Accessing markdown files with Vercel and Remix.run - vercel

I'd like to know if it's possible to deploy a Remix.run project on Vercel that accesses markdown files. A project just like the blog tutorial;
// posts.js
const postsPath = path.join(__dirname, "..", "posts");
The warning says: "If you did not use the Remix App Server you'll probably need to add an extra ".." on the path. Also note that you can't deploy this demo anywhere that doesn't have a persistent file system.".
I tried with an extra "..". I thought Vecel could have a permanent file system with "ENABLE_FILE_SYSTEM_API": "1" but it's apparently not the case. Or is it?
Here is the Remix config:
module.exports = {
appDirectory: 'app',
assetsBuildDirectory: 'public/build',
publicPath: '/build/',
serverBuildDirectory: 'api/_build',
ignoredRouteFiles: ['.*'],
// mdx,
}

Vue CLI deploy to a subfolder using relative paths

Using Vue CLI, and Vue 2.
Anyone knows how to build the project using relative paths, so I can place it in any subfolder in my server and it will work? (for example www.mysite.com/subfolder/)
I've tried with
// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
publicPath: "",
};
And it builds the paths relative (ie, js/app.js instead of /js/app.js), but the app wont' load. Nothing shows on the page.
Strangest thing is that all files are loaded correctly (I can check on network tab in Chrome devtools), no JS errors, etc. So the page is loading all the files but it seems like it's refusing to mount the app when using relative paths.
I know that I can add the absolute path to the build process but that's not what I need. My client needs to be able to move the files freely from one subfolder to another and the app should work without the need to recompile
PS: Also tried building the project with Vite and Vue 3, same problem.
Thanks!
Alright, looks like all that's needed is:
build with a relative publicPath (empty string)
// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
publicPath: "",
};
add a <base> tag to the final HTML...
<base href="/subfolder/" />
For Vite, the export should be
// vite.config.js
export default {
...
base: "",
};

How to uglify a js file upon building the vue project

I have a VUE2 project and in the public folder I created an iframe.html file that will be loaded in an iframe.
That iframe will also load a javascript.js file that I want encoded/uglified upon "npm run build" but I also want to be able to access it during dev.
How could I proceed?
Should this js file be placed inside the /src/assets/ folder and referenced from the iframe.html file? If yes, any advice?
Or should it stay in the public folder and upod the dist folder being built, encode it with something.
Any solution is welcome, thanks in advance!
Edit: Here are further details of how I use the iframe.
First, I'm referencing the .vue file in the router like so:
{
path: "/pages/:id/edit",
name: "edit",
component: () => import("../views/Edit.vue"),
},
Next, in the Edit.vue file, I add the iframe like so (note how it's referencing iframe.html that is in the public directory):
<iframe
id="iframe"
ref="iframe"
src="iframe.html"
/>
Next, in the iframe.html it's just normal html code, with this part including the javascript.js file (that actually is in the public folder as well for now)
<script src="javascript.js"></script>
You can explicitly include the .js file in your Webpack config by adding a rule for UglifyJsPlugin:
npm i -D uglifyjs-webpack-plugin
const UglifyJsPlugin = require('uglifyjs-webpack-plugin');
...
module.exports = {
optimization: {
minimizer: [
new UglifyJsPlugin({
include: /\/regex-for-file/,
minimize: true
})
]
}
...
};
In Vue.config.js, this might look like:
configureWebpack: {
plugins : [
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
uglifyOptions: {
include: /\/regex-for-file/,
minimize: true
}
)}
]
}
Another option is to use uglify-es; this would allow you to get even more explicit by specifying from where to copy the file during build (assuming you might want the file located outside of src/):
npm i -D uglify-es // CopyWebpackPlugin ships w/ Vue's Webpack conf by default
const UglifyJS = require('uglify-es');
const { resolve } = require('path');
const resolveAbs = (dir) => resolve(__dirname, dir);
new CopyWebpackPlugin([
{
from: resolveAbs('../external'),
to: config.build.assetsSubDirectory
},
{
from: resolveAbs('../src/custom-build-path'),
to: config.build.assetsServerDirectory,
transform: (content, path) => UglifyJS.minify(content.toString()).code;
}
]),
To be able to access it during dev, you can include the path of the js file (relative to your Vue src directory) using the resolve.alias option in the config (so you don't need to deal with possibly ridiculous relative paths in your project). Finally, you can look into webpack's HTML plugin docs for info on importing an external index.html file if needed
I would recommend not putting it in static; by default it will not be minified and built if placed in that directory.
Update/edit: Sorry, I saw a 'uglify' and just assumed you wanted uglify js. As long as the script is in your Vue project directory (or otherwise specified in the Webpack config) the file should be minified during build. Vue has pretty smart defaults for Webpack; assuming the iframe is being referenced somewhere in the app i.e. the dependency graph it will be built.

how to override vue cli-service entry settings

I'm trying to integrate a vue project that I built with the vue cli into an existing .net app. I'm very new to vue, so I'm trying to follow guides and such, but am left with lots of questions.
While trying to compile this, I found that the vue cli-service node module has the following for setting the main.js file located in it's base.js file.
webpackConfig
.mode('development')
.context(api.service.context)
.entry('app')
.add('./src/main.js')
.end()
.output
.path(api.resolve(options.outputDir))
.filename(isLegacyBundle ? '[name]-legacy.js' : '[name].js')
.publicPath(options.publicPath)
I need to override this since my .net app doesn't have a src directory and the usage of this vue app won't follow that path structure. I'm not seeing a way to do it in my vue.config.js file. I would expect that if I can override it, that would be the spot.
I could overwrite the base.js file where this exists, but when a co-worker runs npm install, they would get the default value rather than what I have. The only option I see there is checking in all the node modules to git which we really don't want to do.
For anyone in a similar situation, I found what worked for me. It's not the ideal solution due to the fact that it forces you to build into a js folder. That resulted in the file being put in Scripts\build\vue\js. Would be nice to be able to just dump it in the vue folder, but at least this works. Code below.
vue.config.js
module.exports = {
publicPath : "/",
outputDir: "Scripts/build/vue", //where to put the files
// Modify Webpack config
// https://cli.vuejs.org/config/#chainwebpack
chainWebpack: config => {
// Not naming bundle 'app'
config.entryPoints.delete('app'); //removes what base.js added
},
// Overriding webpack config
configureWebpack: {
// Naming bundle 'bundleName'
entry: {
quote: './Scripts/Quote/index.js' //where to get the main vue app js file
},
optimization: {
splitChunks: false
}
},
filenameHashing: false,
pages: {
quoteApp: { //by using pages, it allowed me to name the output file quoteApp.js
entry: './Scripts/Quote/index.js',
filename: 'index.html'
}
}
}

How to setup environment files for dev, local and prod api urls, flag in NativeScript Vue?

The agenda is to use certain flags and a specific api base url for different modes say dev, local and prod in my NativeScript Vue app.
Just like NativeScript angular has environment.[mode].ts files?
I've tried using .env.[mode] files, by referring to VueJs docs
// https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/mode-and-env.html#environment-variables.com
But this did not favour the scenario.
// Something like this of a config,
module.exports = {
NODE_ENV: "production",
ROOT_API: "some api url"
}
The config should be accessible like this
process.env.ROOT_API throughout the app.
Refer the Pass Environment Variables section in the docs.
You can also provide environmental variables to the Webpack build:
$ tns build android --bundle --env.development --env.property=value
They can be accessed through the env object in the Webpack
configuration:
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = env => {
console.dir(env); // { development: true, property: 'value' }
}
You may update your DefinePlugin something like below,
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
"global.TNS_WEBPACK": "true",
"global.ENV_NAME": JSON.stringify(name),
"global.ENV_PROPERTY": JSON.stringify(env.property),
process: undefined,
}),
Now using global.ENV_PROPERTY anywhere in your project should be replaced by actual value you pass in command line at compile time.
If you are familar with webpack, you may also configure the CopyWebpackPlugin to copy right environment file to your app instead of having variable for each configuration.

Vue CLI v3 - How does it know what JS files should be chunked in a different file(s)

I am having hard times wrapping my mind around new CLI and configuration.
In the official documentation, I couldn't really find anything about CSS and how to add it as an entry point and not import it directly into an component or main.js file.
I realized that some JS files are being chunked into separate file, from main.js and the rest gets compiled where supposed to - into the app.js.
I was wondering, how does it know in the background what should be stored as "vendor" for the JS, but when I try to import some "vendor" SASS files into main.js it does not and it merges all within a single app.css file.
Can anyone tell me, how does one create/modify the vue.config.js and tell the bundler that I also want app.scss to be an entry point and vendor.scss to be another entry point.
I am unsure what are best practices for such purpose, but I always did it this way with my own webpack config...
Partial example below:
entry: {
vendor: [
'./styles/vendor.scss',
'./scripts/vendor.js'
],
app: [
'./styles/app.scss',
'./scripts/app.js'
]
}
EDIT #1
I think I got the first one...
"How does it know what should be chunked in "vendor" files?
Whatever gets imported from node_modules, it is being chunked.
What I did not figure out yet is... What if I am having my personal assets/styles/vendor directory where I #import those SASS files from NPM and do some modifications of variables or whatever.
Importing this file to main.js does not get chunked in this case... So there must be a way to tell bundler that I want everything within that directory or everything within vendor.scss file where everything is being imported, to be chunked out.
EDIT #2
I figured I can use WebPack's magical comments to import the main vendor SCSS file, such as:
import(/* webpackChunkName: "vendor" */ './assets/styles/vendor.scss')
I don't have a problem with this, but apparently the bundler does. It generates an empty vendor.[hash].js file as well.
EDIT #3
I did further research and learned that there's a command vue inspect which would output the webpack configuration.
So when making tweaks to vue.config.js, we can look a the output with this command if there's a bug or something is not working as expected.
Further more, I learned that if we specify entry directly in our vue.config.js file, that we will get an error that entry cannot be specified within our configuration file.
The following is forbidden to do so, but it's what I actually want to achieve...
// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
entry: {
app: [
'./src/main.js',
'./src/assets/styles/app.scss'
],
vendor: [
'./src/assets/styles/vendor.scss'
]
}
}
The actual proper way to do this will be an answer to my own question...
The way to achieve this is by using WebPack's Chain API.
However, if I did everything correctly, I still see a problem of generated vendor.[hash].js file with some WebPack module boilerplate. This JS file is also being injected to the index.html template.
Which leads to the same outcome as the attempt of my EDIT #2, except that we're no longer importing our Sass files within main.js
To modify entry points for my purpose of this question, we can do it the following way:
// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
chainWebpack: config => {
config
.entry('app')
.add('./src/assets/styles/app.scss')
.end()
.entry('vendor')
.add('./src/assets/styles/vendor.scss')
.end()
}
}
Note
We're not specifying the app entry JS file, which would be main.js by default, because we're not overriding the current entry point. Instead, we're extending it, so everything works as expected.
UPDATE
Until WebPack resolves this in future major releases, I found a great package - fqborges/webpack-fix-style-only-entries. It solves this issue that I was having and I'd suggest you to use it.
Final configuration would look like this:
const FixStyleOnlyEntries = require('webpack-fix-style-only-entries')
module.exports = {
chainWebpack: config => {
config
.entry('app')
.add('./src/assets/styles/app.scss')
.end()
.entry('vendor')
.add('./src/assets/styles/vendor.scss')
.end()
},
configureWebpack: {
plugins: [
new FixStyleOnlyEntries()
]
}
}
UPDATE #2
After further investigation and use of such configuration for projects, I realized that I had to use !important in styles where I had a need to override anything vendor related.
This is simply because WebPack will inject app, before vendor (both JS and CSS) and it will cause such issue.
Even if we modify the configuration from above and move app entry, below the vendor entry, it will still fail. Reason being, because we're modifying the entry point which already exists by default within vue-cli config. We're adding more entries to the app and we're adding new vendor entry.
To fix this issue of ordering, we must delete the app entirely and then create it ourselves.
const FixStyleOnlyEntries = require('webpack-fix-style-only-entries')
module.exports = {
chainWebpack: config => {
config.entryPoints.delete('app')
config
.entry('vendor')
.add('./src/assets/styles/vendor.scss')
.end()
.entry('app')
.add('./src/main.js')
.add('./src/assets/styles/app.scss')
.end()
},
configureWebpack: {
plugins: [
new FixStyleOnlyEntries()
]
}
}
