Example of Node.JS Server-side Validation Using Express-Validator

Example of Node.JS Server-side Validation
routes/api.js import body from express-validator/check and then add middleware in the router to validate as shown below in square brackets
const { body } = require('express-validator/check');

// middleware - Add Product
router.post('/product', [
body('title')
.trim()
.isLength({min: 3}).withMessage('Title too short. Enter a longer title!'),
body('description')
.trim()
.isLength({min: 30, max: 600}).withMessage('Description should be from 30 upto 600 characters!'),
body('price', 'Enter a valid price.')
.isFloat()
.trim(),
], apiController.postProduct);

controllers/api.js - add validation result and check if errors variable has any errors to stop action.
const { validationResult } = require('express-validator/check');

exports.postProduct = (req, res, next) => {
const errors = validationResult(req);
if (errors.isEmpty()) {
const title = req.body.title;
const description = req.body.description;
const price = req.body.price;
// create post in db
res.status(201).json({
message: 'success!',
data: {
id: new Date().toISOString(),
title: title,
description: description,
price: price
}
});
} else {
res.status(422)
.json(
{
message: "Validation failed, entered data is incorrect.",
errors: errors.array()
}
)
}
};

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.

Resolve: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function

If you are getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function Resolve it by including firebase-database.js in your html page as follows: <!-- The core Firebase JS SDK is always required and must be listed first --> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/6.2.4/firebase-app.js" ></script> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.1.0/firebase-database.js" ></script> That is it. Let me know if this was helpful.
