I am in need to send multiple items over rest web service being developed over Nodejs + Restify. I can send single object e.g. User.
Suppose, my app got 10 - 100 users at once and want to upload on server via Restful web service developed in nodejs/restify. What would be good solution for this?
I managed to do that through a jQuery Ajax Request. You can see my post for the solution.
Post jQuery JSON Object to NodeJs Restify
You can put you array in a Json, and then send it to your web service in one url parameter using JSON.stringify(your json)

I have an application composed of:
React frontend
Node JS + Express backend
Mongo DB
Backend and frontend communicates mainly through Apollo GraphQL.
Recently I began using Twilio for making calls. After a call, Twilio sends a backend request to my node JS app to a specific route, which is then modyfing a document in Mongo. The request is totally independent of the frontend and can come anytime.
How can I update the React component - a form displaying mentioned document, after that backend request (the displayed data should change accoridng to backend version)? I am thinking about websockets and/or Apollo subscriptions, but maybe there is some easier way?

You are looking for a way to push data from your server to your front end. Web sockets is probably the best solution for you, and since you are already using Apollo, and Apollo Subscriptions are commonly implemented over web sockets, then that is probably a good solution for you.
I'm a student who's newbie to the world of APIs and I'm working on an assignment where I have to create a NodeJs rest API that would call a SOAP service, transfer the XML response into a JSON object and return it to my angular project that calls this API.
I have looked around and found very little information about this, so is there a good place for me to start (Tutorial, courses, etc..) ?
looking forward to receiving answers because my passing grade is on the line :( </3
You need to break up this problem into multiple steps.
How do we make a rest-api in nodejs?
See a link like: https://www.codementor.io/#olatundegaruba/nodejs-restful-apis-in-10-minutes-q0sgsfhbd
OR How to best create a RESTful API in Node.js
How do we call a soap service from nodejs?
See e.g. SOAP Request using nodejs
How do we call our rest-api from angular?
https://angular.io/guide/http OR
Call Rest API From Angular Application
So break the problem up into steps, find the tutorials that help you implement that part, and put it all together.
Also use console.log and JSON.Stringify to debug your objects. E.g. see: https://levelup.gitconnected.com/5-ways-to-log-an-object-to-the-console-in-javascript-7b995c56af5a
I am trying to get my head around web hooks. I receive a web hook from Shopify. I use https://beeceptor.com/ to receive the web hook which looks like the screenshot attached. It is a JSON. I want to use python to process the received POST and take some action. Can I know how I can retrieve this using python? Do I need to use the Flask framework or can I do with request? Here are details from Shopify https://shopify.dev/tutorials/manage-webhooks#verify-webhook
which I am unsure of.
You need to create a web app that can accept incoming HTTP traffic from Shopify - you can do this in Flask/Python or really any other web technology stack. Services like AWS Lambda can also work to receive the webhook and do some processing.
I'm new at Firebase, I'm starting making a project which has to include Firebase and angular2, but I am such confused about how to implement them. I don't know if a there's the need to have a Back-end implementation (like Java or NodeJs) to handle some security issues (like form validation, authentication, routing etc), or it's enough just implementing Angular2 to handle all these issues. I would be so Thankful about any helpful advice how I could implement these both technologies to build my project successfully. Thanks
first firebase is something like your backend firebase can safe get and send request as your backend apps...
and angular js will do the rest like you just said andd all the backend stuff you can handle by firebase :)
This is my simple explanation on how this 2 works together
Always keep in mind that Angular works only in front-end. Its domain is the look and feel, application events, sending data to server and anything else that has something to do with displaying data is coded in this area.
Backend services in the other hand interacts with your database, creating business logic, handling authentications, saving / sending of data and other stuff that interacts with the database is coded from here.
Now how these two interact is done by the frontend service to send HTTP requests to the Server which is the backend service. This is done by using Angulars $http service or the so called jQuery AJAX or the infamous XMLHttpRequest JavaScript native. New technologies today utilizes Web Sockets which is being used by Firebase and some other frameworks, Web Sockets offers a faster way sending / fetching data from server.
The server then interprets the data being sent and send appropriate response. For example getting user list, saving profile, getting reports, logging in, etc.. It would work in this workflow.
1) Angular sends http request to server to get list of users.
2) Backend service installed in the server then interprets the data being sent.
3) Backend service then gets list of users from the database.
4) Backend then sends the data back to the frontend service.
5) Frontend then recieves server response and displays the data to the view.
Also these two is coded separately. To have more detailed explations research about how frontend and backend services interact you can find so much resouces in Google.
I have recently started learning how to use node.js and Meteor. I am trying to create a small app that I can query via a client built in meteor, but also query that same MongoDB via SMS using the Twilio API. I can see that this can be done with Express: How can I respond to incoming Twilio calls and SMS messages using node.js? but I wanted to use Meteor because of its apparent ease-of-use and integration with a database. I've been reading various questions about routing templates and serving static html pages in Meteor, but is there a solid way someone think I can make this work? Should I just go back to plain Express?
Twilio expects you to give them the URL where the XML response will be hosted: http://www.twilio.com/docs/quickstart/php/sms/hello-monkey
My earlier response is outdated. Today one should use iron:router and create a server-side route.
