#Troubleshooting

#Incorrect Query

#Occurrence

This error occurs when you use attempt to access a query that isn't available.

#Common causes & solutions

Undeployed API

If the API associated to your APP isn't deployed, your APP won't be able to retrieve the query in the Analytics Manager.

Check if your API is deployed and deploy it if it isn't.

Typo in your query

Check if the fields in your query are written correctly and if they exist in the Analytics Manager.

#FAQ

#How to use a specific NodeJS version?

It is possible to specify the NodeJS version to use when building App by specifying in ./forepaas.json:

  "node": 14,

#How to format a value using an existing formatter?

// Leverage "turnover" as declared in ./config/formatter.json to format a given value
import { FpMeasure } from 'forepaas/formatter'
function formatValue(field, value) {
    let measure = new FpMeasure(field);
    return measure.setValue(value).toString();
}
console.log(formatValue("turnover", 100));

#How to use registered translations?

import FpTranslate from 'forepaas/translate'
console.log(FpTranslate("key_to_be_translated"})

#How to make a query and get its results outside a Chart?

import FpQueryBuilder from 'forepaas/query-builder'
   const query = {
      data: {
          fields: {
              date: ["min","max"]
          }
      }
    }
    let request = new FpQueryBuilder.FpQuery(query)
    request.compute().then((response) => {
      // display array of results from the query
      console.log(response.results)
      // displays the first item in results
      console.log(response.results[0])
      // get 'data' from 1st item and displays values
      let item= response.results[0].data
      console.log(item.date.min[0].value, item.date.max[0].value)
    })

#How to deploy a Simple Web App?

Sometimes it is needed to deploy a simple web app or using a different SDK.

App's code may be provided either through a ZIP file or a Git repository. It must provide at least:

• forepaas.json: minimal version described below
• package.json: minimal version described below
• production/: folder that will be the root of the website after deployment, the package.json file may contain a build command to make that folder

forepaas.json

 {
   "type": "app",
   "language": "js",
   "framework": "custom",
   "modules": {}
 }

package.json

 {
   "name": "app_name",
   "version": "1.0.0",
   "main": "index.js",
   "scripts": {
     "build": "echo no build to do"
   }
 }
