I'd like for my Create React App to generate a file called VERSION.txt that will end up in my deployed site's public directory as part of its build.
I know I can just create a static file in my repo's public/VERSION.txt, but I want its contents to come from an environment variable. The ENV variable is REACT_APP_COMMIT_REF, which is coming from my Netlify setup. I'd like my CRA to put this variable in public/VERSION.txt (so my React app can easily check it to see if a new version exists), but the docs on environment variables says they're only available in index.html (as well as in any source JS code via process.env).
As a workaround for now I've put it in a meta tag in my public/index.html
<meta name="app-version" content="%REACT_APP_COMMIT_REF%" />
but my app code now has to parse this string and I'd rather just have a public/VERSION.txt to achieve this.
Is it possible for CRA to programmatically generate files at build-time?

Hi I received a web project with all already implemented CSS js HTML code, directories, project structure etc.
I have to make changes in view.js but I don’t always have internet access on the move so is there a way to continue this project locally without changing my project structure?
I already have an existing web project whose file contains
-an HTML page
-a CSS file
-a js file
Place in their folders respectively
I want to use view.js on this project
The problem I don’t always have internet access when I’m on the move.
So how do I use seen?
Knowing that:
CDN is a script placed in HTML requiring a connection to run view
-Vue CLI is a package that allows to generate a new project view "certainly out of competition"
But I should start over
Because the directory structure and already predefined what doesn’t suit me.
How does it work?
How to just add view and continue the project without zero spread?
I already installed node.js (npm) on my pc if its can help .
"-- IN BRIEF:
If you still don’t understand
Imagine being entrusted with a web project all made HTML CSS JS already configure etc...
And you must use VUE to make changes
knowing that on the move you don’t always have the connection
How do you do that?
Assuming (I can't tell 100% from your description) that it is an un-compiled implementation that uses the CDN, you can easily handle this by copying the vue library locally and update the html to use the local version instead of the CDN.
if you need to keep the html, you could use a browser plugin like requestly but there are many others. There you can select the url that goes to the cdn and replace it with the local one.
Another option for chromium-based browsers is to use local overrides. Picture upload is not working currently, so can't include a picture, but the option is available through the sources tab in the developer tools. You need to enable overrides, select a folder, then you can select the resource that you want to serve from local override.
Im trying to upload static files(images and js) from "static" folder. And it works fine for index file and base route localhost:8000/, but if I go to the next route localhost:8000/reviews/master001 then static files disappears and I receive by route localhost:8000/reviews/js. And there is two things, first is how to remove prefix "reviews"?
I tried to use in nuxt.config.js
static: {
prefix: false
}
by documentation, but it does not work. Tried to use paths in nuxt.config like "../js", "#/static/js", "/js" - this one works for index file.
Also there are no any static files after I go through the router-link such it in nuxt documentation for path localhost:8000/reviews/master001.
Here there are.
And here there no any files.
As explained in the comments above, images should be in assets and static is only aimed for specific use cases, like exposing a publicly accessible .pdf file.
If you want to install and use jQuery properly into your Nuxt project, you can follow my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/68414170/8816585
If you want to load a specific script and cannot do it in a more cleaner way (with NPM), you can also follow the instructions there: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67535277/8816585
Use this as a last resort tho and be aware that it will increase bundle size and loading time.
The Nuxt documentation (latest) states that for SPA you need to set ssr: false in nuxt.config.js. Also, every vue file in the pages folder is added to the router configuration, so you don't have to do this yourself. This is both correct and works perfectly, but there is something I really don't understand.
When I run npm run build (nuxt-ts build), it builds the production output of the project and puts in the dist folder (default). I was surprised to see that even though I configured it to be a SPA, it still generates HTML files for each vue file in the pages folder.
It happens with newly generated projects using npx nuxt-create-app as well.
What I'd expect is that it only generates one HTML file (which is index) when ssr is set to false and when I want a static app, I would use npm run generate or set target to 'static' to create HTML files per route.
Nuxt documentation also states this for the target property:
https://nuxtjs.org/docs/2.x/get-started/commands#target-server-default-value (builds output to dist)
https://nuxtjs.org/docs/2.x/get-started/commands#target-static (generates HTML per route)
All I have in my config is ssr set to false, so it should not generate static files (HTML) per page.
What am I missing here, or am I misunderstanding how this works?
Thanks in advance!
Remember that in a static setup, your visitors may arrive at your site via any of your page routes— not just index.html.
For example, they may access https://www.your-app.com/contact-us. If you do not have a contact-us.html file available, and you don’t have a server configured to handle this request (as is the case with universal mode), you’re gonna end up with a 404.
What happens in static mode is contact-us.html is served, which contains the minimum javascript necessary to hydrate your nuxt app, then SPA mode kicks in— giving you client-side navigation.
I am a bit new to Vue.js. I am doing a social media application that allows users to upload and share images with others. I store my images in src/assets folder during development. However, when I build the project, all images are put in the dist folder. Therefore, what can I do to enable users to still upload images on production? Do I create the assets directory in the dist folder?
I have since tried different ways, including storing images on the backend. In dooing this, I reference the backend path relatively, using, for example, ../../../backend/public/assets..., and it works on development. However, when I build, the images that existed in the backend directory at the time of building are visible, however, whenever I try uploading more on production to the ../../../backend/public/assets... directory, they are uploaded successfully but are not visible (that is on production). I get an error that Cannot find module './image_name.image_extension'.
What am I doing wrong?
I have seen similar questions like this but there was no answer.
You must set your public path and change your way!!
first step to do is creating vue.config.js in your root directory, if you want to know more details, read this: https://cli.vuejs.org/config/
for example, I define prefix path for my files:
module.exports = {
publicPath:
process.env.NODE_ENV === "production" ? "/" : "/",
};
remember, It's better if you use "#" to define your paths.
for example, if you want to load a image which located in src/assets/files/img/myImage.png, you can use #/assets/files/img/myImage.png in template section for binding or script section of your .vue files!
It always help you to find correct path of your files.
and finally your way is not standard because "src/assets/..." will used for compiled scripts and styles and also your files which you want to use on your UI layout like static images. so you have to use "public/assets/..." directory to save your file, then you will see everything is going well for you.
if you have a more question or stuck solving this problem again, I'm here to fix your issues.
I have a project started with the vue-cli, and i'd love to include a component from a different local folder. I'm not that great at webpack config, so I'm not sure if it's just as simple as adding another path to some config setting. I've looked around in the docs, but everything I'm finding shows me the awesome auto scaffolding that vue init project gives us.
Any ideas?
Here's what the project structure looks like:
webroot/
-wp-content/
-wp-admin/
-wp-includes/
-other PHP classes/
-static/
-vue/
-global-components/ (<- this is where i'd like to put some generic .vue components)
-app1/ (<- this was created by vue-cli and is where i'd like to build a specific vue app for a specific wordpress page/post)
-app2/ (<- this was created by vue-cli and is where i'd like to build a different app for a specific wordpress page/post)
So, you can see there's a bunch of things going on in this repo, and I'd like to be able to reference both the src folder inside app1 and app2, but also have each app reference the global-components folder. I'm not sure that the client would like to push their custom components up to npm, and I don't think they want to build out their own private npm source, so I was hoping for a way to build multiple vue.js applications without copying these components to each individual app.
Any thoughts?
