I have a question, I want to use angular 2 in maven project, and as you now the modules should download with ( npm install or ng new .. (cli) ).
The problem is if I generate the war file with all this modules, it will be very large because of the presence of all the nodejs modules.
In one of Github example they install this modules with ( npm install ) and finally goes to the home directory and run spring-boot:run
I want directly deploy my war file, so my question is : i should generate the war file with the all the modules and dependencies of nodejs or there is another solution ?
Three ways:
add all node_modules dependencies in to your version control, so source is always there, or copy necessary js libraries manually in specific source folder, like angular.min.js and so on (if your node.js is not available on your server, by security reason)
create execution goal inside pom.xml, something like

use https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin and check existing examples, I am sure your case is straight forward

Primarily, I'm trying to integrate a react application (Created and build separately) with Drupal.
Problem
Unable to install private package from Bitbucket using npm install git#bitbucket.org:user/shared-package.git in Drupal app, because no package.json found.
Implementation Details
Development Environment
To achieve this in development environment I run npm run build which produces the following content in dist directory.
Not going in the details of what are the roles of other files but to make the things work, I just need to copy bundle.js file and paste it inside a directory under app/web/themes/custom/abc_themes/js/.
This is okay for development environment to copy a folder from one project and paste it into another. However, for production environment it' not viable.
Production Environment
In production we thought to create a private package on Bitbucket, where through Bitbucket pipelines on every commit we trigger a build and push that build 's result into a separate repo (i.e. private package).
Here is the content that is pushed to the so-called private package. Since it's the entire react application (not a library) therefore when it builds it creates compiled js and doesn't contain packgae.json.
Now if I try to install this package throught npm install
code ENOLOCAL
npm ERR! Could not install from "bitbucket.org:user/shared-package.git" as it does not contain a package.json file.
That is obvious but to solve this I can't convert my project into a library. Because even if I convert it to a library, Drupal needs a build js file at the specified directory to work.
Expectation
Want to know if there is a way I could install that private package (that doesn't have package.json) into Drupal application.
OR any other way around to achieve the same.
NOTE: I know one solution could be to host the build file at some CDN and pull it from there. But problem is, the Drupal app might be running behind a corporate network and users won't be able to access the internet openly. Therefore, we want to make the react app a part of build process, so once Drupal is served, react application would be a part of it already. No loading at runtime.
I am setting up am Angular.js project from scratch. And I would like to keep it on Github inside a repository.
I have a simple question but I couldn't find a comprehensive answer for it. After establishing the project basic scaffold, and installing some node modules with NPM, there are many libraries, node-modules and etc in project structure. Also there are files of the framework for example Sails framework. Since a developer can install them by running npm install, which files should I push into the repository? Which ones don't need to be pushed?
The problem is, Source tree shows all new files as not staged, and I am confused which one I should exclude, which I should commit.
From personal experience, 2 types of files can be ignored in git
3rd party libraries, which can be installed using npm/bower etc.
Generated files, like css generated from less, minified js files, etc.
which files should I push into the repository?
Any files related to your application that contain business logic, routing, or other files that you've added to the project that are required for your app to run.
Which ones don't need to be pushed?
You should add node_modules to your .gitignore file. In almost all scenarios it would be unnecessary to include installed packages because your package.json maintains a list of packages to install when calling npm install.
If you're not sure about where to start with a .gitignore file, this is the defacto Node.js .gitignore file that is generated by GitHub & many popular IDE's. Just add that file to your project folder and git will automatically detect it, you should include your .gitignore as part of your repository files.
Additionally, if you're using Bower for front-end package management, you should add your bower.json to your repository and add the bower_components directory to your .gitignore.
I have access to an Angular app in a Github repo. I'm added as a contributor. The developers are using Grunt and I want to work with one of the branches.
To build a dev. environment locally- can I do the following?
Create a project folder
Clone the github repo. to this folder
NPM install //from inside the project folder - will this read package.json and install Grunt and the other dependencies?
Run grunt build
Is this the standard way of setting-up local environments? I don't want to create a branch or push anything yet.. will get to that at a later point.
Any suggestions/ advice or tips ?
I'm trying to upload my Yeoman Angular app to a git repo so that other developers can work on it. How do I go about it? Meaning, which files/folders should be uploaded and which can be skipped? I don't want the other developers to run the yo angular command, because it creates a new app with the folder name altogether. I tried copy pasting my folder contents to a new folder, excluded the node and bower modules, then ran npm install and bower install on this new folder. But now it fails to find phantomjs plugin. Is there a proper standard way to do what I'm trying to achieve?
Just pushed it as is. There is a .gitignore file which handles everything. The unwanted folders are automatically ignored.
How do I add these JS packages to a meteor project? Do I simply place the JS files in the public folder so the client and server can access them? Or is there some specific steps that I need to follow?
These kind of standalone libraries can be directly placed in the /lib directory under your project.
For use on both the client and the server, place them into project/lib folder.
Or if you want to use them only at client-side, place them as usual in project/client/lib
In short, It depends.
I would recommend you check out http://atmosphere.meteor.com for a list of packages. If what you're looking for is there, install meteorite with npm install -g meteorite (https://github.com/oortcloud/meteorite)
Once you have metorite installed you can install these community packages quite easily using mrt add packagename
Most packages are on http://atmosphere.meteor.com.
But if for some reason the JS package you want isn't on atmosphere, depending on the package, if its a UI package (e.g datepicker, etc) put it in the /client/lib folder to avoid meteor crashing (only accessible by client).
If its a type of module abstractor (e.g backbone - backbone is included in meteor already btw: add using meteor add backbone) you could put it in the /lib directory of your package, it will be referenced automatically by both the server and client.
You have to add the packages via console.
Type "meteor add accounts-password" for example.
See here
Perhaps you should watch some of these videos here
to get an idea how meteor packages are added.
