var function calling for unknown reason - node.js

I have the code below, and it seems to call the var promiseFeedback is called and I don't know why... This means it is called even when an error occurs when I create document. Whereas is should only be called if there is no err in the createDocument.
Is anyone able to clear up why?
if (json) {
createDocument(documentUrl, context, json, function(res){
var promiseFeedback = callFB (context, res);
var collection = `mydb`
client.createDocument(collection, res, (err, result) => {
if(err) {
context.log(err);
return context.done();
} else {
Promise.all([promiseFeedback]).then(function(results){
context.log("promiseFeedback: " + results[0]);
context.done();
});
}
});
});
}
function callFB(context, res) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
var requestUrl = url.parse( URL );
var requestBody = {
"id": res.id
};
var body = JSON.stringify( requestBody );
const requestOptions = {
hostname: requestUrl.hostname,
path: requestUrl.path,
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(body),
}
};
var request = https.request(requestOptions, function(res) {
var data ="";
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
data += chunk
});
res.on('end', function () {
resolve(true);
})
}).on('error', function(error) {
context.log("request error:", error);
resolve(false);
});
request.write(body);
request.end();
});
}

var promiseFeedback = callFB (context, res);
This statement executes callFB immediately, not just assigns another name to the promise. This promise callFB is out of the callback(scope) of err and Promise.all([promiseFeedback]), it runs no matter what the result of client.createDocument is.
To fix this:
Remove var promiseFeedback = callFB (context, res); and change Promise.all([promiseFeedback]) to callFB(context, res). You don't need to use Promise.all as you only have one promise to resolve.
Or you can just move var promiseFeedback = callFB (context, res); into else segment.

Null in request [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How do I return the response from an asynchronous call?
(41 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
In that code, console.log(game) gives me an array, but return(game) gives me null.
I don't know, what should I do to gain that array
takeApi: async (root, args, { req }, info) =>{
let userNick='Izyi';
var request = require('request');
var JsonFind=require('json-find');
var url = 'https://someapi/'+userNick;
var game;
request.get({
url: url,
json: true,
headers: {'API-KEY': 'XXX'}
}, (err, res, data) => {
if (err) {
console.log('Error:', err);
} else if (res.statusCode !== 200) {
console.log('Status:', res.statusCode);
} else {
const doc= JsonFind(data.lifeTimeStats);
var matchesPlayed=(doc.checkKey('7').value);
var wins=(doc.checkKey('8').value);
var kills=(doc.checkKey('10').value);
game ={kills:kills,wins:wins,matchesPlayed:matchesPlayed}
console.log(game);
return(game);
}
})
return(game);
}
request.get works via a callback and is not directly compatible with async/await. That callback happens when the request is done or has errored out. The return(game); then happens before the request has completed.
You need to return a new Promise and then resovle or reject based on the results passed to the callback.
You can then await or .then takeApi and expect to have a value returned.
const takeApi = async(root, args, { req }, info) => {
let userNick = 'Izyi';
var request = require('request');
var JsonFind = require('json-find');
var url = 'https://someapi/' + userNick;
// return a Promise, which will work
// by the called using `await` or `.then`
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
request.get({
url: url,
json: true,
headers: {
'API-KEY': 'XXX'
}
}, (err, res, data) => {
if (err) {
console.log('Error:', err);
// error, reject
reject(err);
} else if (res.statusCode !== 200) {
console.log('Status:', res.statusCode);
// error, reject
reject(res.statusCode);
} else {
const doc = JsonFind(data.lifeTimeStats);
var matchesPlayed = (doc.checkKey('7').value);
var wins = (doc.checkKey('8').value);
var kills = (doc.checkKey('10').value);
const game = {
kills: kills,
wins: wins,
matchesPlayed: matchesPlayed
}
console.log(game);
// success, resolve
resolve(game);
}
})
});
}

how to get the data from http.get

I have created a NodeJS server and created promises for the HTTP.get method and calling the get method function in created server but it showing error options.uri
var http = require('http');
var request = require('request');
var rese = null;
function initialize() {
var options = {
host: 'httpbin.org',
path: '/json',
};
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
request.get(options, function (err, res, body) {
if (err) {
reject(err);
} else {
resolve(JOSN.parse(body));
}
/** res.on("data", function(chunk) {
//console.log("BODY: " + chunk);
result=chunk;
});*/
})
})
}
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
if (req.url == '/my') {
/**result=res.on("data", function(chunk) {
console.log("BODY: " + chunk);
});*/
var initializePromise = initialize();
initializePromise.then(function (res) {
rese = result;
console.log("Initialized user details");
// Use user details from here
console.log(userDetails)
}, function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
//res.end(result);
}
else {
res.end('please find the correct path');
}
}).listen(2000);
error:options.uri is a required argument
Your get method should include uri, The request api get call structure is as follows,
request.get("http://bin.org/json", options, function (err, res, body) {
if (err) {
reject(err);
} else {
resolve(JSON.parse(body));
}
/** res.on("data", function(chunk) {
//console.log("BODY: " + chunk);
result=chunk;
});*/
})
Try to make this changes, it will work

Azure Function ignoring https.request

I have an azure function with this line of code.
var myReq = https.request(options, function(res) {
context.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
context.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
body += res.statusCode
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
context.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
});
});
myReq.on('error', function(e) {
context.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
myReq.write(postData);
myReq.end();
But my code seems to just skip this part of code, with no errors. I am new to Azure and node.js so I might have missed some basic parts in setting this up.
Any ideas?
Edit:
Here is my full code
const https = require('https');
const querystring = require('querystring');
module.exports = async function (context, req) {
if (req.query.accessCode || (req.body && req.body.accessCode)) {
context.log('JavaScript HTTP trigger function processed a request.');
var options = {
host: 'httpbin.org',
port: 80,
path: '/post',
method: 'POST'
};
var postData = querystring.stringify({
client_id : '1234',
client_secret: 'xyz',
code: req.query.accessCode
});
var body = "";
var myReq = https.request(options, function(res) {
context.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
context.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
body += res.statusCode
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
context.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
});
});
myReq.on('error', function(e) {
context.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
myReq.write(postData);
myReq.end();
context.log("help");
context.res = {
status: 200,
body: "Hello " + (body)
};
} else {
context.res = {
status: 400,
body: "Please pass a name on the query string or in the request body"
};
}
};
Ideally it should work. You can also try using request module like below
const request = require('request');
request('http://www.google.com', function (error, response, body) {
console.error('error:', error); // Print the error if one occurred
console.log('statusCode:', response && response.statusCode); // Print the response status code if a response was received
console.log('body:', body); // Print the HTML for the Google homepage.
});
Try and see if it helps.
Solved by doing await properly. Used this as guide.
var https = require('https');
var util = require('util');
const querystring = require('querystring');
var request = require('request')
module.exports = async function (context, req) {
context.log('JavaScript HTTP trigger function processed a request.');
/*if (req.query.name || (req.body && req.body.name)) {*/
var getOptions = {
contentType: 'application/json',
headers: {
'Authorization': <bearer_token>
},
};
var postData = {
"key": "value"
};
var postOptions = {
method: 'post',
body: postData,
json: true,
url: <post_url>,
headers: {
'Authorization': <bearer_token>
},
};
try{
var httpPost = await HttpPostFunction(context, postOptions);
var httpGet = await HttpGetFunction(context, <get_url>, getOptions);
return {
res: httpPost
};
}catch(err){
//handle errr
console.log(err);
};
};
async function HttpPostFunction(context, options) {
context.log("Starting HTTP Post Call");
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
var data = '';
request(options, function (err, res, body) {
if (err) {
console.error('error posting json: ', err)
reject(err)
}
var headers = res.headers;
var statusCode = res.statusCode;
//context.log('headers: ', headers);
//context.log('statusCode: ', statusCode);
//context.log('body: ', body);
resolve(body);
})
});
};
async function HttpGetFunction(context, url, options) {
context.log("Starting HTTP Get Call");
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
var data = '';
https.get(url, options, (resp) => {
// A chunk of data has been recieved.
resp.on('data', (chunk) => {
data += chunk;
})
// The whole response has been received. Print out the result.
resp.on('end', () => {
resolve(JSON.parse(data));
});
}).on("error", (err) => {
console.log("Error: " + err.message);
reject(err.message);
});
});
};

nodejs - How to promisify http.request? reject got called two times

I'm trying to wrap http.request into Promise:
new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
var req = http.request({
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 4000,
method: 'GET',
path: '/api/v1/service'
}, function(res) {
if (res.statusCode < 200 || res.statusCode >= 300) {
// First reject
reject(new Error('statusCode=' + res.statusCode));
return;
}
var body = [];
res.on('data', function(chunk) {
body.push(chunk);
});
res.on('end', function() {
try {
body = JSON.parse(Buffer.concat(body).toString());
} catch(e) {
reject(e);
return;
}
resolve(body);
});
});
req.on('error', function(err) {
// Second reject
reject(err);
});
req.write('test');
}).then(function(data) {
console.log(data);
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
If I recieve errornous statusCode from remote server it will call First reject and after a bit of time Second reject. How to make properly so it calls only single reject (I think First reject is proper one in this case)? I think I need to close res myself, but there is no close() method on ClientResponse object.
UPD:
Second reject triggers very rarely - why?
Your code is almost fine. To restate a little, you want a function that wraps http.request with this form:
function httpRequest(params, postData) {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
var req = http.request(params, function(res) {
// on bad status, reject
// on response data, cumulate it
// on end, parse and resolve
});
// on request error, reject
// if there's post data, write it to the request
// important: end the request req.end()
});
}
Notice the addition of params and postData so this can be used as a general purpose request. And notice the last line req.end() -- which must always be called -- was missing from the OP code.
Applying those couple changes to the OP code...
function httpRequest(params, postData) {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
var req = http.request(params, function(res) {
// reject on bad status
if (res.statusCode < 200 || res.statusCode >= 300) {
return reject(new Error('statusCode=' + res.statusCode));
}
// cumulate data
var body = [];
res.on('data', function(chunk) {
body.push(chunk);
});
// resolve on end
res.on('end', function() {
try {
body = JSON.parse(Buffer.concat(body).toString());
} catch(e) {
reject(e);
}
resolve(body);
});
});
// reject on request error
req.on('error', function(err) {
// This is not a "Second reject", just a different sort of failure
reject(err);
});
if (postData) {
req.write(postData);
}
// IMPORTANT
req.end();
});
}
This is untested, but it should work fine...
var params = {
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 4000,
method: 'GET',
path: '/api/v1/service'
};
// this is a get, so there's no post data
httpRequest(params).then(function(body) {
console.log(body);
});
And these promises can be chained, too...
httpRequest(params).then(function(body) {
console.log(body);
return httpRequest(otherParams);
}).then(function(body) {
console.log(body);
// and so on
});
I know this question is old but the answer actually inspired me to write a modern version of a lightweight promisified HTTP client. Here is a new version that:
Use up to date JavaScript syntax
Validate input
Support multiple methods
Is easy to extend for HTTPS support
Will let the client decide on how to deal with response codes
Will also let the client decide on how to deal with non-JSON bodies
Code below:
function httpRequest(method, url, body = null) {
if (!['get', 'post', 'head'].includes(method)) {
throw new Error(`Invalid method: ${method}`);
}
let urlObject;
try {
urlObject = new URL(url);
} catch (error) {
throw new Error(`Invalid url ${url}`);
}
if (body && method !== 'post') {
throw new Error(`Invalid use of the body parameter while using the ${method.toUpperCase()} method.`);
}
let options = {
method: method.toUpperCase(),
hostname: urlObject.hostname,
port: urlObject.port,
path: urlObject.pathname
};
if (body) {
options.headers = {'Content-Length':Buffer.byteLength(body)};
}
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const clientRequest = http.request(options, incomingMessage => {
// Response object.
let response = {
statusCode: incomingMessage.statusCode,
headers: incomingMessage.headers,
body: []
};
// Collect response body data.
incomingMessage.on('data', chunk => {
response.body.push(chunk);
});
// Resolve on end.
incomingMessage.on('end', () => {
if (response.body.length) {
response.body = response.body.join();
try {
response.body = JSON.parse(response.body);
} catch (error) {
// Silently fail if response is not JSON.
}
}
resolve(response);
});
});
// Reject on request error.
clientRequest.on('error', error => {
reject(error);
});
// Write request body if present.
if (body) {
clientRequest.write(body);
}
// Close HTTP connection.
clientRequest.end();
});
}
There are other ways as well but here you can find a simple way to make http.request as a promise or async/await type.
Here is a working sample code:
var http = require('http');
function requestAsync(name) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
var post_options = {
host: 'restcountries.eu',
port: '80',
path: `/rest/v2/name/${name}`,
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
};
let post_req = http.request(post_options, (res) => {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', (chunk) => {
resolve(chunk);
});
res.on("error", (err) => {
reject(err);
});
});
post_req.write('test');
post_req.end();
});
}
//Calling request function
//:1- as promise
requestAsync("india").then(countryDetails => {
console.log(countryDetails);
}).catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});
//:2- as await
let countryDetails = await requestAsync("india");
After reading all of these and a few articles, I thought I'd post a sort of "general" solution that handles both http and https:
const http = require("http");
const https = require("https");
const url_obj = require("url");
const request = async (url_string, method = "GET", postData = null) => {
const url = url_obj.parse(url_string);
const lib = url.protocol=="https:" ? https : http;
const params = {
method:method,
host:url.host,
port: url.port || url.protocol=="https:" ? 443 : 80,
path: url.path || "/"
};
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const req = lib.request(params, res => {
if (res.statusCode < 200 || res.statusCode >= 300) {
return reject(new Error(`Status Code: ${res.statusCode}`));
}
const data = [];
res.on("data", chunk => {
data.push(chunk);
});
res.on("end", () => resolve(Buffer.concat(data).toString()));
});
req.on("error", reject);
if (postData) {
req.write(postData);
}
req.end();
});
}
You could use like this:
request("google.com").then(res => console.log(res)).catch(err => console.log(err))
This is heavily inspired by this article, but replaces the hacky url parsing with the built in api.
Hope this help.
const request = require('request');
async function getRequest() {
const options = {
url: 'http://example.com',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer xxx'
}
};
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
return request(options, (error, response, body) => {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
const json = JSON.parse(body);
return resolve(json);
} else {
return reject(error);
}
});
})
}
It's easier for you to use bluebird api, you can promisify request module and use the request function async as a promise itself, or you have the option of using the module request-promise, that makes you to not working to creating a promise but using and object that already encapsulates the module using promise, here's an example:
var rp = require('request-promise');
rp({host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 4000,
method: 'GET',
path: '/api/v1/service'})
.then(function (parsedBody) {
// GET succeeded...
})
.catch(function (err) {
// GET failed...
});

Using Q library for HTTP api response testing in nodejs

how to use Q to make it wait until previous response has come from the server.
What I am looking to do here is compare the response from test server and production server for the same request.
I get the responses back from both the servers, but unable to compare them since the assert statement is executed before the response comes back.
Any one know what I am doing wrong. heres the code.
var Q = require('q');
var path='';
var prodResponse = '';
var tstReponse = '';
Q.fcall(readFile())
.then(secondFunction())
.then(thirdFunction())
.then(function(){
console.log("prodResponse: "+prodResponse);
console.log("tstResponse: "+tstResponse);
assert.strictEqual(prodResponse, tstResponse)
})
.catch(function(){
console.log('error occurred');
})
.done();
function readFile(){
fs.readFile('hostname.json', function (err, data) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
path = JSON.parse(data);
return JSON.parse(data);
});
}
function secondFunction(){
var prodOptions = {
hostname: 'somehostname.com',
port: 80,
path: "/path?"+path.path,
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'
},
auth : ''
};
return http.request(prodOptions, function(res) {
console.log('Prod');
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
prodResponse = chunk;
return chunk;
});
res.on('end', function() {
console.log('No more data in response.');
})
}).on('error', function(e) {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
}).end();
}
function thirdFunction(){
// same a second, only difference is the response http.
}
There is multiple errors in your code
Q.fcall(readFile())
Your q variable is q and not Q. So this line will crash because Q is undefined (javascript is case sensitive).
Then, readFile doesn't return any promise (in fact, it returns nothing). So the q library can't use anything to wait the end of any asynchronous work. The then callbacks will be fired immediatly.
You can use Q.ninvoke to make your readFile function return a promise, and you can use Q.defer to create and return a promise from your secondFunction:
var Q = require('q');
var path='';
var prodResponse = [];
var tstReponse = '';
readFile()
.then(secondFunction())
.then(thirdFunction())
.then(function(){
console.log("prodResponse: "+prodResponse);
console.log("tstResponse: "+tstResponse);
assert.strictEqual(prodResponse, tstResponse)
})
.catch(function(){
console.log('error occurred');
})
.done();
function readFile(){
return Q.ninvoke(fs, 'readFile', 'hostname.json').then(function (data) {
path = JSON.parse(data);
return path;
}, function (err) {
console.error(err);
});
}
function secondFunction(){
var prodOptions = {
hostname: 'somehostname.com',
port: 80,
path: "/path?"+path.path,
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'
},
auth : ''
};
var defer = Q.defer();
var chunks = [];
http.request(prodOptions, function(res) {
console.log('Prod');
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
chunks.push(chunk);
});
res.on('end', function() {
console.log('No more data in response.');
prodResponse = chunks.join('');
defer.resolve(prodResponse);
})
}).on('error', function(e) {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
defer.reject(e);
}).end();
return defer.promise;
}
function thirdFunction(){
// same a second, only difference is the response http.
}
