Enable OneDrive API and get login credentials for backup

For the creation of the “App” and to obtain the access credentials to be used inside Iperius, go to the following link:  https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade

NB: Users who have previously created the App through the link https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/#/appList , they can find the Apps already registered and the client IDs unchanged on the Azure portal. This site has been deprecated, so we strongly suggest to delete the registered Apps and recreate them directly in the Azure portal.

Once authenticating in the Azure portal,  entering the One Drive credentials, click on “New Registration” in order to create a a new App:

Type in the “Name” of the application you are going to create, in the field “Supported account types” choose “Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory – Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox)”  and then in the field “Redirect URI” enter the code below:

urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob

Click on “Register”.

You will see the generated Application (client) ID that Iperius will use to authenticate itself and send backups to OneDrive through a secure connection.

From the side menu, click on “Authentication”, set “Live SDK Support” to “No” and click on “Save”.

OneDrive and OneDrive API

OneDrive is Microsoft cloud storage service. Initially born as a free service, it has over time turned into a complete platform for managing and sharing files online. Today OneDrive is also part of Office 365, the Microsoft cloud platform for document management, mail and other important services. In this case we talk about OneDrive for Business, a paid service with prices and plans that we can find on this page: https://onedrive.live.com/about/it-it/plans/

Iperius Backup can use the OneDrive platform to back up files in its online space, even with compression and AES 256-bit encryption. In addition, Iperius is also compatible with Office 365, specifically with the Exchange Online mail service, which can be backed up easily and efficiently locally.

In the context of interoperability with various software, websites and third-party services, OneDrive makes available the OneDrive API, which allows software such as Iperius to communicate with this service to send and download files. The OneDrive API documentation can be viewed on these official Microsoft website pages: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/?view=odsp-graph-online

Limitations

However, we would like to remind you that the OneDrive API has some limitations regarding the maximum file size. Restrictions and limitations regarding OneDrive can be found on this page: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/invalid-file-names-and-file-types-in-onedrive-onedrive-for-business-and-sharepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa#individualfilesize

Understand Angular’s forRoot and forChild

  forRoot   /   forChild   is a pattern for singleton services that most of us know from routing. Routing is actually the main use case for it and as it is not commonly used outside of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if most Angular developers haven’t given it a second thought. However, as the official Angular documentation puts it: “Understanding how  forRoot()  works to make sure a service is a singleton will inform your development at a deeper level.” So let’s go. Providers & Injectors Angular comes with a dependency injection (DI) mechanism. When a component depends on a service, you don’t manually create an instance of the service. You  inject  the service and the dependency injection system takes care of providing an instance. import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; import { TestService } from 'src/app/services/test.service'; @Component({ selector: 'app-test', templateUrl: './test.component.html', styleUrls: ['./test.compon...

How to solve Puppeteer TimeoutError: Navigation timeout of 30000 ms exceeded

During the automation of multiple tasks on my job and personal projects, i decided to move on  Puppeteer  instead of the old school PhantomJS. One of the most usual problems with pages that contain a lot of content, because of the ads, images etc. is the load time, an exception is thrown (specifically the TimeoutError) after a page takes more than 30000ms (30 seconds) to load totally. To solve this problem, you will have 2 options, either to increase this timeout in the configuration or remove it at all. Personally, i prefer to remove the limit as i know that the pages that i work with will end up loading someday. In this article, i'll explain you briefly 2 ways to bypass this limitation. A. Globally on the tab The option that i prefer, as i browse multiple pages in the same tab, is to remove the timeout limit on the tab that i use to browse. For example, to remove the limit you should add: await page . setDefaultNavigationTimeout ( 0 ) ;  COPY SNIPPET The setDefaultNav...
