As far as I understand from reading this snippet in this documentation regarding 'Defining dependencies':
will allow using any app to be used to meet the dependency.
sessions or sessions#* will match any app with the name sessions (such as the sessions app in the Foxx application store).
sessions#1.0.0 will match the version 1.0.0 of any app with the name sessions.
Foxx will look for any dependency with name 'sessions'. However, when I tried it locally, it seems like it tries to find any app mounted at /sessions rather than name 'sessions' and this error populated in the logs if I use like this format 'sessions#1.0.0':
[ArangoError 3007: Mountpoint can only contain a-z, A-Z, 0-9 or _.]: [object Arguments]
Is this an expected behaviour? I really hope if it's possible to import an app by name rather than the mount point though.
The blurb in the documentation refers to the value in the manifest.json file. Dependencies in the manifest are defined by an alias mapped to a string in the format of <name>#<version>. The exact meaning of that string is not currently enforced so it just serves as documentation for the app.
If you mount an app that has dependencies, you need to set up the dependencies (e.g. using the web frontend). The web frontend's dependencies dialog lets you enter mount paths of apps you want to use to meet the dependencies.
The code of the app itself will then be able to refer to the exports of the apps mounted at those paths by the aliases defined in the manifest.
For example:
You create an app called example with the following dependencies:
"dependencies": {"mySessions": "sessions#^1.0.0"}
You install a sessions app (e.g. the sessions app from the Foxx app store) and mount it at /my-sessions.
You install your example app and mount it somewhere else.
You open the app details of your example app in the web frontend and open the dependencies dialog (boxes icon in the top right).
The dialog should show a single input field titled MySessions with a help popup saying sessions#^1.0.0.
Enter /my-sessions into the input field and save.
Your example app should now be able to access the exports of the app at applicationContext.dependencies.mySessions.

I am trying to work with the BIM 360 Issue Editor created by Petr and available on github https://github.com/petrbroz/bim360-issue-editor/tree/develop
I have added all the dependencies,etc. but seem to be stuck with the configuration.
I am testing on local host and I am getting invalid URI error, what would be the correct configuration variables for launch.json file for
"HOST_URL": "http://localhost:3000","SERVER_SESSION_SECRET","CLI_CONFIG_PASSWORD"
Also there is SENDGRID_API_KEY required, which throws an error on the console, I add the key from SendGrid in config.js, and the error goes away. Is it correct?
Please suggest. Thanks
Here's more details about the env. variables:
HOST_URL is just the host/port the app is listening on (for example, http://localhost:3000)
This value is used to built the callback URL for the 3-legged OAuth workflow; for example, if the host URL is http://localhost:3000, the callback URL will be http://localhost:3000/auth/callback
Note that the same callback URL must be configured for your Forge app on https://forge.autodesk.com/myapps
SERVER_SESSION_SECRET is an arbitrary string that will be used to encrypt/decrypt browser cookies
CLI_CONFIG_PASSWORD is only needed when you want to use the command-line utility that's part of the sample code; in that case the configuration for the CLI utility will be zipped in a password-protected *.zip file using this env. variable as the password
SENDGRID_API_KEY is also optional and only needed if you want the app to send email notifications to users who triggered the Excel export
I am creating an Electron app and am using electron-builder to package and build the app. Users are able to make plugins for the app (plugins can be node modules with their own dependencies and such). Everything is working fine except the part of the app for exposing the app's API to the plugin.
I created a module in the app for handling the plugins "Plugin-handler" that imports the plugin and also exposes the API to the plugin (The app's API is just a set of functions and it is bundled with the app).
The dilemma is that the user should be able to place a plugin anywhere on their machine and the app does not know the path before the build. Consequently, I excluded the "plugin-handler" module in the Electron-builder config so it does not bundle with the Webpack. Now I need to find the right way to expose the API to the plugin.
Here is how I am doing it now, to load the plugins and passing the API:
// In the Plugin-handler module
const API = require('api')
const plugin = require('path-to-plugin')( API )
path-to-plugin is added by the user in the app when they import their plugin.
As seen above, currently I pass the API to the plugin as an argument, which is not ideal, instead, I need a way to exposing the API module (or any other module that is bundled in the APP) to the plugin so users can access it in their plugin like below:
// In the plugin
const { arg1, arg2,... } = require('api')
I've seen apps doing this, and allowing users to access their API in their plugins, but since I am new to all this, I may be doing things wrong, so please do be kind, and thank you for the help!
I drew a simple chart for better portraying the question:
After successful upload I get:
This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.
This is in the .plist:
NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription 'MyApp' would
like to use Bluetooth
What is here wrong? In other App's it was working.
The problem was, that there were two .plist files in the project directory.
The used .plist file is defined here: "TARGETS", "Build settings", "Packaging", "INFOPLIST_FILE".
find the info.plist file of your project and add the NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription key the value it is string whatever you like. this feature is request on iOS 10.enter image description here
So I am new to IBM Bluemix and all of their products and I am trying to do this project http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ba-muse-toycar-app/index.html . I have done all of the modifying of the car and everything I am just having issues with the codes.
I have a few specific questions on part 2 step 2.b when you are entering in the information for the Cloudant database what information do I put in for the cradle connection and how do I acquire that information.
Second when I go to deploy the app Part 2 Step 2.4 how do I navigate to the application directory? I have looked at the help and googled to no avail. So if we fix these things I am hoping that I will be able to deploy the application. However currently when I go to deploy it I get this error.
cf push braincar
Updating app braincar in org ccornwe1#students.kennesaw.edu / space dev as myemailaddress#gmail.com...

I am green to all this so any help and explanation to understand it is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
In the tutorial's part 2, step 2.b, you need to specify your Cloudant credentials. There are several ways to get Cloudant credentials, but I'll focus on doing it within the context of Bluemix and the cf command line tool.
You will first need to create a Cloudant service instance, then create a set of service keys (credentials) and then view them.
Create a Cloudant service instance named myCloudantSvc using the Shared plan:
$> cf create-service cloudantNoSQLDB Shared myCloudantSvc
Create a set of service keys (credentials) named cred1:
$> cf create-service-key myCloudantSvc cred1
View the credentials for the service key you just created
$> cf service-key myCloudantSvc creed
With the last step above, you should see output which provides you with the username, password and host values that you'll need to place into your app.js code. It should look something like the following:
{
"host": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-bluemix.cloudant.com",
"password": "longSecretPassword",
"port": 443,
"url": "https://xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-bluemix:longSecretPassword#xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-bluemix.cloudant.com",
"username": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-bluemix"
}
For your second question, it looks like you're performing the cf push from your $HOME directory (as mentioned in the comment by #vmovva). By default, the cf push command will send all files in the current directory to Bluemix/CloudFoundry.
Try running the command from the directory where your source code is located to reduce the files pushed to Bluemix. If your source code is intermingled in your $HOME directory, move your source into a different directory and then push from that directory.
I'm trying to use the node-config module to change some parameters of my configuration (basically logging level) during runtime.
In the official documentation says:
Environment variables can be used to override file configurations. Any environment variable that starts with $CONFIG_ is set into the CONFIG object.
I've checked that this is true when the server starts but it does not seem to work once it's up. (The handler of the watch function is never called when an environment variable is changed unlike a change in the runtime.json file or directly changing a config variable).
I'm currently watching the whole CONFIG object like this:
var CONFIG = require('config');
CONFIG.watch( CONFIG , null , function(object, propertyName, priorValue, newValue){
console.log("Configuration change detected");
});
Does anyone know if this is possible?
The environment is available during startup of a process.
If the process is running, you won't be able to change the environment anymore, the process is in.
The only option is to restart the process or use other mechanisms to communicate with it.
Say for example having a rest or tcp listener inside, where you can transfer your variable inside.
Best regards

As you must knowing, React is a single page application which is eventually when it is complied is a static page app that means all the files of the react application is complied into vanilla JS and CSS file bundle in a Tarball. Now that Tarball is eventually deployed on a web server. It could be Apache web server, nginx web server or anything which you are using it but an important point is the static app is running in someone else browser and someone access to website CSS and JS are downloaded in a browser and it is running in the browser runtime environment so technically you cannot have a runtime environment variable for someone else browser but may be there would be a way to access them during runtime.
SOLUTION
I have achieved this goal with the package called runtime-cra.
follow the steps on this official documentation: https://blog.risingstack.com/create-react-app-runtime-env-cra/
