In a Rails app I consume data from an external service in json format.
Right now I do something like.
json-data = $get ....
template = "<div>..{{whatever}}..</div>"
$('#target').append Mustache.to_html(template, json-data)
And it works fine. However, more and more the app and the templates grow I wish to be able to store the template in separate files (also because I'm starting to have some duplications).
I have created the folder app/assets/templates and put there myTemp.mustache template. But, now I don't know how to load it into my script.
Any suggestions?
Thanks and have a nice day.
You should take a look at the awesome gem http://github.com/railsware/smt_rails . It is very easy to use
There is great cast from RyanB Sharing Mustache Templates and here is the sample code episode-295 in case you don't have pro subscription. Also look in this gem.

I have an MVC application that can accept a file. It basically follows the example shown here for uploading a single file: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/upload-files-in-asp-net-mvc-5/.
However, I would like to create a command line console utility from which I can upload a file. I think that I very generally understand this would likely involve creating a web request, adding certain headers, and attaching a byte array for the file but I'm a bit lost as to what this entails specifically.
Also for the console application, I will obviously modify the action to return a json result instead of a view.
Oh my gosh it was so much easier than I expected. I just used the WebClient.UploadFile() method and it worked like a charm.
I am writing a Program in Rub On Rails 4.x and I have to take PDF files with defined fields that can be filled out, fill in data from a form submission(This part is DONE!), and lastly allow the user to modify the saved PDF file on the server and overwrite said PDF after making their modifications.
Like I said I have already gotten the PDF files filled out with what has been submitted in the form through pdftk . What I now need to do is provide a server side editing capability to the said PDF files on server generated from the first step of the process.
I have seen similar posts but none wanting to do the same thing I do. If I am wrong links would be great. Thanks in advance for all your help!
After lots of digging and research here is what I have found to be the facts surrounding this issue and implementing a program to allow embedding the PDF file, editing it, and saving it back to the server. This process would be great however from what I can tell there is nothing out there that really does this for Ruby On Rails. To quote #Nick Veys
Seems like you need to find a Javascript PDF editor you can load your PDF into, allow the user to modify it, and ultimately submit it back to the server. Seems like they exist, here's one for ASP projects
You are correct but still wrong in the sense that yes there is one for ASP projects however that is Microsoft Based, yes I know that it can run on Linux environments through Mono. However to the point it would appear in this instance that a Ruby On Rails specific solution is indeed needed.
The solution that we have come up with is as follows
1. Use a PDF editing package in the linux repositories like PDFtk
2. You then render a page with the PDF embeded on one side and a form representing the live fields in the PDF to take input.
3. Once submitted you use PDFtk to write the values into a new template PDF file and overwrite what was previously stored.
This requires a few additional steps to process the data than I really care for myself. However it is the best solution that our team could come up with, without bleeding the project budget dry for just 1 piece of functionality.
I hope this helps anyone else looking to do the same thing in Ruby On Rails.
I have done something like this using my company's .NET product. It can also be done using its Java version too.

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
We have an FTP site for clients, and they just go to it with a web browser and see the files. I'd like to display the files in a more visually pleasing manner, is there a way I can show what files are on the server in the view, perhaps iterate over them and style them?
I found this answer here, but really didn't answer my question:
Ruby-Rails serve ftp file direct to client
(using rails 3 if it makes a difference)
You can use library links below:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/net/ftp/rdoc/index.html
http://oreilly.com/catalog/ruby/chapter/ch04.html
and you can use EventMachine https://github.com/schleyfox/em-ftp-client.

I develop rails applications with my designer who has minimum knowledge about rails.
She works on Windows through file-sharing from a Linux server.
She always has hard time finding view files to work on.
I usually use 'grep' to find a view file.
But she can't.
If you have a good suggestion, please share with me.
I have an idea which may be overkill.
Is there a way to automatically add comments around view files (including layouts and partials?) in html file?
Like this:
<!--Starting app/views/some_dir/some_file.html.erb-->
HTML here...
<!--Ending app/views/some_dir/some_file.html.erb-->
This way, my designer can find the file very easily.
Of course, this should be automatic and development environment only.
Thanks.

I use the Rails Footnotes gem (https://github.com/josevalim/rails-footnotes) in some of my projects which allows me to click a link in the footer of my app that opens the current view (also shows partials) in TextMate. Not sure if it could be customised to work with a Windows text editor but you could look at the URL to work out the file name.
I.e to open a file in MacVim, it creates the following link:
mvim://open?url=file:///Users/steveholt/Sites/foo/app/views/projects/log.html.haml
and for TextMate:
txmt://open?url=file:///Users/steveholt/Sites/foo/app/views/projects/log.html.haml
