I'm using Yeoman 1.0 and the latest version of the Backbone generator and everything I've written is working in development, however when I $ grunt build the resulting /dist is throwing the error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: Backbone is not defined
Unfortunately, since the js has been minified, trying to debug is almost pointless. Is there a way to "build" without the minification? I've tried playing around with settings in the gruntfile but can't seem to find the right options for the right task.
Can you share your GruntFile.js to check the configurations?
By the way, you can omit the minification, don't use uglify or whatever task you have been running so, give it a try to grunt-contrib-copy task which copies the files to designated folder (prod/dist).
https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-copy
// Configuration goes here
grunt.initConfig({
// Configure the copy task to move files from the development to production folders
copy: {
target: {
files: {
'prod/': ['dev/**']
}
}
},
});

I wanted to do an Angular graph for my current project in StackMEAN, and I found this solutions:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-angular-modules-graph
https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-angular-architecture-graph
But, I don't understand how it works, and how I can configured it correctly.
Which is the Gruntfile.js? It's the Gruntfile.js that is inside my node_modules/grunt-angular-architecture-graph? Or another?
I'm not sure about how to modificated that file:
grunt.initConfig({
'modules-graph': {
options: {
// Task-specific options go here.
},
your_target: {
files: {
'destination-file.dot': ['src/*.js']
}
},
},
});
What is exactly destination-file.dot? Where is it located? And what is ['src/*.js']? Is it my code source? What happens if I got my source into folders?
In the other hand, I don't know how to run Grunt task, or if they are
automatically done when I do "npm install".
Also, is there solution more easy to do a Angular graph?
First of all I don't know if you're really using MEAN.JS, or another mean stack project. If you're using the latest MEAN.JS I believe it now uses only Gulp instead of Grunt. Eitherway if you see a file named gruntfile.js in your project root directory, then you're good to go.
Since grunt-angular-modules-graph advises to use grunt-angular-architecture-graph instead, I'll give some instructions regarding it.
As stated in grunt-angular-architecture-graph docs, you just have to enable its task in your project's gruntfile.js file with this line:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-angular-architecture-graph');
Then add the following code block, where you must set the path for all your js files (related with Angular):
angular_architecture_graph: {
diagram: {
files: {
// "PATH/TO/OUTPUT/FILES": ["PATH/TO/YOUR/FILES/*.js"]
"architecture": [
"<%= projectConfig.app %>/<%= projectConfig.project %>/**/*.js"
]
}
}
}
Then you have to register the task:
grunt.registerTask('diagram', ['angular_architecture_graph']);
After this configuration you can use Grunt to run the task by going to your project root directory (where your gruntfile.js is located) and do the following command in the console:
grunt diagram
If everything is set correctly the task should be executed.
For more information regarding Grunt and how to create and register task, I suggest reading the official Grunt documentation.
I have "angular-i18n" installed as a bower dependency.
When I run grunt serve or grunt build I have receive warning:
angular-i18n was not injected in your file. Please go take a look in
"/$APP_ROOT/bower_components/angular-i18n" for the file you need, then
manually include it in your file.
How can I remove this message?
Does making grunt insert this file into my index.html remove this warning?
Background
It appears that your Grunt tasks are using wiredep to look at your Bower dependencies and inject the tags for loading their associated files (link for CSS, script for JS, etc) into your HTML.
wiredep does this by looking at the bower.json file on your project to figure out what you need, then looking in the bower.json file of each dependency to figure out what they need, and so on. Having developed a dependency tree, wiredep uses the main property in the bower.json files to determine what files from each needed package should be linked into your HTML.
When a package does not have an appropriate bower configuration (missing bower.json or missing/improper main property), wiredep warns you about that problem so that you know it couldn't automatically add what you need. In other words, it's telling you that not all assets have been added to your built HTML, and that you need to manually intervene to add what's missing.
General solution
Generally, there is nothing you can do in your own code to correct this. Manually linking the file in your HTML (outside of the wiredep marked areas so as to avoid having it overwritten) will ensure your project works. wiredep, however, will always warn you when it runs because the package itself still has the problem. You'd need to open an issue to the owner of the problem package in order to ask them to correct their packaging meta info.
The project you're having issues with
I searched bower for the angular-i18n package and found that the project is hosted at https://github.com/angular/bower-angular-i18n . If you look at angular-i18n's bower.json you can see that it is missing the main property. This is why the warning is being issued.
As it turns out, though, it seems appropriate that this project does not offer a main property. The documentation for angular-i18n shows that you should bower install it, then manually link to the file that is appropriate for your desired locale. It would not be appropriate for this package to list a main file because it provides many files, none of which should be dictated as necessary by the package--it's a developer choice.
A possible solution for this case
If the warning really bothers you, or you do not like the need to manually link to the file, you could fork this package to your own GitHub account and modify the bower.json file to point main to the file you want loaded. Then you would remove angular-i18n as a dependency for your project, and add your fork's repo as a dependency instead.
Caveats:
This may cause issues keeping up to date if you are unfamiliar with maintaining Git repos/forks.
This will only work if angular-i18n is listed as an explicit dependency of your own project and is not being loaded in as a dependency for another project. If another project is loading this package, you'd have to start forking projects all the way down the tree such that you could override the configuration of each.
All in all, in this case it's probably best to manually link to the file you want and ignore the warning.
I'm getting this error message using angular-i18n in a yeoman project. The wiredep grunt task makes this error message. There are 2 solutions:
1. Exclude angular-i18n and include the file manually in the index.html
Gruntfile.js
wiredep: {
app: {
src: ['<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html'],
ignorePath: /\.\.\//,
exclude: [
'bower_components/angular-i18n'
]
}
}
index.html
<script src="bower_components/angular-i18n/angular-locale_de-de.js"></script>
or:
2. Override/Set main attribute of bower_components/angular-i18n/bower.json
Gruntfile.js
wiredep: {
app: {
src: ['<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html'],
ignorePath: /\.\.\//,
overrides: {
'angular-i18n': {
'main': 'angular-locale_de-de.js'
}
}
}
}
I choose to go with the second option overriding the main attribute. This way in the index.html the angular-i18n library still gets automatically injected by the grunt task.
I'm trying to figure out the right way to add any eventual new library (for example I need angularJS ui-router) in an onsen app.
I installed bower and then downloaded ui-router.
Since I do not know exactly the way Gulp is used, I got confused on what I'm suppose to do.
At the moment, I have the following folders:
bower_components, hooks, merges, node, modules, platforms, plugins, www
The index.html has the following reference:
What I suppose to do, now?
manually copy the ui-router js files in /www/lib/
configure gulp to copy the files automatically
change the script tag src and make the reference to the bower_component folder
change the Bower default folder
could you please guide me on sort it out?
tnx
At the end I chose the option 2.
I edited the file gulpfile.js adding a new custom task supposed to copy the missing bower libraries.
var mainBowerFiles = require('main-bower-files');
gulp.task('copy-bower-libs', function() {
return gulp.src(mainBowerFiles())
.pipe(gulp.dest(__dirname + "/www/lib/bower/js"))
});
I am using Grunt in my project (Yeoman based), but when I try to build my app with the grunt build command, I have the following errors when images are loaded :
GET http://mydomain.com/dist/images/login_user.png 404 (Not Found)
I understand that they are not found after the building process because they have been minified and now they have this name :
3f59e511.login_user.png
But I can not find what to change in my bower.json file to change their name by the minified one in my app's files. Thanks for your help
UPDATE
I used the dependency below to correct a problem I had before ( see AngularJS Inject service in .run function
uglify: {
options: {
mangle: false
}
},
And I think the error could come from that but I don't know exactly why.
Actually when you build your application the dist folder will be cleaned up, and grunt then will create new files using the source files that you specified in the gruntfile. So use the grunt copy dependency to move the image to the dist folder at runtime.
Using gulpjs and bower, Id like to start with the bower.json file to call on what package dependencies I want (ideally start the build with html 5 boilerplate, then backbone). Since the whole point of using gulp is for easy project management I would like to understand how to auto insert the scripts in to my project (pulling from the bower_components dir) and add the path to my head tags, I assume this is a responsibility gulp should be handling, in the link below I am under the impression grunt does provide this functionality, so if grunt can gulp should be able to.
This tut seems to cover everything I am looking for, except it is using gruntjs with the plugin "grunt-bowercopy" http://simonsmith.io/managing-bower-components-with-grunt/
So does anyone know how to get gulp and bower to play nicely. It would be cool to download the html 5 boilerplate, then for my javascript include backbone/jquery as well as some css like fontawesome and such with one command bower update, and have it insert the script tags in my header, and pull the main files I need into my project (this would kill a lot of tedious work). I assume grunt does handle this specifically with the "grunt-bowercopy" plugin, so essentially I am looking for a plugin "gulp-bowercopy" or something that provides this?
I still have a lot to learn about gulp/grunt and how to really leverage them, but this seems like an awesome tool to have.

You should then consider looking into either:
gulp-bower
or gulp-bower-files
as they likely provide the same functionality as grunt-bowercopy.
You can just use wiredep directly like the gulp Yeoman generator does. Here's a code sample from the gulpfile.js.
var wiredep = require('wiredep').stream;
gulp.task('wiredep', function () {
gulp.src('app/styles/*.scss')
.pipe(wiredep({
directory: 'app/bower_components',
ignorePath: 'app/bower_components/'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/styles'));
gulp.src('app/*.html')
.pipe(wiredep({
directory: 'app/bower_components',
ignorePath: 'app/'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('app'));
});
