I need to develop a plugin for Moodle, and i need to have some js and css files in plugin. But i have the next problem - how to work with them from installed plugin? Of course, i can hardcode their path via to moodle structure, but it's a very dirty and bad way. Also, i know that i can place all js and css code inline, but i think that it's a bad decision too. Is there a built-in way to serve assets from plugin? I tried to find it in documentations, but found nothing.
Thanks
I assume you want to know how to include CSS and JS files into your plugin.
You can include a JS file via the command:
$PAGE->requires->js( /relative/path/your_script.js');
You can then call a JS function once the page has been downloaded with the command:
$PAGE->requires->js_init_call ( your_JS_function_name, array_of_parameters_here, bool: on DOM ready);
For example:
$PAGE->requires->js_init_call('init', array($USER->lang), true);
Be sure to make the $PAGE available with global $PAGE;, first.
Your CSS file can be named styles.css and put into the root folder of your plugin. The file will be automatically read by the system and included. It will take precedence over (will overwrite the settings of) the system CSS files. After that you will have to reload the theme caches.

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.
Background:
Using VueJS, specifically in regards to PWA template https://github.com/vuejs-templates/pwa
There is a build step npm run build which bundles the project and transpiles any Vue into a distribution browser JS.
The files in /static/ are "static" and just copied into dist, but I am wondering if it's possible to template it at all, or read in some dynamic values.
Question:
Is it possible to have static files that servce under /static in the url, but also during build can accept dynamic values?
More context:
The problem is Vue compiles everything into the dist directory.
All non-static assets are cached and get a unique url each build, whereas static files (I know this is configurable, but you arguably want your non-static assets to have caching) have absolute paths.
Server Routing to map a file in /static/ to a cached dynamic file is outside of Vue. The question pertains to needing to host some "absolute pathed files" (static), but some files might have internally 1-2 urls that need to change in the files depending on what config is used, dev, prod, staging.. just as an example of the use case.
The solution I found was to use CopyWebpackPlugin which comes natively inside build/webpack.prod.conf.js
This is the plugin that copies files from static into dist/static.
You can use the process.env.NODE_ENV to allow you to copy specific files from static into dist.
I decided just to keep environment specific copies of the files with values changed, but you could easily add code to that file to parse and copy over whatever specific files you want.
I think most people put dynamic configuration values in a file under public/ then use javascript fetch to load those values in Vue components. Webpack will copy the files in public/ to the web root (dist/) and it will avoid compiling those config values into the minified javascript. If you put files in static/ and use import or require to load them into Vue components then webpack will resolve those during build time and compiling them into the minified Javascript - which is probably not what you want.
I'm having a hard time trying to set up dojo build in my project.
Basically, I have my js folder with all my custom widgets and components. I simply want to combine all javascript files form js folder into one single file.
dojo sources are located outside this folder. The structure looks similar to this:
/public
/prod
/dojo-1.9
/dijit
/dojo
/dojox
/js
myScript1.js
myScript2.js
Do you have any idea on how should I configure the package.json and profile.js? The documentation doesn't seem to help since all I am getting is an output folder with the same contents as the js folder (no javascript is merged).
You can start by reading this article:
https://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.10/build/simpleExample.html
It provides a simplified overview of dojo build system.
Additional there is dojo boilerplate with a sample of folder structure and profile.js configuration for quick start here:
https://github.com/csnover/dojo-boilerplate
I definitely suggest you to use the boilerplate as start for your project as it simplify a lot initial configurations.
I came to notice that there is one folder called assets in the root folder.To know more about it,I went through this link.Now I want to know adding some css in these files is good or shall I add css to to the main.css file inside css folder.
The asset folder is automatically generated by Yii based upon your environment so best avoid putting your CSS, images etc inside here. It also best to not commit these folders and files into SVN as they are automatically generated and folder names will differ from your qa/staging/live site to your local site.
There are some good reasons to use Yii's assets.
it prevents naming conflicts in css and js files
it allows you to keep CSS and JS files under your document-root but outside of your web-root (for easier version control)
it allows to easily switch between sets of CSS & JS files, rather than having to deal with each file individually (suppose the system admin needs to revert back to a previous version).
it allows you to publish assets (images, JS & CS) to several websites hosted on the same server.
Please check here or there for more details.
Well, when i started my first Yii project, i also put my CSS and JS files in assets. It works but then i found that its not just the right way. Its better to make a separate directory for your CSS file(s). Also there are some auto generated files in assets, so to avoid mix-up with those and your i prefer to make it separate. Hope you got the point.
