The following code works to load a local, static JSON file:
var stories = require('../stories/stories.json');
Now I want to load a file based on a variable, e.g. do something like this:
var storiesPath = '../stories/stories.json';
var stories = require(storiesPath);
But this triggers an error:
Error: Cannot find module '../stories/stories.json'
at require (packages/modules-runtime.js:123:19)
at meteorInstall.server.main.js (server/main.js:7:15)
Is there any way to get this working? I assume that I could load my file via the Meteor http package instead but I'd rather not add another package if I can avoid it.
Thanks for your hints
Like I said in the comment, you can easily use a variable in a require, e.g.,
> var x = 'fs';
> require(x).readFile
[Function]
So that's not the problem you are dealing with. Are you sure your first case indeed works? It would be surprising. I think you might be running into project file layout issues, due to the use of a relative path. I would stay away from that. And fortunately you can quite easily by using an asset! You can put your json file in private/ in your project folder and then use:
const stories = JSON.parse(Assets.getText('stories.json'));

In deno you can load related modules or other code by just referencing the relative path to those ES6 modules. Deno will handle loading them appropriately. What's the way to do this for non-es6 modules? For example: say I wanted to include some custom css with my deno project? Deno doesn't allow doing import mycss from "./relative.css";.
Deno file operations do work for local files, but they're evaluated relative to the cwd not the current file, and they don't work for arbitrary URLs. fetch, on the other hand, should be perfect, but currently doesn't support file schemes and the decision isn't being actively considered. Combining these yields the only solution I can come up with, but I really don't like it:
async function loadLocal(relative: string): Promise<string> {
const url = new URL(relative, import.meta.url);
if (url.protocol === 'file:') {
return await Deno.readTextFile(url.pathname);
} else {
const resp = await fetch(url.href);
return await resp.text();
}
}
This seems like it should mostly work, but it seems like a terrible way to hack in something that I expected would be supported by design in deno. It also must be redeclared in each file, or have the callers URL passed in, although there might be a way to avoid that. It doesn't work on windows without modifying the path delimiter.
Update
Deno.emit seems close to what I would want, however for some reason it has different behavior than standard importing:
If the rootSpecifier is a relative path, then the current working directory of the Deno process will be used to resolve the specifier. (Not relative to the current module!)
It also still requires that the paths be to valid modules, instead of arbitrary text.
As #Zwiers pointed out, deno 1.6 now supports fetch with the file protocol, so this is now irrelevant.
I just started experimenting with Nativescript and am using the Playground to test things and see how it works.
What I wanted to do: add the moment.js module for formatting date/time
What I tried:
1. added the moment package. This appears to have worked because Playground now shows the moment folder along with files (package.json, ender.js, moment.js, etc) and subfolders.
2. In my code I used this snippet to require "moment"
var Moment = require("moment");
This failed though because I get an error of
Error: Could not find module 'moment'. Computed path '/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/xxxx/Documents/Playground/LiveSync/app/tns_modules/moment'
Any suggestions on what I need to change to get it to find 'moment'? I checked in package.json and it has the name as "moment".
The default require statement will search for the module form the tns_modules directory that was packed with the app during build time. So with Playground you could use relative path.
For example, if you want to use it on app.js which is in the root level,
var Moment = require('./moment');
I am a meteor newbie. I am trying out by building a simple app and it does nothing but shows list of items. I first tried out with hard coded model values in my client javascript code and it worked just fine. I then created a folder called 'model' under root of the application and created the model there like the following
Favorites = new Meteor.collection("favorites")
with this change, meteor throws exception pointing to this line of the file on load. If I move this code to client the code works ofcourse that is wrong. The full code is # https://github.com/ksunair/13favs It is a very simple solution has few files and less than 20 or 30 lines altogether. My client code is,
Template.favorites_main.helper({
favorites:Favorites
});
I did the following in order to clear your app of errors:
Favorites = new Meteor.Collection("favorites"); (Collection starts with a capital C)
I moved model/mainmodel.js to lib/mainmodel.js so Favorites would be available as soon as the template rendered. I always put my models under lib (or in a subdirectory) so they will be loaded first. This contradicts what I see in other places including discover meteor, so I'm unclear what the best practice is. In any case, it fixed the problem.
$ meteor add accounts-ui was needed because you referenced Accounts.ui.config.
You need to actually do a find in your favorites_main template. So it should look something like:
Template.favorites_main.helpers({
favorites: Favorites.find();
});
I am a newbie in yaml but I have to work on as3yaml which I don't have any knowledge on it.
I already downloaded as3yaml and attached to my project which is Flex project and I already read about yaml syntax.
But I don't have any ideas how can I start to work on it. I don't know how to new .yaml file with eclipse. I can't find any .yaml new file.
For now I understand that I have to create .yaml file and have to write the function on Actionscript Class to encode/decode the .yaml file.
And I also need some get started websites which I can learn myself.
Pls help!
I've never used Yaml as well, however it seems pretty straightforward:
var yaml:YAML = new YAML();
var data:Object = YAML.decode(yourYamlString);
You should really try reading the docs. Also, I wouldn't recommend using YAML unless you really have to. If you can, use AMF (native, faster, parses directly into model) but if you want something a little more 'web standardized' you can use JSON with the as3core library to parse it.
I'm writing an nginx module.
From looking at other examples I'm registering my header filter in my modules postconfiguration hook:
static ngx_int_t
mod_py_postconfig(ngx_conf_t *cf)
{
ngx_http_next_header_filter = ngx_http_top_header_filter;
ngx_http_top_header_filter = mod_py_headers_filter;
return NGX_OK;
}
But the handler is never called. I've set a breakpoint in gdb on ngx_http_top_header_filter change and it seems my module's postconfig is called first, but then runs postconfig of the ngx_http_write_filter_module which overrides ngx_http_top_header_filter w/o storing the old value:
static ngx_int_t
ngx_http_write_filter_init(ngx_conf_t *cf)
{
ngx_http_top_body_filter = ngx_http_write_filter;
return NGX_OK;
}
it seems like it is designed to be the very last on called, so how come my module's postconfig is called first?
From what I can see the order of modules is set in objs/ngx_modules.c
I was able to fix the problem by manually reordering the modules there so that my module comes after ngx_http_header_filter_module, but this feels like an ugly hack, and also makes it hard to automate build process as ./configure overwrites this file each time.
OK, so I figured it out myself. Documenting it here in case anyone else will need it.
I was adding my module to the wrong list. The nginx module is configured through a 'config' file insed module's directory. My had the following line in it:
HTTP_MODULES="$HTTP_MODULES ngx_http_my_module_name"
I searched for HTTP_MODULES usage and found nginx/auto/modules script which actually builds ngx_modules.c file. It turns out there are several possible module lists used by nginx/auto/modules. I needed to add my module to the HTTP_AUX_FILTER_MODULES list like so:
HTTP_AUX_FILTER_MODULES="$HTTP_AUX_FILTER_MODULES ngx_http_my_module_name"
This placed my module at the right place just after HTTP_HEADERS_FILTER_MODULE and fixed the problem.
