Translating views with HotTowel (Durandal framework) + VS2012 - asp.net

I develop an ASP.NET MVC solution with Durandal and Breeze. I need to translate frontend to french and dutch. How to proceed with Durandal/knockout?
In a classic ASP.NET MVC solution we have the opportunity to have the views rendered server side (thanks to razor).
Thanks for your help.

To expand on Rob's answer of trying the i18n.js plugin for require.js, here's the steps I followed (I'm working off the Durandal starter template in Visual Studio).
Download the i18n.js plugin and put it in the App folder.
Create an App/nls folder, which is where you will put the require.js resource bundles, e.g. App/nls/welcomeBundle.js.
define({
"root": {
"displayName": "Welcome to the Durandal Starter Project!"
},
"fr-fr": true
});
You'll see I added a line to tell require.js that there's a French version available. This will be created in App/nls/fr-fr/welcomeBundle.js, which I kinda did below (changed the to le :D)
define({
"displayName": "Welcome to le Durandal Starter Project!"
});
require.js needs to be configured initially with the locale (can't be done dynamically). So in the main.js file, I declare the below getLocale() function, which I use to configure the locale for require.js:
function getLocale() {
var locale = 'en-us';
if (localStorage) {
var storedLocale = localStorage.getItem('locale');
locale = storedLocale || locale;
}
return locale;
}
requirejs.config({
paths: {
'text': 'durandal/amd/text'
},
locale: getLocale()
});
In the welcome.js module I then load the bundle and use it for the displayName property:
define(function(require) {
var bundle = require('i18n!nls/welcomeBundle');
return {
displayName: bundle.displayName,
...
}
});
I then set the locale to French and reload the page via JavaScript:
localStorage.setItem('locale', 'fr-fr');
location.reload();
Hope that helps :)
Edit: 2013-04-04: I updated the above to initialize the locale in the main.js file and not in the shell.js module, as for some reason the locale wasn't being used correctly when loading the bundle in the shell module. Figure that it should be configured as soon as possible anyway.

Hangfire Dashboard broken after deployment - not load css and js

when working the development the dashboard is seen correctly, but when it is uploaded to production not load the css and js files
project version net core 3.1 api
hangfire error
my startup
app.UseHangfireDashboard("/hangfire", new DashboardOptions
{
Authorization = new[] { new CustomAuthorizationFilter() }
});
I tried the following without results, the server is windows and the authorization filter is simple... I'm not sure what the problem is... but it doesn't load the css and js files
app.Use((context, next) =>
{
// note : comment this to debug locally
context.Request.PathBase = "jobs";
return next();
});

Adding Facebook login to Angular2-Meteor app

I am attempting to add Facebook authentication into an Angular2-Meteor app that started off as the Socially app from the tutorial and is slowly being modified into something less generic. There doesn't seem to be much posted on this particular use case however.
Note: I've asked in the Meteor forums and Gitter without success already.
Here are the steps I've taken:
Added Service Configuration package using
meteor add service-configuration
Created a file at server/services.ts containing (with my actual keys):
ServiceConfiguration.configurations.upsert({
"service": "facebook"
}, {
$set: {
"settings": {
"appId": “appid”,
“secret": "secret",
"loginStyle": "popup"
}
}
});
But on compile, I get an error saying
cannot find name 'ServiceConfiguration'
Which makes me think the package didn't install properly, but uninstalling/reinstalling it has not resolved the issue and it is showing in my .meteor directory.
Client side I'm calling this method with a click event on a button in a component that does have Meteor imported:
facebook() {
Meteor.loginWithFacebook((err) => {
if (err) {
//Handle error
} else {
//Handle sign in (I reroute)
this.router.navigate(['/home']);
}
})
Which throws the console error
meteor_1.Meteor.loginWithFacebook is not a function
But I suspect this is secondary to the fact that ServicesConfiguration isn't registering.
Git repo of the project is here: https://github.com/nanomoffet/ng2-starter with the referenced files being server/services.ts and client/app.ts
Currently it is not possible to use the ServiceConfiguration in TypeScript. What I did in my application was that I created a Javascript file in which I did make the ServiceConfiguration calls.
meteor add service-configuration
Create the file ./server/service-config.js
Meteor.startup(() => {
ServiceConfiguration.configurations.remove({
service: "facebook"
});
ServiceConfiguration.configurations.insert({
service: "facebook",
appId: '<APP_ID_YOU_GET_FROM FROM_FACEBOOK>',
loginStyle: "popup",
secret: '<SECRET_YOU_GET_FROM_FACEBOOK>'
});
});
I only tested it with Google and works fine for me.

MeteorJS with spiderable - or another solution for making App crawlable?

Current we are using a meteor App with the iron:router package and also the spiderable and phantomjs for making this app crawlable by google.
In our special case we have some Routes where we call Meteor methods which are running async before we render the right template into our layout.
When testing spiderable on these routes the template will never get rendered and instead our "loading" template will be the rendered template.
We are testing this with /?_escaped_fragment_=
Now we are looking for a solution to tell spiderable that the page is ready or is not ready so we can control when the page has to be rendered.
Router.route('/awesome-route', function(){
// This is how it could look to tell spiderable that it has to wait
Spiderable.pleaseWait();
// Render the loading template until our route is ready
this.render('loading');
// Waiting for the response of our method
Meteor.call('data', function(err, resp){
this.render('awesome', {
data : resp
});
// This is how it could look to tell spiderable we are ready / always be polite
Spiderable.thanksForWaiting_WeAreReady();
});
}, {
name : 'awesome'
});
When opening now localhost:3000/awesome-route?_escaped_fragment_= we will just see the laoding template ...
The other option for us would be: Is there any alternatives for getting meteor apps crawled by google yet ?
Since spiderable will pre-render your template using phantomjs on server, there is no need for special methods like spiderablePleaseWaitForALittleBitMore_Please
You can just say to your iron:router that template is not rendered yet. Use onBeforeAction hook:
Router.route('/awesome-route', {
name : 'awesome',
template: "awesome",
loadingTemplate: "loading",
onBeforeAction: function(){
var next = this.next;
Meteor.call('data', function(err, resp){
next();
});
}
});

Meteor - How to load a JS library for only specific users?

I'm designing an administration interface with graphics and so on and I'm using the Highcharts Library (140kb). I want this file to be loaded only for admin users. What would be the best way to do it?
I just saw that we could use Iron-Router to conditionally load JavaScript but I don't like the idea to handle this kind of things inside the router as below:
Router.map ->
#route 'admin',
path: '/admin'
template: 'admin'
action: ->
$.getScript '/js/moment.min.js', (data, textStatus, jqxhr) ->
if jqxhr.status is 200
#render()
NOTE: I wrote a little blog post to load a library for only specific users with Meteor.
Does this not work (on the client)?
var loaded = false;
Deps.autorun(function() {
if (!loaded && isAdmin(Meteor.userId())) {
$.getScript("/js/moment.min.js");
loaded = true;
}
});

Serving an "index.html" file in public/ when using MeteorJS and Iron Router?

I want to serve a static HTML file from MeteorJS's public folder (as is possible with Rails and Express). The reason I'm doing this is because I have one template for the dynamic "admin" part of my webapp and another for the sales-y "frontend" part of the app.
I don't want this file to be wrapped in a Meteor template as suggested in this answer as it will automatically bring in the minified CSS, etc... that the dynamic pages use.
Is there a way I can setup the public folder (and all its subfolders) so that it serves index.html? This way http://app.com/ will load public/index.html?
You could use the private folder instead and then use Assets.getText to load the contents of the file, then serve it with a server-side router from iron-router.
So off the top of my head the code would look something like this:
if (Meteor.isServer) {
Router.map(function() {
this.route('serverRoute', {
path: '/',
where: 'server',
action: function() {
var contents = Assets.getText('index.html');
this.response.end(contents);
}
});
});
}
this is what I put in bootstrap.js
Router.route('/', {
where: 'server'
}).get(function() {
var contents;
contents = Assets.getText('index.html');
return this.response.end(contents);
});
