I am currently new to Meteor and Angular2 and I built an application with same.
I want to make External API call inside Meteor Server using Meteor HTTP Module.
Could you please give an example code in "Typescript" how to do this? Thanks in advance.
Use HTTP.call() for external invoking API. You can call both Get and post requests with this. See the documentation link for details.
Here is a simple example
HTTP.call('POST', 'http://api.twitter.com/xyz', {
data: { some: 'json', stuff: 1 }
}, () => (error, result) {
if (!error) {
Session.set('twizzled', true);
}
});

From the documentation, it says it is possible to create a custom web hook using the REST API, but no explanation has been provided.
My question is, has anyone ever created a custom web hook that did not send an error when setting up?
In my case I am trying to create a web hook that is triggered whenever a new product category is created:
const data = {
name: "Category created",
topic: "category.created",
delivery_url: "http://requestb.in/1g0sxmo1"
};
WooCommerce.post("webhooks", data)
.then((response) => {
console.log(response.data);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error.response.data);
});
This request gives me an error. Other solutions exist but not using the REST API.
Here is the scenario:
I'm logging to my application by visiting app.domain/login (example) which will redirect me to something like another.app.domain/
This is working fine. But when I logout: cy.contains('logout').click(), I am getting
CypressError: Timed out after waiting '60000ms' for your remote page to load.
Any suggestions to get around this issue? Ps: I just started to learn Cypress and I want to logout mainly because I want to restore the state back.. I don't want my environment to be updated/modified with the automation scripts. Thanks in advance.
First of all, in cypress there is no AfterAll hook, so we have to use more handmade solution. Second think: if you want to use cypress instead of curl to clean up after test is ok (but I recommend us curl ;)).
First you need to add line to scripts section in package.json:
{
"scripts": {
"after-cypress": "cypress run --spec cypress/hooks/after-all.js",
}
}
File cypress/hooks/after-all.js should looks like this:
describe('clean up after test', () => {
before(() => {
cy.login() // Should we save auth token here?
});
it('', () => {
cy
.request()
.request()
.request() // each of request should delete created during test data
});
});
After reading the Cypress documentation on web security and when to disable it, I've decided I indeed need to do it. Is there a way to disable this just for one particular test/test suite? I'm using version 3.4.1 and this config is being set in cypress.json - therefore it's global for all tests.
Is there a way to disable web security just for one test? Thanks!
Original answer:
Does this work for you?
describe("test the config json", function () {
it("use web security false here", function () {
Cypress.config('chromeWebSecurity',false);
cy.visit("https://www.google.com");
console.log(Cypress.config('chromeWebSecurity'));
});
it("use web security true here", function () {
Cypress.config('chromeWebSecurity',true);
cy.visit("https://www.google.com");
console.log(Cypress.config('chromeWebSecurity'));
});
});
The config is changed as you can see from the console log.
See document here https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/configuration.html#Cypress-config
Updates:
After I saw DurkoMatKo's comment I managed to find an URL to test this 'chromeWebSecurity' option. It did not work as expected.
I think changing this config might not work during running the same browser as this is more like a browser feature which will determine when start.
In this case what I can think of is only to run Cypress with different configurations.
The cypress doc here shows clear steps to do this.
hope this helps.
In my case it worked as follows.
the first thing was to set chromeWebSecurity to false
//cypress.json
{
"chromeWebSecurity": false
}
Then what I do is with a before assign it to true with Cypress.config
//cypress/integration/testing.spec.js
context('DEMO-01', () => {
beforeEach(function () {
Cypress.config('chromeWebSecurity', true);
});
describe('CP001 - start dasboard', () => {
it('P01: open dashboard', () => {
cy.visit(URL);
});
});
});
I want to add a traditional rest endpoint to my Apollo server and I would like to reuse Meteors authentication system. However, Meteor.user() is not defined in this context. The endpoint will not look or ask for user credentials.
createApolloServer( ... , {
configServer: (app) => {
app.use('/myEndpoint', () => {
/* I want to have a meteor userId here */
});
},
});
If you are using Meteor, the best way to make a traditional REST endpoint is:
https://github.com/stubailo/meteor-rest/
simple:json-routes
and you can do authentication with
simple:rest-accounts-password
simple:authenticate-user-by-token
The best way to get Meteor user information in your resolvers is:

For the URL to which a route applies I have a part defined in settings.json, like this
baseUrl: '/private'
My settings are published and accessible through the collections 'Settings' (on the client). So I tried the following:
Meteor.subscribe('settings');
Deps.autorun(function () {
var settings = Settings.findOne():
if (settings) {
Router.map(function () {
this.route('project', {
path: settings.baseUrl + '/:projectId,
controller: 'ProjectController'
});
});
}
});
The problem is that during initialisation the data is not yet on the client available, so I have to wait until the data is present. So far this approach doesn't work (yet). But before spending many hours I was wondering if someone has done this before or can tell me if this is the right approach ?
Updated answer:
I published solution in repository : https://github.com/parhelium/meteor-so-inject-data-to-html
. Test it by opening url : localhost:3000/test
In this case FastRender package is useless as it injects collection data in the end of head tag -> line 63.
Inject-Initial package injects data in the beginning of head tag -> line 106.
Needed packages:
mrt add iron-router
mrt add inject-initial
Source code:
Settings = new Meteor.Collection("settings");
if (Meteor.isClient) {
var settings = Injected.obj('settings');
console.log(settings);
Router.map(function () {
this.route('postShow', {
path: '/'+settings.path,
action: function () {
console.log("dynamic route !");
}
});
});
}
if (Meteor.isServer){
if(Settings.find().count() == 0){
Settings.insert({path:"test",data:"null"});
}
Inject.obj('settings', Settings.findOne());
}
Read about security in the bottom of the page : https://github.com/gadicc/meteor-inject-initial/
OLD ANSWER :
Below solution won't work in this specific case as FastRender injects data in the end of head tag. Because of that Routes are being initialized before injected data is present.
It will work when data from Settings collection will be sent together with html.
You can do that using package FastRender.
Create file server/router.js :
FastRender.onAllRoutes(function(path) {
// don't subscribe if client is downloading resources
if(/(css|js|html|map)/.test(path)) {
return;
}
this.subscribe('settings');
});
Create also publish function:
Meteor.publish('settings', function () {
return Settings.find({});
});
The above code means that if user open any url of your app then client will subscribe to "settings" publication and data will be injected on the server into html and available for client immediately.
I use this approach to be able to connect many different domains to meteor app and accordingly sent proper data.
