I have installed waypoints with using bower. I can see that there is a folder for shortcuts inside of its /lib folder, containing the shortcuts for infinite.js inview.js and sticky.js. My question is how I can actually access them in my project using bower.
I am using gulp to package all of my JavaScript for this project, so I am using "main-bower-files" to compile all of the library javascript files into a single file.
I have modified the bower.json so that waypoints will use the jquery version by doing the following
"dependencies": {
"jquery": "^3.3.1",
"waypoints": "^4.0.1"
},
"overrides" : {
"waypoints" : {
"main": "lib/jquery.waypoints.js"
}
}
But I do not know how I can include the /shortcuts/inview.js using this method. Is it possible to use npm or bower to get access to these files?
Should be able to just add it to "main" I would think:
"dependencies": {
"jquery": "^3.3.1",
"waypoints": "^4.0.1"
},
"overrides" : {
"waypoints" : {
"main": [
"lib/jquery.waypoints.js",
"lib/shortcuts/sticky.js"
]
}
}
I am new to Aurelia and falling at the first hurdle.
I have created a new project using the aurelia cli and have selected to use less.
This works fine until I try to use bootstrap. I have installed bootstrap with npm which appears in node_modules/bootstrap/
This has the directory structure
dist fonts grunt Gruntfile.js js less LICENSE package.json README.md
There are css files in the dist directory.
In my template I do
The error I get is
Unhandled rejection Error: Failed loading required CSS file: bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css
How do I tell Aurelia where the bootstrap css files are and how to use them ?
Thanks
I found out one simple thing. Every time you modify aurelia.json file, you need to terminate au run --watch task, a start it again, and it will just work.
I did not find this in documentation.
Hope this helps.
There is solution for bootstrap downloaded from npm:
app.html:
<require from="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css"></require>
package.json you have to add:
"overrides": {
"npm:jquery#^3.0.0": {
"format": "amd"
}
}
aurelia.json (aurelia_project folder) you have to add at the end of "app-bundle.js" bundle:
"dependencies": [
"jquery",
{
"name": "bootstrap",
"path": "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist",
"main": "js/bootstrap.min",
"deps": ["jquery"],
"exports": "$",
"resources": [
"css/bootstrap.css"
]
}
]
It should look like this:
"bundles": [
{
"name": "app-bundle.js",
"source": [
"[**/*.js]",
"**/*.{css,html}"
],
"dependencies": [
"jquery",
{
"name": "bootstrap",
"path": "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist",
"main": "js/bootstrap.min",
"deps": ["jquery"],
"exports": "$",
"resources": [
"css/bootstrap.css"
]
}
]
},
It works for me.
We are still working on the CLI's ability to import libraries into a project and configure them correctly for bundling. Remember, it is an alpha. We will have major improvements coming for this in the future. In the mean time, remember that you can always use traditional techniques for including libraries if you aren't sure what to do. So, I would just include the style tag in your html page and a script tag as well, just pointing at the location for the files in your packages folder.
This is a major use case for us, we just haven't worked out all the library import capabilities yet. We will address this soon.
Using Aurelia CLI
First, install the following in your project:
au install jquery#2
au install bootstrap
Second, in aurelia.json add this line in bundles:vendor-bundle.js
"jquery",
{
"name": "bootstrap",
"path": "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist",
"main": "js/bootstrap.min",
"deps": [
"jquery"
],
"resources": [
"css/bootstrap.css"
],
"exports": "$"
}
Then Add the following fonts after dependecies
"copyFiles": {
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff2": "bootstrap/fonts",
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff": "bootstrap/fonts",
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf": "bootstrap/fonts"
}
Third, After setting import/install. Now you can reference it inside your app.html
<require from="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css"></require>
Or simply add it as a globalResources inside main.ts
aurelia.use
.standardConfiguration()
.feature('resources')
.globalResources('bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css');
For more information on au install/import check it here or adding library in bundles.
I found that I had to change the boostrap css path in app.html to the one expected for Bootstrap 4, per a comment on Aurelia Discourse:
from this:
<require from="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css"></require>
to this:
<require from="bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css"></require>
If you are here in July 2019, the answer by #davidjmcclelland is what worked for me. After installing bootstrap, simple include require from=bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css> in your app.html. No configurations required.
I'm trying to load jquery + jquery-ui + bootstrap inside my project throught NPM and gulp.
My configuration is this:
Package.json
"browser": {
"jquery": "/node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js",
"jquery-ui": "/node_modules/jquery-ui-browserify/jquery-ui.js"
},
"browserify-shim": {
"jquery": "$",
"jquery-ui": {
"exports": "jquery-ui",
"depends": [ "jquery:jQuery" ]
}
},
"browserify": {
"transform": [ "browserify-shim" ]
},
"dependencies": {
"bootstrap": "^3.3.6",
"jquery": "2.1.0",
"jquery-ui-browserify": "^1.11.0-pre-seelio",
}
gulpfile.js
gulp.task('browserify', function(){
return browserify([
'node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js',
'node_modules/jquery-ui-browserify/dist/jquery-ui.js',
'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js',
])
.bundle()
.pipe(source('core.js'))
.pipe(buffer())
.pipe(gulp.dest('build/js'));
});
Then I load core.js with assetic from my index.php but I get this error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
I don't know what you're trying to do there but keep in mind that what you should pass to the browserify instance is the entry point of your application, not your dependencies.
Then in your application you can use the require function to load those dependencies:
var $ = require('jquery');
While compiling browserify will autonomously do two things for you:
He will put into your bundle any library you required.
He will resolve your require statements by replacing them with a reference to the bundled copy of that library.
As long as the library is installed through npm you don't need any additional configuration. On the other hand if the library is situated in an unconventional location you'll need to tell browserify how to resolve it.
Anyway you can find more documentation on the repo's readme
The FileAPI library (https://github.com/mailru/FileAPI/issues/202) does not officially support CommonJS modules. I've tried using browserify-shim but I'm not able to make it work. After requireing fileapi I just get an empty object back. I've created a repo for reproduction here https://github.com/Prinzhorn/browserify-fileapi
Relevant package.json part
{
"dependencies": {
"fileapi": "2.0.15"
},
"devDependencies": {
"browserify": "11.1.0",
"browserify-shim": "3.8.10"
},
"browser": {
"fileapi": "./node_modules/fileapi/dist/FileAPI.html5.js"
},
"browserify-shim": {
"fileapi": "FileAPI"
}
}
If you want to try it locally:
git clone git#github.com:Prinzhorn/browserify-fileapi.git
npm install
npm run build
chromium-browser index.html
Check out the console in Chromium, you'll see an empty array from running console.log(Object.keys(require('fileapi'))). Note that there is a global window.FileAPI with the correct API.
Does anyone know if browserify-shim is able to shim FileAPI? Because I believe it does some exotic things to manage it's dependencies (the concatenated files expect certain globals).
You'll need to tell browserify to use browserify-shim as a transform in the package.json as outlined in this example
Mainly you're missing:
"browserify": {
"transform": [ "browserify-shim" ]
}
I am trying to integrate xdomain.js with browserify :
require('xdomain/dist/0.6/xdomain');
but i get:
Uncaught ReferenceError: xhook is not defined
(anonymous function) xdomain.js:882
(anonymous function) xdomain.js:1067
the only solution is to concat script files or include script in html (which is not acceptable cause component needs to be independent of external dependencies)
is there a way to integrate xdomain.js using standard browserify mechanisms?
It sounds like you might need a browserify-shim configuration so that you can pull in the xhook dependency. e.g. in your package.json:
//...
"browser": {
"xdomain": "xdomain/dist/0.6/xdomain.js",
"xhook": "xdomain/vendor/xhook.js"
},
"browserify-shim": {
"xhook": {
"exports": "xhook"
},
"xdomain": {
"exports": "xdomain",
"depends": ["xhook"]
}
},
"browserify": {
"transform": [ "browserify-shim" ]
},
//...
And of course you'll have to install the browserify-shim package with npm.
