In extjs how to globally handle errors - error-handling

I am working in Extjs 4.1. I want to know is there anything available that can globally handle errors all over the entire application and how to implement such error handling in extjs.

What kind of errors you are trying to handle globally. If you want to handle ajax errors globally yes you can do it like below
Ext.Ajax.on('requestexception', function (conn, response, options) {
if(response.timedout){
// handle time out
}
else if (response.status != 404) {
}
});

Abort an Updates.fetchUpdateAsync() after a certain time [Expo/React native]

Expo React Native SDK Version: 46
Platforms: Android/iOS
Package concerned : Expo.Updates
Hello everyone, I want to programmatically check for new updates, without using the fallbackToCacheTimeout in app.json that will trigger the check of the new updates when the application is launched because like that I can't put a custom loading page.
So by doing this all by code as follow :
try{
const update = await Updates.checkForUpdateAsync();
if(update.isAvailable){
await Updates.fetchUpdateAsync();
await Updates.reloadAsync();
}else{}
}catch(err){}
But I want to be able to abort all those calls after a certain time (thus, the user that have a bad connection can use the app without waiting a very long time).
I check the documentation and I cannot found any method that allow this.
I dont't think it's possible to cancel a Promise for now in Javascript, or maybe any connection ?
Or does the "fallbackToCacheTimeout" value in the app.json will automatically apply to the fetch updates call of the Expo API?
Do someone have any idea how to do it ? :(
First of all I am assuming you have set updates.checkautomatically field to ON_ERROR_RECOVERY in app.json or app.config.js file. If not, please check the documentation. The reason why you need this is to avoid automatic updates which can also block your app on splash screen.
Updated Solution
Because of the limitation in javascript we can't cancel any external Promise (not created by us or when its reject method is not exposed to us). Also the function fetchUpdateAsync exposed to us is not a promise but rather contains fetch promise and returns its result.
So, here we have two options:
Cancel reloading the app to update after a timeout.
But note that updates will be fetched in background and stored on
the device. Next time whenever user restarts the app, update will
be installed. I think this is just fine as this approach doesn't
block anything for user and also there is a default timeout for http
request clients like fetch and axios so, request will error out in
case of poor/no internet connection.
Here is the code:
try {
const update = await Updates.checkForUpdateAsync();
if (update.isAvailable) {
const updateFetchPromise = Updates.fetchUpdateAsync();
const timeoutInMillis = 10000; // 10 seconds
const timeoutPromise = new Promise((_, reject) => setTimeout(() => reject("timedout"), timeoutInMillis))
// This will return only one Promise
Promise.race([updateFetchPromise, timeoutPromise])
.then(() => Updates.reloadAsync())
.catch((error) => {
if (error === 'timedout') {
// Here you can show some toast as well
console.log("Updates were not cancelled but reload is stopped.")
} else if (error === 'someKnownError') {
// Handle error
} else {
// Log error and/or show a toast message
}
})
} else {
// Perform some action when update is not available
}
} catch (err) {
// Handle error
}
Change the expo-updates package just for your app using a patch
Here you can return a cancel method with Updates.fetchUpdateAsync() and use it with setTimeout to cancel the fetch request. I won't be providing any code for this part but if you are curious I can definitely provide some help.
Please refer this section to understand use of fallbackToCacheTimeout in eas updates.
Old solution:
Now, for aborting or bypassing the promise i.e. Updates.fetchUpdateAsync in your case. You can basically throw an Error in setTimeout after whatever time duration you want, so that, catch block will be executed, bypassing the promises.
Here is the old code :
try{
const update = await Updates.checkForUpdateAsync();
if(update.isAvailable){
// Throw error after 10 seconds.
const timeout = setTimeout(() => { throw Error("Unable to fetch updates. Skipping..") }, 10000)
await Updates.fetchUpdateAsync();
// Just cancel the above timeout so, no error is thrown.
clearTimeout(timeout)
await Updates.reloadAsync();
}else{}
}catch(err){}

React native custom internet phone call

I have a 3 part question from important to less important:
Does someone know if there is a package to do phone calls trough the internet as Whatsapp and Facebook do?
Would it even be possible to do it without a phone number?
For example, only knowing someone's device id.
And can you even make your "ring page" custom? So adding functionalities while calling.
Thank you in advance!
Yes this is possible. There are plenty of ways to attack this but I would recommend using a React Native wrapper for Twilio (https://github.com/hoxfon/react-native-twilio-programmable-voice).
import TwilioVoice from 'react-native-twilio-programmable-voice'
// ...
// initialize the Programmable Voice SDK passing an access token obtained from the server.
// Listen to deviceReady and deviceNotReady events to see whether the initialization succeeded.
async function initTelephony() {
try {
const accessToken = await getAccessTokenFromServer()
const success = await TwilioVoice.initWithToken(accessToken)
} catch (err) {
console.err(err)
}
}
// iOS Only
function initTelephonyWithUrl(url) {
TwilioVoice.initWithTokenUrl(url)
try {
TwilioVoice.configureCallKit({
appName: 'TwilioVoiceExample', // Required param
imageName: 'my_image_name_in_bundle', // OPTIONAL
ringtoneSound: 'my_ringtone_sound_filename_in_bundle' // OPTIONAL
})
} catch (err) {
console.err(err)
}
For that approach I believe you have to have a phone number but you can build out the ui however you like.
If you are not into the Twilio approach, you can use pure JS libraries to do the trick such as SipJS.
There are also tutorials on Youtube which can lead you through the process like this.
I recommend you Voximplant, https://voximplant.com/docs/references/articles/quickstart,
it's easy to use and has clear documentation.

how to handle axios onError in nuxtjs plugin and show appropriate error message to user

I have a nuxt single page application. The api that I work with has a list of codes for various errors. So, in onError interceptor, the error has to be checked in a dictionary or in a more desired way in a json file. For this, I added a error-handler.js plugin in my nuxt project. But, I don't know how to read from json file.
1) Loading of the json file would occur every time an error thrown?
2) What is the best practice to show the error message to the user? Is this plugin only responsible to create the error-message and in the page try-catch is needed to toast that message?
export default function ({ $axios, store, app, redirect }) {
$axios.onError(error => {
if (error.config.hasOwnProperty('errorHandle') && error.config.errorHandle === false) {
return Promise.reject(error);
}
if (error.message === 'Network Error') {
error.message = 'check the Internet connection';
return
}
const code = parseInt(error.response && error.response.status)
if (error.response)
console.log('error.response', error.response.status, error.response)
if (error.response.data.Errors) {
let errMessage = ''
error.response.data.Errors.forEach(item => {
switch (item.Message.MessageText) {
case 'OrganizationNotFound':
errMessage = 'the organization that you are looking for does not exists'
break
}
})
}
}
}
In Nuxt, plugin code is loaded once or twice per user visit, after that in universal mode it is not executed (of course your onError handler will be). It's once if you make it a client/server-side only plugin, or twice if you need it both on client and server. In your case client-side only plugin sounds like a good choice - just make sure that loading of JSON goes outside of the onError function.
As for how to show it, it depends on your design. We are using Vuetify and have v-snackbar in default layout so it's on every page. Snackbar is bound to VueX value. Then your error plugin can populate that value as appropriate as it will have access to store. This keeps the "raising the error" (dispatch to store) and "showing the error" reasonably decoupled, whilst very reusable (components can also dispatch to store if they face a problem).

How to return error from Auth0 hooks

If I want to return custom error from Rules I simply do callback(new UnauthorizedError('Custom error message here')) but how do I do the same thing with Hooks?
callback('error message');
callback(new Error('error message'));
Those didn't worked and "UnauthorizedError" is undefined in Hooks. Whatever I do, on front-end side I always get "WE'RE SORRY, SOMETHING WENT WRONG WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SIGN UP." and when I inspect result of requested I see that there is no difference, each time "InternalExtensibilityError" comes.
Why do I want to return error from Hooks? I run extra validation for sign-up there.
Now it is possible to send custom error messages in hooks.
I extracted below code snippet from Auth0's documentation on hooks.
module.exports = function (user, context, cb) {
const isUserDenied = ...; // determine if a user should be allowed to register
if (isUserDenied) {
const LOCALIZED_MESSAGES = {
en: 'You are not allowed to register.',
es: 'No tienes permitido registrarte.'
};
const localizedMessage = LOCALIZED_MESSAGES[context.renderLanguage] || LOCALIZED_MESSAGES['en'];
return cb(new PreUserRegistrationError('Denied user registration in Pre-User Registration Hook', localizedMessage));
}
};
Here is the original link (https://auth0.com/docs/hooks/extensibility-points/pre-user-registration)
At the moment, returning custom errors from hooks to the top-level API, /dbconnections/signup in this case is not possible in Auth0. This is documented in the bottom of this page.
Note that Hooks is still in Beta, and this enhancement request is one of the most asked for features and it is currently in our backlog. We cannot give an ETA for this yet. You can submit your feedback to the Product here.

Express handling CSRF error

How can I implement a custom error handler in Express using CSRF middleware after users click the back button in browser and resubmit the form? By default Express return a 403 page with lots of stack traces. I want to replace it by for example redirecting user to a custom error page. How can I do that?
Here are some examples of writing custom error handlers in Express: https://github.com/visionmedia/express/blob/master/examples/error-pages/index.js
Here are the custom error handlers I use: Error handling in an Express route
You might also want to consider modifying connect to return a different code than 403 when CSRF fails. You can change it here: https://github.com/senchalabs/connect/blob/master/lib/middleware/csrf.js#L82
You might choose 428 Precondition Required. The full list is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes
That way, you could have a special message shown only for CSRF failures.
Like any other well designed middleware csurf passes the error to next. So it's possible to react on the raised error in the following way:
var csurf = require('csurf')();
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
csurf(req, res, function (err) {
if (err) {
// do what ever with err
} else {
next();
}
});
});
