I want to save HTML source of my pugfile rendered with data.
My route is:
res.render('pugfile', { data: resp });
How can I do that?
There's a callback from .render().
res.render('pugfile', { data: resp }, function (err, pageBody) {
if (err) throw err
/* manipulate pageBody as you will,
* but be sure to .send it to the browser if
* you use this callback. */
res.send(pageBody)
})
See here and here.

The createTemplateFile function simply creates a new file if it doesn't exist.
The exportTemplateFile function saves the HTML in the html variable rendered by pug and prettifies it with the pretty package and then overwrites the new template file
Thats according to that post
I have a small webapp built with nodejs and express (among other things) that has a route to resize images on the fly (using sharp). The route looks like this:
router.get('/image/:options/:basedir/:dir/:img', utilitiesController.getOptimizedImage);
In the utilities controller, I have the getOptimizedImage function checking for the existing image, returning the existing image content if it exists, or if it doesn't, performing some image processing tasks, then returning the resulting image.
exports.getOptimizedImage = async (req, res) => {
// Parse options from request...
// first, check to see if resized version exists
fs.readFile(processedImgPath, function (err, processedImg) {
if (err) {
//console.log('File does not yet exist.');
// If resized version doesn't exist, check for original
fs.readFile(originImgPath, function (err, originImg) {
if (err) {
// If origin image doesn't exist, return 400.
} else if (w || h) {
// If origin image does exist, process it...
// Once it's processed, return the processed image
res.end(newImg);
return;
}
}
} else {
//
res.end(processedImg);
//res.redirect(existingFileUrl);
return;
}
}
}
This code works. I can request something like so:
<img src="http://example.com/image/w800/foo/bar/imagename.jpg">
...and it returns the resized image as expected. The issue seems to be that because of the way the image is returned using res.end(), the browser cache (testing in Chrome) doesn't ever store the image, so reloading the page downloads the image fresh instead of loading it from memory or disk.
I can alternatively use res.redirect() to send back the url of the existing processed image file, which will be cached on refresh, but that feels like the wrong way to do this, since it ultimately doubles all the image requests using the image processing path.
I don't want to process the images prior to request; I'm specifically looking to only process the images the first time they're requested, then store a processed version to reference each consecutive time. I'm open to alternatives within these constraints, but hoping someone can explain how I might leverage browser caching with my current structure?
You should add http headers for caching before any res.end, the example below will set the Expires time to 1 day (86400000ms).
res.set({
"Cache-Control": "public, max-age=86400",
"Expires": new Date(Date.now() + 86400000).toUTCString()
})
I have a problem with PNG image ganeration at server side, using Fabric.js + Node.js. I am wondering that there is no one with similar probem found in forums. I am in total despair. It makes under risk of using Fabric.js in our project.
PNG image generation in Fabric.js Node.js service fails on a unregular basis. I can not determine why sometimes it gets generated and sometimes not.
I need to generate PNG at server side. I’ve developed a small Node.js webservice based on samples here and here.
I’ve developed also a custom Fabric.js image class “RemoteImage”, based on Kangax sample here.
To minimize JSON string size, I am storing a dataless JSON in my database and images are supposed to be loaded using provide link in “src” attribute of the Fabric.js Image element. As the result, I need to load following JSON into canvas that contains 3 images:
{"objects":[{"type":"remote-image","originX":"left","originY":"top","left":44,"top":29,"width":976,"height":544,"fill":"rgb(0,0,0)","stroke":null,"strokeWidth":1,"strokeDashArray":null,"strokeLineCap":"butt","strokeLineJoin":"miter","strokeMiterLimit":10,"scaleX":0.5,"scaleY":0.5,"angle":0,"flipX":false,"flipY":false,"opacity":1,"shadow":null,"visible":true,"clipTo":null,"backgroundColor":"","fillRule":"nonzero","globalCompositeOperation":"source-over","localId":"222c0a8b-46ac-4c01-9c5c-79753937bc24","layerName":"productCanvas","itemName":"mainCanvas","src":"http://localhost:41075/en/RemoteStorage/GetRemoteItemImage/222c0a8b-46ac-4c01-9c5c-79753937bc24","filters":[],"crossOrigin":"use-credentials","alignX":"none","alignY":"none","meetOrSlice":"meet","remoteSrc":"http://localhost:41075/en/RemoteStorage/GetRemoteItemImage/222c0a8b-46ac-4c01-9c5c-79753937bc24","lockUniScaling":true},

At Node.js server side I use the following code. I am transferring JSON string in base64 encoding to avoid some special-character problems:
var fabric = require('fabric').fabric;
function generatePNG(response, postData) {
var canvas = fabric.createCanvasForNode(1500, 800);
var decodedData = new Buffer(postData, 'base64').toString('utf8');
response.writeHead(200, "OK", { 'Content-Type': 'image/png' });
console.log("decodedData data: " + JSON.stringify(decodedData));
console.log("prepare to load");
canvas.loadFromJSON(decodedData, function () {
console.log("loaded");
canvas.renderAll();
console.log("rendered");
var stream = canvas.createPNGStream();
stream.on('data', function (chunk) {
response.write(chunk);
});
stream.on('end', function () {
response.end();
});
});
}
In a console I see that message “prepare to load” appears, but message “loaded” does not. I am not an expert in Node.js and this is the only way how I can determine that error happens during the loadFromJSON call. But I do not understand, where is the problem.
I am using fabric v.1.5.0 and node-canvas v.1.1.6 on server side.
Node.js + Fabric.js service is running on Windows 8 machine. And I am makeing a request from .NET MVC application, using POST request.
Remark: May be I needed to omit my comment about base64 encoding as it is confusing. I tried to run with normal json string and the same result.
If the images referenced in the JSON are on the NodeJS server, try changing the file path to the directory path on the server as opposed to a web URL.
I'm not sure I fully understand how you are using the base64 image, but there are some character corrections that are required for base64 images. I of course don't recall the specifics and don't have my code handy that I perform this in, but a Google search should set you in the right direction.
I hope those ideas help.
It turned out that problem was related to the way how fabric.util.loadImage method works. For external images loadImage mathod makes an http request assuming that no error can happen. Method used for requesting external images just simply logs an error and ends, instead of returning error through callback method back to loadImage method. At this moment image loading routine falls apart with erroneous state and without any feedback - it just terminates crashing whole Node.js.
It took 3 days for me to finally find out that actually it was my image supplying webservice who just responds with status code 500 making Node.js request to fail. Using my image supplying webservice through browser worked correctly and therefore at the first moment I did not considered that error is related particularly with request.
As the result I rewrote fromObject method of my custom Fabric.js object. Now it works in more safe fashion and in case of error I can get more feedback. Here is the implementation of my fromObject method. For http request I use module "request".
fabric.RemoteImage.fromObject = function (object, callback) {
var requestUrl = object.remoteSrc;
request({
url: object.remoteSrc,
encoding: null
},
function(error, response, body) {
if (error || response.statusCode !== 200) {
var errorMessage = "Error retrieving image " + requestUrl;
errorMessage += "\nResponse for a new image returned status code " + response.statusCode;
if (error) {
errorMessage += " " + error.name + " with message: \n" + error.message;
console.log(error.stack);
}
console.log(errorMessage);
callback && callback(null, new Error(errorMessage));
} else {
var img = new Image();
var buff = new Buffer(body, 'binary');
img.src = buff;
var fabrImg = new fabric.RemoteImage(img, object);
callback && callback(fabrImg);
}
});
};
I have a script to test that - on click - generates an iFrame which downloads a file. How can I intercept the response with CasperJS?
I already tried the sequence:
casper.click('element');
casper.withFrame('frame', function(){
console.log(this.getCurrentUrl()); // only return about:blank, but should have URL
console.log("content: " + this.getHTML()); // Yep, empty HMTL
this.on('resource.received', function(resource){
console.log(resource.url); // never executed
});
});
I need the content of the file but can not really produce the URL without clicking the element or changing the script I'm testing.
Ideas?
I tried other events, but none got fired when downloading via the iframe. I found another solution that works - but if you have something better, I'd like to try it.
Here it comes:
// Check downloaded File
.then(function(){
// Fetch URL via internals
var url = this.evaluate(function(){
return $('__saveReportFrame').src; // JavaScript function in the page
});
var file = fs.absolute('plaintext.txt');
this.download(url, file);
var fileString = fs.read(file);
// Whatever test you want to make
test.assert(fileString.match(/STRING/g) !== null, 'Downloaded File is good');
})
I’m writing some proxy server code which intercepts a request (originated by a user clicking on a link in a browser window) and forwards the request to a third party fileserver. My code then gets the response and forwards it back to the browser. Based on the mime type of the file, I would like to handle the file server's response in one of two ways:
If the file is an image, I want to send the user to a new page that
displays the image, or
For all other file types, I simply want the browser to handle receiving it (typically a download).
My node stack includes Express+bodyParser, Request.js, EJS, and Passport. Here’s the basic proxy code along with some psuedo code that needs a lot of help. (Mia culpa!)
app.get('/file', ensureLoggedIn('/login'), function(req,res) {
var filePath = 'https://www.fileserver.com/file'+req.query.fileID,
companyID = etc…,
companyPW = etc…,
fileServerResponse = request.get(filePath).auth(companyID,companyPW,false);
if ( fileServerResponse.get('Content-type') == 'image/png') // I will also add other image types
// Line above yields TypeError: Object #<Request> has no method 'get'
// Is it because Express and Request.js aren't using compatible response object structures?
{
// render the image using an EJS template and insert image using base64-encoding
res.render( 'imageTemplate',
{ imageData: new Buffer(fileServerResponse.body).toString('base64') }
);
// During render, EJS will insert data in the imageTemplate HTML using something like:
// <img src='data:image/png;base64, <%= imageData %>' />
}
else // file is not an image, so let browser deal with receiving the data
{
fileServerResponse.pipe(res); // forward entire response transparently
// line above works perfectly and would be fine if I only wanted to provide downloads.
}
})
I have no control over the file server and the files won't necessarily have a file suffix so that's why I need to get their MIME type. If there's a better way to do this proxy task (say by temporarily storing the file server's response as a file and inspecting it) I'm all ears. Also, I have flexibility to add more modules or middleware if that helps. Thanks!
You need to pass a callback to the request function as per it's interface. It is asynchronous and does not return the fileServerResponse as a return value.
request.get({
uri: filePath,
'auth': {
'user': companyId,
'pass': companyPW,
'sendImmediately': false
}
}, function (error, fileServerResponse, body) {
//note that fileServerResponse uses the node core http.IncomingMessage API
//so the content type is in fileServerResponse.headers['content-type']
});
You can use mmmagic module. It is an async libmagic binding for node.js for detecting content types by data inspection.
