There's a new and exciting enhancement to QEWD that has just been released - it's an additional layer of abstraction known as QEWD-Up.  QEWD-Up hides away all the mechanics of QEWD itself, allowing you to focus on just your REST APIs and the code that implements them.

Additionally, and importantly, QEWD-Up simplifies the maintenance of your REST APIs, allowing you (and others) to quickly and easily understand their life-cycle and implementation.

QEWD-Up supports both monolithic application designs and MicroService-based architectures where APIs are broken down by, for example, functional role.

Intro

Recently I reread this article by @Bernd.Mueller. It's about calling DELFATE function from zlib library. In this article I'll demonstrate several different approaches to callout libraries, we'll build the same functionality (compress function) in several different languages and compare them.

As a result of Evgeny's recent questions regarding the use of QEWD.js with IRIS in another post, I thought it would be a good idea to create a separate post focusing specifically on how to use QEWD.js to create REST APIs for IRIS.

QEWD.js is,  of course, a Node.js framework, and all the REST API code can be written entirely in JavaScript. 

Users of analytical applications often need to generate and send out PDF reports comprised of elements of the analytical panel. In the InterSystems stack, this task is solved using the DSW Reports project that is an extension of DeepSeeWeb. In this article, we will explain how to use DSW Reports for generating PDF reports and emailing them.

Hi every body

I hope it's the right place & I'm not offending any body.

I'm a veteran Mumps/Cache/Ensemble programmer .  I think my only draw back is my age, although my brain is still young & bubbly.

I'm looking a long time for work without success.

I gathered a lot of knowledge & experience during those long years , developed many projects & i'm ready to do any work only to feel useful.

I'll add my resume, I hope & wish that this post will bring some change as I'm desperate to get some work.

Thank you very much Simcha my email is shiluvg@gmail.com

Covering letter

Good day

In our language we have scandic letters like ä (a with two dots on it).

In Angular we use login like this:

let headers = new Headers();

password = Base64.fromBase64(password);

headers.append('Authorization', 'Basic ' + Base64.encode(username + ':' + password));

let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers, withCredentials: true });

return this._http.get(_param.baseUrl + this._loginUrl, options)

.map((res: Response) => {

It works, but not with these letters.

In other cases we convert data on server side like

set:tValue'="" tValue=$ZCONVERT(tValue,"I","UTF8")
 

Developing a Full-Stack JavaScript web app with Caché requires you to bring together the right building blocks. In this third part of this article series I will show how to link our React app to our three back-ends we created in part 2.

or "Bonus Breakage"

In our last lesson, we added a relationship between 2 persistent classes.  We are clearly going to need to start creating REST Services to expose CRUD operations for each of these classes, but before we do that, we should really finish defining our linkages.  We added code to our Widget toJSON to spool off related Accessory data, so we should really do the reciprocal and allow Accessories to return all Widgets that are compatible.

Hi everyone!
Someone already try to use jQuery Mask Plugin on cache?

Hello,every body. 

I am having a problem when using atelier. I found that the web front-end related files (such as csp, css, js, etc.) will change in format when they are synced to the server.

For example:

The original format of the js file may be UTF-8. However, when I edited and saved in atelier, the file version format on the server became ANSI. I tried to configure the environment in eclipse, but it doesn't seem to work.

E.g:

Because the file contains Chinese characters, this has a significant impact on the actual use.

So, what should I do to solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

I have a web application and one of the CSP pages contains the following snippets:

<script language='javascript'>
function SubmitForm(pid,sid) {
//code to process form

alert ("study saved");

self.document.location="newpage.csp";

}

</script>

<form name="Studyform"  method="post" onsubmit='return SubmitForm(#(SubjObj.%Id())#,#(StudyObj.%Id())#);' >
<!-- form contents -->

</form>

The form is correctly processed, the object is saved, and the alert appears, but the new page does not get loaded and I cannot figure out why.

Any suggestions?

or "Didn't you say you would cover Persistent Objects in Part 5, Chris?"

Yes, that was the plan.  This is a pretty important topic, so it get's its own Article

Up until now, we've display widget JSON that has been created by a basic loop.  Clearly this isn't of much value.  Now we have our stack connected together, and we can see that the data is flowing to the Welcome page, it's time to complete the stack and start feeding our service from "real" data.

I cannot connect to Cache from node.js  

I have installed in Windows 10 the following: CACHE 2016, node.js v 4.4.7 and  express .

-  where can I get cache.node? The link in the Intersystmes documentation  http://globalsdb.org/downloads/  doesn't work. I found cache0100.node and cache0120.node  in my Cache instance's  \bin directory. But I am not sure if I can use them or not.

 - how to install cache.node ? Where do I place it exactly? 

Can anyone recommend any tutorial or code example with installation instructions?

Thank you!

Hello all,

I'm attempting to create a pop-up box with "Yes" and "No" for the buttons. I currently have a JavaScript confirm box but it has "OK" and "Cancel" as the response buttons. I have read that JQuery is a way to do, but is there a possibility of doing this with CSP instead of JQuery?

Thanks

As an advanced alternative for REST calls, the new vue-qewd plugin for Vue.js allows easy integration with QEWDjs using WebSockets.

In our last lesson, we implemented a new REST Service to allow us to perform CRU operations on Widgets, and refactored our Controllers to allow the page setup to be decouple from the content.

One of the most important features during application development is the ability to debug your code easily. Because of the asynchrnous nature, a standard Node.js application server works single-threaded by default. When you are developing applications using an IDE like Visual Studio Code, you can very easily debug your Node.js process:

First, download the free Visual Studio Code IDE (@code) and install it on your development machine.

We will start with basic debugging using a very small test.js file and go to the debug view:

Hoping someone can help.

I had posted a similar question outside this group a while ago "Errors requesting data from local Ensemble FHIR Repository" but haven't had the chance to follow up on it since. It was suggested I re-post inside this group.

I'm trying to request data from my local FHIR repository using a simple JavaScript client and am getting the following CORS errors . ( It is a standalone client not inside HealthShare without CSP etc. on my localhost ).

In my previous posting about the new support in QEWD for JSON Web Token (JWT) support, I mentioned that it was a key step in enabling Micro-Service support in QEWD.  In this post I'll give some background to how they work and the thinking behind them.

If you haven't heard about Micro-Services and/or want to learn more, there's lots of information available if you do a Google Search.  Here's a good starting point:

https://smartbear.com/learn/api-design/what-are-microservices/

Quite a few enhancements have appeared over recent months in QEWD for easing and simplifying the creation of REST-based services.  It's now even more slick and powerful,  allowing you to very quickly create very high-performance, highly-scalable REST (and Web) services that make use of Cache.

I've therefore updated the training presentation deck (Part 31 on developing REST Services with QEWD).  It describes all the new features with worked examples.  See:

https://www.slideshare.net/robtweed/ewd-3-training-course-part-31-ewdxp…

If you read my previous post that introduced QEWD Micro-Services, you're hopefully eager to learn how to use them.  So in this post I'll explain what you need to know in order to get started.

If you look in the QEWD repository, you'll find the folder: 

  https://github.com/robtweed/qewd/blob/master/example/jwt

I've written previous IDC articles about QEWD and how it provides a very high-performance, yet simple-to-use, way of integrating Node.js with Cache 

Hi All,

We have a application currently running on Zen framework, now business wants to use Angular JS as their front-end technology for any future release but they don't want to upgrade the existing the modules which are already there in Zen (as of now).

HI Community,

I do have a table with quite some names written in Uppercase:

To simply correct this, I have created a button with some code behind it.:

In our last lesson, we implemented a linkage to our WidgetAccessory class, and debugged some errors we encountered along the way.  We now have our data being returned by REST, but what if we want to update or add new data to our application?  

or "Things are going to break"

We left our application over the weekend, secure in the knowledge that it was returning data from our primary persistent class, User.Widget.  However, Widgets Direct are the premier supplier of both Widgets AND Widget Accessories, so we should really start working on adding these Accessories to our application. 

Most frameworks support either REST or WebSockets, and don't make it easy to switch between the two, and/or support both styles of application at the same time.  WebSockets offer many advantages over REST, eg:

- most benchmarks show WebSocket messaging to be significantly faster than over HTTP

Hi community,

I do not understand why I get a 'javaScript exception'?

Purpose is to search for a [Country] based upon a [Code] as search parameter.

this is my code:

Something that shot up the popularity stakes last week was this article on a very interesting initiative: RealWorld:

https://medium.com/@ericsimons/introducing-realworld-6016654d36b5

I decided it would be a good idea to use this as a way of creating an exemplar implementation of a RESTful back-end using QEWD against their published API (https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld/tree/master/api)

The results are here:

https://github.com/robtweed/qewd-conduit

Actually it's the first 3rd-party implementation out of the blocks!

In our last lesson, we added some formatting and validation to our Edit Widget form.  So, now we are ready to add the ability to add new Widgets to our application.  However, the great Widget Wars have come to an abrupt end, as Widget Direct has purchased its biggest competitor, WorldWideWidgets.  In order to maintain some continuity, we need to display their catalog on our new application.
