I have created a bash script to generate a JSON file that needs to be parsed and sent to the client-side JavaScript for display. My goal is to achieve this without refreshing the page and without using jQuery. I attempted to use Axios but seem to be facing challenges.
Despite my Ajax request, I am unable to reach my NodeJs function or load the file even though it is a direct path. It seems like everything would work if only the function could run properly.
I've been grappling with this issue for about a week now, and I just can't seem to grasp these AJAX requests. If anyone can provide assistance along with a detailed explanation, that would be greatly appreciated.
function digIt() {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
if(xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 200) {
document.getElementById('mapSection').innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
} else {
alert(xhr.statusText);
}
};
xhr.open('GET', "./../../middleware/index.js", true);
console.log("done");
canYouDigIt(domain);
xhr.send();
};
This section contains my HTML code, which is written in Jade/Pug.
section(id="digToolWrapper")
form(id="digToolInput")
ul
li #[input(id="digTool" name="domain" type="text" placeholder="Can you dig it?")]#[input(id="whois" value="whois" type="button" onclick="digIt(domain)")]
Here's a glimpse of my middleware/index.js file.
const shell = require('shelljs');
function loggedOut(req, res, next) {
if (req.session && req.session.userId) {
return res.redirect('/profile');
}
return next();
}
function checkForbidden(req, res, next) {
if(! req.session.userId) {
var err = new Error("You are not authorized to view this page.");
err.status = 403
return next(err);
}
return next();
}
// Whois Bash Script!!!
function canYouDigIt(domain) {
shell.env["domain"] = domain;
shell.exec(digIt.sh)
console.log("here")
};
module.exports.canYouDigIt = canYouDigIt;
module.exports.checkForbidden = checkForbidden;
module.exports.loggedOut = loggedOut;
This is the script I'm attempting to run, for reference purposes to better understand what I'm trying to accomplish:
domain=google.com
aRecord=$(dig -t a +short $domain)
ipWhois=$(whois $aRecord | awk '/NetRange/,0'| cut -d\# -f 1)
server=$(host $aRecord)
mxRecord=$(dig -t mx +short $domain)
nsRecord=$(dig -t ns +short $domain)
txtRecord=$(dig -t txt +short $domain)
ptrRecord=$(dig -x ptr +short $aRecord)
whoisRecord=$(whois $domain | awk '/Domain Status|Registrant Organization|Registry Expiry Date|Registration Expiration Date|Registrar:/')
serverType=$(curl -iA . -s $domain | awk '/Server:/ {print $2}')
echo -e "{\n
\t \"domain\" :\n\"$domain\",\n
\t \"aRecord\" :\n\"$aRecord\",\n
\t \"ipWhois\" :\n\"$ipWhois\",\n
\t \"server\" :\n\"$server\",\n
\t \"mxRecord\" :\n\"$mxRecord\",\n
\t \"nsRecord\" :\n\"$nsRecord\",\n
\t \"txtRecord\" :\n\"$txtRecord\",\n
\t \"ptrRecord\" :\n\"$ptrRecord\",\n
\t \"whoisRecord\" :\n\"$whoisRecord\",\n
}" > ./whoisJson/whois$domain.json
