hello
hi
I finally deployed my url shortener microservice app after 15 hours debugging through docker and heroku :cry: :cry: :laughing:
hello
how can i create multiple rotating rectangles in paper.js
here is what I have so far.
// Gets a random point according to the screen size.
function onKeyDown(event) {
var maxPoint = new Point(view.size.width, view.size.height);
var randomPoint = Point.random();
var point = maxPoint * randomPoint;
console.log(point)
// Create a rectangle shaped path with its top left point at
var path = new Path.Rectangle({
point: [point.x, point.y],
size: [75, 75],
strokeColor: 'pink',
strokeWidth:7,
});
}
function onFrame(event) {
path.rotate(3)
}
Hmm..how can I use JSON data from fetch error response which the server returns JSON
Only throwing exception works...I don't know how to access the JSON data
For example, see - http://momozor-url-shortener.herokuapp.com/
enter an invalid HTTP url, and see the console
@momozor are you trying to access the json you sent?
@cmccormack can you send an example of server.js file in the beginning of creation
no
Here was one i had used
the thing is i get confused with the tutorials as many of them have variations
so wanted to check if mine was perfect
@Nirajn2311 never heard of the prt scrn button?
or the built in
snippet tool?
you can use snippet to grab a selection, copy it and paste directly into gitter
Yeah sorry about that 😂😂
one min let me get on pc
@cmccormack It's actually an hp ad
lol
const express = require('express');
const serveStatic = require('serve-static');
const path = require('path');
const app = express();
app.use(serveStatic(path.join(__dirname, 'dist')));
const port = process.env.PORT || 80;
app.listen(port);
@kbaig then HP's in for a loss, coz this one has 4gb ram :laughing:
gross
isn't really anything wrong with that code
ok thx
why not just use
express.static?
Maybe doesn't need all the functionality?
Im kinda new to express
it's built in to express
he's using serve-static instead
but already importing express
...oh
I wasn't paying enough attention lol
lol I mean serve-static is probably fine, just curious
@Nirajn2311 probably don't want to use port 80
This was a code i had copied from somewhere back when i was using it in Oct
my understanding is your server would normally be behind a reverse-proxy or something where the web server would redirect the request to your service
Now i was gonna do something else and so i wanted to check if the code was right
:thumbsup:
Also im using heroku for deployment
ah heroku probably populates the PORT env variable I imagine
@Nirajn2311 I made this hoping I would actually keep it up to date, might be useful https://github.com/cmccormack/react-nodejs-boilerplate
at least the server stuff
Nice and also Im using Vue :laughing:
ignore the react stuff
I have another React boilerplate that I actually am trying to keep up to date
Just need a feedback on this
So I have been mainly working with designing till now, and so i thought of making a recipe site which puts all recipes in the form of a table and if you click on any of the recipes it pops up.
So express is for the server,right?
and which database is better firebase or mongodb?
yeah express is the server/middleware
up to you on the db
whatever floats your boat as they say :)
:thumbsup:
@cmccormack In highschool they taught me mysql, and i havent worked with this side, so which is like easier to learn
firebase seems really easy, although I have only reviewed the docs, never implemented
I've done several with mongodb
only used sql in university
:thumbsup: imma stick with mongodb for now
firebase has a lot of shortcomings (talking about firestore, not RTDB). Queries suck, sorting is limited, there basically is no search support
firebase's firestore DB is more like a limited API backend than an actual full DB. Unless you can warp your requirements around firestore's shortcomings, your better off sticking with a full DB solution like Mongo, or an SQL DB. @Nirajn2311
