How does restangular talk to MySQL database - mysql

I am total JS newbie working on a project build in Grail 2.4.4, a web-app. It's a working app, build by a developer whom is not available anymore.
To get it to work locally I had to upgrade it to Grails 3.2.0. I got it almost working in Netbeans. But I got stuck at getting the data from the MySQL database.
The Chrome inspector says:
angular.min.js GET http://localhost:8080/<app>/currency/allCurrencies 404 ()
The controllers are written in Restangular which call the above URL.
What am I missing?

Firstly, Restangular is an Angular library which simplifies and standardizes making calls to a REST backend (which in your case is a Grails app). So, Restangular does not directly retrieve data from your a database, it invokes a web service which (in some cases) may retrieve data from a database.
In your case, Restangular is attempting to retrieve data from the endpoint http://localhost:8080/<app>/currency/allCurrencies but you are getting a 404 response, indicating that there is no endpoint mapped to this URL.

HTTP REST helps you connect to the API easily. Restangular can handle that by sending standard methods [Get, Post, Delete, Put] to the api like what you see.
This mean StudentController > Get()
localhost:2045/api/student
This mean StudentController > Get(Guid id)
localhost:2045/api/student/8ae37cfa-905b-4c71-ad03-bf416d93bdf8
This mean StudentController > POST(Guid id) ... if you send Post method to the API, it will detect it, this work also on put method
localhost:2045/api/student
use this module to get easily rest api.

Spring boot custom server

I started using SpringBoot and like it a lot. I see that #RestController automatically serializes POJOs to json. I like that functioonality, but would like to use it outside of a web server context.
Basically I'd like to have all the part of SpringBoot until the point where the response is in JSON format, but then I don't want to deliver it via a web server, but rather my own implementation.
Is there an interface I have to implement in order to get SpringBoot to accept non-web-requests and return non-web-responses.
An example to make clear what I want:
Right now I can access localhost:8080/hello and SpringBoot will return "world".
Is there a way to make this work on console. E.g. I enter "hello" on console and press enter and I get "world" delivered to console by SpringBoot.
So instead of a web interface via tomcat I'd like to implement a console interface but with the same SpringBoot functionality.
UPDATE: The console application was probably not the right example. I am looking for a more general approach. So let's say instead of a console interface I want an Arduino to be able to send "hello" to SpringBoot via a serial bluetooth connection and SpringBoot should return "world" on that same bluetooth serial connection. My question is, whether there is an interface I need to implement in order to tell SpringBoot how to accept REST requests and how to send responses. And I don't want to focus on a particular implementation (like console or BT serial), but instead, once the SpringBoot application is created, I'd like to just replace the tomcat web interface by a BT serial interface or a console interface or any other interface I want to implement, but keep all of the logic (Controllers, Models etc).
Thanks.
Sure! You can create a console application.
You will need to create a class that implements ConsoleRunner. Please find a tutorial here:
https://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot-console-app
If it is the JSON de/serialization that interests you.
You can use Jackson's ObjectMapper .
You don't need the whole spring-boot web stuff.
You can ommit the starter-web dependency and use CommandLineRunner and jackson to have a console application that de/serializes your responses/requests to json.

Configure ASP.NET MVC to handle JSON

I´m working on an ASP.NET MVC project, that does the following:
Users collect data using an android app, this data is being sent as json. This app is under development by someone else, not me, but we´re in contact.
I created a JSONController with the following action:
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult PutJSON(JSONModel json){
// do something
}
My JSONModel only contains a public string LastName for testing purposes.
For now, I can only publish the project to IIS on localhost, which can be accessed from other devices in my home network. As far as I know, that should be okay for testing, right? The project is accessible and works when entering the ip of that machine in a browser on another device in network.
Is there anything else I need to do in my ASP.NET MVC project to make it accept AJAX calls from "outside"? Am I missing something?
I tried to test with a simple AJAX call from another device, but that´s just giving me internal server errors, because of cross domain call. Accepting those cross domain calls didn´t work though (do I need this when the project is finally being published?)
I´d be very thankful if someone could help, maybe by providing a link to a tutorial explaining how to configure ASP.NET project to accept AJAX calls from the internet.
Please take a look in the following question:
How to pass JSON POST data to Web API method as object
How to receive JSON data on WebAPI backend C#?
How to receive JSON as an MVC 5 action method parameter

Hope these will help you.

call json web api nopcommerce

Hi I am new for nopcommerce 3.5. I need to write a restful web service api to third party(for eg mobile) access the service. I know that we can access through Nop.Plugin.Misc.WebServices . I had enable the service from administrator site.
But now is my question. How can i call the web service for eg GetPaymentMethod , product list and etc
And if I want to write my custom web service by using web api. what is step to create? I cant find any documentation about the web service. Please guide me some example
Thanks
If you want a really quick start in writing a web service in NopCommerce, you can follow the MVC architecture and:
Create an Action method inside a Controller that you find appropriate for your purpose. For example, if you want access to a product list, you might create an Action inside CatalogController that follows the logic of the existing ProductList action.
Set up a Route in RouteProvider.cs to point to the Action you created. Based on this route you can deduce the URL of your service.
Do the processing that you need inside the Action. If this Action/service is to be called with parameters (in query string format: param=value&param2=value2), you can just put these parameters in the Action's header:
public ActionResult QuickService(int param, string param2) { ... and .NET will take care of having them initialized.
Store results in an object (can also be an anonymous object) and at the end of your action, return it as Json: return Json(resultsObject); Again, ASP.NET takes care of the JSON serialization and automatically sets the Content-Type HTTP response header to "application/json".
You can consume the service calling the URL that corresponds to the route of your Action.
If you want users to be able to log in, by using the above method, it gets a little bit trickier. You need the webservice client to be able to accept and send cookies, as well as make appropriate services for Login, Logout, Register,...
However, in this case, you might be better off with a mobile version of the site.
Final note: If you don't want to alter base NopCommerce code, you can apply the steps above to a plugin. The majority of NopCommerce plugins follow the MVC architecture, so you can apply the steps above.

Use oAuth token with Azure MobileServiceClient.login()

I am using the native Facebook SDK (through an opensource tool called 'SimpleFacebook') to authenticate with Facebook. That part is working great. I find the Microsoft Azure implementation of Facebook authentication to be lacking.
Anyway, the next step is to use the token from this Facebook session and authenticate with MS/Azure. There are two methods like look like they should do the job
public void login(java.lang.String provider,
java.lang.String oAuthToken,
UserAuthenticationCallback callback)
Invokes Windows Azure Mobile Service authentication using a provider-specific oAuth token
Parameters:
provider - The provider used for the authentication process
oAuthToken - The oAuth token used for authentication
callback - Callback to invoke when the authentication process finishes
And another very similar method where the second param is a JSON object of type:
com.google.gson.JsonObject oAuthToken,
Is it just me or is the documentation lacking here? I tried just calling the Facebook session's .getAccessToken() and passing that to the functions and I get an error from Azure:
Caused by: com.microsoft.windowsazure.mobileservices.MobileServiceException: {"code":400,"error":"Error: invalid json"}
at com.microsoft.windowsazure.mobileservices.MobileServiceConnection$1.onNext(MobileServiceConnection.java:115)
How do we know what the correct JSON format is?
Am Using the right token?
More information can be found at:
at this Azure site
I think I have this figured out. Essentially all I had to do was create a JSON object (which is fairly new for me). I tried this earlier but I had imported the wrong JSON class (I had imported org.json.JsonObject or something rather than the com.google.gson.JsonObject).
once I did that I had to figure out what the correct json properties should be. Through a lot of Google searches I found out this is the correct format:
JsonObject jo = new JsonObject();
jo.addProperty("access_token", token);
Then use jo.toString() in the call like:
mClient.login(MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.Facebook, jo.toString(), new UserAuthenticationCallback() {
.....
}
Really not that difficult, but why wouldn't Azure team put this in their docs???
Maybe this is just "obvious" information for a seasoned dev, but it took me a whole evening to figure out.

Angular.js : CORS HttpInterceptor that transforms $http.get into $http.jsonp request transparently

I've been looking into if it's possible to create a web based version of my Chrome Plugin
now that it's relying completely on Trakt.TV's JSON API.
According to angular's documentation, it's possible to intercept HTTP requests at several levels, one is the HTTP Backend itself (mainly used for testing though) and the other is HTTPInterceptor.get
The basic idea is to wrap calls to Trakt.TV's JSONP api through http://json2jsonp.com/ and have them returned transparently to get around cross site scripting restrictions. This would not only be very useful for my own project, but for a lot of other people daeling with the same issues too (therefore i'll release the module after it's done, but I want to do it properly)
The basics should be simple:
Hook the $http.get request at the right level
Overwrite the original request made
Cancel an optional other request already set up
Hook it through $http.jsonp(http://json2jsonp.com/)
Return the original promise's success/fail when done
Questions:
Has anyone built anything like this yet? (Github searches revealed nothing)
Would you suggest using the HTTPBackend or the HTTPInterceptor?
why can't you just use the jsonp helper function?
httpBakend is a mockup service to fake a backend server is not used on live code. http interceptors would do what you want you just need to attach the callback function name to your request if the url contains what ever name you want to filter and then in the response interceptor you have to pass response to the callback function so the json to be evaluated. be aware that interceptors will inspect every request makde by angular which is not very eficien, unless you are only doing calls to the tv service.
like i said before a better approach is to use $http.jsonp function
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#jsonp
a word about interceptors they need to be defined as services and then be passed to HttpProvider during your apps configuration.
