Configure Eleventy not to use directories for output? - eleventy

Is it possible somehow to do a general configuration for Eleventy so that 'my_file.html' in the input folder ends up just as 'my_file.html' in the _site folder, not '/my_file/index.html'?
I know I can do it on a file by file basis with permalinks. But I'd like it configured for the site as a whole, if possible.

Unfortunately, since this behavior isn't encouraged, there isn't a simple configuration option to disable the directory output.
However, since permalink is part of the data cascade, you can set a global default, and in combination with the filePathStem computed data, you can set the output to be .html files.
To set a permalink using a global data file, add a permalink.js file to your global _data directory.
// _data/permalink.js
module.exports = '/{{ page.filePathStem }}.html'
There is also a config global data option coming soon to v1.0.0. I am not sure if it will handle the {{ page.filePathStep }} preprocessing, but if it does, that could be an option too, especially since it will keep config-related things inside the config file.

Yes, you can control where Eleventy writes things out by specifying a permalink value in the front matter. This is covered here: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/permalinks/#remapping-output-(permalink)
An example would be:
---
permalink: "/my_file.html"

How to overwrite sphinx/locale/{language}/LC_MESSAGES/sphinx.po?

I'd like to overwrite admonition labels.
Admonitions are directives such as note, warning, and so on.
For Japanese, the labels are defined in
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/blob/master/sphinx/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/sphinx.po.
Is there a simple way to overwrite them without changing the master repository?
Here is what works for me (tested with Sphinx 3.3.1):
Copy the Japanese sphinx.po from <sphinx_install_dir>/sphinx/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/
to <your_sphinx_proj>/locales/ja/LC_MESSAGES/.
Note the directory name locales (the default value of the locale_dirs configuration option).
Edit msgstr for the relevant entries (admonitions in this case) in the copy of sphinx.po.
It is not necessary to keep the entire copy. You can remove the unchanged entries if you want.
Run sphinx-build with language=ja (set it in conf.py or on the command line). A local project-specific sphinx.mo file is generated and used in the build.
This means that there will be two *.mo files for the same domain ("sphinx"). The local sphinx.mo is consulted first, and the original sphinx.mo that comes with Sphinx is used as the fallback.

How can a Bazel `repository_rule` adjust a `label_flag` (or a `config_setting` more generally)?

I can create a label_flag in Bazel to allow command line flags to in turn be matched with a config_setting in a Bazel BUILD file.
However, I'd like to not hard-code the default value of the label_flag, and instead compute a good default based on the system when evaluating a repository_rule (or some other part of the WORKSPACE file).
The best (but awful) way I've come up with to do this is to have the default value loaded from a .bzl file that is generated using the template function on the repository_ctx.
I feel like generating a new file by doing textual substitutions probably isn't the right way to do this, but I can't find anything else. Ideas? help?
Generating a bzl file using the repository rule that inspects the host system is the only way to achieve what you need right now. So you're holding it "right" :)

Generate URL of resources that are handled by Grails AssetPipeline

I need to access a local JSON file. Since Grails 2.4 implements the AssetPipeline plugin by default, I saved my local JSON file at:
/grails-app/assets/javascript/vendor/me/json/local.json
Now what I need is to generate a URL to this JSON file, to be used as a function parameter on my JavaScript's $.getJSON() . I've tried using:
var URL.local = ""${ raw(asset.assetPath(src: "local.json")) }";
but it generates an invalid link:
console.log(URL.local);
// prints /project/assets/local.json
// instead of /project/assets/vendor/me/json/local.json
I also encountered the same scenario with images that are handled by AssetPipeline1.9.9— that are supposed to be inserted dynamically on the page. How can I generate the URL pointing this resource? I know, I can always provide a static String for the URL, but it seems there would be a more proper solution.
EDIT
I was asked if I could move the local JSON file directly under the assets/javascript root directory instead of placing it under a subdirectory to for an easier solution. I prefer not to, for organization purposes.
Have you tried asset.assetPath(src: "/me/json/local.json")
The assets plugin looks in all of the immediate children of assets/. Your local.json file would need to be placed in /project/assets/foo/ for your current code to pick it up.
Check out the relevant documentation here which contains an example.
The first level deep within the assets folder is simply used for organization purposes and can contain folders of any name you wish. File types also don't need to be in any specific folder. These folders are omitted from the URL mappings and relative path calculations.

How to create and load a configuration file in dxl

I have a script which saves some files at a given location. It works fine but when I send this code to someone else, he has to change the paths in the code. It's not comfortable for someone who does not know what is in that code and for me to explain every time where and how the code should be changed.
I want to get this path in a variable which will be taken from the configuration file. So it will be easier for everyone to change just this config file and nothing in my code. But I have never done this before and could not find any information on how I can do this in the internet.
PS: I do not have any code and I ask about an ultimate solution but it is really difficult to find something good in the internet about dxl, especially since I'm new with that. Maybe someone of you already does that or has an idea how it could be done?
DXL has a perm to read the complete context of a file into a variable: string readFile (string) (or Buffer readFile (string))
you can split the output by \n and then use regular expressions to find all lines that match the pattern
^\s*([^;#].*)\s*=\s*(.*)\s*$
(i.e. key = value - where comment lines start with ; or #)
But in DOORS I prefer using DOORS modules as configuration modules. Object Heading can be the key, Object Text can be the value.
Hardcode the full name of the configuration module into your DXL file and the user can modify the behaviour of the application.
The advantage over a file is that you need not make assumptions on where the config file is to be stored on the file system.
It really depends on your situation. You are going to need to be a little more specific about what you mean by "they need to change the paths in the code". What are these paths to? Are they DOORS module paths, are they paths to local/network files, or are the something else entirely?
Like user3329561 said, you COULD use a DOORS module as a configuration file. I wouldn't recommend it though, simply because that is not what DOORS modules were designed for. DOORS is fully capable of reading system files in one line at a time as well as all at once, but I can't recommend that option either until I know what types of paths you want to load and why.
I suspect that there is a better solution for your problem that will present itself once more information is provided.
I had the same problem, I needed to specify the path of my configuration file used in my dxl script.
I solved this issue passing the directory path as a parameter to DOORS.exe as follow:
"...\DOORS\9.3\bin\doors.exe" -dxl "string myVar = \"Hello Word\"
then in my dxl script, the variable myVar is a global variable.

Will HTML5 app.manifest work with MVC style URLS?

Given the following example manifest:
CACHE MANIFEST
# v1 2011-08-14
# This is another comment
index.html
cache.html
http://somedomain.com/abc/xyz/
/style/css
controller/view/1
# Use from network if available
NETWORK:
/api
# Fallback content
FALLBACK:
/ fallback.html
Will "/style/css" and "/controller/view/1" work, or does it require actual file names? I keep reading about putting "files" there, but on other sites I read "URI". I'm assuming URI is correct. So, are full AND relative URIs allowed? Any cross-browser/device issues to be aware of?
BTW 1: Yes, I'm aware that "file names" are just part of a URI, and names don't dictate content (image.png could download a text file, for example, if one wanted to). I only want to confirm that URIs work well in the CACHE MANIFEST section, thanks.
BTW 2: I'm aware that Mozilla states URI for the cache manifest, so as mentioned, I just want to confirm.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Using_the_application_cache
You can use a dynamic manifest file which is actually designed to work with MVC. I've not had chance to use it myself but it looks really good!
