Parse Cloud Code Save All - javascript

So I have a list of about 200 rows in my Parse Core. I am trying to create a job that runs through the entire list and changes the entire column of push to 0. I am trying to do so with this code:
Parse.Cloud.job("SetPush", function(request, response) {
//take in JSON with dict
var newts = new Array();
for ( var i = 0; i < request.params.push.length; i++ )
{
//add these entries to db
var DataClass = Parse.Object.extend("AllTeams");
var dataupdate = new DataClass();
var origdata = request.params.datalist[i];
dataupdate.set("push", "0");
newts[i]=dataupdate; //add another item to list
}
Parse.Object.saveAll(newts,{
success: function(list) {
// All the objects were saved.
response.success("ok " ); //saveAll is now finished and we can properly exit with confidence :-)
},
error: function(error) {
// An error occurred while saving one of the objects.
response.error("failure on saving list ");
},
});
//default body does not do response.success or response.error
});
As you can see my class is SetPush and I want to update the push column all the way down. The problem I believe lies in this:
for ( var i = 0; i < request.params.push.length; i++ )
When I run this code in the Cloud Code, it returns this error:
'TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined at main.js:43:60'
What am I doing wrong? Thank you

.length is undefined because request.params.push is an object. Looks like you want to iterate through a list you're passing in to this cloud function using the input parameter request.params.push, if/assuming the caller is passing in a valid JSON as 'push' then you can do something like this
Parse.Cloud.job("SetPush", function(request, response) {
//take in JSON with dict
var parsedJson = JSON.parse( request.params.push );
var newts = new Array();
for ( var i = 0; i < parsedJson.length; i++ )
{
//add these entries to db
var DataClass = Parse.Object.extend("AllTeams");
var dataupdate = new DataClass();
var origdata = request.params.datalist[i];
dataupdate.set("push", "0");
newts[i]=dataupdate; //add another item to list
}
Parse.Object.saveAll(newts,{
success: function(list) {
// All the objects were saved.
response.success("ok " );
//saveAll is now finished and we can properly exit with confidence :-)
},
error: function(error) {
// An error occurred while saving one of the objects.
response.error("failure on saving list ");
},
}); //default body does not do response.success or response.error
});

Issues getting JSON object array values when they are an integer

I'm trying to make a function that iterates through all the objects in an array returned to me by the server. Here's the structure that is listed when I console.log my response.
Now I made a javascript function that looks like this—
var createPosts = ((data) => {
var postsArrayLength = data.response.total_posts;
for ( i = 0; i < postsArrayLength; i++ ) {
//for each post create a div
var postDiv = document.createElement('div');
postDiv.className = 'post ' + data.response.posts.postsArrayLength[i].type;
}
});
and I'm receiving this error—
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined
It seems to only be giving me this error when I try to get an object that has an integer as its name.
Is there a way to deal with this? Or am I going about this completely wrong? Thanks!
Rewrite your function to something like this:
var createPosts = data => {
for ( i = 0; i < data.response.posts.length; i++ ) {
//for each post create a div
var postDiv = document.createElement('div');
postDiv.className = 'post ' + data.response.posts[i].type;
}
};

Node/Feathers with a database in the back

I am learning about Node and Feathers on a job. Need to make a simple app that would use feathers to load the [nedb] with sample data.
var fake = require('./fake.js');
var feathers = require('feathers-client');
var io = require('socket.io-client');
var socket = io("http://127.0.0.1:8000");
var app = feathers()
.configure(feathers.socketio(socket));
var accountsAPIService = app.service('/api/accounts');
var dummyData = fake();
// import dummy data
for ( var i = 0; i < dummyData.accounts.length; i++) {
// console.log(dummyData.accounts[i]);
var params = { query: {}};
accountsAPIService.create(dummyData.accounts[i], params).then(function(account) {
console.log("inserted: ", account);
});
}
// read back inserted records
accountsAPIService.find(params, function(accounts) {
console.log("accounts: ", accounts);
});
i just need to insert items from the array dummyData.accounts into the server.
When I run the script, it seems that nothing is being imported.
When I read the records back, it returns:
accounts: null
What is the proper way of inserting/creating records with Feathers?
Could not figure out how to use ".then" so used a regular form:
for ( var i = 0; i < dummyData.accounts.length; i++) {
var params = { query: {}};
accountsAPIService.create(dummyData.accounts[i], params, function(error, account) {
// console.log("inserted: ", account);
});
}
That works fine.
To read the data back, I corrected the method signature. Then, it works. :)
accountsAPIService.find(function(error, accounts) {
console.log("accounts: ", accounts);
});

cloud code in parse.com doesn't work to all data

I just start learning how to modify my database in Parse.com. I'm using cloud code in my mac.
In my database, I got around 150 data, with class openhour and closehour. Unfortunately, it was written in string. It's structure is like this 12:30.
I want to convert all of it from string to number, and store it in class openHour and closeHour. For an example, I will change 12:30 as string, to 12.5 as number.
I've wrote this code, deploy it, and execute it using terminal in mac. It seems succeeded since I can see some of my data in class openHour and closeHour are being filled.
My problem is, there are several data that are still empty. Can someone show me why this is happening? did I miss something?
var _ = require('underscore.js');
Parse.Cloud.define("openclose", function(request, response) {
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
var query = new Parse.Query("Places");
query.limit = 1000;
query.find().then(function(results) {
_.each(results, function(result) {
var openString = result.get("openhour");
var openHourString = openString.slice(0,2);
var openHour = Number(openHourString);
var openMinuteString = openString.slice(3);
var openMinute = Number(openMinuteString);
result.set("openHour", openMinute/60 + openHour);
var closeString = result.get("closehour");
var closeHourString = closeString.slice(0,2);
var closeHour = Number(closeHourString);
var closeMinuteString = closeString.slice(3);
var closeMinute = Number(closeMinuteString);
result.set("closeHour", closeMinute/60 + closeHour);
});
return Parse.Object.saveAll(results);
}).then(function(results) {
response.success(results);
}, function(error) {
response.error(error);
});
});
Try adding a "return" before before the query.find()
return query.find().then(function(results) {
Also - I assume you have < 1,000 rows of data? Otherwise, you will need to make this recursive because of the max query limit.

javascript - get items with query and match items to a user who has favorited item

I am writing a script on parse.com's javascript cloud code SDK. Here is the information I have saved in my parse.com account and what I am trying to do with it.
I have a bunch of items saved in a parse class called TestItem, theses items have an objectId, item name, meal time (lunch, dinner) and a location for there columns. I also have a class called UserFavourites. In this class the objects have an objectId, item name and a pointer to the user who saved the item as a favourite.
And with this information I am trying to write a cloud code script in javascript. That will match the an item(s) to the item(s) that a user has favourited and send them a push notification saying where and what the item is and the location of the item. I have some code that will do that but this code will send a different notification for each item which could get annoying for the user here is that code.
Parse.Cloud.define("push", function(request, response) {
var TestItem = Parse.Object.extend("TestItem");
var query = new Parse.Query(TestItem);
query.limit(1000);
query.equalTo('school', 'Union College (NY)');
query.find({
success: function(resultsItem) {
//console.log("Successfully retrieved " + resultsItem.length + " :1111.");
for (var i = 0; i < resultsItem.length; i++) {
var object = resultsItem[i];
var item = object.get('item');
var school = object.get('school');
var meal = object.get('meal');
var meal = meal.toLowerCase();
var diningLocation = object.get('schoolMenu');
//var itemArray = [];
var UserFavourite = Parse.Object.extend("UserFavourite");
var queryFavourite = new Parse.Query(UserFavourite);
queryFavourite.limit(1000);
queryFavourite.equalTo("item", item)
queryFavourite.equalTo("school", school)
queryFavourite.find({
success: function(results) {
for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
var objectFav = results[i];
var user = objectFav.get('user');
var userID = user.id;
var realItem = objectFav.get('item');
console.log(objectFav.get('user'));
console.log(objectFav.get('item'));
var UserClass = Parse.Object.extend("User");
var queryUser = new Parse.Query(UserClass);
queryUser.get(userID, {
success: function(userResult) {
console.log(userResult.get('school'));
console.log('install:' + userResult.get('installation').id);
var userInstallationId = userResult.get('installation').id;
var queryInstallation = new Parse.Query(Parse.Installation);
queryInstallation.equalTo('objectId', userInstallationId);
queryInstallation.find({
success: function(results) {
console.log('number' + results.length);
Parse.Push.send({
// deviceType: [ "ios" ],
where: queryInstallation,
data: {
alert: realItem + " is being served at " + diningLocation + " for " + meal
}
},
{
success: function() {
// Push was successful
},
error: function(error) {
// Handle error
}
});
},
error: function(error) {
console.log('error');
}
});
},
error: function(error) {
console.log('error');
}
});
}
},
error: function(error) {
alert("Error: " + error.code + " " + error.message);
}
});
}
},
error: function(error) {
alert("Error: " + error.code + " " + error.message);
}
});
});
As you can see it is quite long and not very nice looking, I tried to save items to an array so to avoid sending two or more notifications but couldn't get that to work.
So I started writing another script that uses promises which looks much nicer but haven't gotten it all the way right now, it can match the items to users that have an item favourited and put the objectId's of those users in an array. Here is that code.
Parse.Cloud.define("test", function(request, response) {
var UserFavourite = Parse.Object.extend("UserFavourite");
var queryFavourite = new Parse.Query(UserFavourite);
var userArray = [];
var TestItem = Parse.Object.extend("TestItem");
var query = new Parse.Query(TestItem);
query.limit(1000);
query.equalTo('school', 'Union College (NY)');
query.find().then(function(results) {
return results;
}).then(function(results) {
var promises = [];
for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
var object = results[i];
var item = object.get('item');
var school = object.get('school');
var meal = object.get('meal');
var UserFavourite = Parse.Object.extend("UserFavourite");
var queryUser = new Parse.Query(UserFavourite);
queryUser.equalTo("item", item);
queryUser.equalTo("school", school);
var prom = queryUser.find().then(function(users) {
for (var i = 0; i < users.length; i++) {
var user = users[i];
var userID = user.get('user').id;
if (userArray.indexOf(userID) === -1) {
userArray.push(userID);
}
}
return userArray;
});
promises.push(prom);
}
return Parse.Promise.when.apply(Parse.Promise, promises);
}).then(function(results) {
console.log(userArray);
});
});
But now with this code I don't know where to go, I think using promises and such is the right way to go but I am now confused as once I have all the users that have an item favourited what to do, I then need to get there items that are favourited and are available in the TestItem class, this is where I am struggling.
Here is a pic of my UserFavourite class it has a pointer to the user who favorited the item as you can see, and also a user has more than one favorite.
Thanks a bunch for the help in advance.
Here is your code, and I changed a couple things.
Parse.Cloud.define("getAllFavoriteItems", function (request, response) {
var TestItems = Parse.Object.extend("TestItems");
var UserFavorites = Parse.Object.extend("UserFavorites");
var testItemsQuery = new Parse.Query(TestItems);
var userFavoritesQuery = new Parse.Query(UserFavorites);
testItemsQuery.equalTo('school', 'Union College (NY)');
userFavoritesQuery.include('testItems'); //This makes sure to pull all of the favorite item data instead of just the pointer object
userFavoritesQuery.matchesQuery('testItem', testItemsQuery); //This will run this second query against the TestItems
userFavoritesQuery.limit(1000); //limit results to 1000
userFavoritesQuery.ascending('userId'); //group the user id's together in your array
userFavoritesQuery.find({
success:function(results) {
var pushNotificationMessage = "";
var userId = "";
for (var i=0; i <results.length; i++) {
if (results[i].get('userId') != userId) {
if (results[i].get('userId') != "") {
//TODO send push notification
}
userId = results[i].get('userId');
pushNotificationMessage = ""; //start a new push notification
}
pushNotificationMessage += results[i].get('item').get('name') + ": " + results[i].get('item').get('location') + "\n";
//SOMEWHERE BEFORE HERE I NEED THE INSTALLATION ID OF THE USER
//TO SEND THE PUSH TO THAT USER
Parse.Push.send({
// deviceType: [ "ios" ],
where: queryInstallation,
data: {
alert: pushNotificationMessage
}
},
{
success: function() {
// Push was successful
},
error: function(error) {
// Handle error
}
});
}
response.success(true);
},
error:function(error) {
response.error();
}
})
});
Some code that might create push per user, rough outline though
if (i > 0) {
if (results[i].get('user') === results[i-1].get('user')) {
userItems.push(results[i]);
}
else {
userItems.length = 0;
}
}
else {
userItems.push(results[i]);
}
Not sure let me know if you understand what I'm trying to do...
So it a user has two items favourited I want it to group that into one, phrase that says what and where both items are being served
And here is code to send push
Parse.Push.send({
// deviceType: [ "ios" ],
where: queryInstallation,
data: {
alert: pushNotificationMessage
}
},
{
success: function() {
// Push was successful
},
error: function(error) {
// Handle error
}
});
It can also be done with then/ promises,
I agree with #Maxwell that your UserFavorite should have links to both User and TestItem. This makes it possible to make your cloud-function as simple as:
Parse.Cloud.define("getAllFavoriteItems", function(request, response) {
var TestItem = Parse.Object.extend("TestItem");
var UserFavorites = Parse.Object.extend("UserFavorites");
var testItemsQuery = new Parse.Query(TestItem);
var userFavoritesQuery = new Parse.Query(UserFavorites);
testItemsQuery.equalTo('school', request.params.school);
userFavoritesQuery.include('testItem');
userFavoritesQuery.include('user');
userFavoritesQuery.matchesQuery('testItem', testItemsQuery); //This will run this second query against the TestItems
userFavoritesQuery.find().then(function(results) {
var alerts = {};
for(var i =0 ; i<results.length; i++ ){
var user = results[i].get('user');
var testItem = results[i].get('testItem');
if(user && testItem){
var instId = user.get('installationId');
if(!alerts[instId]) {
alerts[instId] = [];
}
var m = results[i].get('item') + " is being served at {{diningLocation}} for " + testItem.get('meal');
alerts[instId].push(m);
}
}
response.success(alerts);
}, function(error) {
response.error();
});
});
This is working code that you can also find in my github repo.
You can also see the working demo here
The idea is the same as in Maxwell's answer: to have link in UserFavorites class to both User (where installationId is located) and TestItem entities. I've just made it working by including user and testItems properties in query, so when the result is returned filtered by school name I already have a list of installationIds.
Here is my schema:
User
TestItem
UserFavorites
Update:
In this code I added push notifications:
Parse.Cloud.define("getAllFavoriteItems", function(request, response) {
var TestItem = Parse.Object.extend("TestItem");
var UserFavorites = Parse.Object.extend("UserFavorites");
var testItemsQuery = new Parse.Query(TestItem);
var userFavoritesQuery = new Parse.Query(UserFavorites);
testItemsQuery.equalTo('school', request.params.school);
function SendPush(installationId, msg) {
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.Installation);
query.equalTo('objectId', installationId);
Parse.Push.send({
where: query,
data: {alert: msg}
});
}
userFavoritesQuery.include('testItem');
userFavoritesQuery.include('user');
userFavoritesQuery.matchesQuery('testItem', testItemsQuery); //This will run this second query against the TestItems
userFavoritesQuery.find().then(function(results) {
var groupedAlerts = {};
// manually iterating though results to get alert strings ang group by user in groupedAlerts[installationId]
for(var i =0 ; i<results.length; i++ ){
var user = results[i].get('user');
var testItem = results[i].get('testItem');
if(user && testItem){
var instId = user.get('installationId');
if(!groupedAlerts[instId]) {
groupedAlerts[instId] = [];
}
var m = results[i].get('item') + " is being served at {{dining Location}} for " + testItem.get('meal');
groupedAlerts[instId].push(m);
}
}
// reformat to array and send push notifications
var alerts = [];
for(var key in groupedAlerts) {
alerts.push({
installationId: key,
alerts: groupedAlerts[key],
});
// Send push notifications
SendPush(key, groupedAlerts[key].join());
}
response.success(alerts);
}, function(error) {
response.error();
});
});
I've also updated test data in live demo (just press Get Alerts) or feel free to play around with test data hot it changes cloud code response. gitnub repo is also up to up to date.
This is based on what I understand as the problem you're trying to solve. If it's not addressing the right issue, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Looking first at your database model, we can simplify this a bit by modifying the UserFavorites table. Starting with the initial two classes, you have a table of items and a table of users. Since a user can favorite many items and an item can be favorited by many users, we have a many-to-many relationship that exists. When this happens, we need to make a third class that points to each of the other two classes. This is where the UserFavorites table comes into play. In Parse terms, the UserFavorites table needs to have two pointers in it: one for the user and one for the item.
Once the UserFavorite table exists with it's two pointers, we can do a few things fairly easily. In your case, we have a few searching criteria:
each item must be at a given school
you want to limit your responses to the first 1000
To accomplish this you can combine two queries into one by calling matchesQuery.
Parse.Cloud.define("getAllFavoriteItems", function (request, response) {
var TestItems = Parse.Object.extend("TestItems");
var UserFavorites = Parse.Object.extend("UserFavorites");
var testItemsQuery = new Parse.Query(TestItems);
var userQuery = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
var userFavoritesQuery = new Parse.Query(UserFavorites);
testItemsQuery.equalTo('school', 'Union College (NY)');
userQuery.include('Installation');
userFavoritesQuery.include('testItems'); //This makes sure to pull all of the favorite item data instead of just the pointer object
userFavoritesQuery.include('User'); //This makes sure to pull all of the favorite item data instead of just the pointer object
userFavoritesQuery.matchesQuery('testItem', testItemsQuery); //This will run this second query against the TestItems
userFavoritesQuery.matchesQuery('user', userQuery); //This will run the third query against Users, bringing the installation data along with it
userFavoritesQuery.limit(1000); //limit results to 1000
userFavoritesQuery.ascending('userId'); //group the user id's together in your array
userFavoritesQuery.find({
success:function(results) {
...
},
error:function(error) {
response.error();
}
})
})
Once we get that far, then compiling the push message for each user should be a matter of straight-forward string parsing logic. For example, in the success function, one way we can extract the data we is this:
success:function(results) {
var pushNotificationMessage = "";
var userId = "";
for (var i=0; i <results.length; i++) {
if (results[i].get('userId') != userId) {
if (results[i].get('userId') != "") {
//TODO send push notification
}
userId = results[i].get('userId');
pushNotificationMessage = ""; //start a new push notification
}
pushNotificationMessage += results[i].get('item').get('name') + ": " + results[i].get('item').get('location') + "\n";
}
response.success(true);
}
I haven't tested these examples to see if they'll work, but I hope this gives you an idea of how to simplify your queries into something a little more manageable.

knockout push values array

when I click on button1 I get object with 50 contacts array (containing collection of arrays with phoneNumbers, Addresses...), then when I click on button 2 I get the same object but my first object is erased whereas I would like to display 50 + 50 = 100 contacts array. I tried concat method but I have some difficulties to implement.
viewModel.initializeListener = function() {
$('#button1').click(function() {
document.getElementById("button2").style.visibility = "hidden";
$('#retrievedContactsDiv').html('');
nbDisplayedContacts = 0;
console.info("test");
viewModel.ui.FlashbackReport.MoreContacts();
});
$('#button2').click(function() {
viewModel.ui.FlashbackReport.MoreContacts();
console.info("test");
});
}; `
viewModel.WeHaveMoreContacts = function(data) {
console.info("test:", data)
if (viewModel.MoreContacts) {
var newArray=ko.mapping.fromJS(data, viewModel.MoreContacts);
var concatenated = newArray.concat(dataArray);
viewModel.MoreContacts.contacts(concatenated);
} else {
viewModel.MoreContacts = ko.mapping.fromJS(data);
var dataArray = viewModel.MoreContacts.contacts();
}
I have a parameter with number of contacts to skip for the server.
function which call the server then call the mapping function :
viewModel.ui.FlashbackReport.MoreContacts()
Problem : Object # has no method 'concat'
I made a fiddle that may help you.
The first part of the function generates new contacts and the second one add them to the existing contacts.
var VM = function () {
var self = this;
self.contacts = ko.observableArray();
self.addMore = function () {
// simulate server response
var offset = self.contacts().length;
var dataFromServer = [];
for (var index = 0; index < 10; index++) {
dataFromServer.push({
name: 'contact ' + offset + index
});
}
// add each new item to existing items.
ko.utils.arrayForEach(dataFromServer, function (item) {
self.contacts.push(item);
});
};
}
Feel free to ask more explanation.
I hope it helps.
