Getting Started ​

Setting Up Cloud Development ​

For WeChat Mini Programs ​

  1. Enable Cloud Development:

    • Open WeChat Developer Tools
    • Create or open a mini program project
    • Click on "Details" in the project settings
    • Enable "Use Cloud Base"
    • Select a cloud environment or create a new one

  2. Initialize Cloud in Your Code:

    javascript
    // app.js
App({
  onLaunch: function() {
    if (!wx.cloud) {
      console.error('Please use WeChat Developer Tools 1.02.1908232 or higher');
    } else {
      wx.cloud.init({
        env: 'your-env-id',
        traceUser: true,
      });
    }
  }
});

For Alipay Mini Programs ​

  1. Enable Cloud Development:

    • Open Alipay Developer Tools

javascript
// app.js
import Taro from '@tarojs/taro';

Taro.cloud.init({
  env: 'your-env-id',
  traceUser: true
});

uni-app Example:

javascript
// main.js
// Use conditional compilation to handle different platforms
// #ifdef MP-WEIXIN
wx.cloud.init({
  env: 'your-env-id',
  traceUser: true
});
// #endif

// #ifdef MP-ALIPAY
my.cloud.init({
  env: 'your-env-id'
});
// #endif

Creating a Cloud Environment ​

  1. WeChat Cloud Environment:

    • In WeChat Developer Tools, go to "Cloud Development"
    • Click "Create Environment"
    • Choose a name and region
    • Select your resource plan

  2. Alipay Cloud Environment:

    • In Alipay Developer Tools, go to "Cloud Development"
    • Click "Create Environment"
    • Follow the setup instructions

Cloud Database ​

Cloud Database is a NoSQL database service that allows you to store and query data in JSON-like documents.

Basic Operations ​

Adding Data ​

javascript
// Add a single record
wx.cloud.database().collection('users').add({
  data: {
    name: 'John Doe',
    age: 25,
    city: 'Shanghai',
    createTime: wx.cloud.database().serverDate()
  }
}).then(res => {
  console.log('Added document with ID:', res._id);
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('Add failed:', err);
});

// Add multiple records (using cloud function)
wx.cloud.callFunction({
  name: 'batchAdd',
  data: {
    collection: 'users',
    data: [
      { name: 'Alice', age: 30, city: 'Beijing' },
      { name: 'Bob', age: 28, city: 'Guangzhou' }
    ]
  }
}).then(res => {
  console.log('Batch add successful:', res);
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('Batch add failed:', err);
});

Querying Data ​

javascript
const db = wx.cloud.database();

// Get a single record by ID
db.collection('users').doc('record-id').get().then(res => {
  console.log('Data:', res.data);
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('Query failed:', err);
});

// Query with conditions
db.collection('users')
  .where({
    age: db.command.gt(20).and(db.command.lt(30))
  })
  .get()
  .then(res => {
    console.log('Query results:', res.data);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error('Query failed:', err);
  });

// Complex queries
db.collection('users')
  .where({
    city: 'Shanghai',
    age: db.command.gt(20)
  })
  .orderBy('age', 'desc')
  .limit(10)
  .get()
  .then(res => {
    console.log('Query results:', res.data);
  });

Updating Data ​

javascript
const db = wx.cloud.database();

// Update a single record
db.collection('users').doc('record-id').update({
  data: {
    age: 26,
    'address.city': 'Beijing'
  }
}).then(res => {
  console.log('Updated successfully:', res);
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('Update failed:', err);
});

// Update multiple records (using cloud function)
wx.cloud.callFunction({
  name: 'batchUpdate',
  data: {
    collection: 'users',
    where: { city: 'Shanghai' },
    data: { country: 'China' }
  }
}).then(res => {
  console.log('Batch update successful:', res);
});

Deleting Data ​

javascript
const db = wx.cloud.database();

// Delete a single record
db.collection('users').doc('record-id').remove().then(res => {
  console.log('Removed successfully:', res);
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('Remove failed:', err);
});

// Delete multiple records (using cloud function)
wx.cloud.callFunction({
  name: 'batchDelete',
  data: {
    collection: 'users',
    where: { city: 'Shanghai' }
  }
}).then(res => {
  console.log('Batch delete successful:', res);
});

Advanced Database Features ​

Transactions ​

For operations that require atomicity, you can use transactions (only available in cloud functions):

javascript
// In a cloud function
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();
const db = cloud.database();

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  const { fromAccount, toAccount, amount } = event;
  
  try {
    return await db.runTransaction(async transaction => {
      // Get current balances
      const fromUser = await transaction.get(db.collection('accounts').doc(fromAccount));
      const toUser = await transaction.get(db.collection('accounts').doc(toAccount));
      
      // Check if enough balance
      if (fromUser.data.balance < amount) {
        throw new Error('Insufficient balance');
      }
      
      // Update balances
      await transaction.update(db.collection('accounts').doc(fromAccount), {
        data: {
          balance: db.command.inc(-amount)
        }
      });
      
      await transaction.update(db.collection('accounts').doc(toAccount), {
        data: {
          balance: db.command.inc(amount)
        }
      });
      
      return { success: true };
    });
  } catch (e) {
    return { success: false, error: e.message };
  }
};

Aggregation ​

For complex data analysis, you can use aggregation pipelines:

javascript
const db = wx.cloud.database();
const $ = db.command.aggregate;

db.collection('orders')
  .aggregate()
  .match({
    status: 'completed',
    createTime: $.gte(new Date('2023-01-01'))
  })
  .group({
    _id: '$productId',
    totalSales: $.sum('$amount'),
    count: $.sum(1)
  })
  .sort({
    totalSales: -1
  })
  .limit(10)
  .end()
  .then(res => {
    console.log('Top 10 products:', res.list);
  });

Real-time Data Updates ​

Subscribe to database changes in real-time:

javascript
const db = wx.cloud.database();
const watcher = db.collection('messages')
  .where({ roomId: 'room1' })
  .watch({
    onChange: function(snapshot) {
      console.log('Data changed:', snapshot.docChanges);
      console.log('Current data:', snapshot.docs);
      // Update UI with new data
    },
    onError: function(err) {
      console.error('Watch error:', err);
    }
  });

// Stop watching when no longer needed
// watcher.close();

Cloud Storage ​

Cloud Storage allows you to store and retrieve files such as images, videos, and documents.

Basic Operations ​

Uploading Files ​

javascript
// Upload from local file path
wx.chooseImage({
  count: 1,
  success: res => {
    const filePath = res.tempFilePaths[0];
    const cloudPath = `images/${Date.now()}-${Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000)}${filePath.match(/\.[^.]+?$/)[0]}`;
    
    wx.cloud.uploadFile({
      cloudPath,
      filePath,
      success: res => {
        console.log('Upload successful, file ID:', res.fileID);
        // Save fileID to database if needed
        wx.cloud.database().collection('images').add({
          data: {
            fileID: res.fileID,
            uploadTime: wx.cloud.database().serverDate()
          }
        });
      },
      fail: err => {
        console.error('Upload failed:', err);
      }
    });
  }
});

Downloading Files ​

javascript
wx.cloud.downloadFile({
  fileID: 'cloud://your-env-id.xxxx-xxxx/images/example.jpg',
  success: res => {
    // tempFilePath can be used as the src attribute of an image tag
    const tempFilePath = res.tempFilePath;
    console.log('Download successful, temp file path:', tempFilePath);
    
    // Display the image
    this.setData({
      imageUrl: tempFilePath
    });
  },
  fail: err => {
    console.error('Download failed:', err);
  }
});

Getting File URLs ​

javascript
wx.cloud.getTempFileURL({
  fileList: ['cloud://your-env-id.xxxx-xxxx/images/example.jpg'],
  success: res => {
    console.log('File URLs:', res.fileList);
    // Use the URLs for image display, sharing, etc.
    const url = res.fileList[0].tempFileURL;
    this.setData({
      imageUrl: url
    });
  },
  fail: err => {
    console.error('Get URL failed:', err);
  }
});

Deleting Files ​

javascript
wx.cloud.deleteFile({
  fileList: ['cloud://your-env-id.xxxx-xxxx/images/example.jpg'],
  success: res => {
    console.log('Delete result:', res.fileList);
  },
  fail: err => {
    console.error('Delete failed:', err);
  }
});

Advanced Storage Features ​

Batch Operations ​

javascript
// Batch get URLs
wx.cloud.getTempFileURL({
  fileList: [
    'cloud://your-env-id.xxxx-xxxx/images/example1.jpg',
    'cloud://your-env-id.xxxx-xxxx/images/example2.jpg',
    'cloud://your-env-id.xxxx-xxxx/images/example3.jpg'
  ],
  success: res => {
    const urls = res.fileList.map(item => item.tempFileURL);
    console.log('URLs:', urls);
  }
});

// Batch delete
wx.cloud.deleteFile({
  fileList: [
    'cloud://your-env-id.xxxx-xxxx/images/example1.jpg',
    'cloud://your-env-id.xxxx-xxxx/images/example2.jpg'
  ],
  success: res => {
    console.log('Batch delete results:', res.fileList);
  }
});

File Access Control ​

You can control file access by setting permissions in the cloud console or programmatically:

javascript
// In a cloud function
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  try {
    const result = await cloud.openapi.cloudbase.addPermission({
      env: 'your-env-id',
      resource: 'storage.object',
      action: 'storage.getObject',
      condition: {
        'resource.path': ['/images/public/*']
      },
      principal: { 'service': ['cloudbase.anonymous'] }
    });
    return result;
  } catch (err) {
    return err;
  }
};

Cloud Functions ​

Cloud Functions allow you to run backend code in a serverless environment, triggered by events or direct calls.

Creating and Deploying Cloud Functions ​

  1. Create a Cloud Function:

    • In WeChat Developer Tools, go to "Cloud Development" > "Cloud Functions"
    • Click "Add Cloud Function"
    • Enter a name (e.g., "getUserInfo")
    • A template function will be created

  2. Write Function Code:

    javascript
    // cloud/getUserInfo/index.js
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();
const db = cloud.database();

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  const { OPENID } = cloud.getWXContext();
  
  try {
    // Get user from database
    const userResult = await db.collection('users').where({
      _openid: OPENID
    }).get();
    
    // Return user data or create new user if not found
    if (userResult.data.length > 0) {
      return {
        success: true,
        data: userResult.data[0]
      };
    } else {
      // Create new user
      const newUser = {
        _openid: OPENID,
        createdAt: db.serverDate(),
        points: 0,
        nickname: event.nickname || 'New User'
      };
      
      const addResult = await db.collection('users').add({
        data: newUser
      });
      
      return {
        success: true,
        data: {
          ...newUser,
          _id: addResult._id
        },
        isNew: true
      };
    }
  } catch (err) {
    return {
      success: false,
      error: err.message
    };
  }
};

  3. Deploy the Function:

    • Click "Upload and Deploy" in the cloud function editor
    • Wait for the deployment to complete

Calling Cloud Functions ​

From Mini Program ​

javascript
// Call without parameters
wx.cloud.callFunction({
  name: 'getUserInfo',
  success: res => {
    console.log('User info:', res.result);
    if (res.result.success) {
      this.setData({
        userInfo: res.result.data,
        isNewUser: res.result.isNew || false
      });
    }
  },
  fail: err => {
    console.error('Call function failed:', err);
  }
});

// Call with parameters
wx.cloud.callFunction({
  name: 'updateUserProfile',
  data: {
    nickname: 'John Doe',
    avatar: 'https://example.com/avatar.jpg',
    gender: 1
  }
}).then(res => {
  console.log('Profile updated:', res.result);
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('Update failed:', err);
});

From Another Cloud Function ​

javascript
// In a cloud function
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  try {
    // Call another cloud function
    const result = await cloud.callFunction({
      name: 'getUserInfo',
      data: {
        nickname: event.nickname
      }
    });
    
    return result.result;
  } catch (err) {
    return {
      success: false,
      error: err.message
    };
  }
};

Triggers for Cloud Functions ​

Cloud functions can be triggered by various events:

HTTP Triggers ​

Create an HTTP endpoint for your function:

javascript
// cloud/api/index.js
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  // Parse HTTP method and path
  const { method, path } = event;
  
  if (method === 'GET' && path === '/users') {
    // Handle GET /users
    const db = cloud.database();
    const users = await db.collection('users').limit(10).get();
    return {
      statusCode: 200,
      body: JSON.stringify(users.data)
    };
  } else if (method === 'POST' && path === '/users') {
    // Handle POST /users
    const db = cloud.database();
    const { name, email } = event.body ? JSON.parse(event.body) : {};
    
    if (!name || !email) {
      return {
        statusCode: 400,
        body: JSON.stringify({ error: 'Name and email are required' })
      };
    }
    
    const result = await db.collection('users').add({
      data: { name, email, createdAt: db.serverDate() }
    });
    
    return {
      statusCode: 201,
      body: JSON.stringify({ id: result._id })
    };
  } else {
    // Handle 404
    return {
      statusCode: 404,
      body: JSON.stringify({ error: 'Not found' })
    };
  }
};

Configure the HTTP trigger in the cloud console or function configuration.

Timer Triggers ​

Schedule functions to run at specific intervals:

javascript
// cloud/dailyTasks/index.js
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();
const db = cloud.database();

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  try {
    // Reset daily counters
    await db.collection('statistics').where({
      type: 'daily'
    }).update({
      data: {
        count: 0,
        lastReset: db.serverDate()
      }
    });
    
    // Generate daily reports
    const yesterday = new Date();
    yesterday.setDate(yesterday.getDate() - 1);
    
    const startOfDay = new Date(yesterday);
    startOfDay.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);
    
    const endOfDay = new Date(yesterday);
    endOfDay.setHours(23, 59, 59, 999);
    
    const orders = await db.collection('orders')
      .where({
        createTime: db.command.gte(startOfDay).and(db.command.lte(endOfDay))
      })
      .get();
    
    // Calculate statistics
    const totalSales = orders.data.reduce((sum, order) => sum + order.amount, 0);
    const orderCount = orders.data.length;
    
    // Save report
    await db.collection('reports').add({
      data: {
        date: yesterday,
        totalSales,
        orderCount,
        createdAt: db.serverDate()
      }
    });
    
    return {
      success: true,
      message: 'Daily tasks completed successfully'
    };
  } catch (err) {
    return {
      success: false,
      error: err.message
    };
  }
};

Configure the timer trigger in the cloud console (e.g., "0 0 * * *" for daily at midnight).

Database Triggers ​

React to changes in the database:

javascript
// cloud/onOrderCreate/index.js
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();
const db = cloud.database();

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  const { dataList } = event;
  
  for (const { doc, docId, updateFields } of dataList) {
    try {
      // New order created
      if (doc && doc.status === 'new') {
        // Send notification to admin
        await cloud.openapi.subscribeMessage.send({
          touser: 'admin-open-id',
          templateId: 'template-id',
          data: {
            thing1: {
              value: `New order: ${docId}`
            },
            amount3: {
              value: doc.amount
            },
            time4: {
              value: new Date().toLocaleString()
            }
          }
        });
        
        // Update inventory
        for (const item of doc.items) {
          await db.collection('products').doc(item.productId).update({
            data: {
              stock: db.command.inc(-item.quantity)
            }
          });
        }
        
        // Update order status
        await db.collection('orders').doc(docId).update({
          data: {
            status: 'processing',
            processingTime: db.serverDate()
          }
        });
      }
    } catch (err) {
      console.error(`Error processing order ${docId}:`, err);
    }
  }
  
  return { success: true };
};

Configure the database trigger in the cloud console, specifying the collection to watch.

Authentication and Security ​

User Authentication ​

WeChat Authentication ​

WeChat mini programs automatically authenticate users with their WeChat accounts:

javascript
// Get user OpenID
wx.cloud.callFunction({
  name: 'login',
  success: res => {
    const openid = res.result.openid;
    console.log('User OpenID:', openid);
    // Store openid for future use
    this.setData({ openid });
  },
  fail: err => {
    console.error('Login failed:', err);
  }
});

// Cloud function for login
// cloud/login/index.js
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  const wxContext = cloud.getWXContext();
  
  return {
    openid: wxContext.OPENID,
    appid: wxContext.APPID,
    unionid: wxContext.UNIONID,
  };
};

Custom Authentication ​

For more complex authentication needs:

javascript
// Cloud function for custom authentication
// cloud/customLogin/index.js
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();
const db = cloud.database();
const crypto = require('crypto');

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  const { username, password } = event;
  const wxContext = cloud.getWXContext();
  
  try {
    // Find user by username
    const userResult = await db.collection('users').where({
      username: username
    }).get();
    
    if (userResult.data.length === 0) {
      return {
        success: false,
        error: 'User not found'
      };
    }
    
    const user = userResult.data[0];
    
    // Check password (using hash comparison)
    const hashedPassword = crypto
      .createHash('sha256')
      .update(password + user.salt)
      .digest('hex');
    
    if (hashedPassword !== user.password) {
      return {
        success: false,
        error: 'Invalid password'
      };
    }
    
    // Update user with WeChat OpenID if not already linked
    if (!user.openid) {
      await db.collection('users').doc(user._id).update({
        data: {
          openid: wxContext.OPENID,
          lastLogin: db.serverDate()
        }
      });
    } else {
      await db.collection('users').doc(user._id).update({
        data: {
          lastLogin: db.serverDate()

      });
    }
    
    // Generate session token
    const token = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('hex');
    const expiresAt = new Date();
    expiresAt.setDate(expiresAt.getDate() + 7); // Token valid for 7 days
    
    await db.collection('sessions').add({

        _id: user._id,
        username: user.username,
        nickname: user.nickname,
        role: user.role
      }
    };
  } catch (err) {
    return {
      success: false,
      error: err.message
    };
  }
};

Security Rules ​

Cloud Database and Storage support security rules to control access:

Database Security Rules ​

In the cloud console, you can set collection-level security rules:

json
{
  "read": true,
  "write": "auth.openid != null",
  "create": "auth.openid != null",
  "update": "auth.openid != null && auth.openid == doc._openid",
  "delete": "auth.openid != null && auth.openid == doc._openid"
}

For more complex rules:

json
{
  "read": true,
  "write": "auth.openid != null",
  "create": "auth.openid != null && doc._openid == auth.openid",
  "update": "auth.openid != null && ((doc._openid == auth.openid) || (get('database.collection.roles').where({_openid: auth.openid, role: 'admin'}).size() > 0))",
  "delete": "auth.openid != null && get('database.collection.roles').where({_openid: auth.openid, role: 'admin'}).size() > 0"
}

Storage Security Rules ​

Similarly, you can set storage security rules:

json
{
  "read": true,
  "write": "auth.openid != null"
}

For path-specific rules:

json
{
  "read": true,
  "write": {
    "condition": "auth.openid != null",
    "path_regex": "^/public/.*"
  }
}

Advanced Topics ​

Serverless Architecture Patterns ​

Microservices with Cloud Functions ​

Organize your backend as microservices:

cloud/
├── auth/
│   ├── login.js
│   ├── register.js
│   └── resetPassword.js
├── users/
│   ├── getProfile.js
│   ├── updateProfile.js
│   └── deleteAccount.js
├── products/
│   ├── listProducts.js
│   ├── getProductDetails.js
│   └── searchProducts.js
└── orders/
    ├── createOrder.js
    ├── getOrderStatus.js
    └── cancelOrder.js

Event-Driven Architecture ​

Use database triggers and message queues for event-driven flows:

javascript
// Order processing workflow
// 1. Create order (client-side)
// 2. Trigger: onOrderCreate -> validate and process payment
// 3. Trigger: onPaymentComplete -> update inventory and notify shipping
// 4. Trigger: onShipmentUpdate -> notify customer

Performance Optimization ​

Database Indexing ​

Create indexes for frequently queried fields:

javascript
// In a cloud function
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();
const db = cloud.database();

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  try {
    await db.collection('orders').createIndex({
      keys: {
        userId: 1,
        status: 1,
        createTime: -1
      },
      name: 'userId_status_createTime'
    });
    return { success: true };
  } catch (err) {
    return { success: false, error: err.message };
  }
};

Caching Strategies ​

Implement caching for frequently accessed data:

javascript
// In a cloud function
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();
const db = cloud.database();

// Simple in-memory cache (note: each function instance has its own memory)
const cache = {};
const CACHE_TTL = 60 * 1000; // 1 minute

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  const { category } = event;
  const cacheKey = `products_${category}`;
  
  // Check cache
  if (cache[cacheKey] && cache[cacheKey].timestamp > Date.now() - CACHE_TTL) {
    console.log('Cache hit for', cacheKey);
    return {
      source: 'cache',
      data: cache[cacheKey].data
    };
  }
  
  // Cache miss, fetch from database
  try {
    const query = category ? { category } : {};
    const result = await db.collection('products')
      .where(query)
      .limit(20)
      .get();
    
    // Update cache
    cache[cacheKey] = {
      timestamp: Date.now(),
      data: result.data
    };
    
    return {
      source: 'database',
      data: result.data
    };
  } catch (err) {
    return {
      success: false,
      error: err.message
    };
  }
};

Monitoring and Debugging ​

Logging ​

Implement structured logging:

javascript
// In a cloud function
const cloud = require('wx-server-sdk');
cloud.init();

function log(level, message, data = {}) {
  const timestamp = new Date().toISOString();
  console.log(JSON.stringify({
    level,
    timestamp,
    message,
    ...data
  }));
}

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  try {
    log('info', 'Function started', { event });
    
    // Function logic here
    const result = await someOperation();
    
    log('info', 'Function completed', { result });
    return result;
  } catch (err) {
    log('error', 'Function failed', { error: err.message, stack: err.stack });
    return { success: false, error: err.message };
  }
};

Debugging Cloud Functions ​

  1. Local Testing:

    • Use the cloud function local debugging feature in developer tools
    • Set breakpoints and inspect variables
    • View console logs in real-time

  2. Remote Debugging:

    • Add detailed logging to your functions
    • Use try-catch blocks to handle errors gracefully
    • Return detailed error information for debugging

  3. Monitoring:

    • Use the cloud console to monitor function executions
    • Track metrics like execution count, duration, and errors
    • Set up alerts for abnormal conditions
