@daniel-mulroy yes using it on multiple computer is probably the source of your issue.
When using it on multiple computers it's refreshing the token and can cause this issue

Hey @daniel-mulroy, yes that's correct.
The alternative would be to connect directly to your external DB from the cloud function using an NPM package

@joseph-benguira

It's the dropdown menu found by clicking the "filter" button on CloudDB

Hey @daniel-mulroy, could you provide more context?

@joseph-benguira

Solved... and I think I know why, very edge case 🙂

I had a callback at the very end of my function handler, after a bunch of async/await stuff.

Lambda has a context object:
"callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop"

From their docs:
"Set to false to send the response right away when the callback runs, instead of waiting for the Node.js event loop to be empty. If this is false, any outstanding events continue to run during the next invocation."

Anyway, removing the callback at the end of the function worked. I think lambda was executing the callback without waiting for the inner await'd functions to finish, which killed the running processes and prevented the updates from happening.

Does "Try" run with a different context object than a scheduled function?

Hi,
Ok I added a fix to handle them even if they're string instead of integers. It will be pushed in production tonight.

Hello @Daniel-Mulroy ,

Dropdown & Dropdown Multi Field Type are only in Cloud DB UI.
To enter content inside you have to create lists and assign a list to the column :

Then you'll be able to select items from your list

It seems you think linked fields and dropdowns are the same but they aren't.

Linked fields are as their name suggest fields linked to another table Dropdowns are lists you manually create allowing users to select values from it. It can be used only in Cloud DB UI

It seems it's the best solution for what you're trying to achieve

@Academy-for-Certification-Training-Ltd I posted too quickly, didn't even think about that!

I do see that when you sync it down, you have a 'config file' (api.json) with the relevant metadata.

Here's a sample:

"appId": "abcd-1234", "funcs": { "/": [ // filepath { "id": 1234, // function ID "name": "myGreatFunction", function Name "description": "", "type": "nodejs12.x", "contentType": "FILE", "method": "PUT", "ram": 128, "timeout": 15, "output": "JSON" }, //etc.

My suggestion is, maybe the fs pull can (either by default or with an arg) write the APIs in the correct folder structure, with the function names.

Then, when uploading, it can match the filenames/paths with the JSON config file in order to upload it back to the server in the right place.

This is a huge difference between something like AppDrag and Netlify or others. I love AppDrag but I'm spending a LOT of time trying to do simple things like sync my code to gitHub or work effectively locally in VS Code without copy/pasting code by hand back and forth.

@Daniel-Mulroy said in Rotating/Changing API Key:

Thanks @Wassim that helps.

Does that mean the environment vars are 'hardcoded' into the version of the script that is published?

more info here :
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-envvars.html

You define environment variables on the unpublished version of your function. When you publish a version, the environment variables are locked for that version along with other version-specific configuration.

Hello,

It depends what you want to achieve but you can seamlessly upload the dist folder from an npm run build to AppDrag with the CLI.

I suggest you to create a publish npm rule that would do the build and CLI push if build succeeded

Hello,

As your function runtime is under AWS Lambda you can use it to debug locally your functions.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-sam-cli-using-invoke.html

@Wassim said in Is the AppDrag function name (or URL?) available from within an API Function?:

Seems a very good and practical way to do it. You can also manually define it in your API functions while setting sentry up no?

Yes, I could, but I'm looking for reusable / template code I can copy/paste very quickly between functions and/or use in my template library... so I don't want to think about it each time, just want it to work every time 🙂

For reference, here's my final code to get the function name both during testing "Try" in CloudBackend and also when the function is called 'normally':

module.exports.getFunctionInfo = (event, context) => { let fInfo = {}; // Try to extrapolate function info // sometimes the from-url is not available, so wrapping this in a try/catch block try { const httpMethods = ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", "PATCH"]; var functionHandle = event.HEADERS['from-url'].split('/').slice(-1)[0]; // Get from URL if it's been called from the web for (let method of httpMethods) { // Get from parameters if it's been called from "Try" method, because above method will not work. Could also ignore errors if running from Try Now as they are likely development errors.... if (event[method] && event[method].APPDRAG_FUNCTION_NAME != null) functionHandle = event[method].APPDRAG_FUNCTION_NAME; } fInfo.functionHandle = functionHandle; } catch (e) { fInfo.functionHandle = ""; } fInfo.functionVersion = context.functionVersion; fInfo.functionName = context.functionName; return fInfo; };

Hello @Daniel-Mulroy ,

Thing promised thing due :), Here is the article.
I hope that answers what you are looking for.

Do not hesitate if you have questions.

Thanks and have a nice day

@Wassim good enough for me for now 🙂

Hi, you're welcome!
I think we can definitely add a shortcut on the section to access the menu settings when it contains one.

yes please I second this...would be so good 😉

Hi Daniel,
This is not a bug, you can't miss auto-generated PageBuilder forms with CloudBackend inputs.

Perhaps for some, but Twilio and G-Suite, for example, I can add someone as a billing contact that receives copies of the invoices and is able to log in and change payment details, download past invoices, etc.

Hello,
Exactly, thanks to you for finding this issue!
This has been corrected, it will be live tomorrow.

Hi,

I think you can do a lot through the pagebuilders and mix with embed code to put your value sliders.

Not sure about setting it by default on the Pagebuilder as I rarely see those inputs used on websites. It's way more frequent custom Js library that gives more customization and unified design across all browsers/devices.

Bravo! 🤙 😊

Hi Daniel,
I've placed in a full line (one column) without any padding or margin... Just in a line on top of top of the blog Article list 4.
I don't know.
I'll investigate further later.
Thanks for your help Daniel.

@Daniel-Mulroy proper documentation of source code is really helpful and the easier this can be done, the better. Can also be helpful when looking up where certain pieces of code are being used.

Brilliant !

I'll give this a try.

Hello,

Short answer : https://caniuse.com/jpeg2000

Long answer : I don't think you can use jpeg2000 format you should maybe aim to .webp and to use it is not just setting the src image. Look at this codepen.

https://codepen.io/jeremyfrank/pen/pjmJyg

Second question :
The image optimizer resizes and compress your image to take less space and improve your page loading speed.

Hi,
Do you have a step by step procedure to replicate the issue you encountered?
Tried multiple scenarios with no errors. It worked as expected.

Thanks Joseph,

I've added it manually per your recommendation. Merci!

Three cheers to Joseph!
💃 👷 😊

Hello,

They are the 5 blog templates/layout we provide by default it's not customizable.

I suggest you two ways to work on your blog a very customizable way :

1 - Create a non published article that you will use as your template and copy paste it (as format is conserved) if you need to work on the same basis.

2 - Only use titles and paragraphs and don't change font-family, font-size, etc here but do it in your pagebuilder blog article details page using CSS so you're 100% sure it's consistent between your different articles.

Thanks so much! I can confirm it seems like it's working on my end!

In fact we have a much larger allowance on AWS SES (few hundreds per sec) and it's shared by all appdrag customers.
I'll check but I don't think we have any hard limit per user on our side.

Hey Daniel, we do have this option 🙂

When you edit a cloud function, there is a checkbox to tell if you want to include it in the documentation or not 😉

@Daniel-Mulroy In fact not, each time you add/remove a dependency it will redownload/reinstall all the NPM deps ...
It's only if you do NO changes at all (no add, no remove of package, so in fact nothing ...) that the deps are not rebuilt 😉

About updating package across all functions, this is clearly an Anti-Pattern in Serverless!
each micro service must be completely independant and not affected by changes of other functions
