ˮ This is one of my articles which was never published in English. Let's fix it!

Hello! This article is about quite a practical way of developing InterSystems solutions without using the integrated tools like Studio or Atelier. All the code of the project can be stored in the form of "traditional" source code files, edited in your favorite development environment (for example, Visual Studio Code), indexed by any version control system and arbitrarily combined with many external tools for code analysis, preprocessing, packaging and so on.

The approach described in this article is suitable for

This is a quick note on what happens when, on your CSP page, you call a cache script which returns a %Boolean and store that value in a javascript variable.

When you call a script with language="cache" and returntype="%Boolean" from a javascript script, the return value is interpreted as a string, not as a boolean.

Here's an example:

A cache script that returns (in theory) a "false" value:

<script language="cache" method="giveMeAFalse" arguments="" returntype="%Boolean" procedureblock='1'>
return 0
</script>

A javascript method that logs what the value's actually interpreted as:

<script language="ja

Has anyone called any outside Javascript code from inside their class files? I asked a long time ago if there was a way to manipulate an image within Cache Object Script, and since Cache doesn't have any image libraries its not really possible. However I have found Javascript to resize an image and wonder how hard it would be to mesh the two together.

Can anyone share any examples?

Thanks

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. 

The RealWorld Conduit reference application makes a great exemplar for this kind of thing, as the APIs are all published and there are numerous implementations of both front-ends and back-ends for it, using different technologies, frameworks and databases.

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

My name is Simcha Gershon

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")
 

but in this case we can't do this on

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.

The code we can use is essentially the same as we used on the Widget side.

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

I'm trying but unsuccessfully.
First I created a new ambient on my own machine to developer in html and all works.
So, I exported the library's js (as jss) to a new Application (stylesheet /js /css) and created too a new Zen Page .cls calling this Application style.
On Zen Page
     Parameter APPLICATION = "Multi.Estilo";
XData Contents [ XMLNamespace = "http://www.intersystems.com/zen" ]

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.

Let's start with our (very basic) Persistent class for Widgets. We have 4 properties to hold Name, Description, Price and current Quantity.

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.

When we created our Widget Services, we did not implement a Deletion operation, which the HTTP Delete verb provides. As this is a base table for other parts of the Widgets Direct empire, we don't want to be able to do a hard Delete of the WIdget values, as this could cause issues with our ordering and billing modules.

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:

You'll notice we need to define a debug configuration first (at the

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/

In a nutshell, they are all about breaking down, into separate self-contained units, the processes and functionality that

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

In my earlier post on JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) and QEWD I used this example application to explain how to use JWTs. This example application also demonstrates how to set up a simple Micro-Service, in this case a service that handles user authentication.

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.:

ClientMethod convertToTitle() [ Language = javascript ]
{
    
    var ctrl = zen('Relation');
tVar = ctrl.getValue();
     
tVar = this.StringConvert(tVar)
    zenPage.getComponentById('Relation').setValue(tVar)
}
ClientMethod StringConvert(str) [ Language = javascript ]
{
    ///alert (str)
    str = str.substring(0,1).toLowerCase() + tVar.substring(1).toLowerCase();
    ///alert (str)
    var pieces = str.split(" ");
    for ( var i = 0; i < pieces.length; i+

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?  

So far we have only used HTTP GET commands with our REST Services, we now have to implement PUT (which roughly corresponds to an Update) and a POST (which roughly corresponds to a Create.  Author's note: there is a lot of writing online about why this statement isn't entirely correct, I'm not going to go into the detail here).  However, before we start,

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. 

We should do some housekeeping first though. Our Page Controlller code is currently sitting in the widgetmaster.js file.

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

- you break free of the HTTP Request/Response protocol limitations, allowing the server/back-end to send messages to the browser as and when it wishes, not simply when polled by the browser.
