ProCode backend logic- Typescript

ProCode backend logic- Typescript

1 Context:

🧠
In this example, we will implement our own TypeScript backend function that looks up and returns the weather at a specific point on the globe; for this task, we will create a new endpoint in our TypeScript Node server (Nano)

2 Step by step guide:

  1. In your ProCode Workspace create a new folder src/nano/src/service/training/
  2. Create a new file in that folder src/nano/src/service/training/getweather.ts
  3. Add an empty function to the file:
    4. import type { HandlerArgs, Result } from '@/core/handler/handler.types';
import { successResult, errorResult } from '@/core/handler/handler.utils';
import { http } from '@/core/http/http.utils';
import { addService } from '@/core/service/service.utils';

interface Query {}

export async function getweather(args: HandlerArgs<Query>): Promise<Result> {
  
}

// register the service into nano
addService({ path: __filename, handler: getweather });
  4. Add the logic to fetch the data and return it to the function:
    5. interface Query {
  lat: string;
  lon: string;
}

export async function getWeather(args: HandlerArgs<Query>): Promise<Result> {
  try {
    const { lat = '52', lon = '7.6' } = args.query;
    const url = `https://api.brightsky.dev/weather?lat=${lat}&lon=${lon}&date=2023-04-05`;
    const { data } = await http.get(url);
    return successResult({ message: 'All good!', data });
  } catch (error) {
    return errorResult({
      message: 'Not so good!',
      errorCode: error?.code ?? 'unknown',
    });
  }
}
  5. The Nano server will automatically detect these changes and make them available without any additional actions; you can now call the service from the browser with the following call:
    6. b1.v1.App.invokeServerTask({
	name: "training/getweather",
  methodType: "nano",
  paramObj: { query: { lat: 52, lon: 10 } }
})

Full Code Example:

import type { HandlerArgs, Result } from '@/core/handler/handler.types';
import { successResult, errorResult } from '@/core/handler/handler.utils';
import { http } from '@/core/http/http.utils';
import { addService } from '@/core/service/service.utils';

interface Query {
  lat: string;
  lon: string;
}

export async function getWeather(args: HandlerArgs<Query>): Promise<Result> {
  try {
    const { lat = '52', lon = '7.6' } = args.query;
    const url = `https://api.brightsky.dev/weather?lat=${lat}&lon=${lon}&date=2023-04-05`;
    const { data } = await http.get(url);
    return successResult({ message: 'All good!', data });
  } catch (error) {
    return errorResult({
      message: 'Not so good!',
      errorCode: error?.code ?? 'unknown',
    });
  }
}

addService({ path: __filename, handler: getWeather });

☝
The TypeScript backend functions allow you full access to a Node server, where you can implement any logic required. From simple tasks to complex calculations.
