I'm trying to update my Bootstrap dependency in my Ember application to the alpha 4 version so I can access the utility classes (such as margin/padding).
I think Bootstrap is a bower dependency since it's listed in bower.json, so I followed the instructions from the new Bootstrap website:
bower install bootstrap#v4.0.0-alpha.3
When I did this, bower.json didn't update. In fact, Bootstrap version is still "bootstrap": "^3.3.7".
The only differences are:
Now I have 152 JSHint errors in my terminal...I tried adding "bootstrap":true to .jshintrc and restarted my server but the errors were still there.
My ember app was broken until I removed line 1 in change-version.js, which was #!/usr/bin/env node.
When I start typing a new css style in my templates, the CSS styles are showing up, but my Ember application is not recognizing them. For example, here is an image:
When I add the class m-r-3 and reload localhost, nothing shows up.
I've already tried importing bootstrap.min.css and bootstrap.css in the ember-cli-build.js file. It didn't work.
I have already read through this page which goes over dependencies but I have had no luck. If anyone could assist here that would be greatly appreciated.
You need to use --save parameter to save bower.json:
bower install --save bootstrap#v4.0.0-alpha.3
Look at the bower_components directory, does it keep the old version of the bootstrap? If so remove it.
You should add bootstrap.css to the ember-cli-build.js, as you said. Have a look at this addon, check your coding against of a typo or erronous adding.
Does your client loads any version of bootstrap? (Check vendor.js)

I want to customize Bootstrap 4 theme such as colors, fonts, etc..
I read the instructions from Bootstrap website saying that I need to create custom.scss file and import Bootstrap’s source Sass files like this
// Custom.scss
// Your variable overrides
$body-bg: #000;
$body-color: #111;
// Bootstrap and its default variables
#import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
I'm new to both Sass and NodeJS and I do not know how to get started with a NodeJS and Sass project.
I went as far as installing NodeJS and Sass on my Mac using brew. I also installed Bootstrap by typing:
npm install bootstrap
This is the most progress I have made. I do not know in which path the bootstrap files are installed when I did the command npm install bootstrap and also I do not know how to bring that Bootstrap installation into my project folder.
Could anyone please provide some information or point me to a resource on how to get started with a NodeJS and Sass project so I can customize Bootstrap 4 theme using Sass.
You have to run the npm install bootstrap command inside your project directory. Bootstrap and its files will then be installed into the directory node_modules/bootstrap inside your project directory.
Now, when placing your custom scss files into this folder, they will be able to access the node_modules directory, in which bootstrap is.
You can then create a custom building pipeline using npm tools for compiling scss files to css. This requires more in-depth knowledge on node.js and NPM, but that is the usual and recommended way of doing it.
If you just want to compile the scss once and work with the css from there without having to use node.js more in depth, you can use packages like scss-compile and then use console commands like node-sass -rw scssFiles -o cssOutputFiles to compile your custom theme once.
I'm trying to get Polymer 0.9 working with Meteor however Meteor is spitting out:
While building the application:
bower_components/polymer/polymer-micro.html:9: bad formatting in HTML template
bower_components/polymer/polymer-mini.html:9: bad formatting in HTML template
bower_components/polymer/polymer.html:17: bad formatting in HTML template
=> Your application has errors. Waiting for file change.
Is there any way to resolve the issue?
You should place the components in public/ at the root of your project.
I've had the same problems. I can't tell if you're using vulcanize, but I assume so.
What fixed me was:
Install Bower: npm install -g bower (bower.org)
Create a file in the root of the project called .bowerrc
Then, you want to tell bower where to install polymer components.
In that .bowerrc put:
{
"directory": "public/bower_components"
}
Now, use bower to install polymer
bower install --save Polymer/polymer#^1.2.0
If you're using other parts of polymer like paper and iron, you'll repeat the bower install step for those as well.
Then attempt starting up meteor again.
New to Jekyll and new to Ruby I tried to include autoprefixer-rails for my (s)css files directly into Jekyll. So once the page is generated by Jekyll autoprefixer would run over my generated css files. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to set things up properly and autoprefixer doesn't seem to even touch my files.
Following my Gemfile:
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem 'jekyll'
gem 'jekyll-assets'
gem 'autoprefixer-rails'
And parts of my Jekyll configuration file:
...
gems: ['jekyll-assets', 'autoprefixer-rails']
...
Which settings are missing to make it work?
Any help is appreciated!
I am able to use it with jekyll 3 by installing the octopress autoprefixer here:
https://github.com/octopress/autoprefixer.
You then put:
gems: [octopress-autoprefixer] in your config file. I am not using octopress, I only installed this to see if it would work.
In the process I also installed node.js (on a pc , win 10), so I could install autoprefixer-rails. Not sure if the octopress installer took care of this or not though, I was just trying random things to see if it would work. I think node.js was a requirement as I remember nothing happened until I rebooted and then everything worked.
It works great, though it does slow my build time down - on a small site that normally builds in .5 seconds it goes up to 12 seconds.
That's perfectly possible, and easy, too!
Most resources you'll find online will suggest to switch to Jekyll Assets, which comes with a number of default plugins, including autoprefixer-rails. That, however, replaces the entire Jekyll asset pipeline, and requires changes in lots of places. A fairly high investment up front, just to get it working. Plus, the project appears to be dormant.
Continuing my quest to find a simple solution to a simple problem, I came across jekyll-autoprefixer, available as a Ruby Gem. Integrating that into my Jekyll workflow was embarrassingly straightforward:
Update the Gemfile to include the following:
gem "jekyll-autoprefixer", "~> 1.0.2"
Add the following to _config.yml:
plugins:
- jekyll-autoprefixer
Optionally add required browser support to _config.yml (e.g. for the latest 2 versions and Edge version 14 and up):
autoprefixer:
browsers:
- last 2 versions
- Edge >= 14
Note: You can alternatively supply a .browserslistrc file in the root directory.
Optionally enable CSS Grid Layout prefixing. This appears to be unsafe, and is disabled by default. You can either enable it from CSS code using a control comment (e.g. /* autoprefixer grid: autoplace */), or globally through _config.yml:
autoprefixer:
grid: autoplace
That's all that's needed to integrate autoprefixer into Jekyll.
Documentation to add Autoprefixer to Jekyll with jekyll-assets and autoprefixer-rails has been updated:
https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-assets#addons
autoprefixer-rails is a Rails plugin, it has nothing to do with Jekyll and can't be used in Jekyll.
If you need a similar feature in Jekyll, you currently have no other options than develop it yourself. You can grab part of the code from the Rails plugin, but the way Jekyll plugins work is significantly different.
This may seem like a silly question for front end developers, but how do you modify the CSS stylesheets in JHipster? With Gulp, Nodejs, Bower, Boostrap, Sass, Gradle/Maven and Compass all intermingled, some pointers to get started would be appreciated. I'm using Gradle.
Of course, simply modifying src/main/scss/main.scss, doesn't seem to work!
The solution is:
Install gulp - see: https://gist.github.com/aaronwaldon/8657432 and
any missing npm dependencies not mentioned in the article (if gulp fails in #3 below).
Edit src/main/scss/main.scss as required.
Then, in the project root (where gulpfile.js is), and run gulp - for my configuration, we're using Compass, so the "gulp compass" command updated the css.
I always find it difficult to manually load external libraries in Meteor.js due to its non-traditional way. I need some advice on how to load these libraries in the cleanest possible way
1 client
2 server
3 packages
4 public
4.1 resources
4.2 font-awesome
4.2.1 css
4.2.2 fonts
4.2.3 less
4.2.4 scss
4.3 fonts
Above is my root structure. In the public folder, I have all the images under resources and then the folder for font-awesome 4. Now, when I load this it shows the square symbol meaning it's not loading it properly.
I was under the impression that there is no need to reference any CSS etc in meteor as it's all bundled together at runtime. Am I missing something?
I did try using the meteorite packages but it just installs stuff and does nothing! I'd rather do it manually and change the references where needed.
Once too often, I have been asking myself this same question, if you know what I mean.
You could modify the font awesome css files so that the fonts url is referenced to /font-wesome/fonts/ instead of ../fonts. Move the css/less files (such as font-awesome.css) into /client
E.g its usually
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.0.3')
change it to
url('/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.0.3')
There are also others for each type of font the above is for woff, no bone.
The directory would depend on the location of your file in /public, e.g if you used /public/danielle you would use /danielle
Adding with meteorite
If you added with meteorite don't forget to add it to meteor too i.e
mrt add font-awesome
meteor add font-awesome
or for windows
cd packages
git clone https://github.com/nate-strauser/meteor-font-awesome.git
rename meteor add meteor-font-awesome font-awesome
meteor add font-awesome
