How do I pack javascript for the acp/ a widget into a single js file?

Solved Plugin Development
  • I'm working on fixing the twitch monitor plugin, and so far I got the admin control panel working. My problem is that all the code for the acp is on the folder public/js/acp.js, so I edited that one. But I realized that the code is also on the client/acp folder, and I guess there must be some sort of build process to pack all that folder into a single javascript file. The same thing happens with the widget folder in cient/widget.

    I checked to docs and I didn't find anything like that on the plugin documentation, does anyone know what the author could have used to produce those .js files?

  • @v_risalab i figured it out. The acp code uses browserify and the widget code uses webpack!

    Hi,

    How to require local utilities in my acpScript properly? I want to separate functions in my acpScript of my plugin into several JS files. My acpScipt is located at path public/lib/admin/index.js with codes:

    'use strict'; /* globals socket, define, require */ define( 'admin/plugins/myPlugin', [ 'myAdminUtilities' ], function (util) { const Admin = {}; Admin.init = function () { socket.emit( 'plugins.myPlugin.getData', myAdminUtilities.handleResponse, ); }; return Admin; } );

    Then, file myAdminUtilities is located at path public/lib/admin/utils.js with codes:

    define('admin/plugins/myAdminUtilities', function () { const adminUtils = {}; adminUtils.handleResponse = function (error, data) { // process data ... }; return adminUtils; });

    Also, I have modified my plugin.json with following:

    { ... "modules": { "myAdminUtilities": "public/lib/admin/utils.js" }, ... }

    But, I get get admin/plugins/myAdminUtilities (404 Not found) every time I enter my plugin ACP page. What's the proper way to reach my goal?

    Suppose there are two files.

    library.js in the /nodebb-plugin-namePlugin
    file.js in /nodebb-plugin-namePlugin/static/lib

    Now I must do a lot of operation in my library.js and I must check when user is created. So I use the hook and It's everything ok, but, after I must my check in library I need to send a message to my file.js to change background color of a component. The proble is that I used this to communicate:

    websockets = module.parent.require('./socket.io'), //library.js websockets.in('uid_' + data.uid).emit('hash', { 'username': data.data.username }); //file.js socket.on('hash',function(){ console.log("DOG); });

    The problem is that I don't have data.uid value because I'm checking before that an user can registrate himself. Anyone can help me to use websocket without uid or can suggest me other methods?

    It would be awesome if you could choose what category works that way and what category works on the standard forum way 🙂
