Get value from emit in input field with Vue

I know this has a simple answer but I appear to be stuck. I have an upload image input in a form. Following several tutorials, I have successfully created the upload method. My issue is once the image is uploaded to Firestore storage I use this.$emit('imgurl', downloadURL)
My problem is I do not know how to get that value so when the user submits the form the url gets added to the database.
Parts of the code:
HTML:
<div class="field avatar">
<label for="avatar">Avatar</label>
<input type="file" name="imgurl" accept="image/*" #change="detectFiles($event.target.files)">
<div class="progress-bar green" :style="{ width: progressUpload + '%'}">{{ progressUpload }}%</div>
<img class="avatar" v-bind:src="this.downloadURL">
</div>
Methods:
detectFiles (fileList) {
Array.from(Array(fileList.length).keys()).map( x => {
this.upload(fileList[x])
})
},
upload (file) {
var storage = firebase.storage();
this.uploadTask = storage.ref('avatars/'+file.name).put(file);
}
Watch:
watch: {
uploadTask: function() {
this.uploadTask.on('state_changed', sp => {
this.progressUpload = Math.floor(sp.bytesTransferred / sp.totalBytes * 100)
},
null,
() => {
this.uploadTask.snapshot.ref.getDownloadURL().then(downloadURL => {
this.downloadURL = downloadURL
this.$emit('imgurl', downloadURL)
})
})
}
}
Add to the database:
db.collection('teams').add({
team_name: this.team_name,
team_id: this.team_id,
bio: this.bio,
url: this.imgurl,
}).then(() => {
this.$router.push({ name: 'Admin' })
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err)
})

You can pass a function as a prop to a child component, then call this function passing your downloadURL as argument.
Parent Component
HTML
<child passURL="getDownloadURL">
JS
data: {
return {
downloadURL: null
}
},
methods: {
getDownloadURL: function(url) {
this.downloadURL = url
}
}
Child Component
JS
props: ['passURL'],
Inside your watcher, you can call
this.passURL(downloadURL)
Instead of $emit.

I found the answer. I added a hidden input field
<input type="hidden" name="imgurl" v-model="imgurl">
and replaced the emit with this.imgurl = downloadURL

Page not being reloaded on form Submit angular 5

I managed to create a form in an Angular 5 , my question is how can I reload the page after user submits the form.
I need the page to be reloaded so the new added element would displayed in the datatable, which is getting the existing elements (using Async Subscribe from HTTP client method) from the DB
So this is what I need to do:
User fills form
POST query => my API (response OK)
Notification Displayed
At that time I need to find a way to
reload the page or to update the existing Datatable
This is the Form Code:
<form [formGroup]="BillForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
<div class="col-12">
<div class="row">
........
...............
<div class="ml-auto">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-finish btn-fill btn-rose btn-wd" name="finish" value="Confirm"
[disabled]="BillForm.invalid">
</div>
</form>
now this is the Onsubmit method :
onSubmit() {
var newBill = this.BillForm.value;
newBill.CreatedAt = new Date();
console.log(newBill);
this.billservice.getCustomerId()
.subscribe(
res1 => {
console.log('this.BillService.getMonitorId', res1['Customer_id']);
this.billservice.getMonitorId(res1['Customer_id'])
.subscribe(
result => {
this.billservice.addBill(result['Monitor_id'], newBill)
.subscribe(
res => {console.log(res);
if (res['result'] === 'Bill Added Successfully') {
this.showNotification('bottom', 'right', 'success');
}}
);
});
});
}
It's working perfectly I just need to make better for the user , now it just addds the element to the table but I need to reload manually to see the change on table
This is how I am getting the data for the dataTable :
this.BillService.getCustomerId()
.subscribe(
res1 => {
console.log('this.BillService.getMonitorId', res1['Customer_id']);
this.BillService.getMonitorId(res1['Customer_id'])
.subscribe(
result => {
this.BillService.getBills(result['Monitor_id'])
.subscribe(res => {
this.dataTable = {
headerRow: ['#', 'Amount', 'Created at', 'From', 'To', 'Payment Status', 'Payment Date', 'Actions'],
dataRows: res['result'][0]['Bills']
};
setTimeout(function () {
self.initTable();
}, 10); });
});
});
and in the view :
<tr *ngFor="let row of dataTable.dataRows">
<td>{{row.Amount}}</td>
<td>{{row.CreatedAt | date:'mediumDate'}}</td>
<td>{{row.From | date:'mediumDate'}}</td>
<td>{{row.To | date:'mediumDate'}}</td>

Submitting multiple forms with one button

I've looked at all the threads that already exist on this topic and have not been able to come up with a solution for my case.
I have multiple forms rendering with the help of Handlebars like this:
<ul>
{{#each listRecords}}
<form id="form{{id}}" action="/expand-list-records-save/{{../listId}}/{{id}}" method="POST">
<div class="record-box">
<li>{{recordTitle}} by {{artistName}} ({{releaseYear}})
<br>
<div>
<label>Paste media embed code here:</label>
<textarea class="form-control form-control-lg" name="embeddedmedia" cols="30" rows="10">{{embeddedMedia}}</textarea>
</div>
<br>
<br>
</li>
</div>
</div>
</form>
{{/each}}
</ul>
<input id="submit" class="btn btn-secondary btn-block" type="submit" value="Submit embed code" >
<script>
$(document).ready(() => {
$('#submit').click(function submitAllForms() {
for (var i=0; i < document.forms.length; i++) {
console.log(`submitting ${document.forms[i].id}`)
document.forms[i].submit();
}
})
})
</script>
my Node.js + Express.js route looks like this
router.route('/expand-list-records-save/:listId/:recordId')
.post((req, res) => {
// console.log(req)
Record.findOne({
where: {
id: req.params.recordId
}
}).then(result => {
// console.log(req.body)
result.update({
embeddedMedia: req.body.embeddedmedia
})
}).then(() => {
console.log("sending list to view")
sendListDataToView({ params: {id: req.params.listId} }, res, 'view-list')
})
})
I'm having a few problems. First of all, this logic only executes a POST request for the item that the very last form on the page is for. Why is it that the console.log works for every single instance in my loop when iterating through all the document forms? From what I know, I think I need to use AJAX here somehow to execute all the POST requests. And the second main thing that I don't think is giving me problems at this point, but will once I get the first issue solved, is that my route is not written to handle a batch of requests like I need it to.
UPDATE
Upon a recommendation in comments, I decided try and write an Ajax request to post all of the forms to a separate route which will handle it from there. How do I pass an array of forms to the data parameter? I get the Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded error this way:
$(document).ready(() => {
$('#submit').click(function submitAllForms() {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: window.location.origin + $('h3')[0].innerText,
data: document.forms,
success: (data) => {
console.log(data)
}
})
})
})
After going through some other examples, I tried rewriting original submit script like this. And, in this case, it does not pick up the action attribute.
$(document).ready(() => {
$('#submit').click(function submitAllForms() {
$('form').each(() => {
var that = $(this);
$.post(that.attr('action'), that.serialize())
})
})
})

So, I have finally come up with a solution, if anyone is interested. Perhaps not prettiest, but it works.
<script>
$(document).ready(() => {
$('#submit').click(function submitAllForms() {
var counter = 0;
var totalForms = $('form').length;
$('form').each((i, form) => {
const redirectIfDone = () => {
if (counter === totalForms) {
alert("all forms updated successfully")
window.location.replace(window.location.origin + '/list/' + $('h3')[0].innerText)
}
}
if (!($(form).find('textarea').val())) {
counter++
redirectIfDone();
return true;
} else {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: $(form).attr('action'),
data: $(form).serialize(),
success: (data) => {
counter++;
redirectIfDone();
}
})
}
})
})
})
</script>
Virtually no changes to the route. Overall, I'm still interested in seeing other possible solutions.
router.route('/expand-list-records-save/:listId/:recordId')
.post((req, res) => {
Record.findOne({
where: {
id: req.params.recordId
}
}).then(result => {
result.update({
embeddedMedia: req.body.embeddedmedia
})
res.end()
})
})

How to retrieve data from form using a POST route?

I am trying to retrieve data from a Bootstrap form element, and save it to a PostgresSQL database using Express and Knex. There are no errors when I run the route; however, the data from the form is saved as null. Here is my form element (I'm using React):
render() {
return (
<form>
<div className ="form-group">
<label>Add a Note:</label>
<textarea className="form-control" name="note" rows="5">
</textarea>
</div>
<button onClick={this.handleClick} className="btn btn-primary"
type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
)
}
Here is my fetch to the POST route:
handleClick(e) {
e.preventDefault()
fetch('/create-note', {
method: 'POST'
})
}
Here is my Express POST route (app.use(bodyParser.json()) is included in this file):
app.post('/create-note', (req, res) => {
postNote(req.body.note)
.then(() => {
res.sendStatus(201)
})
})
Here is the Knex postNote function:
export function postNote(newNote) {
const query = knex
.insert({ note_content: newNote })
.into('notes')
return query
}
Any help would be appreciated!

With POST requests you may have to wait for data body to be ready. Try this
app.post('/create-note', (req, res) => {
var body = '';
request.on('data',function(data) { body += data; });
request.on('end', function(data) {
postNote(body)
.then(() => {
res.sendStatus(201)
})
});
})

try the following in your markup, and forgo using fetch
...
<form method="POST" action="/create-note" enctype='application/json'>
...
</form>
...
or since the default encoding for a form is application/x-www-form-encoded (doc), add the following middleware to your express app..
...
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
...
also you could try...
...
<button ref="form" onClick={this.handleClick} className="btn btn-primary"
type="submit">Submit</button>
...
along with
handleClick(e) {
e.preventDefault();
const data = new FormData(this.refs.form);
fetch('/create-note', {
method: 'POST',
body: data
})
}

I found a solution and want to post it incase anyone else runs into a similar issue. The problem was I wasn't querying textarea's value correctly, so I was passing an undefined variable to the database to save.
Here's the solution I came up with:
handleSubmit(e) {
const data = new FormData(e.target)
const text = {note: data.get('note')}
fetch('/create-note', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(text)
})
}
render() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<div className ="form-group">
<label>Add a Note:</label>
<textarea className="form-control" name="note" rows="5">
</textarea>
<button ref="textarea" className="btn btn-primary"
type="submit">Submit</button>
</div>
</form>
)
}
I put a onSubmit event listener on the form, and created a new FormData instance with the form. Then I created an object containing the value of the textarea to pass into the fetch call.

Laravel + Vue.js. Load more data when i click on the button

i have problem. When I click the button, it receives an entire database, but I want laod part database. How can I do this?
For example: After every click I would like to read 10 posts.
Thx for help.
Messages.vue:
<div class="chat__messages" ref="messages">
<chat-message v-for="message in messages" :key="message.id" :message="message"></chat-message>
<button class="btn btn-primary form-control loadmorebutton" #click="handleButton">Load more</button>
</div>
export default{
data(){
return {
messages: []
}
},
methods: {
removeMessage(id){...},
handleButton: function () {
axios.get('chat/messagesmore').then((response) => {
this.messages = response.data;
});
}
},
mounted(){
axios.get('chat/messages').then((response) => {
this.messages = response.data
});
Bus.$on('messages.added', (message) => {
this.messages.unshift(message);
//more code
}).$on('messages.removed', (message) => {
this.removeMessage(message.id);
});
}
}
Controller:
public function index()
{
$messages = Message::with('user')->latest()->limit(20)->get();
return response()->json($messages, 200);
}
public function loadmore()
{
$messages = Message::with('user')->latest()->get();
// $messages = Message::with('user')->latest()->paginate(10)->getCollection();
return response()->json($messages, 200);
}
paginate(10) Loads only 10 posts

You can do it like this:
<div class="chat__messages" ref="messages">
<chat-message v-for="message in messages" :key="message.id" :message="message"></chat-message>
<button class="btn btn-primary form-control loadmorebutton" #click="handleButton">Load more</button>
</div>
export default{
data(){
return {
messages: [],
moreMessages: [],
moreMsgFetched: false
}
},
methods: {
removeMessage(id){...},
handleButton: function () {
if(!this.moreMsgFetched){
axios.get('chat/messagesmore').then((response) => {
this.moreMessages = response.data;
this.messages = this.moreMessages.splice(0, 10);
this.moreMsgFetched = true;
});
}
var nextMsgs = this.moreMessages.splice(0, 10);
//if you want to replace the messages array every time with 10 more messages
this.messages = nextMsgs
//if you wnt to add 10 more messages to messages array
this.messages.push(nextMsgs);
}
},
mounted(){
axios.get('chat/messages').then((response) => {
this.messages = response.data
});
Bus.$on('messages.added', (message) => {
this.messages.unshift(message);
//more code
}).$on('messages.removed', (message) => {
this.removeMessage(message.id);
});
}
}
-initialize a data property morMsgFetched set to false to indicate if more messages are fetched or not
if morMsgFetched is false make the axios request and st the response to moreMessages, then remove 10 from moreMessages and set it to messages[]..
After that set morMsgFetched to true
on subsequest click remove 10 from moreMessages and push it to 'messages[]`

Use Laravels built in pagination.
public function index()
{
return Message::with('user')->latest()->paginate(20);
}
It returns you next_page url which you can use to get more results calculated automatically

This might be too late but i believe the best way to do it is using pagination, Initially onMounted you'll send a request to let's say /posts?page=1, the one is a variable let's say named 'pageNumber', each time the user clicks on the "Load More" button, you'll increment the pageNumber and resent the request, the link will page /posts?page=2 this time, at this point you can append the results you've got to the already existing one and decide if the Load More button should be shown based on the last_page attribute returned by laravel paginator...
I'm sure you already solved your problem or found another alternative, this might be usefull for future developers.
