About GraphQL - Downside



Web caching complexity


File uploading. Since GraphQL doesn’t understand files, a file uploading feature is not included in its specification. You won’t have to deal with this limitation in case of REST, as there you can POST or PUT whatever content you want to.

To allow file uploads in your GraphQL web app, there are several options:
  • using Base64 encoding. But it will make the request larger and expensive to encode/decode.
  • making a separate API endpoint just for this purpose.
  • using a library like Apollo for implementing the GraphQL multipart request specification.
uploadFileToS3: combineResolvers(
// isAuthenticated,
async (parent, args, { models }) => {
const { file } = await args
const { createReadStream, filename, mimetype, encoding } = await file
const stream = createReadStream()
const result = await uploadFileToS3(filename, stream)
return result
}
),

for loop in javascript - promise - .eslintrc for "for of"

the vast majority of cases  map ,  forEach ,  find  etc. can be used.  async function printFiles () { const files = await getFilePaths(); await Promise.all(files. map (async (file) => { const contents = await fs.readFile(file, 'utf8') console.log(contents) })); } const inventory = [ { name : 'apples' , quantity : 2 } , { name : 'bananas' , quantity : 0 } , { name : 'cherries' , quantity : 5 } ] ; const result = inventory . find ( ( { name } ) => name === 'cherries' ) ;   function getFirstMatching(array) { for (let item of array) { const result = heavyTransform(item); if (result) { return result; } } } Specifically this shuts down the whole no-restricted-syntax. If you want to cherry-pick, here is the current definition: 'no-restricted-syntax' : [ 'error' , { selector : 'ForInStatement' , message...

fs.writeFile - permission issue on GCP (Google Cloud Run)

error on this: fs . writeFile ( fileName , pdfBytes , err => { if ( err ) { console . log ( err . message ) reject ( err . message ) } else resolve ( fileName ) }) #1 It looks like when deployed into Cloud Run it also requires the extra permission "Service Account Token Creator" to run  getSignedUrl . Locally for some reason this role is not required. #2 Only the directory  /tmp  is writable in Cloud Run. So, change the default write location to write into this directory. However, you have to be aware of 2 things: Cloud Run is stateless, that means when a new instance is created, the container start from scratch, with an empty  /tmp  directory /tmp  directory is an in-memory file system. The maximum allowed memory on Cloud Run is 2Gb, your app memory footprint included. In addition of your file and Airflow, not sure that you will have a lot of space. A final remark. Cloud Run is active only when it...
