I have an AngularJS project that I am thinking of migrating to Dart. I do not want to migrate the whole project in a big-bang, so I am looking for ways to run the two apps side-by-side.
The dart app will run on the root as index.html. The js app will run on a separate path, say '/jsApp'.
When I build a test project, it seems that the /build directory includes a lot of unnecessary files. Would I need to deploy the complete contents of the /build/web directory?
What is it that actually gets loaded? Do html files still get loaded at runtime or are they bundled into the main file?
Do I need main.dart.js as well as main.dart.precompiled.js? It seems that they are very large files for a trivial app. Is that to be expected?
It is still unclear to me how all these things hang together.
If you want to keep the generated files as small as possible, you should:
Make sure your pubspec.yaml includes the angular transformer, as explained here: Angulardart. Creating your first app
Your pubspec.yaml should look like this:
name: angular_dart_demo
version: 0.0.1
dependencies:
angular: 0.12.0
[...]
transformers:
- angular
html_files:
- web/my_html_template.html
- web/another_html_template.html
Build from the command line with pub build
This way you will get 800KB js, instead of 5MB js ;)
That's because Angular Dart uses mirrors and, as a result, the generated js code can get very big if you don't use the angular transformer.
I think html templates are copied to the build directory and will be requested at runtime.
You will have to merge the contents you get from "pub build" with your existing js application somehow.
I am using AngularJS with Dart controllers mixed in. You do not have to adapt your current project structure to use the pub build. Just use dart2js to compile the individual dart files and include the ".js" files in your page. You do not have to add the native dart script tag or include the dart bootstrap in your code. Just include a script tag for the generated js file (the only file you need) and it will do what you expect. I plan to write up a brief overview of this soon.
Normally the entire build directory needs to be deployed and there are normally no unnecessary files.
The *.precompiled.js files are not generated anymore in recent Dart builds (this was for CSP compliance).
What Dart version are you using?
If you build in debug mode also the source map files are generated in the build directory.
The browser loads the HTML file the user requests and then loads the script files references in <script> tags in this HTML and all other resources (img, css, ...)
I don't know if the build output of an Angular component with an external HTML-template file is inlined in the index.html or if they are copied as they are.

I'm using CodePush to deploy the js bundle and a couple of resources to my react-native iOS app. Instead of using the react-native bundler to collect all the static images from my project I have a build step that just copies a folder called "static" into release/assets. But beside the "static" folder I als have other folders in release/assets that contain images and videos wich are use dynamically in the app via uri (e.g. { uri: 'assets/images/myImage.jpg' }). When building the app in XCode I just include the assets folder in the package.
From the CodePush documentation I gather that deploying the release folder should update all my assets. But it doesn't.
I downloaded the xcappdata via XCode and there you can see, that CodePush downloaded everything and stored it in /Library/Application Support/CodePush/[id]/release. But it still doesn't show up in the app.
Any ideas? Do I misunderstand the functionality of CodePush?
As you've seen, when you release a directory to the CodePush server via the CLI, it will round trip the entire contents of it to end-user's devices when they perform an update check/synchronization. That said, just because a file is in that update doesn't mean it will be useable unfortunately.
The behavior that you're seeing is actually a limitation of the way that the Image component resolves URIs in React Native. If you use the assets system to specify the "source" property (via a require("image.png") call), it will look for that file relative to the currently running JS bundle. This is how CodePush allows updating images, because as long as our plugin places the "assets" folder next to the JS bundle file on disk, the <Image> component will naturally find them.
However, when you specify an object with a URI (as you're doing) as the value of the "source" property, the Image component looks for that file relative to the binary on disk, and therefore, it will never look for it where it was placed by CodePush when you update them.
Because of this, CodePush only supports updating images which are loading via the require syntax. I'll make sure to update our docs to clarify that. Apologies for the confusion!
is it possible to minify css and js files inside a specific folder and then use the minified files for a file, let's say the index.html.? Im thinking of using the pom.xml then use the maven-minify-plugin and the replacer plugin but I can't find a good structure.
you should use the static-helper-maven-plugin from WUIC project (http://wuic.github.io/)
The maven plugin relies on WUIC to parse the index.html of your workspace, collects js/css used inside it, resolve them, minify them, aggregate them and rewrite the index.html with a version number in URLs to burst client cache in case of any change.
wiki: https://github.com/wuic/wuic/wiki/Process-at-build-time
The WUIC's website is generated optimized with this approach:
- source: https://github.com/wuic/wuic.github.io
- result: https://github.com/wuic/wuic.github.io/tree/master
Im trying to use the standard neo4j visualisation in a seperate Website (not the original Neo4j Webbrowser). Therefore I downloaded the library from here:
https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/tree/master/community/browser/lib/visualization
I really struggle with using it. I actually have no real idea. I tried including it into a html file but hardly failed.
Did anyone do this? Would be very nice, if someone could help me out.
Thanks a lot!

Those are all coffee files (coffeescript, which compiles into javascript). It looks like if you go up two levels there's a README which shows you how to start it up using npm and grunt:
https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/tree/master/community/browser
The app itself (maybe it's a node.js app, though I don't see references to node) is under the app directory from there. It has jade files which would be the HTML views (jade compiles to HTML similar to how coffescript compiles to javascript).
So presumably if you get that all set up there will be a server serving up HTML which will compile and serve up those coffeescript files as javascript in the page
I'm ASP.NET MVC v4 for my application, and I'm using the web optimization features (bundling and minification of scripts and styles).
Now, what I understand is (please correct me if wrong), the optimization framework will look at the included files at the time of compilation and configure them. It'll create a version number (v=something) based on the contents. Every time the contents change, it'll recreate the version hash, and the client will get updated files.
Now, is there a way to get the following done
[1] Update something inside a js file in my server, and serve the updated one to the clients without re-building & re-starting the application (I'm not changing bundle configuration here, just updating file content inside a script) ?
[2] Update the script configuration itself (e.g. adding a new script to a bundle), and get that served to the clients without Re-compiling & Re-staring the application? Or, at least without re-compiling? (I know, generally we define the bundles inside cs files, but wondering if there is a way out!)
[3] Is there a way to use my own version number (say from a config file, v=myCustomScriptVersion) rather than the auto-generated version hash?
It's bit late, but I'm just sharing my experience on my own questions here.
As discussed in the comments of the question, bundles are defined as part of a cs file (generally BundleConfig.cs inside App_Start). So, the bundles are defined at compile time, and at application start they will get added to collection and become usable.
Now, the interesting bit. At run-time, the optimization framework looks into the included files and creates a hash of the contents, and appends that as a version query-string to the bundle request. So, when the bundle is called the generated uri is like the below one.
http://example.com/Bundles/MyBundledScripts?v=ILpm9GTTPShzteCf85dcR4x0msPpku-QRNlggE42QN81
This version number v=... is completely dynamic. If any file content within the bundle is changed, this version will be regenerated, and will remain same otherwise.
Now to answer the questions,
[1] This is done automatically by the framework, no need to do anything extra for this. Every time a file content is changed, new version number will be generated and the clients will get the updated scripts.
[2] Not possible. If files included in a bundle are changed, is has to be recompiled.
[3] Yes, it can be used. The custom version number can be added as below.
#Scripts.Render("~/Bundles/MyBundledScripts?v=" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ScriptVersion"])
But Caution! This will remove the automatic versioning based on file contents.
And, additionally, if there are multiple versions of the same file available and we always want to include the latest version available, that can be achieved easily by including a {version} wildcard in bundle configuration like below.
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/Bundles/MyBundledScripts")
.Include(
"~/Scripts/Vendor/someScript-{version}.js"
));
So, if there are 2 scripts in the /Scripts/Vendor folder
someScript-2.3.js
someScript-3.4.js
Then the file someScript-3.4.js (higher version) will get included automatically. And when a new file someScript-4.0.js is added to the folder, that will be served to clients without any need for recompile/restart.
I am using Symfony 1.31 for a brand new project. I have just created a module in the backend app, using the admin generator. To my suprise, it seems no theme ((At all) has been applied to the pages. As I mentioned before, this si abrand new project - I have not even modified the /app/backend/layout.php file yet.
I rember having a similar problem before - I dont remmber how I solved it (I think I had to run a task or copy some files over to the /web folder before the styles/images etc came into efect. Can anyone refresh my memory?
You might need to run the plugin:publish-assets command:
php symfony plugin:publish-assets
This will create symlinks to your plugins' web/ directory inside your project's web/, thus enabling access to sfDoctrinePlugin's (or propel depending what ORM you use) admin-gen styles.
Check your apache configuration and files permissions, and especially the alias to the /sf/ subdirectory. It seems that the .css file corresponding to sf_admin pages are not accessible. You can fix it by adding an Alias to your virtualhost configuration, or allowing symlinks.
(By the way, hint: check your html source, find out the .css url, and try to access it directly with your browser)
