Error Handling ~ Sir this is a Wendy's

Demo: 🐰

Ideally, users will fill the web form with the correct information. However, people make mistakes. In this step, we will be implementing some form validation to make sure that a user has inputted text value before submitting their password.

✅ Task:

• [ ] Check you are on the bunnimage-frontend branch
• [ ] Change your HTML form to accept multipart/form-data in index.html
• [ ] Add a file input to index.html that accepts image/x-png,image/jpeg and add the attribute name=image
• [ ] Modify the getImage event handler function in index.js to create an alert if either the file input or the name input is null
• [ ] Modify the button so that it submits the form by changing its type attribute to "submit"
• [ ] Commit your updated code to bunnimage/index.html and bunnimage/script.js

🚧 Test your Work

Open up your LiveServer plugin and start your server.

:pencil: You have three test cases to try

1. **The "correct" way**: Submit both a file and text. Check that you receive "Thanks!" 2. **The "unexpected" way (file)**: Submit a file that is not png or jpeg. Does it work? 3. **The "unexpected" way (text input)**: Try submitting without entering a username. You should get an alert box that says "No name error."

Accepting Images as an Input

In HTML Forms, the enctype attribute specifies how the form-data should be encoded when submitting it to the server. Like we learned before, if we want to upload files, we need send form-data encoded as multipart/form-data

    <h1>Bunnimage</h1>
+    <form onsubmit="getImage(event)" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <label>Code: </label>

To add the image upload input, add an additional file input within the form

<form onsubmit="getImage(event)" enctype="multipart/form-data">
+   <input type="file" name="image"></input>
    <input id="name" type="text"  placeholder="Enter your file's name">

Input Validation?

We need to validate two things.

:one: The image is either in the .png or .jpeg format

The HTML `` accept Attribute specifies a filter for what file types the user can pick from the file input dialog box. The accept attribute can only be used with . ```diff

+ ```

:two: The text box isn't empty

To validate that the name isn't null, check if `document.getElementById("username").value` isn't empty, to change the `output` div to "Thanks!", or display an `alert("No name error.")` > :bulb: **Hint**: Use your JavaScript conditional skills!

Week 4 Step 3 ⬤⬤⬤◯◯◯◯ | 🕐 Estimated completion: 20-25 minutes

Making fetch Happen

Demo: 🐰

We are going to how use the form to call our Azure Function! Yay :tada:! Things are coming together.

✅ Task:

• [ ] Modify useImage() function with await fetch to send the form input to your Bunnimage Azure Function
• [ ] If the upload was successful, change the output div to Your image has been stored successfully!
• [ ] Modify your CORS settings in your function app so your frontend can make requests.
• [ ] Commit your updated code to bunnimage/script.js to the bunnimage-frontend branch

🚧 Test your Work

Open up your LiveServer plugin and start your local server. To test your web app:

:one: Upload an image and click submit. Do you get a "Your image has been stored successfully!" message?

:two: Log into your Azure portal and navigate to your storage account. In your container, do you see your image?

How do I call the Azure Function?

The Fetch API is built in to Javascript to make HTTP requests (using GET, POST and other methods), download, and upload files.

:bulb: We don't have to install node-fetch as an npm package since fetch is built into JavaScript. Remember: we were using NodeJS before.

To start a request, call the special function fetch():

const response = await fetch(resource, options);

Fetch accepts two arguments:

• resource: the URL string, or a Request object
• options: the configuration object with properties like method, headers, body, credentials, and more.

:question: What does fetch exactly do?

`fetch()` starts a request and returns a promise. When the request completes, the promise is resolved with the Response object. **If the request fails due to some network problems, the promise is rejected.** > Keep this in mind if your function throws a promise error!

How to configure "options"

In order to pass the type of method, the payload in the pody, and headers, you have to configure the "options" part of the fetch function.

const response = await fetch(resource, {
+   method: ... ,
+   body: ... , 
+   headers: { ... }
});

Fill in the method, headers and body with the correct information compatible with your API!

:bulb: Refer back to previous Fetch requests we made in NodeJS for hints. Remember for this request, we are not receiving JSON!

How to validate that the upload worked

We need to let the users know if the upload was successful! We do this by making sure we receive a response from our upload API:

❗ Use a "try...catch"

A [`try...catch`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/try...catch) is what it sounds like - it catches errors. This makes for a better user experience and is crucial to error handling. ```js try { // Try receiving data from your fetch request // Change the output div's value } catch (e) { // If an error occurred, tell the user! } ```

Update CORS Settings

CORS (Cross-origin resource sharing) settings tells the Function App what domains can make requests to the Azure Functions.

:exclamation: How can I change it?

Head to your function app in your portal and find the button on the left hand side called `CORS`. 

:question: What should I change it to?

Change it to a wildcard operator (`*`), which allows *all* origin domains to make requests. > :bulb: Be sure to remove any other existing inputs before attempting to save with wildcard. **Don't forget to save your changes!**

Downloading your image!

Demo: 🐰

Write and connect a JS file to make a GET request to the download Azure function that includes the codename to receive the link. Edit the button on the HTML page so that it downloads the file when clicked.

✅ Task:

• [ ] Make sure you're on the bunnimage-frontend branch
• [ ] Add an attribute of id with the value button1 onto the upload button
• [ ] Create a new input field with an id of downloadusername and create a button with an id of button2 that calls the function downloadImage() in index.html
• [ ] Create the downloadImage() function with a await fetch GET request to send downloadusername to your Bunnimage Azure Function to return the file download uri
• [ ] If the fetch was successful, open the file download link using window.open() and make sure it replaces the page instead of opening a new tab.
• [ ] Commit your updated code to bunnimage/index.html and bunnimage/script.js

🚧 Test your Work

Open up your LiveServer plugin and start your local server. To test your web app:

⚠️ Type in the username for an image you have uploaded previously. Does the download button link to your file?

Opening a link

window.open() is fairly straightforward to use. Here's the syntax:

window.open(URL, name, specs, replace)

We will only be using URL and name. Use this documentation to fill it in.
