How to edit html file on every save

@Tray2 i mean to say a token is stored in database and i want that the file will replace itself by that token everytime we call ajax for commit file on git

@laksh why not just use php to set the token dynamically?

		"sign-up-modal" style="display: none;">
     src="https://wd.supracrm.com/sign-up-form?token={{$token}}"
        crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

@Sinnbeck in my case there is particular token for every entry on table so i want that whenever i clicked on list view the token related to that id will set there

will it work like that?

@laksh you write code in the controller so send the correct token to the view

@Sinnbeck but this file is not stored in my view this is a random file which is located into a different folder so how will i set the token in it

@laksh sorry I'm really unsure what you are trying? Any reason for not just having it in a view?

@Sinnbeck because it is not a view file that file is which i have to upload on git only after replacing token and else there is no work of this file

What happens if two users click the button at once with different tokens? Random who gets the file committed?

@Sinnbeck no only single user will click button at a time not more than one users

Ok I will give you the steps, but I cannot guarantee that it will be problem free

1. Give the server git user push privileges
2. Create a template version of the file
3. Write some php that loads the template, replaces the token and overwrite the real file
4. Use this to run git add and git commit and git push https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/process.html

@Sinnbeck sorry, i don't understand what you mean to say

@laksh which part?

@Sinnbeck what is the reason behind server git user push privileges and where should i write php to load template and replace token?

@laksh uploading is git push

a file will uploaded to git repository

So you cannot "upload" unless you are allowed to push

And maybe do it either in the store method of that button, or dispatch it to a job?

@Sinnbeck ok, but what about token

@laksh what about it? Open the template, replace <REPLACE_TOKEN>with the actual token in the string, and save it to the real file

@Sinnbeck okk but i couldn't recognize any way for that

@laksh example

$content = file_get_contents('/path/to/template.html');
$content = str_replace('<REPLACE_TOKEN>', $token, $content);
file_put_contents('/path/to/real.html', $content);

@Sinnbeck i dont know why but it's giving error to me after i put path in file_get_contents that failed to open stream even the location is right

@laksh post what you have. Also make sure you have permission to write to the file (the web server user)

@Sinnbeck what should i post the code or the error?

@laksh why not both

@Sinnbeck here's my code

		public function onUploadGit(){
    
    $id = post()['id'];
    
    $attr = Named::find($id);
    
    $signup_id = $attr['signup_widget_id'];
    
    $signup_widget = Client::find($signup_id);
    
    $token = $signup_widget['token'];
    
    $content = file_get_contents('/supracrm/plugins/bm/brand/clientPortalFiles/index.html');
    
    $content = str_replace('<REPLACE_TOKEN>', $token, $content);
    
    $file = file_put_contents('supracrm/plugins/bm/brand/clientPortalFiles/index.html', $content);
    
    //$file = "plugins/bm/brand/clientPortalFiles/index.html";
    
    $name = $attr['brand'];
    
    $data = array(
        'sha' => file_get_contents("plugins/bm/brand/clientPortalFiles/sha.txt"),
        'message' => 'New File',
        'content' => base64_encode($file),
        'committer' => array(
            'name' => '',
            'email' => '',
        )
    );
    
    $data_string = json_encode($data);
    
    $url = "https://api.github.com/repos/laqsh11/demo/contents/'$name'/index.html";
    
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
    
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
    
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'Content-Type: application/json',
        'User-Agent: Awesome-Octocat-App',
        'Authorization: Bearer ghp_TsBwlcovecD0fnkfhrbfrh408QwUL'
    ));
    
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    
}

and here's the error which i get

		"file_get_contents(/supracrm/plugins/bm/brand/clientPortalFiles/index.html): failed to open stream: No such file or directory" on line 92 of D:\xampp\htdocs\supracrm\plugins\bm\brand\controllers\Brand.php

@laksh you are giving it a bad path. Just guessing here

$content = file_get_contents(base_path('/supracrm/plugins/bm/brand/clientPortalFiles/index.html')); 

https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/helpers#method-base-path

@Sinnbeck the token is replacing now but file is not uploading into git and also not getting any error

@laksh it seems that you want to upload it with curl? Where did you read about that?

@Sinnbeck about file upload with curl?

@laksh about uploading files to git. I assume there is some error in that implementation. I have never used it so I cannot really give suggestions

@Sinnbeck okk i saw it from here https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/24723 for uploading file on git

@laksh ok. Well get that working and I assume all is well?

Just noticed that you are trying to upload the number of bytes written ? https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php

'content' => base64_encode($content), 

I also assume this path is wrong

file_get_contents("plugins/bm/brand/clientPortalFiles/sha.txt") 

@Sinnbeck no i changed that path but it doesn't changes anything after i changed the path

@laksh show what you have now. Did you change the content like I showed you?

@Sinnbeck

public function onUploadGit(){

    $id = post()['id'];
    
    $attr = Named::find($id);
    
    $signup_id = $attr['signup_widget_id'];
    
    $signup_widget = Client::find($signup_id);
    
    $token = $signup_widget['token'];
    
    $content = file_get_contents(base_path('\plugins\bm\brand\clientPortalFiles\index.html'));
    
    $file = str_replace('<REPLACE_TOKEN>', $token, $content);
    //dd($file);
    //$file = file_put_contents(base_path('\plugins\bm\brand\clientPortalFiles\index.html'), $content);
    
    //$file = "plugins/bm/brand/clientPortalFiles/index.html";
    
    $name = $attr['brand'];
    
    $data = array(
        'sha' => file_get_contents(base_path('\plugins\bm\brand\clientPortalFiles\sha.txt')),
        'message' => 'New File',
        'content' => base64_encode($file),
        'committer' => array(
            'name' => 'laqsh11',
            'email' => '[email protected]',
        )
    );
    
    $data_string = json_encode($data);
    
    $url = "https://api.github.com/repos/laqsh11/demo/contents/'$name'/index.html";
    
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
    
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
    
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    
    $authorization = "Authorization: Bearer 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";
    
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'Content-Type: application/json',
        'User-Agent: Awesome-Octocat-App',
        'Authorization: Bearer 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'
    ));
    
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    
}

@laksh so you didn't change it? Look at my previous post for the fix

'content' => base64_encode($file), //sends number of bytes, not content 

@Sinnbeck sorry, i couldn't understand as you see i changed the name of str_replace from $content to $file and i don't want to use file_put_contents because it saves the token in the file and i don't want to save it i just want to replace and upload it to git

@laksh ah ok. Then dd() the result to see what response you get?

@Sinnbeck if i dd() results then i got false in preview

and if i dd() file content then in preview it gives me the file code which got the updated token

@laksh sounds like you get an error. Check that error https://stackoverflow.com/a/3987037

@Sinnbeck that's the error which i got after that

Request Error:Failed to connect to api.github.com port 443: Timed out{"X_OCTOBER_ASSETS":{"js":

@laksh can you get to the page from your computer at all? https://api.github.com/

No clue why it times out

@Sinnbeck yeah the page is opening in my computer

@laksh ok. Seems that you need to spend some time on Google to find out why github api gives timeout with xampp. I don't own a windows pc so I cannot test myself

@Sinnbeck i got the error it gives that error because it is verying https connection so i added that CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST in the curl request now that error is resolved but the file is not uploading and it gives me some html form in response

@laksh ok. And that html data tells you nothing?

@Sinnbeck not at all but i think it says that Invalid Request according to me there is an error of file in curl request

@laksh I'm not sure what you expect me to do? But invalid request at least gives you something to work with

@Sinnbeck it says the file name does not match i don't know why this error will pop

@laksh most likely as don't have a directory with ' in the name?

Removed

$url = "https://api.github.com/repos/laqsh11/demo/contents/$name/index.html";

@Sinnbeck it doesn't affect

@laksh maybe hardcore the url until you get it working

@Sinnbeck yeah its working when i put folder name hardcore

@laksh great. So it's finally solved I suppose?

@Sinnbeck yeah solved it Thanks
