Is this a test for something that you are developing or are you trying to make a payment to someone yourself?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

I made a implementation in nodejs

#

in sandbox mode it worked fine too

#

when i receive the oxxo payment details in my frontend i extract the expiration date, number of reference and create a bar code using JsBarcode

lyric steeple Jul 22, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

And you are using just the number to create the barcode or are you using anything else?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

sorry for my bad english

lyric steeple Jul 22, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

Looking in to what needs to go in to that bar code

#

Your english is great, much better than my Spanish

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 7:50 PM

#

i'm using the 32 digit code that stripes gives me for the order created

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 7:51 PM

#

lyric steeple Your english is great, much better than my Spanish

thank u so much! i appreciate that

lyric steeple Jul 22, 2022, 8:01 PM

#

As far as I can tell, that number should be all that is turned in to the bar code.

#

I will ask my colleagues if they know about what might have happened here.

#

Do you have the Stripe ID (pi_123) of the payment that this happened with?

#

Also can you send me a direct message with the barcode that you created?

#

It looks like your code is generating the bar code of something slightly different from the bar code. When I decode it with online tools, I get a decimal number that ends in e+31 but when I generate my own barcode for your order number, it gets decoded as a normal 32 digit code.

#

Can you send me your snippet of code where you get the OXXO number from Stripe and generate your barcode?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 8:48 PM

#

Ok, i'm still getting the same result for the number, still working on it

#

in my backend side i'm working with the number such as it is (no problem with it) but when i catch it on the frontend that's when i'm getting the exponential one

#

i'm trying to re cast

lyric steeple Jul 22, 2022, 8:50 PM

#

Interesting. Can you try sending it as a string from your backend to your frontend?

#

That might make it safer from being represented like this. Also I am stepping out for the day but my colleague @last trellis can help you going forward, they may need a bit to catch up but I send them the order details in case they need it.

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 8:52 PM

#

the curious thing is that i'm sending it as a string

#

but in frontend that's why i'm getting

last trellis Jul 22, 2022, 8:53 PM

#

👋 give me a few minutes to catch up as well

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 8:59 PM

#

i'm sorry, in this moment i'm getting into a meeting, can we resume this in a hour ?

last trellis Jul 22, 2022, 9:00 PM

#

sure! just let us knwo when you're back 👍

last trellis Jul 22, 2022, 9:17 PM

Did some digging - I think it has to do with how you're generating the barcode
@lyric steeple shared the link to your site with me internally, and it looks like you're doing this:

 JsBarcode("#barcode", `${46000864635096320220729000129634}`, {

when instead you should be doing

 JsBarcode("#barcode", `46000864635096320220729000129634`, {

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 10:25 PM

#

Hey there, thanks in advance, i'm back

#

I made the change you said i printed the value of the reference

#

#

But it's still the same

last trellis Jul 22, 2022, 10:27 PM

#

What does your exact code for generating the barcode look like?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

#

that console.log prints this

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

narrow needle

#

i don't understand why if i send it from the backend as a string then i'm receiving it as a number

#

so i was thinking by splitting the 32 digit code in 4 slices in my backend and joining them again in the frontend side as a string

#

but honestly i think that's a bad practice, isn't ?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 10:32 PM

#

narrow needle

this is how i send it from the backend

last trellis Jul 22, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

What do you get if you switch to using <%= instead of <%-

#

I'm not the most familiar with the subtly difference between all of them, but I think it is related to your usage of <%-

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

narrow needle

i'm getting the same result

#

exponential number:/

last trellis Jul 22, 2022, 10:44 PM

#

Can you tell me what the following does?

<script> 
  var number= <%= data.overdue.barcodeReference; %>
  console.log(number):
</script>

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

last trellis Jul 22, 2022, 10:56 PM

#

Can you try a couple of things for me?

Log out barcodeReference from your backend and tell me what you get
Hardcode a number on your backend for barcodeReference and share what you get in your console logs

Also just to confirm, are you using JSP?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:03 PM

#

this is what i get from the backend

#

if a hardcode a number (the same number) i get this

#

#

i'm using a ejs file, it's a template i'm using to present data to my customers

sick night Jul 22, 2022, 11:16 PM

#

Hello! I'm stepping in as @last trellis had to step away...

#

To clarify, you have a value in your Java code that you're trying to render into your JavaScript code using a JSP template?

#

And using <%= data.overdue.barcodeReference; %> is providing unexpected output which is wrapped in ${...} for some reason?

#

Can you try <% out.println("'" + data.overdue.barcodeReference + "'"); %> and see what output you get with that?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:27 PM

#

Hello Rubeus, thanks for being with me

#

I'm using nodejs as a backend and javascript in my frontend

sick night Jul 22, 2022, 11:27 PM

#

Oh, okay.

#

One sec.

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:28 PM

#

wait

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:28 PM

#

sick night Can you try `<% out.println("'" + data.overdue.barcodeReference + "'"); %>` and ...

this is helping

#

let me be sure

sick night Jul 22, 2022, 11:29 PM

#

It is? 😅

#

I wouldn't expect that to help unless you're using Java on the backend, not Node.

#

Can you try <%= "'" + data.overdue.barcodeReference + "'" %>?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:30 PM

#

yes, give me a minute

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:31 PM

#

sick night Can you try `<%= "'" + data.overdue.barcodeReference + "'" %>`?

this gives me 32 digit code still as a exponential

#

but if from te backend i send

#

it seems like it's working

sick night Jul 22, 2022, 11:32 PM

#

So where is reference being set?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

i got reference from the params of my request

#

but for some reason, if i send 'reference' from the backend to the frontend i receive it as a exponential, not as a string

#

so the bar code that i was trying to generate was a reference to the exponential and not the payment code

sick night Jul 22, 2022, 11:34 PM

#

So are you doing the ejs rendering client-side?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:35 PM

#

yes, sending data from the backend and rendering in frontend

sick night Jul 22, 2022, 11:35 PM

#

Okay, so on your backend in the handler for that request, how are you setting the data?

#

Is it a number or a string at that point?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:37 PM

#

sick night Okay, so on your backend in the handler for that request, how are you setting th...

yes

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:38 PM

#

sick night Is it a number or a string at that point?

i was printing the data in the backend and it was a string

#

but idk why in the front it was exponential

#

but your tip helped me

sick night Jul 22, 2022, 11:38 PM

#

Can you show me that backend code? The part that sets the value that gets sent to the client?

narrow needle Jul 22, 2022, 11:38 PM

#

now i think i'm getting the real reference

#

#

this is my back

#

before your help i was doing

barcodeReference: reference

and in the frontend it was an exponential

#

now with "'" + reference + "'" looks like its working

#

let me be sure

sick night Jul 22, 2022, 11:42 PM

#

So, wait, if I'm understanding that code you're getting the reference value from the incoming request, then returning it back? Why are you sending it back if the client already had it?

narrow needle Jul 23, 2022, 12:30 AM

#

because i'm sending it to a custom template for my customers

wooden hull Jul 23, 2022, 12:31 AM

#

but you already have it client-side, why not render it client-side?

#

But overall you seem to have figured out the issue

#

Really curious why you don't use Stripe's hosted page instead with the bar code and all

narrow needle Jul 23, 2022, 12:33 AM

#

wooden hull But overall you seem to have figured out the issue

yeah, it's solved now thanks for all your support

#

the company where i'm working has their own template to show payments orders to their clients

wooden hull Jul 23, 2022, 12:34 AM

#

yeah that's fair, but worth testing ours too, it's a lot less work

#

but glad you figure it out 🙂

narrow needle Jul 23, 2022, 12:37 AM

#

yeah i know, when i started to implement stripe i saw that template and is really useful

#

but here they wanted to show our own custom template because we already use it for other payments orders for others stores

#

like a "universal" template for everything

wooden hull Jul 23, 2022, 12:37 AM

#

gotcha

narrow needle Jul 23, 2022, 12:37 AM

#

Thank you so much to you all for your support

wooden hull Jul 23, 2022, 12:41 AM

#

Glad we could help 🙂
