Seeking a straightforward solution to a seemingly basic question.
I am utilizing Angular's $http method with a GET request for a promise from a specific URL (URL_OF_INTEREST).
My server runs an express script server.js capable of handling GET requests.
server.js
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var stripe = require("stripe")("CUSTOM_TEST_TOKEN");
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
var port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
var router = express.Router();
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
var stripeToken = "CUSTOM_PAYMENT_TOKEN";
var charge = stripe.charges.create({
amount: 1100,
currency: "usd",
source: stripeToken,
description: "Example charge"
}, function(err, charge) {
if (err && err.type === 'StripeCardError') {
res.json(err);
} else {
res.json(charge);
}
});
});
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
next();
})
app.use('/api', router);
app.listen(port);
console.log('Magic happens on port ' + port);
Communicating with the URL_OF_INTEREST using an Angular GET method is done like this:
$http.get('URL_OF_INTEREST')
.success(
function(success){
console.log(success)
})
.error(
function(error){
console.log(error)
});
The fields amount, currency, source, and description need to be passed from the Angular client side application. How can this data transfer be accomplished and how can my express application receive this information?
