Simple Cognito User Authentication With Code Grant Not working - amazon-web-services

I am trying to create a simple static website that uses AWS Cognito to authenticate users. That means I'm not using any advanced libraries but basing my code on the AWS example here.
If I use the default 'token' flow then the example works for my domain. However, as recommended by Amazon themselves in several places e.g. here I want to used 'code grant' flow, and as state in the example above I just uncomment line 221:
auth.useCodeGrantFlow();
However this fails causing the onFailure function to be called although oddly I do see the URL bar containing code=xxxxx. It appears there are more steps I need to do but all examples I find demonstrate the less favourable 'token flow'.
This is my specific index.html based on the above example:

In dev tools I do see a call to https://<domain-name-removed>/oauth2/token but looks like it comes back with a 400 error.The response text is "error":"invalid_client".
Is there some additional configuration I need to do, or as suggested in the AWS docs for authorisation code grant flow I need to implement additional BE code? I feel the example code is lacking a full description for code grant flow.
According to

It turns out that when I created the the app client for the user pool I created it with a secret key. This key must be returned in the header as part of the authentication process which I wasn't doing; the aws example doesn't indicate how this is achieved. Instead direction is given to create the app client without an app secret key

If I understand your use case correctly you should not use an app client secret for this. The AWS example is indeed correct, the code you get in the url is meant to be used in another request in the process of acquiring the real code aka access_token.

Django with Vue, detect form validation error

I have a Django ModelForm which is displayed in the template by using using crispy forms. After the user fills out the fields and presses a Submit button, an email is sent at the backend using Django's core send_email.
The problem is that the call to send_email is synchronous, so the user has to wait for the next page to load (success/failure page) but in this time the user might press the Submit button again and this generates multiple POSTs, making multiple emails.
I want to use Vue.js to make the button inactive once the user presses it but only if it passes Django's form validation. Is there a way to detect this?
Add to your button :disabled="!readyToSend" where readyToSend can be returned by your data function or a computed propoerty.
Before submitting the form set this variable to false, afater receiving data from your API, reset it to true.
In the following example I've choosen to make readyToSend a computed proporty where it will return true if the form is valid and if the process is not waiting for the API response.
The complete Code Pen example is here
html file :
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0">
<title>example</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="app">
<h2>{{ message }}</h2>
<form #submit.prevent>
<input type="text" v-model="dataToSend" placeholder="Something to send">
<button type="button" :disabled="!readyToSend" #click="send">Send</button>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
javascript:
var vm = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: function(){
return {
message: "please enter your message and click on send.",
dataToSend: "",
sentAndWaiting: false,
}
},
methods:{
send: async function(){
this.sentAndWaiting = true;
// Send Data Here
this.message = "sending....";
try{
let response = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1');
let jsonResponse = await response.json();
}
catch(e){
this.message = e.message;
}
// reponse received ... do Something with it
this.reponseReceived();
},
reponseReceived: function(){
this.sentAndWaiting = false;
this.message = "Ok. Got The response.";
}
},
computed:{
readyToSend: function(){
return this.dataToSend.length > 0 && !this.sentAndWaiting;
}
},
});
in my browser I had to test this by going to the developper tools and limit my internet connexion to the GPRS and disabling cache:

Nuxt JS Apollo data only available after page refresh

I am fetching some data using Apollo inside of Nuxt. Somehow, when navigating to that page I get an error of
Cannot read property 'image' of undefined
When I refresh the page, everything works as expected.
I have a found a few threads of people having similar issues but no solution seems to work for me :/
This is my template file right now:
/products/_slug.vue
<template>
<section class="container">
<div class="top">
<img :src="product.image.url"/>
<h1>{{ product.name }}</h1>
</div>
</section>
</template>
<script>
import gql from 'graphql-tag'
export default {
apollo: {
product: {
query: gql`
query Product($slug: String!) {
product(filter: { slug: { eq: $slug } }) {
slug
name
image {
url
}
}
}
`,
prefetch({ route }) {
return {
slug: route.params.slug
}
},
variables() {
return {
slug: this.$route.params.slug
}
}
}
}
}
</script>
Basically the $apolloData stays empty unless I refresh the page. Any ideas would be much appreciated
EDIT
Got one step closer (I think). Before, everything (image.url and name) would be undefined when navigating to the page for the first time.
I added:
data() {
return {
product: []
};
}
at the top of my export and now at least the name is always defined so if I remove the image, everything works as expected. Just the image.url keeps being undefined.
One thing I noticed (not sure how relevant) is that this issue only occurs using the , if I use a normal a tag it works but of course takes away the vue magic.
EDIT-2
So somehow if I downgrade Nuxt to version 1.0.0 everything works fine
I stumbled on this issue as well, and found it hidden in the Vue Apollo documents.
Although quite similar to the OP's reply, it appears the official way is to use the "$loadingKey" property.
It's quite confusing in the documents because there are so many things going on.
https://vue-apollo.netlify.com/guide/apollo/queries.html#loading-state
<template>
<main
v-if="!loading"
class="my-8 mb-4"
>
<div class="w-3/4 mx-auto mb-16">
<h2 class="mx-auto text-4xl text-center heading-underline">
{{ page.title }}
</h2>
<div
class="content"
v-html="page.content.html"
></div>
</div>
</main>
</template>
<script>
import { page } from "~/graphql/page";
export default {
name: 'AboutPage',
data: () => ({
loading: 0
}),
apollo: {
$loadingKey: 'loading',
page: {
query: page,
variables: {
slug: "about"
}
},
}
}
</script>
If you need to use a reactive property within vue such as a slug, you can do so with the following.
<template>
<main
v-if="!loading"
class="my-8 mb-4"
>
<div class="w-3/4 mx-auto mb-16">
<h2 class="mx-auto text-4xl text-center heading-underline">
{{ page.title }}
</h2>
<div
class="content"
v-html="page.content.html"
></div>
</div>
</main>
</template>
<script>
import { page } from "~/graphql/page";
export default {
name: 'AboutPage',
data: () => ({
loading: 0
}),
apollo: {
$loadingKey: 'loading',
page: {
query: page,
variables() {
return {
slug: this.$route.params.slug
}
}
},
}
}
</script>
I think it's only a problem of timing on page load.
You should either iterate on products, if you have more than one, or have a v-if="product != null" on a product container, that will render only once the data is fetched from GraphQL.
In that way you'll use the object in your HTML only when it's really fetched and avoid reading properties from undefined.
To fix this, you add v-if="!$apollo.loading" to the HTML container in which you're taying to use a reactive prop.

Vue Template not updating after data is changed

I am new to Vue, and I have played around with small vue applications, but this is the first project I've done using vue and webpack (vue-cli).
I have a django rest API set up, for which I then use vue to consume the API and display the data. The issue i'm having is when I want to do anything the templates aren't updating. The data is loaded in correctly, but if I try and do a #click event and then a v-show (to toggle displaying an item) it doesn't change the view.
Example,
lets say I have a list of pubs that I consume from the API.
I get them via axios, and store them in the data function in a array called pubs:
<script>
import axios from 'axios'
export default {
name: 'Pubs',
data () {
return {
pubs: [
{
pub_id:'',
name:'',
address:'',
showPub: false,
},
]
}
},
created: function () {
this.loadPubs();
},
methods: {
loadPubs: function () {
var vm = this;
axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/pubs/')
.then(function (response) {
vm.pubs = response.data;
vm.pubs.forEach(function (pub) {
pub.showPub = true;
});
console.log("loaded");
})
.catch(function (error) {
this.pubs = 'An error occured.' + error;
});
},
togglePub: function (pub) {
pub.showPub = !pub.showPub;
console.log(pub.showPub);
console.log(pub);
return pub;
},
}
}
</script>
The template could be:
<template>
<div class="pubs">
<h1>VuePubs</h1>
<ul>
<li v-for="pub in pubs">
<section>
<h2 #click="togglePub(pub)">{{ pub.name }}</h2>
<section v-show="pub.showPub">
<h3>{{ pub.address }}</h3>
<h3>{{ pub.postcode }}</h3>
<h3>{{ pub.showPub }}</h3>
</section>
</section>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</template>
I can see that the data is changing in the model, thanks to the vue-dev tools, but the template doesn't change. The section doesn't hide and the h3 tags don't update with the new showPub field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How to add text input to dropzone upload

I'd like to allow users to submit a title for each file that is dragged into Dropzone that will be inputted into a text input. But i don't know how to add it. Everyone can help me?
This is my html code code
<form id="my-awesome-dropzone" class="dropzone">
<div class="dropzone-previews"></div> <!-- this is were the previews should be shown. -->
<!-- Now setup your input fields -->
<input type="email" name="username" id="username" />
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" />
<button type="submit">Submit data and files!</button>
</form>
And this is my script code
<script>
Dropzone.options.myAwesomeDropzone = { // The camelized version of the ID of the form element
// The configuration we've talked about above
url: "upload.php",
autoProcessQueue: false,
uploadMultiple: true,
parallelUploads: 100,
maxFiles: 100,
maxFilesize:10,//MB
// The setting up of the dropzone
init: function() {
var myDropzone = this;
// First change the button to actually tell Dropzone to process the queue.
this.element.querySelector("button[type=submit]").addEventListener("click", function(e) {
// Make sure that the form isn't actually being sent.
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
myDropzone.processQueue();
});
// Listen to the sendingmultiple event. In this case, it's the sendingmultiple event instead
// of the sending event because uploadMultiple is set to true.
this.on("sendingmultiple", function() {
// Gets triggered when the form is actually being sent.
// Hide the success button or the complete form.
});
this.on("successmultiple", function(files, response) {
// Gets triggered when the files have successfully been sent.
// Redirect user or notify of success.
});
this.on("errormultiple", function(files, response) {
// Gets triggered when there was an error sending the files.
// Maybe show form again, and notify user of error
});
},
accept: function (file, done) {
//maybe do something here for showing a dialog or adding the fields to the preview?
},
addRemoveLinks: true
}
</script>
You can actually provide a template for Dropzone to render the image preview as well as any extra fields. In your case, I would suggest taking the default template or making your own, and simply adding the input field there:
<div class="dz-preview dz-file-preview">
<div class="dz-image"><img data-dz-thumbnail /></div>
<div class="dz-details">
<div class="dz-size"><span data-dz-size></span></div>
<div class="dz-filename"><span data-dz-name></span></div>
</div>
<div class="dz-progress"><span class="dz-upload" data-dz-uploadprogress></span></div>
<div class="dz-error-message"><span data-dz-errormessage></span></div>
<input type="text" placeholder="Title">
</div>
The full default preview template can be found in the source code of dropzone.js.
Then you can simply pass your custom template to Dropzone as a string for the previewTemplate key of the option parameters. For example:
var myDropzone = new Dropzone('#yourId', {
previewTemplate: "..."
});
As long as your element is a form, Dropzone will automatically include all inputs in the xhr request parameters.
I am doing something fairly similar. I accomplished it by just adding a modal dialog with jquery that opens when a file is added. Hope it helps.
this.on("addedfile", function() {
$("#dialog-form").dialog("open");
});
In my answer, substitute your "title" field for my "description" field.
Add input text or textarea to the preview template. For example:
<div class="table table-striped files" id="previews">
<div id="template" class="file-row">
<!-- This is used as the file preview template -->
<div>
<span class="preview"><img data-dz-thumbnail /></span>
</div>
<div>
<p class="name" data-dz-name></p>
<input class="text" type="text" name="description" id="description" placeholder="Searchable Description">
</div> ... etc.
</div>
</div>
Then in the sending function, append the associated data:
myDropzone.on("sending", function(file, xhr, formData) {
// Get and pass description field data
var str = file.previewElement.querySelector("#description").value;
formData.append("description", str);
...
});
Finally, in the processing script that does the actual upload, receive the data from the POST:
$description = (isset($_POST['description']) && ($_POST['description'] <> 'undefined')) ? $_POST['description'] : '';
You may now store your description (or title or what have you) in a Database etc.
Hope this works for you. It was a son-of-a-gun to figure out.
This one is kind of hidden in the docs but the place to add additional data is in the "sending" event. The sending event is called just before each file is sent and gets the xhr object and the formData objects as second and third parameters, so you can modify them.
So basically you'll want to add those two additional params and then append the additional data inside "sending" function or in your case "sendingmultiple". You can use jQuery or just plain js to get the values. So it should look something like:
this.on("sendingmultiple", function(file, xhr, formData) {
//Add additional data to the upload
formData.append('username', $('#username').val());
formData.append('password', $('#password').val());
});
Here is my solution:
Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;
var myDropzone = new Dropzone("#myDropzone", {
url: 'yourUploader.php',
init: function () {
this.on(
"addedfile", function(file) {
caption = file.caption == undefined ? "" : file.caption;
file._captionLabel = Dropzone.createElement("<p>File Info:</p>")
file._captionBox = Dropzone.createElement("<input id='"+file.filename+"' type='text' name='caption' value="+caption+" >");
file.previewElement.appendChild(file._captionLabel);
file.previewElement.appendChild(file._captionBox);
}),
this.on(
"sending", function(file, xhr, formData){
formData.append('yourPostName',file._captionBox.value);
})
}
});
yourUploader.php :
<?php
// Your Dropzone file named
$myfileinfo = $_POST['yourPostName'];
// And your files in $_FILES
?>
$("#my-awesome-dropzone").dropzone({
url: "Enter your url",
uploadMultiple: true,
autoProcessQueue: false,
init: function () {
let totalFiles = 0,
completeFiles = 0;
this.on("addedfile", function (file) {
totalFiles += 1;
localStorage.setItem('totalItem',totalFiles);
caption = file.caption == undefined ? "" : file.caption;
file._captionLabel = Dropzone.createElement("<p>File Info:</p>")
file._captionBox = Dropzone.createElement("<textarea rows='4' cols='15' id='"+file.filename+"' name='caption' value="+caption+" ></textarea>");
file.previewElement.appendChild(file._captionLabel);
file.previewElement.appendChild(file._captionBox);
// this.autoProcessQueue = true;
});
document.getElementById("submit-all").addEventListener("click", function(e) {
// Make sure that the form isn't actually being sent.
const myDropzone = Dropzone.forElement(".dropzone");
myDropzone.processQueue();
});
this.on("sending", function(file, xhr, formData){
console.log('total files is '+localStorage.getItem('totalItem'));
formData.append('description[]',file._captionBox.value);
})
}
});
For those who want to keep the automatic and send datas (like an ID or something that does not depend on the user) you can just add a setTimeout to "addedfile":
myDropzone.on("addedfile", function(file) {
setTimeout(function(){
myDropzone.processQueue();
}, 10);
});
Well I found a solution for me and so I am going to write it down in the hope it might help other people also. The basic approach is to have an new input in the preview container and setting it via the css class if the file data is incoming by succeeding upload process or at init from existing files.
You have to integrate the following code in your one.. I just skipped some lines which might necessary for let it work.
photowolke = {
render_file:function(file)
{
caption = file.title == undefined ? "" : file.title;
file.previewElement.getElementsByClassName("title")[0].value = caption;
//change the name of the element even for sending with post later
file.previewElement.getElementsByClassName("title")[0].id = file.id + '_title';
file.previewElement.getElementsByClassName("title")[0].name = file.id + '_title';
},
init: function() {
$(document).ready(function() {
var previewNode = document.querySelector("#template");
previewNode.id = "";
var previewTemplate = previewNode.parentNode.innerHTML;
previewNode.parentNode.removeChild(previewNode);
photowolke.myDropzone = new Dropzone("div#files_upload", {
init: function() {
thisDropzone = this;
this.on("success", function(file, responseText) {
//just copy the title from the response of the server
file.title=responseText.photo_title;
//and call with the "new" file the renderer function
photowolke.render_file(file);
});
this.on("addedfile", function(file) {
photowolke.render_file(file);
});
},
previewTemplate: previewTemplate,
});
//this is for loading from a local json to show existing files
$.each(photowolke.arr_photos, function(key, value) {
var mockFile = {
name: value.name,
size: value.size,
title: value.title,
id: value.id,
owner_id: value.owner_id
};
photowolke.myDropzone.emit("addedfile", mockFile);
// And optionally show the thumbnail of the file:
photowolke.myDropzone.emit("thumbnail", mockFile, value.path);
// Make sure that there is no progress bar, etc...
photowolke.myDropzone.emit("complete", mockFile);
});
});
},
};
And there is my template for the preview:
<div class="dropzone-previews" id="files_upload" name="files_upload">
<div id="template" class="file-row">
<!-- This is used as the file preview template -->
<div>
<span class="preview"><img data-dz-thumbnail width="150" /></span>
</div>
<div>
<input type="text" data-dz-title class="title" placeholder="title"/>
<p class="name" data-dz-name></p><p class="size" data-dz-size></p>
<strong class="error text-danger" data-dz-errormessage></strong>
</div>
<div>
<div class="progress progress-striped active" role="progressbar" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" aria-valuenow="0">
<div class="progress-bar progress-bar-success" style="width:0%;" data-dz-uploadprogress></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Geocoder not working, cant get long and lat to display in alert box

I am new to javascript and geocoding and I'm trying to learn how to use the two together.
I have created a form to take the users input post code and I then have the code to convert it to long and lat. I have included and alert to show the postcode so as I know how much has worked (more to help me teach myself)
It returns the alert box with the input post code but nothing else!?
I would like it show the long and lat in alert box's. Once I know I have the long and lat I will be looking into adding them into a MySQL table, but I will worry about that once I know I have retreived the values
Here is the code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getPostCode() {
var postcode = document.getElementById("pcode").value;
alert("Your Post Code is: " + postcode);
var gc = new google.maps.Geocoder();
gc.geocode({'address' : postcode}, function(results, status){
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
alert( "latitude : " + results[0].geometry.location.lat() );
alert( "longitude : " + results[0].geometry.location.lng() );
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="search" METHOD="GET" onsubmit="return getPostCode()">
Post Code: <input type="text" name="pcode" />
<input type="submit" value="Search"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Any help would be much appreciated

Matt thanks for you help so far, I have now edited the code to output the value to paragraph tags and removed the alert box, but it still wont display the lat and long, is my geocode code correct? It pulls through the post code but not the lat and long or error.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getPostCode() {
var postcode = document.getElementById("pcode").value;
var postcode = "Your Post Code is: " + postcode;
document.getElementById("p1").innerHTML=postcode;
var mygc = new google.maps.Geocoder();
mygc.geocode({'address' : postcode}, function(results, status){
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var lat = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
document.getElementById("lat").innerHTML=lat;
var lat = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
document.getElementById("long").innerHTML=long;
} else {
var err = "Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status;
document.getElementById("error").innerHTML=err;
}
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="search">
Post Code: <input type="text" name="pcode" />
<input type="button" value="Search" onclick="getPostCode()" />
</form>
<p id="p1"></p>
<p id="long"></p>
<p id="lat"></p>
<p id="error"></p>
</body>
</html>
I'm not 100% sure what you're doing since you say you're using v3 of the API but you don't need to construct google.maps.geocoder for v3 -- that's a version 2 thing. Besides that, you aren't even including Google's Javascript onto your page with a <script> tag. Look at your Javascript console. It's probably throwing an error.
To geocode with v3, just make requests to this URL, for example:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=false
The response is ready-to-parse JSON. No need for classes, instantiation, etc.
Is that what you are trying to do?
