Is it possible to run a js file locally that downloads a secondary file and then run the latter?
I know the best thing would be to download the file from the server and save it locally, I would just like to understand if there is still the possibility to do the above.
Example:
Open terminal
1- node index js
2 - download scripts js in the same directory as index.js
3 - download is complete, start script js automatically.
Even if it is possible to solve it with Node.js workarounds (like requireing your puppeteer script from an url etc.) I strongly suggest to use Git with your team to share the latest version of your script. Version control is a must in modern software development, especially if you are working in a team. By learning the 6-7 most basic git commands you can solve almost everything you need for the current use case.
There are many good tutorials how to get started with git, I recommend GitHub's https://try.github.io.
Of course: you need to convince your team to embrace the change, or in better case they are already using it for version control, so it will be familiar to them.
You will need to:
Install Git locally;
Create a new repository on a server where you can store the latest stable versions of all your scripts (if it is not an open source project make sure it is private! GitLab, GitHub and Bitbucket provides/hosts free private repositories that will suit your needs);
Share the HTTPS (or SSH) URL of the repository with your team (e.g.: https://github.com/.../puppeteer-scripts.git) which they can clone;
Make sure your changes are pushed to the remote git repository;
Your team can pull the latest changes to their local computer (it will be their responsiblity to check if there were changes in the scripts, but you can notify them as well - there are automatic notifications if one starts to "watch" a git repository);
Lastly
Git can be frightening at first sight, but it can be learned in a few days and it makes code sharing smooth within your team.
One of Git's tagline describes very well why it will solve your problem:
--everything-is-local
I am working on a project where I want to make it look as if a shutter of a camera is opening and closing... I was able to get this to work in a regular html/css/js file structure however when I trie to bring/ incorporate it into Foundations Responsive Frameworks I was not able to get it to work. There are no errors in the console and checked to make sure everything is linked correctly. ... I have attached both folders in the link, the working folder that is not in a framework and the broken folder that I am trying to use foundations framework..

Thank you in advance for any feedback/help.

Unfortunately, I cannot fix it.
Fortunately, I did figure out the problem.
The jquery.shutter.css is not loading properly. Here is my attempt at your project in React.
When I take your working example and delete the jquery.shutter.css file, I get the exact same result as the React version which has no error message. I gave it a good try and cannot fix it without more time. I hope knowing the problem helps you.
Note: Unfortunately Google will not let me upload a JSON file so you will have to change package.txt to package.json and install using Node
Github recently released their Atom editor open-source. Since it's all written in JavaScript, it should be relatively easy to embed. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it runs anywhere except in node and the custom version of Chromium they bundle with Atom releases.
Does anyone know how I would go about packaging Atom up for the browser? Has anyone already attempted this?
Atom.io is an editor that you download, and you can not embed it in a webpage. I think what you are looking for is something like Prose.io. You can sign in with Github and edit files in your repository. Unfortunately, Prose's interface is different than other editors. I am not sure how cleanly it will embed, but it looks like the best place to start. The project is open source, and it was designed to manage GitHub Pages (small static websites hosted on a GitHub repo). I am not sure how well it will integrate with what you are doing, but I hope that gives you a good starting point.
The problem with this is that the JavaScript environment in the browser and the one in nodejs differ. For example in a browser you can not access the local filesystem which it was nodejs can do and which atom.io makes use of. For embedding atom you'd mainly have to find all these differences and work around them (e.g. reading files from a socket).

I've got a painfully simple jQuery plugin that I've written and placed on github. I am using Github for Windows and the website itself to manage the project.
Unfortunately, if I try to include any of the .js or .css files that I've uploaded there, through the Raw links, it fails in my browser due to the MIME-type being plain/text.
So, for the last couple of hours I've been researching how to get a copy of the files, through github, that people (including myself) can link to. The first step seems to be creating a project page (gh-pages branch)... that much I have grasped.
However, all of the material I've found so far either expects you to have a UNIX-based system, or do some console-based trickery:
Examples: GitHub, SO, SO
Now, there must be a straightforward way to simply make these source files available for inclusion. I went through the automated steps of creating a 'project page' and now I'm presented with another branch that is claiming to be behind the 'master' branch, but I can't see what I'm supposed to do next. It's not even clear to me why on earth I'm required to make another branch. This whole thing seems far more complicated than it needs to be.
So, to recap:
I've created a branch in Github (using Windows app and website)
I can manage that, and update my files, without incident
I am unable to include the .js and .css files using a 'raw' links
I want to be able to include those files in a page
I'd like to do this through Github for Windows, or on the site itself
If anyone could help walk me through this, I'd appreciate it. Also, I'd expect that A LOT of others would as well.
EDIT: Here is an example of a well-known Github project that has its files available through Github:
Select2:
http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/select2-3.4.2/select2.js
EDIT2: Okay, conceptually, I now understand why I have to create a separate branch, in order to share the files - as the source control aspects of Github aren't meant to act as a CDN, the project page simply provides a public website where you can place your files. So the question now becomes: How do I put my files from the master branch into the gh-pages branch? I'm not worried about automating it or anything right now, all I want is access to the directory structure so I can place files in there. I've tried syncing and re-syncing my branch with Github Windows, but it tells me that there's nothing to get from the gh-pages branch, even though it's "10 commits behind". What is going on?
EDIT3: Added my own answer, for what I've come up with (so far).
As mentioned, there's lots of information out there for people who are using console-based Git software. However, I could not find a single piece of info on how to do this solely through Github Windows. Well, here is the solution:
Process:
Create a project page, as described here: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-pages-with-the-automatic-generator
Unfortunately, they only have console-based solution for getting a local copy. So here's how the rest of this works in Github Windows... (assumption: project name is myproject, consisting of myproject.js and myproject.css)
After the page has been created (takes a few minutes), open up Github Windows.
In Github Windows, open the repository for the project. On the top menubar it has "in sync", "master", "tools". Click on "master" and switch to "gh-pages" branch - SO example.
When you do this, the folder C:\Users\YourName\Documents\GitHub\myproject will now display the files for the "gh-pages" branch. If you click "master", in Github Windows, it will change the folder structure to once again represent the "master" branch. This is what confused me earlier, you can't see the directory structure for both branches at the same time.
Select the "master" branch in Github Windows.
In Windows Explorer, copy myproject.js and myproject.css into a separate directory (e.g., c:\temp).
Go back to Github Windows and select the "gh-pages" branch.
Go back to Windows Explorer and cut the files you put into c:\temp and paste them into a directory like C:\Users\YourName\Documents\GitHub\myproject\myproject-1.0\
Go back to Github Windows, and you'll see "2 files to be commited". Type in your commit message and click 'Commit'.
Then click 'Sync'.
You can now include these files in your webpages, using a URL like: http://yourname.github.io/myproject/myproject-1.0/myproject.js
Obviously this is a huge pain in the ass to do it this way, if you expect to be updating the source file(s) regularly. So obviously an automated approach would be most ideal. There is an answer for this on SO here, unfortunately it involves UNIX-based scripting which I have zero knowledge of (and, truthfully, no interest in learning just for this). If anyone comes up with a more efficient way of doing this, using only the GUI-based tools, I'm sure myself and many others would be interested in hearing about it.
EDIT: This solution is obviously usurping Github's intended way of doing things, as when I click on the "gh-pages" branch on the github website it tells me that it's "5 commits ahead and 11 commits behind" the master branch, even though they have the same files. So, again, if anyone else has a better GUI-based solution to this problem, I'm all ears.
Git(hub) software for Windows is the buggiest thing I've ever used (well, besides Windows itself). Back when I used Windows, I could hardly get anything to work with Git at all.
But, anyways, to answer your question, if you open a command prompt and type in
git checkout -b gh-pages
(if it complains about branch gh-pages already existing, remove the -b.)
it should switch the branch. Then, you can launch notepad++ or whatever text editor you use (you might have to do it from the terminal, I can't remember), add the file you want, and then type in (in cmd):
git add .
This recursively adds all files in the folder to Git.
git commit -m "Add file for easy user download"
This adds the commit message.
git remote add origin git#github.com:yourusername/yourrepository.git
This adds the Github repo so you can push to it
git push origin gh-pages
This pushes your changes to Github.
And, you're all set!
You might want to read this on Git branching.
Goal
My goal is to get an UML model out of my JavaScript project (consisting of several .js files) and store it as XMI.
How far I've come
I searched the internet and found out js/uml is the first place to go.
I've managed it to get the js/uml plugin running with Eclipse 3.7.1 (Win32) and a local installation of my pre-downloaded additional plugins:
mdt-uml2tools-Update-incubation-I201103290512.zip (installs required org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.clazz 0.10.0)
jsuml-eclipse-0.8.4.zip (only works with Eclipse 3.7.1 (Indigo))
I loaded the provided example project jsuml-example-yui-0.8.4.zip into Eclipse and added all my .js files to this project also.
Problem
Now I'm stuck and do not get it how to call the reverse engineering of my .js files. I can call 'New'->'Other'->'UML 2.1 Diagrams'->'Class Diagram' from the project's context menu, but I don't get the following steps of that assistant dialog, nor do I get it if this is the right way at all. Please, could you help me with an easy understandable click tutorial? The js/uml homepage does not explain it well enough IMHO. Thanks for your help in advance.
Someone adapted UML for web artifact, its called the "WAE" extension of UML. This way you can see not only your javascript files but the html and css. If you work with node.js, i created a module that generate class diagram for javascript/node/html/css. Its called wavi. For javascript, function,variable are automatically recognized. You can use it for documenting your application.
https://www.npmjs.org/package/wavi
Well, I think I have come quite close.
There's a command-line tool called Code2Flow. which uses GaphViz to generate graphs for Python and JavaScript sources.
I tried it, it does generate the graphs but somehow i can't make to do right.
I hope this will help you or someone.
