POST from Ruby to Meteor with Iron Router? - ruby

I've been trying to get a message from a Ruby script to a webapp built with MeteorJS using POST, but I've been facing some issues. There isn't much documentation online about POST and GET method management with Iron Router.
My Ruby script:
meteorUri = URI('http://localhost:3000/newReport');
res = Net::HTTP.post_form(meteorUri, 'message' => 'HelloFromRuby', 'max' => '50')
puts "From Meteor:\t#{res}"
I don't have much experience with Ruby. The above code I got mostly online.
The routing with Iron Router:
Router.route('/newReport/:message', {where: 'server'})
.post( function(message){
Meteor.call('reportInsert', {message: message}, function(error, recordId){
if (error){
alert(error.reason);
} else {
console.log("Inserted " + recordId);
}
});
});
I am trying to make Ruby make a post to http://localhost:3000/newReportwith a message that is supposed to be a string.
The function reportInsert works, I tested it. The issue seems to be in either making the POST, or receiving it.
Thank you!

Beside using an alert in a server side route, I don't see any issues on Meteor's side. Might want to change it to console.log to see what error are you getting.

Laravel Sanctum Vue.js - How to check if session is expired

I'm starting up a learning project with Laravel, VueJS. I'm using Sanctum cookie based.
I have got the authentication working with the help of several tutorials, but none of the tutorials covers the piece of checking if your session is expired or not. The tutorials that where covering it where using LocalStorage, and what I red about is that you should avoid LocalStorage.
I'm looking for a simple possibility to check if a user is still authenticated and if not, then redirect them to the login page, or even better, show a modal to login and go further where they are.
22 jan 2021 Still haven't got he answer :(
I'm fairly new to VueJS, Vuex and so on :)
Thanks for the help !
Try this, its what I've been using so far. Its not very ideal but works out fine so far until I can make it better.
Put this in App.vue created method
// each call needs csrf token to work, so we call this on app load once.
axios.get(axios.rootURL + '/sanctum/csrf-cookie').catch(() => {
alert('Something went wrong, Contact admin <br> ErrorCode: csrf')
})
// this part is not necessary, you may adapt as required
// let isLoggedIn = localStorage.getItem('isLoggedIn') ? true : false
// this.setIsLoggedIn(isLoggedIn)
axios.interceptors.request.use(
config => {
return config
},
error => {
return Promise.reject(error)
}
)
// this is the actual part you need, here we check on each call
// if we get error 401 which is unauthenticated we redirect to login. That's it
axios.interceptors.response.use(
response => {
return response
},
error => {
if (error.response.status === 401) {
this.$router.push({ name: 'login' })
localStorage.removeItem('isLoggedIn')
this.setIsLoggedIn(false)
}
return Promise.reject(error)
}
)

How to get more error information from an Angular http ajax call

I have been trying to diagnose a http problem for what seems forever now.
I thought I would go back to a very simple sample Ionic (Angular) application I can use to test, where I have the following test code...
public onClick() : void {
this.http.get(this.url).subscribe(res => {
this.result = res.statusText;
console.log(res);
}, error => {
this.result = `failed ${error.statusText}`;
console.log(error);
});
}
The url just comes from an input.
If I force an error, (eg put an incorrect url), I notice the error from the observable always has a status os 0, and no statusText. In the browser network tab, I see the 404 as expected...
identityx 404 xhr polyfills.js:3 160 B 10 ms
Is there a way to get better error information back from the http call, rather than just 0 all the time (and no status text)? I've look through the error object, but can't see anything.
Thanks in advance!

Can't make ajax POST calls with an express site running on Heroku

I've recently deployed an express app to heroku which was working fine locally. Now, on heroku, the parts where I make ajax post call are breaking with 500 Internal Server Errors.
In my JS my POST call looks like this:
$.post('/api/', {
'input': 'input'
}, function(data) {
if (!data) {
return console.log('success');
} else {
return console.log('failed');
}
});
And it's treated by express like this (I'm abstracting here):
app.route('/api/')
.post(function (req, res) {
var input = req.body.input;
x.doSomething(input,function (err,data) {
res.send(err);
}
});
After some googling I suspected it might have to do with Access-Control so I added some code to my express app which enabled Access-Control-Origin from everywhere. This stopped the 500 errors and instead caused the post to hang and then timeout after 30 seconds.
I assume this is something to do with Heroku because it's all working fine locally. Any suggestions would be super helpful.
** EDIT **
I've done some more digging and it turns out it's the line var = req.body.input that's causing all the trouble. If I remove this, I don't the 500 error. Another clue, is that in the breakdown of the 500 error, it seems there's some kind of crossDomain sending going on - jquery states in the first line of the error: l.cors.a.crossDomain.send. So something's clearly amiss here and I'm pretty sure it's not to do with the way I've written the ajax call...

Meteor.http.call Client-side Results Undefined

Consuming Mashape Airbnb API:
The following sits inside the Clients->airbnb.js file.
My Results are undefined. But using the same API, http://jsfiddle.net/ismaelc/FZ5vG/
works just fine.
function getListings(place) {
alert(place);
Meteor.http.call("GET", "https://airbnb.p.mashape.com/s",
{params : {location:place},
headers : {"X-Mashape-Authorization":"ffnGO1suGtJEjqgz4n7ykeuCbDP1hexv"}},
function (error, result) {
$('#listings').html(EJSON.stringify(result.data));
console.log("Status: "+result.statusCode);
console.log("Content: "+result.statusCode);
console.log("data: "+EJSON.stringify(result.data));
console.log("error: "+error.message);
}
);
}
Template.where.events ({
'click #find': function(event){
var place = $('#location').val();
getListings(place);
}
});
My Google Chrome Web Developers Tool is giving me odd HTTP Response.
IMG: Here http://imgur.com/f5u2C7X
Also, I momentarily see my console.log and then it just disappears. Why is this?
You can use the network tab in the chrome dev kit, make sure its already open before you do the request and it should just add on and you can view its text content to find where its all going wrong.
The response tab should have the text it gets back:
Of note is just check your api you might need to use params (HTTP POST params) instead of data (JSON post in the body), e.g {params : {location:place}.

.ajax posts and gets response on local server, no response on web host

I'm using an ajax call to do a minor calculation then return the value and display it in the page same page where the form is submitted. In Firebug it says it calls the function, however doesn't get a response. (I have a similar form that writes to a database that works fine, seemingly because it doesn't need a response - firebug says it fails to get a response on that script as well.) The odd thing is that I wrote this on my local server before implementing it on the site and everything worked as planned. I'm using Code Igniter on both the local server and the web server, but I don't know if that has something to do with it. Anyways, any help would be great. I'm marginally new so this is kinda outta my realm at this moment.
Thanks
EDIT: .js
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit').click(function(){
var formdata = {
years: $('#years').val(),
rate: $('#rate').val(),
principle: $('#principle').val(),
periods: $('#periods').val(),
continuous: $('#continuous').val()
}
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost:8888/CodeIgniter_1.7.2/index.php/timevalueshow/submit",
type: 'POST',
data: formdata,
success: function(data){
$('#replace').replaceWith('<p>'+data+'</p>');
}
});
return false;
});
});
php submit function
function submit(){
$years = $this->input->post('years');
$rate = $this->input->post('rate');
$principle = $this->input->post('principle');
$periods = $this->input->post('periods');
$isCont = $this->input->post('continuous');
$params = array(
'years' => $years,
'rate' => $rate,
'principle' => $principle,
'periods' => $periods,
'isCont' => $isCont
);
$this->load->library('timevalue', $params);
return $this->timevalue->FVFactor();
}
Could it be that the request is being made cross-domain? Remember that mydomain.com is considered a different domain to www.mydomain.com.
I ran into a similar situation recently. I requested a page from mydomain.com which made an AJAX request to a script on www.mydomain.com. The request was not made because it was considered cross-domain. It had the same symptoms that you describe. In Firebug and Chrome Developer Console I saw an empty response and no error message.
The problem is that CodeIgniter generates absolute URLs based on the $config['base_url'] setting. If you access the site using a different domain name to what is configured in $config['base_url'] you can run into this type of problem.
This works on the dev and not on the server because you are calling localhost!
// this will have the client call itself on this particular page (wont work)
url: "http://localhost:8888/CodeIgniter_1.7.2/index.php/timevalueshow/submit",
The above code should be just:
// this is relative to the document ROOT, will work on server but not on dev!
// you can set it relative to the calling page using ../ as needed
url: "/index.php/timevalueshow/submit",
