angularjs - mongoose: accessing formData -


this question has answer here:

i'm building geolocationapi , i'm trying query locations based on min , max distance submitted user. however, i'm not being able read values in controller.

my input:

<div class="form-group">                             <label>min distance</label>     <input type="text" class="form-control text-center" ng-model="mindistance"><br> </div> <div class="form-group">                             <label>max distance</label>     <input type="text" class="form-control text-center" ng-model="maxdistance"><br> </div>

i tried this, send controller:

$scope.searchlocations = function () {     $scope.formdata.mindistance = $scope.mindistance;     $scope.formdata.maxdistance = $scope.maxdistance;     $http.get('/api/places')         .success(function (data) {             $scope.searchlocations = data;             //console.log($scope.formdata.mindistance);         })         .error(function (data) {             console.log('error: ' + data);         }); }

and on controller have this:

exports.find_all_locations_near = function(req, res) {   if (req.body.mindistance > 0)    {     location.find({       geolocation:         {            $near :           {               $geometry: { type: "point",  coordinates: [ lat, lon ] },               $mindistance: req.body.mindistance,               $maxdistance: req.body.maxdistance           }         }     }), function(err, location) {       if (err) {         //console.log(err);         res.send(err);       }       else if (location =='')         //res.json({ message: 'no location found.' });         res.json({ message: 'no location found.' });       else       {         res.json(location);         res.json({ message: 'the end.' });       }               };   } else    {     location.find({}, function(err, location) {       if (err)         res.send(err);       res.json(location);       //res.json(req.body);     });   }   }

i assume cant use req.body way, right? how should access value of min , max distance?

a request not have body.

to pass search values, can use query string parameters.

we can write function serialize set of named values form query string send our backend.

function withquery(url, parameters) {     const query = object.keys(parameters)         .map(function (key) {             return key + '=' + parameters[key];         })         .join('&');      return query.length         ? url + '?' + query         : url; }

we leverage function in modified search method below

$scope.searchlocations = function () {             const url = withquery('api/places', {         mindistance: $scope.mindistance,         maxdistance: $scope.maxdistance     });      $http.get(url)         .then(function (response) {             $scope.searchlocations = response.data;             //console.log($scope.formdata.mindistance);         })         .catch(function (reason) {             console.log('error: ' + reason);         }); };

note using then , catch instead of success , error latter deprecated , have problematic behavior.

in server side code, can access values using query property of request

exports.find_all_locations_near = function(req, res) {     const $mindistance = req.query.mindistance;     const $maxdistance = req.query.maxdistance;      if ($mindistance > 0) {         location.find({             geolocation: {                  $near: {                     $geometry: {                         type: "point",                         coordinates: [lat, lon]                     },                     $mindistance,                     $maxdistance                 }             }         }); // ... };

query string parameters start ? , take form key=value, delimited &. not need declared part of route declaration , implicitly available on query property of express.request value passed callback.

we can verify behavior following snippet

app.use('/test', (req, res) => {   res.send(object.entries(req.query)     .map(([key, value]) => `${key} ---> ${value}`)     .join('<br>')   ); });

and navigating /test?x=1&y=hello in our browser render

x ---> 1

y ---> hello

note: although req.params value not populated query parameters, req.param function can called query parameter name value. e.g. const id = req.param('id'). makes api feel inconsistent.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj...

What is happening when Matlab is starting a "parallel pool"? -

running parallel cpu processes in matlab starts command parpool() according documentation , function: [creates] special job on pool of workers, , [connects] matlab client parallel pool. this function takes bit of time execute, on order of 30 seconds. in other multi-cpu paradigms openmp, parallel execution seems totally transparent -- i've never noticed behavior analogous matlab (granted i'm not experienced parallel programming). so, happening between time parpool() called , when finishes executing? takes long? parallel computing toolbox enables run matlab code in parallel using several different paradigms (e.g. jobs , tasks, parfor , spmd , parfeval , batch processing), , run either locally (parallelised across cores in local machine) or remotely (parallelised across machines in cluster - either 1 own, or 1 in cloud). in of these cases, code run on matlab workers , copies of matlab without interactive desktop. if you're intending run on remo...
