Another very common task in modern websites and applications is retrieving individual data items from the server to update sections of a webpage without having to load an entire new page. This seemingly small detail has had a huge impact on the performance and behavior of sites, so in this article, we'll explain the concept and look at technologies that make it possible: in particular, the Fetch API.

The main API here is the Fetch API. This enables JavaScript running in a page to make an HTTP request to a server to retrieve specific resources. When the server provides them, the JavaScript can use the data to update the page, typically by using DOM manipulation APIs. The data requested is often JSON, which is a good format for transferring structured data, but can also be HTML or just text.
To speed things up even further, some sites also store assets and data on the user's computer when they are first requested, meaning that on subsequent visits they use the local versions instead of downloading fresh copies every time the page is first loaded. The content is only reloaded from the server when it has been updated.
This series of files will act as our fake database; in a real application, we'd be more likely to use a server-side language like PHP, Python, or Node to request our data from a database. Here, however, we want to keep it simple and concentrate on the client-side part of this.
So because fetch() returns a promise, we pass a function into the then() method of the returned promise. This method will be called when the HTTP request has received a response from the server. In the handler, we check that the request succeeded, and throw an error if it didn't. Otherwise, we call response.text(), to get the response body as text.
You cannot read server side data through Javascript unless you have a connection to the server. Whatever Javascript code that runs on the client's browser will remain on their browser only, even if both are ran on the same computer. What you need is a way to make the client (in this case, the html+javascript website) communicate with the server.
When working in these environments, it's helpful to think of the flow of the code in your application as unidirectional. In other words, during a response, your application code flows in one direction: from the server to the client.
If you need to access the server from the client, you send a new request to the server rather than re-use the same request. This makes it easier to understand where to render your components and where to place the Network Boundary.
When you view a webpage in your browser, you are making a request to another computer on the internet, which then provides you the webpage as a response. That computer you are talking to via the internet is a web server. A web server receives HTTP requests from a client, like your browser, and provides an HTTP response, like an HTML page or JSON from an API.
A lot of software is involved for a server to return a webpage. This software generally falls into two categories: frontend and backend. Front-end code is concerned with how the content is presented, such as the color of a navigation bar and the text styling. Back-end code is concerned with how data is exchanged, processed, and stored. Code that handles network requests from your browser or communicates with the database is primarily managed by back-end code.
As mentioned before, web servers accept requests from browsers and other clients. We may interact with a web server by entering a domain name, which is translated to an IP address by a DNS server. An IP address is a unique sequence of numbers that identify a machine on a network, like the internet. For more information on domain name concepts, take a look at our An Introduction to DNS Terminology, Components, and Concepts article.
The response we return from a web server can take a variety of formats. JSON and HTML were mentioned before, and we can also return other text formats like XML and CSV. Finally, web servers can return non-text data like PDFs, zipped files, audio, and video.
It depends on how complex your use-case is. If you need the Javascript variable to go through any logic on the server, then checkout LiveView Javascript Hooks, which work very well and you can create GenServer-like LiveControllers that react to client events. Most of the boilerplate is already setup in the included LiveView javascript.
We start by rendering the synchronous content and rendering placeholders on async boundaries. Many libraries already have methods to do this with Suspense or Await tags. Then, when the data returns from the async request, you render the content on the server and send it along to the page after the previous content in a with display: none. We then write a tag to insert the new nodes where the placeholder is and to bootstrap the serialized data for hydration. When all async data is complete we send the end of the page and close the stream.
The main point where we are stuck is to figure out if delegation identities can be generated on the server where the private keys reside and share with different client devices for making calls to the IC network with the expectation that the IC canister sees the same principal from calls from different client devices.
Hi!
I've tried to read up on the doc/previous threads here, but couldn't quite figure this one out..
So, I'm building a web application in which I want an image gallery served from a specific Dropbox directory folder on my personal Dropbox. The web app communicates with a Nodejs server that I am also building. The two services are linked together today and I have an existing authentication flow for signing in.
Now, I have some POC functionality on my server which can deliver the Dropbox content that I want by using the Javascript SDK. The problem is that this solution requires an access token - which I've generated in my Dropbox app console - that keeps expiring.
My question is: is there a way to generate Dropbox access tokens on my server without having to integrate the whole OAuth flow into my existing login procedure. Ideally, I'd like to keep my login as is, and then have the server generate a the access token, from my DROPBOX_APP_KEY and DROPBOX_APP_SECRET, after successful login.
It's not possible to programmatically generate an access token without first using the OAuth app authorization flow, such as just from the app key and secret. The app authorization flow only needs to be done once per account though.
Dropbox API is used to establish connection in whatever context (either users context or your own only). When you're using Dropbox as server-side service you can safely use your own account only as well as user's accounts. On client side (web browser) it's not advisable single account (i.e. your own or any other) sharing - matter of security. In such cases only user's account should be used.
Shiny was designed with an emphasis on distinct input and output components in the UI. Inputs send values from the client to the server, and when the server has values for the client to display, they are received and rendered by outputs.
Communication from JavaScript to R works by setting a reactive input. While this is normally done using an input binding, you can skip all the ceremony and directly send a reactive input value to R with this JavaScript function:
Only mutate the DOM with JavaScript (JS) when the object doesn't interact with Blazor. Blazor maintains representations of the DOM and interacts directly with DOM objects. If an element rendered by Blazor is modified externally using JS directly or via JS Interop, the DOM may no longer match Blazor's internal representation, which can result in undefined behavior. Undefined behavior may merely interfere with the presentation of elements or their functions but may also introduce security risks to the app or server.
If you must clean up your own JS objects or execute other JS code on the client after a circuit is lost, use the MutationObserver pattern in JS on the client. The MutationObserver pattern allows you to run a function when an element is removed from the DOM.
Documentation examples place scripts into a tag or load global scripts from external files. These approaches pollute the client with global functions. Placing JavaScript into separate JavaScript modules that can be imported when needed is not supported in Blazor earlier than ASP.NET Core 5.0. If the app requires the use of JS modules for JS isolation, we recommend using ASP.NET Core 5.0 or later to build the app. For more information, use the Version dropdown list to select a 5.0 or later version of this article and see the JavaScript isolation in JavaScript modules section.
