We Keep Coding

Google lens serpapi is giving me an abortsignal error. The code was the same the other day and now this error popped up?

My nodejs script was working perfectly fine the other day and now I'm getting this abort signal error below. The code is literally copied verbatim from the serpapi site. I had my own code that's slightly different but I get the same error even when just using the site's sample code. https://serpapi.com/google-lens-api. It seems to be a local issue because when I ran it standalone on Replit it seemed to be fine. My package json is below as well.
import { getJson } from "serpapi";
const params = {
url: "https://i.imgur.com/HBrB8p0.png",
api_key: "{xxx}"
};
// Show result as JSON
const response = await getJson("google_lens", params);
console.log(response["visual_matches"]);

Cannot import Axios to use with Parcel-Bundler

I am trying to use axios for a http request in my app.js file, but I always get the error message:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module.
I created the js folder, files and other js packages using parcel-bundler and run browser-sync to start the server.
What am I missing? Please help I am new to JavaScript. I am on macOS Big Sur 11.5.1, node v14.17.4
import axios from 'axios'
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
const form = document.querySelector('form')
form.addEventListener('submit', async (event) => {
event.preventDefault()
const username = document.querySelector('input').value
const response =
await axios.get(`https://api.github.com/users${username}`)
console.log(response.data)
})
})

In the closest (from the root of project directory) package.json file, add or update "type" field with a value of "module". It will ensure that all your .js, .ts and .mjs files are interpreted as ES modules.
...
{
...
"type": "module"
...
}
...

Where can I add it in this file?
{
"name": "githubUser",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"axios": "^0.21.1"
}
}

Add "type": "module" to your package.json
{
// ...
"type": "module",
// ...
}
Update:
It should looks like this:
{
"name": "githubUser",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"type": "module",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"

"dependencies": {
"axios": "^0.21.1"
}
}

node.js local modules :cannot find module error

I am trying to implement local modules in my application
1.Project root folder i have created folder named test with a file named index.js
module.exports = {
myFunction:function(){
console.log('ok');
}
}
2.Added the following in package.json in the root folder
"dependencies": {
"test-module": "file:test"
}
3.When i try to import var module = require('test-module'); in app.js i got this error
Cannot find module 'test-module'

you can provide a path to a local directory that contains a package
{
"name": "baz",
"dependencies": {
"bar": "file:../foo/bar"
}
}
and perform npm install -s or npm install --save reference

To add on #Blaze answer, if you follow the steps (Local Paths) to install a local module, it will sort out for you the local dependency in your package.json:
npm i ./test --save
That will produce the correct local dependency entry in your dependencies in the root package.json:
"test-module": "file:test"
assuming test-module is the name in the local dep package.json.
This is how it should look like:

Make sure your test folder has a package.json.
test/package.json should have a "name" field with the value "test-module" (ie, same name as the dependency in your root package.json.
My files:
test/package.json
{
"name": "test-module",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC"
}
test/index.js
module.exports = {
t:() => console.log('t')
};
package.json
{
"name": "t",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"test-module": "file:test"
}
}
app.js
t = require('test-module');
t.t();
This is working for me.

Unable to transpile es6 to es5 using Babel

I am using babel to transpile my es6 code to es5 in node application.
I have used below babel node modules for this
"babel-cli": "6.24.0"
"babel-preset-es2015": "6.24.0"
"babel-preset-stage-2": "6.22.0"
And below is related configuration in package.json
{
"name": "twinconsole",
"version": "1.1.0",
"description": "",
"main": "dist/index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"prebuild": "rimraf dist",
"build": "babel --out-dir dist src"
},
"author": "'test#test.com'>",
"license": "MIT",
"devDependencies": {
"babel-cli": "6.24.0",
"babel-preset-es2015": "6.24.0",
"babel-preset-stage-2": "6.22.0",
"rimraf": "2.6.1"
},
"config": {
"babel": {
"presets": ["es2015" , "stage-2"]
}
}
}
I was expecting below es6 code which uses Arrow function
module.exports.print = msg => {
console.log(msg);
}
to be transpiled to
module.exports.print = function(msg) {
console.log(msg);
}
Instead the transpiled code still has arrow function.
Any idea what could be the issue.

Babel doesn't find your configuration because you didn't setup package.json correctly. From the docs:
You can alternatively choose to specify your .babelrc config from within package.json like so:
{
"name": "my-package",
"version": "1.0.0",
"babel": {
// my babel config here
}
}
Note that babel is at the top level, not inside config.

Why Can't I set moment locale in node?

I'm running a node-app, this is all I have in app.js:
var moment = require('moment');
moment().locale('fr');
console.log(moment.locale())
I expect this to output 'fr' but it outputs 'en' instead, when I
runjs app.js
There is a fr-folder in node_modules/moment/locale.
Here are my packages:
{
"name": "zenqa",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Faq for Zenconomy.se",
"main": "index.js",
"dependencies": {
"body-parser": "^1.14.2",
"concat-files": "^0.1.0",
"express": "^4.13.3",
"marked": "^0.3.5",
"moment": "^2.11.2",
"mustache-express": "^1.2.2",
"node-sass-middleware": "^0.9.7",
"php-unserialize": "0.0.1",
"requestify": "^0.1.17",
"validator": "^4.8.0"
},
"devDependencies": {},
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "Kristoffer Nolgren",
"license": "ISC",
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git#github.com:kristoffernolgren/ZenqaMiddleware.git"
}
}

According to the documentation there is a bug that prevents moment.locale from being loaded. So you can use the following code.
var moment = require('moment');
require('moment/locale/fr');
console.log(moment.locale());

You can use:
import moment from "moment";
import "moment/locale/es";

Spent hours on this just to realise I had to import the locale from /dist dir instead. Maybe it's just caused by my setup but might help someone
import moment from 'moment';
import 'moment/dist/locale/fr';
moment.locale('fr');
Test
import fr1 from 'moment/dist/locale/fr';
import fr2 from 'moment/locale/fr';
console.log(fr1); // Locale {_calendar: {…}, ... }
console.log(fr2); // {}

According to the current documentation it is possible:
var moment = require('moment');
moment.locale('fr');
console.log(moment().format());

For node you can use:
moment.updateLocale('es');
I have tested it.

Current document is not correct. In Node.JS you still use this code:
moment.lang('fr');
