Hi I created a sails app completely for api using. It doesn't has a view file, now I have a html, css, js directory structure, which I want to show as a front page of my app. My html directory structure is following.
+-ApiDocumentationApp
|
-script
|
-css
|
-images
|
--index.html
Now I don't want to use any templating engine like jade or ejs. Also I don't want to change the directory structure to sailsjs', asset and view system. Is there any way I can do it inside sailsjs?
Whatever your reluctance may be, by far the easiest solution here is to place all of your assets (scripts, css, images and index.html) under the /assets folder of your Sails app, and remove the default / route in /config/routes.js. Then your index.html file will be served up by Sails by default.
The alternative would be to modify the default Gruntfile.js (in Sails v0.9.x) or the individual Grunt tasks under /tasks/config (in Sails v0.10.x) to point directly to your top-level asset folders and files rather than ./assets. It's do-able, but error prone and less sustainable!

I created a sample app using SvelteKit to perform SSR. I noticed the svelte assets are always downloaded following this path _app/immutable/.. (examples):
http://localhost:3000/_app/immutable/start-9080d3a7.js
http://localhost:3000/_app/immutable/chunks/index-cad423a5.js
http://localhost:3000/_app/immutable/layout.svelte-eb403b25.js
http://localhost:3000/_app/immutable/pages/up-homeui/index.svelte-d6a3b39b.js
http://localhost:3000/_app/immutable/error.svelte-3f23e1a2.js
How can I serve the assets at the root level, like:
http://localhost:3000/start-9080d3a7.js
http://localhost:3000/index-cad423a5.js
http://localhost:3000/layout.svelte-eb403b25.js
http://localhost:3000/index.svelte-d6a3b39b.js
http://localhost:3000/error.svelte-3f23e1a2.js
At the end, I would like to serve all the files at the same level.
I already played with the svelte.config and the vite.config but I couldn't find a way to change this default behavior.
I'm fairly new to web development and I was wondering if there was a way to route a static web page with its own stylesheets and javascripts, using vue-router.
Let's say I have a directory called staticWebPage that contains:
an index.html file
a javascripts directory containing .js files
and a stylesheets directory containing .css files
Now, I'd like to map /mystaticwebpage to this index.html file so it displays that particular static web page.
I'd like to do something like this:
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'
import AComponent from './components/AComponent.vue'
import MyHtmlFile from './references/index.html'
router.map({
'/acomponent': {
component: AComponent
},
'mystaticwebpage': {
component: MyHtmlFile
}
})
Of course, this doesn't work as I can only reference Vue components in router.map.
Is there a way to route to that ./staticWebPage/index.html file using all the .js and .css file contained in the /staticWebPage directory?
So for your case you can do something that uses Webpack’s code-splitting feature.
More precisely, what you want is probably async components. So the code (and the css) used in the component definition (including any script you included there) will be loaded only when the corresponding page is accessed.
In large applications, we may need to divide the app into smaller
chunks and only load a component from the server when it’s actually
needed. To make that easier, Vue allows you to define your component
as a factory function that asynchronously resolves your component
definition. Vue will only trigger the factory function when the
component actually needs to be rendered and will cache the result for
future re-renders.
It can be a bit challenging to setup, so please refer to the dedicated guide in the VueJS doc.
I'm doing a node project where I expose my public folder like:
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/public')))
So now, all my public files are accessible through localhost:8080/*
I have also created a folder called "views" where I save private views, javascript and css files associated with them. They are private views so I don't want any user to access them.
As I have html linked with my css files and javascript, when the browser try to GET them, it says "not found" because they are not in the public folder.
I'm sending the html as sendFile in the express route.
Is there any way to put all files in the public folder and then protect them for not being accessible to public users? Or is there any alternative to sendFile, so the file is rendered locally and it doesn't need to request the css and javascript files
Thank you in advance
Views are technically private. Because they are rendered server-side, and not directly accessible by the visitors.
But you generally don't want stuff like Javascript, CSS nor views to be private. They will be seen anyway by the user. The only reason to have things like Node.js views private is the fact that they need be rendered by Node.js prior sending them to the user.
If you have private files, you might want to do same.
Otherwise, simply place them on the /public folder. You should not be hiding any secrets inside your JS / CSS code.
Edit (following comment):
You have a couple ways to do that.
Either you build a unique response that contains all necessary HTML / views - CSS - JS.
render('view.ejs', { css: 'body { color: blue }' })
You will need render that variable into your view, just like you might already be doing with your other views.
You might also want to read it from a file:
fs.readFile(`${__dirname}/css/style.css`, (error, styles) => { ... }
Or you handle each file request separately:
Node.js - external JS and CSS files (just using node.js not express)
(if you use Node.js views simply render these one instead of HTML files)
If a directory has been made available to a node application in the server.js file which sits in the main directory using:
app.use("/scripts",express.static(__dirname + "/scripts"));
and I attempt to use require from a file inside of that directory (/scripts/custom.js) using:
var Testing123 = require('../app/models/article');
Is there a reason this is not possible? and is there a solution to that problem?
Edit: In one of my views (views/tree.ejs) I use:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/custom.js"></script>
to access my Custom script which sits inside my scripts folder which is made available using express.static, Custom uses a web scraper to scrape articles and present them in circles (in the form of an image, title and link) on views/tree.ejs, I now want custom.js to save each article it creates to a mongodb database but to do so, it needs access to things like my Article Schema hence the problem above.
You cannot because Node.js scripts and browser scripts do not run in the same context. Your app.use call just exposes a /scripts route that serves assets statically on your HTTP Server.
Your scripts/custom.js script seems to be a browser-side script (Because you load it with a script tag inside an ejs view) but you want to use require inside it and this will not work as this is a Node.js function.
Have a look at LearnYouNode which is an excellent Node beginner tutorial so that you will understand how modules work in Node and know a bit more about the separation between server-side and client-side JS.
We have developed an application using Extjs 4.2 following MVC pattern. We have project folder setup as follwing:
WebContent
--> app
-->controller
-->model
-->store
-->view
app.html
app.js
In app.js we have defined all models, controllers, stores under Ext.application. Like:
Ext.application({
name: 'MyProject',
autoCreateViewport: true,
models: [
'Model1',
'Model2'
],
stores: [
'store1',
'store2'
]
(views and controllers similarly)
This all works good for us. Now we need to concatenate all these models, stores, controllers, views into one app-all.js and use it in our app.html. I have read many posts on net on how to do that with Sencha cmd tool, but none of them was application to me as we have a restriction to install cmd tool and we need to generate concatenated and minified file on build time with Maven.
I found out a solution that by using JSBuilder2, I can get a concatenated + minified app.js.
Problem is now when I use this minified file, all individual js files are still being downloaded. As if I delete individual js files, I get 404 error and application fails to load.
I suppose that is because of way we have defined models, views, controllers in our app.js; they are still looking for js class files in respective folders.
Please share if you have any solution to this.
You can disable the dynamic loader using the enabled property of Ext.Loader (http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.2.2/#!/api/Ext.Loader-cfg-enabled):
Ext.Loader.setConfig({ enabled: false })
You must place this code after including the framework files, but before your application files.
This should prevent Ext JS from trying to download files. You need to make sure all framework and application classes that you use are included on the page.
