Is there currently a way to do relative output paths? Within gulp-useref or otherwise?
My current situation:
project_folder/
app/
index.html
about/
index.html
scripts/
index.js
about.js
In the index.html based out of app/, everything works fine:
<!-- build:js scripts/main.min.js -->
<script src="/scripts/main.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
The index.html file sits next to the scripts folder so the relative path syncs up properly.
But here's the about/index.html:
If I pass in the path like this – ../scripts/about.min.js – the generated about.min.js gets output one folder too far back, resulting in this situation:
project_folder/
scripts/
about.min.js
dist/
index.html
about/
index.html
scripts/
index.min.js
With the about/index.html looking for it in <script src="../scripts/about.min.js"></script>.
If I don't pass in the relative path in about/index.html:
about.min.js ends up in the proper location, but then the path is incorrect in about/index.html – set to <script src="scripts/about.min.js"></script>.
Suggestions? I could have a different version of the useref task running at different folder levels. I've also considered figuring out some way to alter the path after everything runs through based on how far away it is from the base folder, but I'm not quite sure where to start if that's a viable choice. I just don't know if I'm missing something more obvious.
Because this is meant to be a feature in a tool I'm putting together, doing it manually each time isn't really viable.
Here's the snippet from my gulpfile.js that's relevant to this. I have a nunjucks template that runs before this happens, so that's why it works from .tmp:
gulp.task('html', ['templates'], function() {
var assets = $.useref.assets({searchPath: ['.tmp', 'app', '.']});
return gulp.src('.tmp/**/*.html')
.pipe(assets)
.pipe($.if('*.js', $.uglify()))
.pipe($.if('*.css', $.csso()))
.pipe($.rev())
.pipe(assets.restore())
.pipe($.useref())
.pipe($.revReplace())
.pipe($.gzip({append: false}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
.pipe($.size({title: 'html'}));
});
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks for tool!
I had a similar issue. I would try adjusting your search path. Mine originally looked like this:
var assets = $.useref.assets({searchPath: './'});
changing it to this fixed it:
var assets = $.useref.assets({searchPath: ''});
Why not use absolute paths?
<!-- build:js /scripts/main.min.js -->
<!-- build:js /scripts/about.min.js -->
You would then need to move your index files to the correct locations using other gulp tasks that could depend on the above task.
gulp.task('full-build', ['partial-build'], function () {
gulp.src('index.html', { base: './' })
.pipe(gulp.dest(buildLocation));
});
I also faced similar kind of issue and find a solution. It may help others
My dir structure was like
Project_root
app
scripts
index.html
bower_component
And in the index.html file it was referencing like the following which was auto generated by inject
<!-- build:js js/lib.js -->
<!-- bower:js -->
<script src="../bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="../bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<!-- endbower -->
<!-- endbuild -->
<!-- build:js js/app.js-->
<!-- inject:js -->
<script src="/app/scripts/app.js"></script>
<script src="/app/scripts/controllers/authentication.js"></script>
<!-- endinject -->
<!-- endbuild -->
In the gulpfile I was setting up the searchPath and got some strange behavior in the output file
$.useref.assets({searchPath: ''}); >> it generated only lib.js file
$.useref.assets({searchPath: ['']}); >> it generated only app.js file
Finally both app.js and lib.js file generated with the following code
$.useref.assets({searchPath: ['./bower_components','']});

I'm new to Laravel and whole framework stuff.
I do (may) understand a part of how the page rendered via laravel, but even after extensive search, I do not understand how laravel mix works.
Suppose that there is a page requires a global js and css library (lets specify jQuery and bootstrap)
Also the page requires custom js file like someJsTools.js.
Elementary speaking, in the past, those files referenced via <script src="blah"></script> and <link rel="blah" /> inside head tag and I used to it. In this env, all I have to do is specify those tags page by page.
// pageA requires jQuery.js, bootstrap.css and one CUSTOM JS file imatrouble.js
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" herf="bootstrap.css"/>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="imatrouble.js"></script>
</head>
//pageB requires jQuery.js, bootstrap.css and two custom js files.
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" herf="bootstrap.css"/>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="imatrouble.js"></script>
<script src="withimatroubleimadisasterlikewhateveryoucanimagine.js"></script>
</head>
PageA and PageB both requires common jQuery.js and bootstrap.css file. From what I learn, laravel Mix combine all js files into one and I don't get it here.
Problem 1 - One file do everything?
If it is true that "mix" things all together as one file, then how this one file could handle all of this different requirements seperatelly? I believe that my knowledge is wrong and its from my incorrect understanding of laravel mix and perhaps webpack mechanism.
Problem 2 - How can I manage all different page and every different situation?
Whether the problem above is originated from my missunderstanding or not, I cannot figure out what part of I (will) do could cause differences between pages. If mix only works for common global library, then all I have to do is just load custom js/css files manually. I currently assume that it is highly unlikely.
Please, someone help me to escape this chaos.
Have a good day.
It is purely based on your requirements. It depends on how you are customising your assets file.
For example :
Jquery, Angular,Bootstrap,Font Awesome is common for all your pages. So what I usually do is. I combine all css files to one file and all js files to one. Like below..
CSS mix
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.styles([
"libraries/bootstrap.css",
"libraries/font-awesome.min.css",
"custom/default.css",
], 'public/assets/css/common.css');
});
JS mix
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.scripts([
"libraries/jquery-1.10.2.js",
"libraries/bootstap.js"
"libraries/angular.js",
"libraries/angular-animate.js",
"custom/defaut.js"
], 'public/assets/js/common.js');
});
Suppose some pages need specific dependency[product, orders...etc]. For instance if product page needs wow.js, product.js and wow.css,product.css
CSS mix
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.styles([
"libraries/wow.css",
"custom/product.css",
], 'public/assets/css/product.css');
});
JS mix
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.scripts([
"libraries/wow.js",
"custom/product.js"
], 'public/assets/js/product.js');
});
So final laravel mix file looks like below
gulpfile.js
var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');
elixir.config.sourcemaps = true;
/**
* Global CSS MIX
*/
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.styles([
"libraries/bootstrap.css",
"libraries/font-awesome.min.css",
"custom/default.css",
], 'public/assets/css/common.css');
});
/**
* Global JS MIX
*/
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.scripts([
"libraries/jquery-1.10.2.js",
"libraries/bootstap.js"
"libraries/angular.js",
"libraries/angular-animate.js",
"custom/defaut.js"
], 'public/assets/js/common.js');
});
/**
* Product CSS MIX
*/
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.styles([
"libraries/wow.css",
"custom/product.css",
], 'public/assets/css/product.css');
});
/**
* Product JS MIX
*/
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.scripts([
"libraries/wow.js",
"custom/product.js"
], 'public/assets/js/product.js');
});
Now all your assets files are ready. Now you need to include wherever you want.
Suppose on your homepage you only requires common.js and common.css files.
homepage.blade.php
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('assets/css/common.css') }}"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset('assets/css/common.js') }}"></script>
</head>
On the product page, you require both common and product assets file dependency. Include like below
product.blade.php
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('assets/css/common.css') }}"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('assets/css/product.css') }}"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset('assets/js/common.js') }}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset('assets/js/product.js') }}"></script>
</head>
As a result of this operation I need to obtain two files: vendors.js and bundle.js. They should also be uglified, but variable names must be consistent between them, but so far it either uglification or two files.
<!-- build:js1 vendor.js -->
<script src="bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-ui-router/release/angular-ui-router.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-aria/angular-aria.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-animate/angular-animate.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-material/angular-material.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
<!-- build:js2 bundle.js -->
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="components/stores.js"></script>
<script src="components/userInfo/UserInfo.js"></script>
<script src="components/userMenu/UserMenu.js"></script>
<script src="components/components.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
Please use the already minified versions provided by AngularJS itself. You should not uglify third party dependencies when these are already provided.
Hence you should concat angular and all other angular components into one vendor file and uglify and concat your own javascript.
When you take a look at path bower_components/angular/, there should also be a angular.min.js file (as well as the other angular components).
Take a look at my default setup for GulpJS and AngularJS at https://github.com/elgervb/skeletonSPA. I use a simular approach.
Try this:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var concatJS = require('gulp-concat');
gulp.task('concat-js', function () {
gulp.src(['one.js', 'two.js'])
.pipe(concatJS('first.js'))
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./javascript'));
gulp.src(['three.js', 'four.js'])
.pipe(concatJS('second.js'))
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./javascript'));
});
I have these requirements:
Concatenate css files.
Rev the concatenated css file.
Rev resource files referenced by css files (images, fonts, etc...). File references are relative and come from third parties, so I have no control over them.
Rewrite file references in css files for revving, and to make them relative to the concatenated file, rather than the original file.
My project layout:
dist/
index.html
app-<hash>.css
bower_components/
bootstrap/
fonts/
glyphicons-halflings-regular-<hash>.woff
glyphicons-halflings-regular-<hash>.ttf
etc...
app/
index.html
appStyles.css
bower_components/
bootstrap/
dist/
css/
bootstrap.css
etc...
fonts/
glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff
glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf
etc...
So, as an example, bootstrap.css references glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf using the relative path: '../../fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf'. This needs to be rewritten to the relative path 'bower_components/bootstrap/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular-hash.ttf'.
I have been able to get a gulp-usemin task working that concatenates my css files and revs the output. It even works with source maps, which is a bonus (not required).
However, I can't get usemin to rewrite paths in css files to adjust for revving and to make them relative to the concatenated file. How do I do this? Do I need another plugin in the css chain? Here is what I have so far:
var resourcesRevved = [
'app/bower_components/bootstrap/**/*.ttf',
'app/bower_components/bootstrap/**/*.woff',
etc...
];
gulp.task('copy:resources:revved', ['clean:dist'], function() {
return gulp.src(resourcesRevved)
.pipe(rev())
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
gulp.task('usemin', ['copy:resources:revved'], function() {
return gulp.src('./app/index.html')
.pipe(usemin({
css: [
sourcemaps.init({
loadMaps: true
}),
'concat',
rev(),
sourcemaps.write('.')
]
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});
Here is the usemin section in index.html:
<!-- build.css app.css -->
<link href="bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="app/appStyles.css">
etc...
<!-- endbuild -->
I'm currently using the gulp-usemin pluign, however I'm struggling with one thing: using the images the package provides!
<!-- build:css lib/css/main.min.css -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bower_components/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css">
<!-- endbuild -->
The font-awesome bower package also comes with the fonts:
bower_components/font-awesome/fonts/**.*
I currently compile my css with the usemin plugin:
gulp.task('usemin', function() {
return gulp.src('src/index.html')
.pipe(usemin({
css: [minifyCss(), 'concat'],
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});
Right now this scans my HTML with the above build paths, and successfully minifies it.
However the problem I have, is that now my font-awesome CSS is looking for the fonts in the wrong place, as they're no longer in the same directory.
How do I fix this?
Figured this out by finding this question: Can you remove a folder structure when copying files in gulp?
My task is now uses gulp-rename:
gulp.task('copy-bower_fonts', function() {
return gulp.src(paths.bower_fonts)
.pipe(rename({
dirname: '/fonts'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/lib'));
});
The fonts from the packages which look for ../fonts/ now points to a correct location.
I want to use aloha editor on my website and i downloaded it from [http://aloha-editor.org/].Now i am totally confused because the downloaded bundle contain lots of files.
I pick up aloha.js and aloha.css and added the following script
$(document).ready(function () {
Aloha.ready(function () {
var $ = Aloha.jQuery;
$('.editable').aloha();
})
});
but its not working.Then i tried
<script src="http://cdn.aloha-editor.org/current/lib/aloha.js"
data-aloha-plugins="common/format,
common/list,
common/link,
common/highlighteditables">
</script>
<!-- load the Aloha Editor CSS styles -->
<link href="http://cdn.aloha-editor.org/current/css/aloha.css" type="text/css" />
<!-- make all elements with class="editable" editable with Aloha Editor -->
<script type="text/javascript">
Aloha.ready( function() {
var $ = Aloha.jQuery;
$('.editable').aloha();
});
</script>
It works fine. But i want to use my downloaded bundle, Can anyone tell me how can i manage all the files & folders (for ex- where i have to put image folder and other folder..) so it starts working?
Copy all the files in to the root directory which includes plugins,lib,img,css and refer above described guide.
See http://www.alohaeditor.org/guides/using_aloha.html.
Save the files in /javascripts in the root directory of your web server, such as where localhost is run.
