I'm trying to build Java app that search for files including a "word" in a content of files inside dropbox folder.
As we can see in Dropbox docs:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http#documentation-files-search
we can do that using "filename_and_content".
I suppose that the fragment of Java code allowing to set "filename_and_content" should look like this:
SearchBuilder searchBuilder = client.files.searchBuilder("/duke/duke/Daily_Activity_Reports", "plik");
searchBuilder.mode(Files.SearchMode.filenameAndContent);
But how should I use this SearchBuilder in searching?
Once you have the SearchBuilder object configured the way you want, you can then call the start method on it to begin searching. The documentation for the start method can be found here.
It returns a SearchResults object with the results, as well as more, which tells you if there are more results available, and start, which you should pass back to the start method in order to get the rest of the results.

I'm writing a client-side application which should read in a file, transform its content and then export the result. To do this, I decided on Re-Frame.
Now, I'm just starting to wrap my head around Re-Frame and cloujurescipt itself and got the following thing to work:
Somewhere in my view functions, I send this whenever a new file gets selected via a simple HTML input.
[:input {:class "file-input" :type "file"
:on-change #(re-frame/dispatch
[::events/file-name-change (-> % .-target .-value)])}]
What I get is something like C:\fakepath\file-name.txt, with fakepath actually being part of it.
My event handler currently only splits the name and saves the file name to which my input above is subscribed to display the selected file.
(re-frame/reg-event-db
::file-name-change
(fn [db [_ new-name]]
(assoc db :file-name (last (split new-name #"\\")))))
Additionally I want to read in the file to later process it locally. Assuming I'd just change my on-change action and the event handler to do this instead, how would I do it?
I've searched for a while but found next to nothing. The only things that came up where other frameworks and such, but I don't want to introduce a new dependency for each and every new problem.
I'm assuming you want to do everything in the client using HTML5 APIs (eg. no actual upload to a server).
This guide from MDN may come handy: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File/Using_files_from_web_applications
It seems you can subscribe to the event triggered when the user selects the file(s), then you can obtain a list of said files, and inspect the files contents through the File API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File
In your case, you'll need to save a reference to the FileList object from the event somewhere, and re-use it later.
I'm trying to access the local storage data in Edge set by my options page, using my popup script. Is there a current, working example of this available?
I was using localStorage, but it would only update the popup if I reloaded the extension after saving changes in my options page. I want to make it easier on the user by allowing the popup to access it immediately after saving, without reloading. I found the browser.storage.local.get(), but documentation conflicts everywhere I look, and I can't find viable working examples.
I have used, per Edge documentation:
browser.storage.local.get("sample");
But it throws an error requiring a callback function. So then I used:
let sample = browser.storage.local.get("example");
sample.then(ifGood, ifBad);
I get an error regarding property "then".
Then I simply tried adding a callback to the action itself:
sample = browser.storage.local.get("example", callbackFunction);
function callbackFunction(data){
alert(data);
}
The end alert should display a string, but it just displays an empty Object. How do I access the data returned in the callback? I tried callbackFunction(this) as an argument in the get, but it throws an error about the syntax of the get.
I found a work-around using browser.runtime.reload() in the Options page when saving the changes. It still reloads the extension, but it does it without requiring the user to do it manually.
You should use this syntax:
browser.storage.local.get(propertyName | null, callbackFn)
where
callbackFn = function fn(resultObject) {...}
When you pass null you will get whole storage object.
Look for example 1 or example 2 in my Edge extension.
Let us assume I serve data to colleagues in-office with a small Flask app, and let us also assume that it is a project I am not explicitly 'paid to do' so I don't have all the time in the world to write code.
It has occurred to me in my experimentation with pet projects at home that instead of decorating every last route with #app.route('/some/local/page') that I can do the following:
from flask import Flask, render_template, url_for, redirect, abort
from collections import OrderedDict
goodURLS = OrderedDict([('/index','Home'), ##can be passed to the template
('/about', 'About'), ##to create the navigation bar
('/foo', 'Foo'),
('/bar', 'Bar'), ##hence the use of OrderedDict
('/eggs', 'Eggs'), ##to have a set order for that navibar
('/spam', 'Spam')])
app = Flask(__name__)
#app.route('/<destination>')
def goThere(destination):
availableRoutes = goodURLS.keys():
if "/" + destination in availableRoutes:
return render_template('/%s.html' % destination, goodURLS=goodURLS)
else:
abort(404)
#app.errorhandler(404)
def notFound(e):
return render_template('/notFound.html'), 404
Now all I need to do is update my one list, and both my navigation bar and route handling function are lock-step.
Alternatively, I've written a method to determine the viable file locations by using os.walk in conjunction with file.endswith('.aGivenFileExtension') to locate every file which I mean to make accessible. The user's request can then be compared against the list this function returns (which obviously changes the serveTheUser() function.
from os import path, walk
def fileFinder(directory, extension=".html"):
"""Returns a list of files with a given file extension at a given path.
By default .html files are returned.
"""
foundFilesList = []
if path.exists(directory):
for p, d, files in walk(directory):
for file in files:
if file.endswith(extension):
foundFilesList.append(file)
return foundFilesList
goodRoutes = fileFinder('./templates/someFolderWithGoodRoutes/')
The question is, Is This Bad?
There are many aspects of Flask I'm just not using (mainly because I haven't needed to know about them yet) - so maybe this is actually limiting, or redundant when compared against a built-in feature of Flask. Does my lack of explicitly decorating each route rob me of a great feature of Flask?
Additionally, is either of these methods more or less safe than the other? I really don't know much about web security - and like I said, right now this is all in-office stuff, the security of my data is assured by our IT professional and there are no incoming requests from outside the office - but in a real-world setting, would either of these be detrimental? In particular, if I am using the backend to os.walk a location on the server's local disk, I'm not asking to have it abused by some ne'er-do-well am I?
EDIT: I've offered this as a bounty, because if it is not a safe or constructive practice I'd like to avoid using it for things that I'd want to like push to Heroku or just in general publicly serve for family, etc. It just seems like decorating every viable route with app.route is a waste of time.
There isn't anything really wrong with your solution, in my opinion. The problem is that with this kind of setup the things you can do are pretty limited.
I'm not sure if you simplified your code to show here, but if all you are doing in your view function is to gather some data and then select one of a few templates to render it then you might as well render the whole thing in a single page and maybe use a Javascript tab control to divide it up in sections on the client.
If each template requires different data, then the logic that obtains and processes the data for each template will have to be in your view function, and that is going to look pretty messy because you'll have a long chain of if statements to handle each template. Between that and separate view functions per template I think the latter will be quicker, even more so if you also consider the maintenance effort.
Update: based on the conversion in the comments I stand by my answer, with some minor reservations.
I think your solution works and has no major problems. I don't see a security risk because you are validating the input that comes from the client before you use it.
You are just using Flask to serve files that can be considered static if you ignore the navigation bar at the top. You should consider compiling the Flask app into a set of static files using an extension like Frozen-Flask, then you just host the compiled files with a regular web server. And when you need to add/remove routes you can modify the Flask app and compile it again.
Another thought is that your Flask app structure will not scale well if you need to add server-side logic. Right now you don't have any logic in the server, everything is handled by jQuery in the browser, so having a single view function works just fine. If at some point you need to add server logic for these pages then you will find that this structure isn't convenient.
I hope this helps.
I assume based on your code that all the routes have a corresponding template file of the same name (destination to destination.html) and that the goodURL menu bar is changed manually. An easier method would be to try to render the template at request and return your 404 page if it doesn't exist.
from jinja2 import TemplateNotFound
from werkzeug import secure_filename
....
#app.route('/<destination>')
def goThere(destination):
destTemplate = secure_filename("%s.html" % destination)
try:
return render_template(destTemplate, goodURLS=goodURLS)
except TemplateNotFound:
abort(404)
#app.errorhandler(404)
def notFound(e):
return render_template('/notFound.html'), 404
This is adapted from the answer to Stackoverflow: How do I create a 404 page?.
Edit: Updated to make use of Werkzeug's secure_filename to clean user input.
Is there a way to make a script where I can do stuff like $this->EE->db (i.e. using Expression Engine's classes, for example to access the database), but that can be run in the command line?
I tried searching for it, but the docs don't seem to contain this information (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm using EE 2.4 (the link above should point to 2.4 docs).
The following article seems to have a possible approach: Bootstrapping EE for CLI Access
Duplicate your index.php file and name it cli.php.
Move the index.php file outside your DOCUMENT_ROOT. Now, technically, this isn’t required, but there’s no reason for prying
eyes to see your hard work so why not protect it.
Inside cli.php update the $system_path on line 26 to point to your system folder.
Inside cli.php update the $routing['controller'] on line 96 to be cli.
Inside cli.php update the APPPATH on line 96 to be $system_path.'cli/'.
Duplicate the system/expressionengine directory and name it system/cli.
Duplicate the cli/controllers/ee.php file and name it cli/controllers/cli.php.
Finally, update the class name in cli/controllers/cli.php to be Cli and remove the methods.
By default EE calls the index method, so add in an index method to do what you need.
#Zenbuman This was useful as a starting point although I would add I had issues with all of my requests going to cli -> index, whereas I wanted some that went to cli->task1, cli->task2 etc
I had to update *system\codeigniter\system\core\URI.php*so that it knew how to extract the parameters I was passing via the command line, I got the code below from a more recent version of Codeigniter which supports the CLI
// Is the request coming from the command line?
if (php_sapi_name() == 'cli' or defined('STDIN'))
{
$this->_set_uri_string($this->_parse_cli_args());
return;
}
// Let's try the REQUEST_URI first, this will work in most situations
and also created the function in the same file
private function _parse_cli_args()
{
$args = array_slice($_SERVER['argv'], 1);
return $args ? '/' . implode('/', $args) : '';
}
Also had to comment out the following in my cli.php file as all routing was going to the index method in my cli controller and ignoring my parameters
/*
* ~ line 109 - 111 /cli.php
* ---------------------------------------------------------------
* Disable all routing, send everything to the frontend
* ---------------------------------------------------------------
*/
$routing['directory'] = '';
$routing['controller'] = 'cli';
//$routing['function'] = '';
Even leaving
$routing['function'] = '';
Will force requests to go to index controller
In the end I felt this was a bit hacky but I really need to use the EE API library in my case. Otherwise I would have just created a separate application with Codeigniter to handle my CLI needs, hope the above helps others.
I found #Zenbuman's answer after solving my own variation of this problem. My example allows you to keep the cron script inside a module, so if you need your module to have a cron feature it all stays neatly packaged together. Here's a detailed guide on my blog.
How is real time autocomplete with prefix matching implemented in Quora ?
Since Solr and Sphinx doesn't support real-time updating so what changes were made to support real time updating?
Looks like it's done using javascript and jquery. I grabbed a few key lines from the minified script on the Quora homepage that I think support this theory:
Here's an ajax call to a resource providing JSON data:
$.ajax({type:"GET",url:this.resultsQueryPath,dataType:"json",data:a,success:this.fnbind(ƒ(a){this.ajaxCallback(a)}),error:this.fnbind(ƒ(a,b,c){console.log(b,c),this.requestOutstanding=!1,this.$("##results_shell").html("Could not retrieve results: "+b)})})}
note that the successful result gets put into the "a" variable. Then later here's the autocompletion based on the keydown of the "question_box" element which is completing from the parent of "a"
this.$ ("##item input.question_box").keydown (ƒ (b) {
if (b.keyCode==9&&!b.shiftKey)for (var c=e.getLiveDomId (a.cid),d=a.parent ().orderedVisibleChildren (),f\^M=0;f<d.length-1;++f)if (c==d [f]) {
$ (this).blur (),$ ("#"+d [f+1]+" input.question_box").focus ();return!1}
})
I think this is pretty incontrovertible, but it would still be nice to have the un-minified script to compare. For instance I can't see where resultsQueryPath comes from (I can't locate it's source, may be intentionally obfuscated).
