    @DownPW said in [nodebb-plugin-osm-map] OpenStreetMap based map to locate users:

    it would have been interesting to rely on the IP address

    With the widespread and increasing use of VPN's, I think probably best served using Profile info. Those who do not care to reveal such info as part of their Profiles' privacy would also be better respected.

    I wanted to debug some code I had written in my plugin and did a quick search to see if I could create a Node.js REPL that would function in the context of my plugin. It turned out to be quite simple to do.

    Just add this to your plugin's static:app.load method:

    setTimeout(function() { console.log("About to start REPL"); var repl = require("repl"); var util = require('util'); var replServer = repl.start({ prompt: "swf-cms> ", breakEvalOnSigint: true, ignoreUndefined: true, useGlobal: true, useColors: true }); var context = replServer.context; context.require = require; context.module = module; context.context = util.inspect(replServer.context, {depth: 0}); }, 3000);

    You'll want to wrap this in something to prevent it from running outside of dev mode. Also, load up the context object with anything that you want to be conveniently available in the REPL. FYI, I used the setTimeout to give Nodebb a chance to finish loading before it gives you the prompt.

    Have fun.

    You define routes in your load hook. So your library.js might look like this:

    var Plugin = module.exports = {}; Plugin.load = function (params, callback) { var router = params.router; var middleware = params.middleware; // Define the function that renders the custom route. function render(req, res, next) { // Get whatever data you want to send to the template here. var data = {whatever: 33}; // This is the path to your template without the .tpl, relative to the templates directory in plugin.json var template = 'templatename' // Send the page to the user. res.render(template, data); } // This actually creates the routes, you need two routes for every page. // The first parameter is the actual path to your page. router.get('/yourpage', middleware.buildHeader, render); router.get('/api/yourpage', render); callback(); };

    And your plugin.json would look something like this:

    { "library": "library.js", "hooks": [ { "hook": "static:app.load", "method": "load" } ], "templates": "./public/templates", "staticDirs": { "public": "public" } }

    and you would have a template here:
    /nodebb-plugin-yourplugin/public/templates/templatename.tpl

    <h2>My Awesome Custom Page</h2> The Magic Number is: {whatever}

    I'm pretty sure I posted about this before, with more details even. Have to start using those canned responses. 🌹

    We don't use any libraries that emulate classical inheritance. For namespacing we utilize:

    For front end, we use require.js The node.js backend uses (CommonJS module).

    If you're writing a plugin, feel free to use whatever method you are comfortable with 🙂
