I have 3 files, style.css, logic.js and container.html, while developing I need this files to exist separate, but when I am done, I'm searching for a tool that merges referenced css and js files into the HTML file:
<script src="./script/main.js"></script>
will turn into:
<script> ...code... </script>
and the same with CSS.
Is this possible? I first though this would be able with webpack, but the idea from webpack is not directly copying the content from the referenced files into the HTML file. Don't know if relevant, but I save my project on git and would like to run this build on bamboo, result of building my whole project should be one html file where all the code is inside, not being referenced, I could not find something that would do that?
Well a quick Google search gives me:
html-inline
web-combiner

I am recreating a javascript game which requires tables, but when I link my javascript file to my index.html the grid does not show on my browser, but when I directly add my javascript inside the script tag in my html, the grid shows on the browser.
Any help would be appreciated thank you!
This is my code by referencing a js file inside html(the tables do not show)
html with js link
This is my code without referencing a js file(tables do show)
html without js link
This is my main.js
main js
This is the browser without linking js file
browser without js file
This is my browser with linking js file
browser with js reference
First I linked the js file with script src=js path but it did not work but it worked when I put the javascript directly inside the html script tag. I was wondering how I can make it work with referencing a separate js file for a cleaner html code.
It's due to that your local paths are not resolving correctly. Without seeing directory structure I can't know what could be wrong.
First of all, please re-check and verify that both files main.js and index.html are in the same directory.
Alternatively, you could create folder called js inside of your main directory (where index.html is) and then move the main.js into that folder and try:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/main.js"></script>
index.html and main.js files must be at the same directory in order to include .js file as you did
<script type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script>
UPDATE (I will leave answer whole, if somebody also gets stuck, so they can troubleshoot the problem):
The reason why it couldn't resolve path is because there was blank spaces between src and = ; when giving src, that part needs to be connected.
Just like this
<script type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script>
Take a look here:
What happens:
I tried putting the JS file in public_html, where I also put my CSS, but than it only shows the JS code.
I also cannot find any tutorial as to where do put any files and wanted to ask before I do something that will harm my site.
Should I make a new file and change the url in my HTML to the new folder?

It is good practice to put css and js in respective folders, the
index.html will be directly in the public_html folder. But I did not
get this statement of yours - "I tried putting it in public_html,
where I also put my CSS, but than it only shows the JS code."
So I will put every css and js file in separate folders inside public_html, only index.html goes straight inside public_html
I have recently got a chance to explore one famous JavaScript library; In that library, I have found one strange way of referring JavaScript library from HTML page.
The application folder structure looks like this,
index.html contains the reference of subroot.js;
index.html
<head>
<title>Index</title>
<script src="js/subroot.js"></script>
</head>
subroot.js only contains the following code (i.e.,the relative path of root.js)
subroot.js
../../js/root.js
When I try to run the index.html, i get syntax error in the first line of subroot.js
Questions:
Is it right way to refer another javascript library by its relative path?
If yes, Why I get error message on the web page?
JavaScript by itself doesn't support loading files or referring paths. You need a module loader of some kind to achieve what you want. With the new version of the standard (ECMAScript 6) there is something called "imports" which you might find useful. I have experience using JSPM and the SystemJS module loader, which makes it pretty easy to connect the dots.
However, without using any additional tools you should just inject another script tag in your HTML.
Just reference root.js in the HTMl file not in the Subroot.js file, you can't reference another .js file from a .js file as far as I know.
<script src="../js/root.js"></script>
See Link
write this in subroot.js file
var x = document.createElement('script');
x.src = '../../js/root.js';
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(x);
For one of my clients I need to update the website. Therefore I would like to add a JS file.
So I have never worked with ExpressionEngine before, so I downloaded the Core Version.
On my laptop I would now like to add to the theme "agile_records" (seems to be the standard theme) a js file. I saw there is a folder: /themes/site_themes/agile_records/js
there I have copied the js file.
Next I have put a new line in the following file:
themes/site_themes/agile_records/global_variables/js
but unfortunately when I look into the source code of safari, my js file has not been included, not even the new line I have added to the file above.
Can anyone help me out, how I can add this JS to the template?
cheers
You should be able to just add it with a script tag. Try something like <script src="/js/filename"></script>.
This obviously assumes that agile_records is the root of the project.
I'd like to split my views in Grails into 2 files a .gsp file and a .js file so that I get a cleaner Javascript separation from my views. So here's an example:
views/index.gsp
views/index.js
views/home/index.jsp
views/home/index.js
But when I simply add the index.js script reference like this:
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
all I get is a 404.
Does anyone knows how to deal with this?
A great benefit would be to have the ability to use view data inside the index.js file to produce the desired content.

Actually, it should be perfectly possible to serve a JS file (or any other file type) as a GSP from your grails-app/views/ directory. The only thing you have to do, is define a suitable URL mapping for those GSPs, e.g.:
"/javascript/home/index"(view:'/home/index.js')
With this URL mapping, you can put your JS code into grails-app/views/home/index.js.gsp (note the trailing .gsp) and you can use any grails tags in your JS source. To ensure that your JS is delivered with the correct content type, you may want to place
<%# page contentType="text/javascript"%>
at the beginning of your GSP.
Unfortunately, the createLink tag doesn't support link rewriting to views, but it should be easy to write your own tag to create those links.
Anyways, keep in mind that this won't have a very positive impact on your app's performance. It's usually better to have static JS files (and also serve them as static resources) while passing dynamic stuff as parameters to JS functions for example. This will also keep you from some headaches wrt. caching etc.
The idea is good, but Grails has this directory structure for a reason. The view folder is intended for a certain artifact type (views)..
You could clone your view folder structure under web-inf, but that gives you more work as I guess the idea behind this is to keep related files close together for convenience reasons.
Even though I'm not to excited about storing Javascript together with the view I loved Robert's idea of hooking into the build process by using build events to copy javascript sources into the right directory! If you decide to go down that road you might as well compress the sources while you're at it. ShrinkSafe is popular library.
I don't think you are allowed to access js inside views/
if you need to do that ... here is the trick
create your js and rename it with myjs.gsp (use "")
iniside _myjs.gsp type you js
... write down you js in here ...
inside you gsp (for example: index.gsp, view.gsp, etc)
type this tag to upload you js
Update 2:
Grails offer the possibility of hooking into the build lifecycle using custom events.
An event handler can be written which synchronises all JavaScript files under grails-app/views with the target folder of web-app/js.
Place the custom code in $PROJECT/scripts/Events.groovy. The PackagingEnd is a good target for the invocation, since it happens right after web.xml is generated.
eventPackagingEnd = { ->
// for each js file under grails-app/views move to web-app/js
}
Update
If you'd like the JavaScript files simply 'meshed' together, you can do that using symlinks, e.g.:
grails-app/views/view1/index.js -> webapp/js/view1/index.js
As far as I know, there is no way of forcing grails to directly serve content which is outside of web-app.
Alternatively, you can inline your JavaScript, but that can have performance implications.
JavaScript files belong under web-app/js.
Then you can reference them using <g:javascript src="index.js" />.
