Cannot add requirejs-text plugin in brunch-with-marionette application - requirejs

I used brunch-with-marionette skeleton available at: https://github.com/SimbCo/brunch-with-marionette Everything works fine for me but I don't know the necessary configuration in this skeleton to add requirejs-text plugin. I tried:
npm install requirejs-text
and it installed the plugin in node-modules folder but then when I tried to load a template like this:
items = require 'text!views/sub-menu/templates/panel'
the browser gives error about being unable to load file 'text!views/....'. It considers the whole thing a file name. Removing the "text!" part works but then it doesn't return the html text rather, it gives a function which is not what I need.
I even checked the installed plugin with "npm ls" command from the app folder but when it lists the node-modules, it says the following for requirejs-text:
npm ERR! extraneous: requirejs-text#2.0.12
I am working on this stuff for the first time. Kindly help me with the configuration to add requirejs-text plugin. Many thanks!
EDITED:
I am using coffeescript. Adding some code from search-menu-view.coffee file for reference:
SubMenuView = require 'views/sub-menu/sub-menu-view'
favorites = require 'models/favorites'
navTemplate = require 'text!views/sub-menu/templates/menu-panel'
module.exports = class SearchMenuView extends SubMenuView
template: 'views/sub-menu/templates/menu-search'
events:
'click .menu-search-btn-group': 'onSearchInputClick'
The first two files load fine. The third one which has text! in it, doesn't.

can't load files when trying to publish my threejs project on github pages

I've been experimenting with react three fiber and wanted to publish a project on github pages. I did a build of my project and deployed it on pages. I get an error in the console that it can not load my files:
main.bb26e057.js:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
Here is a link to the repository: https://github.com/olvard/repossumtory/tree/main/possumtory ,
Here is a link to the pages site: https://olvard.github.io/repossumtory/possumtory/build/
I've tried fiddleing with different filepaths but i don't understand why npm run build would give me incorrect filepaths anyways.
Would be grateful for any help.
Try providing the homepage property in the package.json of the React App.
In your case, https://olvard.github.io/repossumtory/possumtory/build/ is the start url.
So modify include this line in your package.json.
"homepage": "https://olvard.github.io/repossumtory/possumtory/build/",
Edit:
Adding to your comment: The model fails to load at the first attempt because of your model.js on the last line.
It should be useGLTF.preload('opossum.glb') instead of useGLTF.preload('/opossum.glb')
I would recommend using a package called gh-pages. It's a scripted way of uploading your site using the pages functions of GitHub and also supports custom configuration options on commit.
All you need to do is run:
npm install gh-pages --save-dev
Then create a new file. Inside this file simply insert this code:
var ghpages = require('gh-pages');
ghpages.publish('path-of-dir-to-commit', function(err) {
if(err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log("success");
});
You can read more on the npm site for the configuration options such as naming the repo it generates if non is found, etc.

Using require within an NPM package

I've written a custom NPM package that will spin up a mocked Apollo GraphQL server for me with some custom settings.
In my /bin folder I have a file, server.js which is responsible for spinning up the server.
In package.json I've set up my command like this:
...
"bin": {
"mock-server": "./src/server.js"
},
...
So when I run the command mock-server from the parent project it will execute the server.js file.
All good so far, but the problem is that once I start trying to require dependencies I run into this error:
$ use-env mock-server
/Users/dev/projects/share-vde-frontend/node_modules/.bin/mock-server: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/Users/dev/projects/share-vde-frontend/node_modules/.bin/mock-server: line 1: `const { ApolloServer } = require("apollo-server");'
error Command failed with exit code 2.
My knowledge of writing npm modules is just based on what I've seen in packages I've been using in the past, so maybe I'm missing something key. Do I need some special measures when requiring imports? Or do I need to build and transpile the code? I'm using ES6 syntax, but I feel confident that anyone using this package will be on modern Node.js versions (the package is private and only to be used within our organisation).
Based on the comment from #jonrsharpe above, I solved it by added shabang to the start of the server.js file:
#!/usr/bin/env node
const { ApolloServer } = require("apollo-server");
...

How to share npm modules across projects?

I'm using windows 10 x64.
I'm using dropbox to hold all my projects, and having a 'node_modules' folder inside a dropbox folder is a disaster.
First of all not all npm packages work in a way that would allow this method , because as it says in line one " does not begin with '/', '../', or './' ", so that won't work I think.
So, I tried to make syslink, but as I figured out, windows doesn't allow creating true hard links for folders, only files.
My method to create a folder junction was to have this bat file inside each project folder, and run it as administrator.
SET dest=%~dp0node_modules
SET src=F:\work\node_modules
MKLINK /J %dest% %src%
The bat file works, it creates the syslink, but 3 problems occur.
Dropbox sees it as a real folder and starts syncing it.
That folder doesn't show in the selective syncing to prevent syncing it.
npm can't use it for some reason and when I run 'npm install', It creates a new real 'node_modules' folder to replace the syslink, I get this error output:
I would not try to use junctions, they are pretty hard to work with and can lead to data loss if you don't know what you're doing.
Instead, you could go with the following approach.
Create a json config file containing the path to your modules:
{"modules_root": "F:/work/node_modules/"}
In your code, load this json and require your modules by prepending the path from your config file:
var fs = require("fs");
var modules_root = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("modules_root.json")).modules_root;
var express = require(modules_root + "./express")
If you ever decide to use local modules, you could just change the config file to:
{modules_root: "./node_modules/"}

Unexpected token import - using react and node

I'm getting an error when running my react app: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token import
I know that there are a plethora of similar issues on here, but I think mine is a little different. First of all, here is the repository, since I'm not sure where exactly the error is: repo
I'm using create-react-app, and in a seperate backend directory I'm using babel (with a .babelrc file containing the preset es2015). The app worked fine until I added another file in a new directory in the backend folder (/backend/shared/validations/signup.js).
I was using es6 before that too, and it was working perfectly fine. First I thought it was some problem with windows, but I cloned the repo on my Ubuntu laptop and I'm getting the same error there.
Some things I tried already:
Move the entire folder from /backend to the root folder
Move just the file (signup.js) just about everywhere
So no matter where the file is, the error stays the same. If I remove the entire file and all references to it the app works again.
I think this error is pretty weird, considering I'm using es6 everywhere else in the app without trouble. It would be great if anyone could help me with this error.
edit: If you want to test this on your own machine just clone the repo and run npm start in the root folder (and also npm start in the backend folder, but that isn't required for the app to run, or for the error to show up).
That's what's happening:
Your webpack is set to run babel loader only in the src folder (include directive).
To change that, one approach is:
1) extract webpack configuration with npm run eject (don't know if there is another way to override settings in react-create-app). From the docs:
Running npm run eject copies all the configuration files and the
transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your
project so you have full control over them.
2) in config/paths.js, add an appShared key, like that:
module.exports = {
/* ... */
appSrc: resolveApp('src'),
appShared: resolveApp('backend/shared'),
/* ... */
};
3) in config/webpack.config.dev.js, add the path to the babel loader, like that:
{
test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
include: [ paths.appSrc, paths.appShared ],
loader: 'babel',
/* ... */
},
It works now!

Vue.js Webpack Template in a Docker Container: How do I add Webpack-Dev-Server --watch-poll flag?

I am running the webpack / webpack-dev-server portion of the base Vue.js Webpack template (https://github.com/vuejs-templates/webpack/) inside of a docker container I created. The container also contains the vue CLI in order to create new projects (you can get my container here if you want: https://hub.docker.com/r/ncevl/webpack-vue/).
Hot-reload does not work after moving from the webpack-simple template to this one.
Everything was working using the Webpack-Simple template which you can clone / see over here: https://github.com/vuejs-templates/webpack-simple
I was able to get the simple template running (with hot-reload working as intended) with the following webpack-development-server launch command:
webpack-dev-server --hot --inline --progress --host 0.0.0.0 --watch-poll
That said the full (not simple) version of the webpack template does not appear to use a webpack-dev-server launch command and instead appears to use additional middleware as referenced in build/dev-server.js (https://github.com/vuejs-templates/webpack/blob/master/template/build/dev-server.js) and the webpack dev config.
Since the --watch-poll was the key to getting the WDS hot-reload functionality to work within a docker container in the last project, my thinking is that I need to do something similar with the webpack-hot-middleware but I dont see anything in their docs (over here: https://github.com/glenjamin/webpack-hot-middleware) that talks about changing to a polling based approach.
I am not 100% sure the polling flag will do the trick since I can see the container recompile my source when I make a change. I can also see the change in my browser if I refresh it manually.
Whats stranger still is if I inspect my page in browser within chrome dev tools, and then head over to network / XHR I can see that the browser actually does receive information from the webpack-dev-server, but visually it does not update.
Give the above I assume websockets (or socket.io which I think is used) are working and communicating between the browser and the WDS so maybe this is a browser caching issue of some sort?
I checked in my console and found this so it is looking like a header issue:
For reference the text error from that image (to make it easier for anyone having the same issue to find this post) is:
EventSource cannot load http://__webpack_hmr/. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://0.0.0.0:8080' is therefore not allowed access.
Again the Hot-Reload / Hot Module Reload was working with this identical container setup when using the webpack-simple Vue.js template.
I am wondering if anyone has run into anything similar or has any ideas on how to add the polling option . I guess my alternative would be roll back to a more basic webpack config and rebuild that portion of things to use the traditional webpack-dev-server / webpack config but give the above I am not sure that is going to fix it.
I am adding this as a separate answer since it more specifically answers the question in the title, while my other answer more specifically explains what solved my actual problem.
The vue.js webpack template project (which can either be init'd from the Vue CLI or pulled from its repo over here: https://github.com/vuejs-templates/webpack) separates its config files into several different directories.
I am posting this answer so that anyone who runs into the need to add polling to their project will be able to understand how / where to do that.
The base project structure for a Vue.js webpack template project looks like this:
The files that you care about if you are messing with trying to get hot module reload working are related to creating your server primarily with webpack-dev-middleware. The most important files related to that are highlighted here:
Basically if you want to add the polling code to the webpack-dev-middleware server you need to be in the /build/dev-server.js file on lines 20 to 24 that look like this:
var devMiddleware = require('webpack-dev-middleware')(compiler, {
publicPath: webpackConfig.output.publicPath,
quiet: true
})
To add polling you would add it just before or after quiet: true. As a side note, if you are having trouble with HMR I would change "quiet:true" to queit false to get a more verbose read out of whats going on from webpack-dev-middleware. I have included verbose and polling modifications to the above code here:
var devMiddleware = require('webpack-dev-middleware')(compiler, {
publicPath: webpackConfig.output.publicPath,
quiet: false, //Changed to for additional verbosity
watchOptions: { //Add Polling
aggregateTimeout: 300,
poll: 1000
}
})
My other answer is in regards to what ended up solving my problem, not necessarily how to actually add polling (which might be necessary for someone else but did not end up being needed to make my dockerized setup work).
It should also be noted that sometimes when HMR (webpack hot module reload) is not detecting changes it is due to the fact that webpack-hot-middleware or webpack-dev-middleware is running into an issue whereby some invisible characters are / were added to the name of the base project directory (probably by someone building the base Vue project) and therefore webpack on certain OSes is not able to see the changes.
If that happens to you and you are on OSx or running webpack inside of a docker container and you can't get HMR to detect changes, try to rename your vue-webpack project directory and it should work.
Ok. So I can't really take credit for this one since it was actually answered by Discuss user Cristian Pallarés over here: http://webpack.github.io/docs/webpack-dev-server.html#combining-with-an-existing-server
Christian says:
I was just trying the same. I just use "php artisan serve" on localhost:8000, and Webpack Dev Server on localhost:3000. You should make this:
set your webpack config "output.publicPath" as "http://localhost:3000/static/" instead of "/static/"
make your php application load this:
The key is the output.publicPath being absolute. Now, you should run "php artisan serve" and launch your webpack dev server too (in my case I use gulp).
Basically I took that and dug through the Vue.js Webpack Template files to locate the config file where webpack was looking for the public path. the public path setting ended up being in the index.js file located in the /config directory of the template.
I changed my code to look like this:
assetsSubDirectory: 'http://localhost:8080/static/', //!!Changed from /static/
assetsPublicPath: 'http://localhost:8080/', //!!Changed from /
As opposed to the previous setting which DID NOT WORK and looked like this:
assetsSubDirectory: '/static/',
assetsPublicPath: '/',
After that I was able to see my changes hot reload while running the vue.js Webpack template from within my docker container.
