Process File Uploads In Node.js With Hapi Framework

When building a web application, I personally find file uploads to be the most complicated part of the job. For example, how do you accept the files, and what do you do with them after you’ve received them in the request?

Not too long ago I wrote about accepting file uploads in Node.js sent via Angular. In this example I was using Express and the Multer middleware. What if you’re interested in using one of the more modern Node.js frameworks instead of Express?

This time around we’re going to explore processing file uploads with Hapi and Node.js.

Use A Router To Navigate Between Pages In A Vue.js Application

When building a modern web application, being able to navigate between pages is a necessity. Not to mention it is very important to be able to do so easily. To make this possible, frameworks such as Angular, React, and Vue use what’s known as a router and a set of routes. Each possible point of navigation, or page, is a route with its own configuration.

We’re going to see how to configure a set of routes and navigate between them using Vue.js and the vue-router library.

Handling CORS Related Issues In An Express Framework Node.js Web Application

Proper cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) configuration is one of those things that is completely necessary when building a RESTful API, but also one of those things that is a total pain in the butt when it comes to prototyping an application. CORS related errors are common when testing a web application where the front-end JavaScript layer exists on a different port or host than the API that it tries to access.

Previously I had written about configuring cross-origin resource sharing via a Golang RESTful API, but this time we’re going to explore the same using Node.js and Express Framework.

Handling CORS In A Golang Web Application

If you’ve ever spent time building RESTful APIs, you’ve probably come across cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) issues at some time or another. Often clients will receive errors when trying to interact with an API from a domain or port different from the actual API. Back in the day I had written a hacky article on getting past these CORS issues by manipulating the browser settings. However, it is best to tackle these issues at the source.

We’re going to see how to change the cross-origin resource sharing configuration in a Golang web application that uses the mux package.

Consume Remote API Data Via HTTP In A Vue.js Web Application

When building a modern web application, chances are that you’ll need to consume data from some remote resource, whether it be one that you’ve built or something someone else built. Sending HTTP requests is one of the more popular ways to send data from client facing applications to RESTful API backends.

We’re going to see how to send HTTP requests within a Vue.js web application, using a variety of techniques such as those found in the popular axios and vue-resource libraries.

Alias URLS In Hugo Websites Using RewriteRule For Htaccess

As you may remember, I recently released The Polyglot Developer 2.0 which was a migration from WordPress to Hugo. Because my WordPress permalinks matched a similar format to Hugo I didn’t have to make too many changes. However, there was an issue with the category and tag taxonomies. In Hugo these were recommended to be plural, while in WordPress they were singular.

I’m currently using Apache for hosting The Polyglot Developer so I had to figure out how to redirect the previous WordPress traffic to prevent bad links which would hurt the search engine optimization (SEO) of my blog. We’re going to see how I made such redirects happen.

Consume Remote API Data From Within A Node.js Application

Not too long I wrote about consuming remote API data using Golang. However, as you know, I’m also a heavy Node.js developer as well. So how do we issue HTTP requests from within a Node.js application and why might you want to. The simple answer is that you might want to consume someone else’s data within your web application and you can’t just do that like you would in a browser-based application using Ajax or similar.

We’re going to see how to make HTTP requests possible within Node.js.
