sequelize (example here).
I'm new to using Svelte and would like to create a ordering website using Svelte. I know that I will need a database to keep track of the order, customer name, price etc. I have used MySQL before but I haven't learned how to connect a database to a website.
Is there a specific database that you can use if you are using Svelte?
Or is there a way to connect MySQL to Svelte?
I have searched about this on Youtube and Google but I'm not sure if it's different if you are using Svelte so I wanted to make sure.
Note: I have not started this project yet so I do not have any code to show I just want to know how you can connect a database if you're using Svelte.
Svelte is a front end javascript framework that run on the browser.
Traditionally, in order to use databases like mysql from a front end project such as svelte, (that contains only html,css and js), you would have to do it with a separate backend project. You can then communicate the svelte app and the backend project with the help of REST api. The same applies to other other front end libraries/frameworks like react, angular vue etc.
There are still so many ways to achieve the result. Since you are focusing on Svelte here are few things options
1 Sapper
Sapper is an application framework powered by svelte. You can also write backend code using express or polka so that you can connect to database of your choice (mysql / mongodb)
2 User Server less database
If you want you app simple and just focus on svelte app, you can use cloud based databases such as firebase. Svelte can directly talk to them via their javascript SDK.
3 monolithic architecture
To connect with mysql in the backend, you would need to use one serverside application programming language such as nodejs (express) php or python or whatever you are familiar with. Then use can embed svelte app or use api to pass data to the svelte app.
I can make an example with mongodb
You have to install the library
npm install mongodb
or add in package.json
Then you have to make a connection file that you have to call everytime you need to use the db
const mongo = require("mongodb");
let client = null;
let db = null;
export async function init() {
if(!client) {
client = await mongo.MongoClient.connect("mongodb://localhost");
db = client.db("name-of-your-db");
}
return { client, db }
}
for a complete example with insert you can see this video

You can use pouchdb, which gives you direct access to the indexedDB in the browser. No backend needed for this.
The client-pouchdb can then be replicated/synced with a remote couchdb. This can all be done inside you svelte-app from the client-side.
It is pretty easy to setup.
var db = new PouchDB('dbname');
db.put({
_id: 'dave#gmail.com',
name: 'David',
age: 69
});
db.changes().on('change', function() {
console.log('Ch-Ch-Changes');
});
db.replicate.to('http://example.com/mydb');

Also the client can save the data offline first and later connect to a remote database.
As i get question mostly about connection to backend, not a database. It is pity, but svelte app template has no way to connect backend "in box".
What about me, i'm using express middleware in front of rollup server. In this case you able to proxy some requests to backend server. Check code below
const proxy = require('express-http-proxy');
const app = require('express')();
app.use('/data/', proxy(
'http://backend/data',
{
proxyReqPathResolver: req => {
return '/data'+ req.url;
}
}
)
);
app.use('/', proxy('http://127.0.0.1:5000'));
app.listen(5001);
This script opend 5001 port where you have /data/ url proxied to backend server. And 5000 port still available from rollup server. So at http://localhost:5001/ you have svelte intance, connected to backend vi /data/ url, here you can send requests for fetching some data from database.
We have been directly using U2F on our auth web app with the hostname as our app ID (https://auth.company.com) and that's working fine. However, we'd like to be able to authenticate with the auth server from other apps (and hostnames, e.g. https://customer.app.com) that communicate with the auth server via HTTP API.
I can generate the sign requests and what-not through API calls and return them to the client apps, but it fails server-side (auth server) because the app ID doesn't validate (clients are using their own hostnames as app ID). This is understandable, but how should I handle this? I've read about facets but I cannot get it to work at all.
The client app JS is like:
var registerRequests = // ...
var signRequests = // ...
u2f.register('http://localhost:3000/facets', registerRequests, signRequests, function(registerResponse) {
if (registerResponse.errorCode) {
return alert("Registration error: " + registerResponse.errorCode);
}
// etc.
});
This gives me an Error code 5 (timeout error) after a while. I don't see any request to /facets . Is there a way around this or am I barking up the wrong tree (or a different forest)?

Okay, so after a few hours of researching this; I'm pretty sure this fiendish bit of the Firefox U2F plugin is the source of some of my woes:
if (u.scheme == "http")
if (url2str(u, true) == url2str(ou, true))
return resolve(challenge);
else
return reject("Not matching appID");
https://github.com/prefiks/u2f4moz/blob/master/ext/appIdValidator.js#L106-L110
It's essentially saying, if the appID's scheme is http, only allow it if it's exactly the same as the page's host (it goes on to do the behaviour for fetching the trusted facets JSON but only for https).
Still not sure if I'm on the right track though in how I'm trying to design this.
I didn't need to worry about facets for my particular situation. In the end I just pass the client app hostname through to the Auth server via the secure API interface and it uses that as the App ID. Seems to work okay so far.
The issue I was having with facets was due to using http in dev and the Firefox U2F plugin not permitting that with JSON facets.
I have a dynamic website. It uses mysql database which is provided by the hosting team. I need my android app to use the same database. How could I integrate the same.?
An Ajax request in Cordova/Phonegap is the same as using the standard jQuery:
For retrieving data I used in my app [minimalist code]:
$.getJSON(url).done(function (jsonData) {
console.debug('retrieved JSON');
// process your data here
}).fail(function () {
console.debug('cannot retrieve remote URL');
// error occurred
});
