I took an existing web site that was mobile responsive, turned it into a meteor application, and now it isn't responsive. Do I need to install an extension or something?
This is most likely not a meteor specific problem unless your framework requires specific loading of js to make it responsive.....
Check for your responsive framework as a package and install that. If its not there and requires JS you will need to use the compatibility folder or fix the javascript up.
There are no other features within meteor that i know of that should make "it responsive"

I would like to develop a web application with Spring Boot, Spring Web MVC and Thymeleaf. I recently stumbled upon Web Components and Polymer which might be a good addition to Thymeleaf in order to use cool components. As I'm a frontend noob, I ask myself why I need this npm and bower stuff in order to use Polymer.
If I got it right, Web Components and Polymer are just js libraries. Why can't I just include them (maybe by using a cdn) in my html page? I like Thymeleaf as it's possible to view the pages without the need to have a webserver. If I could just include polymer as js library that would still work. I am quite sure that I misunderstand some major concepts, but I can't grab it. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
My team maintains an old coffeescript+knockout UI, of which we're slowly replacing pieces with modern React code. The project has a complicated build system, but we've been able to hook create-react-app into it and inject the bundled files into the main app. This works, but rebuilds are costly.
How can I improve our development experience by editing whatever we can inside the browser, rather than waiting for a full rebuild on each change?
In some cases we can just use the CRA dev server which is great, but we often rely on styling and code from the rest of the app so working on each component in complete isolation is difficult.
Thanks!
For CSS you can always use your browser's dev tools to change styles until it looks nice, then you copy from dev tools to your app and only have to rebuild once.
For JS you could use Hot Module Replacement (HMR) as a webpack plugin (not included in CRA, you will have to eject).
I am building my app in phonegap. In that app I am calling my wordpress website like window.location="http://www.example.com/";.
Because of window.location my app UI and mobile browser UI are looks same. So I want to detect phonegap app to defer from browser UI. Is there any way to do this.

Okay. Thanks. VERY GOOD TO KNOW. I spend hours getting beginners to understand issues. You got them.
Okay, once you load a webpage from a website you are NOT allowed to access any of the Cordova Plugin APIs. However, you can access HTML5 API, like camera and geolocation. Again, you cannot access any of the Cordova Plugin APIs, and any of the 800+ 3rd-party APIs.
The best way to access the web, is via inAppBrowser. However, the third paragraph states:
The InAppBrowser window behaves like a standard web browser, and can't access Cordova APIs. For this reason, the InAppBrowser is recommended if you need to load third-party (untrusted) content, instead of loading that into the main Cordova webview.
Apple is serious about their security, so if they detect you are going around this, they may reject your App. Just to be clear on this, there is a new security protocol, which Phonegap Build now requires, and so does Apple. With Phonegap Build, it will create the required Apple ATS entries into the Info.plist.
So, the best I can do at this point is give you three (3) links.
Top Mistakes by Developers new to Cordova/Phonegap
Core Plugins Setup
HOW TO apply the Cordova/Phonegap the whitelist system
On 1., you have hit #5 When designing the app, thinks phonegap works like a website or webbrowser.. For the remainder, I recommend just reading the bold sentences.
On 2., if you want to use the Cordova Plugins, it is best to use the version numbers, if not you will get the latest, and your code may break. This is because now, Phonegap Build now uses NPM for the plugins. And many times bugs fixes get into the plugin, that require the latest compiler - and Phonegap Build is always at least one version behind.
On 3., You'll need to use the whitelist to apply the fixes that maybe required for any new plugins you are using.
If you have more questions, I can answer them in comments. If it get too complicate, we can move to Google Group of Cordova/Phonegap - Best of Luck.
Of course this can be done using an iframe, but i'm looking for a solution where the application is injected in the dom on load, using all of the stylesheets and scripts that are already available on the page.
This is useful for websites that need a component with rather difficult requirements (like live push updates), that are available out of the box when using meteor.
I don't want to embed a meteor application inside of an iframe, because of the need of duplicating stylesheets of scripts on the main page.
Because Meteor is a full-stack application framework, this won't be possible. Meteor isn't like a typical client-side javascript framework where you can just hook it into some other platform, it's a platform itself. So I would ask: what are you trying to do, and why do you think inserting Meteor into the page will help solve your problem?
I plan to build a database management system using Grails as the main framework. On the client side, I'm thinking whether to use dojo or flex to make a nice front end.
Could some experts here enlighten me on the pros and cons of choosing either, or both?
or any other options?
thanks!
I tried using Dojo in a project and even brought a few books. And while Dojo Looks good I found that JQuery and JQuery-UI was a lot lighter and worked faster.
This is just my opinion and it may help you.
From the description of the flex plugin at http://www.grails.org/Flex+Plugin
"This plugin was created as an experiment to prove that it's possible to communicate from Flex to Grails services without any configuration in Flex. There
is no plan to add functionality or whatsoever. It's not sure if the plugin works in production mode as it is only tested in development mode. This plugin
can be seen as an example on how to integrate Flex and Grails with Convention over Configuration in mind."
There is no scaffolding generation for flex, see this bug
Another disadvantage of Flex is its lack of accessibility for screen reader users with the default configuration. There is some work being done to address this but it isn't publically available yet.
I don't have experience with DOJO but according to this link if you use the standard Grails Ajax tags you should be able to switch libraries with out to much trouble and won't be tied to Dojo. For fancy UI stuff such as tabbed interfaces and data tables I've found GrailsUI works well for me. A demo project showing its features can be found at http://code.google.com/p/guidemo/ although you'll have to check the code out to run it.
I am developing an information-management application with Dojo 1.9.2 and Grails 2.3.9 (lots of simle/complex forms, listing screens...etc). The application has a single-page interface as well (a workspace) which was the primary reason for a heavy JavaScript library.
Overall, Dojo is fairly suitable for this kind of workload and I haven't bumped into any show-stoppers yet.
I needed to do a lot of work on integrating the Dojox DataGrid into the application (extending QueryReadStore to fit with Grails better...etc) and a set of custom widget extensions (e.g. a real, working AutoComplete).
After this larger, initial integration work is done, you can expect a fairly smooth ride.
