I'm attempting to add a personally desired feature for ngx-charts. I got it to work using the standard src directory but, I wanted to build a release version potentially.
Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:
npm i https://github.com/swimlane/ngx-charts/tarball/master --save (this grabs the entire project instead of just the release)
Go into your node_modules/#swimlane/ngx-charts folder and delete the release directory
Rebuild the directory by running npm i && npm run package
Notice how index.d.ts is unable to find any modules even though they're there.
I have noticed that the /common/base-chart.component.d.ts file is never created for some reason causing this problem. But, I cannot for the life of my figure out why. I've tried multiple webpack versions 2-4 but, every attempt results in the same thing.
I believe I am doing something wrong which is why I did not open an issue. I would appreciate any insight into this problem. Thank you for reading!
I would recommend cloning the repository locally rather than installing it from npm:
git clone git#github.com:swimlane/ngx-charts.git
Then install dependencies:
cd ngx-charts
npm install
After that make your changes to the src (you can run the demo app to test while developing with "npm run start")
Then to package:
npm run package
This will build the project and update the release folder

I'm on windows 10
When I run:
npm run start
or
npm start
I get an error:
npm start
> app-test#0.1.0 start
> react-scripts start
'react-scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
What I already tried:
npm ci
remove node_modules and reinstall project
npm audit fix
run command from elevated PowerShell (as admin)
Uninstall Node v.18 win NVM and reinstall common Node installation LTS v.16
Check if react scripts is on dependencies section in package.json - and it's of course there.
Recreate project itself and also create a fresh new React project with npx create-react-app
Clearing npm cache
Nothing's helped me.
BUT This project runs fine WHEN I explicitly tell the node path to subfolder with a script:
app-test> node node_modules/react-scripts/scripts/start.js
Compiled successfully!
You can now view app-test in the browser.
Local: http://localhost:3000
On Your Network: http://192.168.91.1:3000
Note that the development build is not optimized.
To create a production build, use npm run build.
webpack compiled successfully
What's interesting that an old React projects also resided in the parent folder starts normally even I renew node_modules in these projects doing them npm i or npm ci
But any time I try to create and start new React app command npm start fails
UPD1: Tried to create-react-app on any other drive or folder. And it's running ok.
So culprit seems permissions policies in my common working directory ?
UPD2:
I resolved a problem though still have no clear idea who was actually the really culprit of this bug.
I copied all my parent developer folder with all code examples to another drive, then tried to create react app there and out of the blue it worked fine at then new location.
Also I removed this original folder from the drive where it used to be. And do git clone "..." at this directory< recreating the exact structure as it was before all experiments.
Then I tried create-react-app exactly at that location as I've unsuccessfully tried before swapping folders and it was OK !
Tried couple of time with different folder location within parent directory and all sill working fine now !
I remembered now I already have such bug before. And I had to reinstall Windows that time.
I also want to mention that I also have another machine with Windows, another one with Linux and had also laptop with an OSX so I can ( or could) push to this very git repository from any of these computers.
Suggestion of somebody who have any idea, why this bug was happening repeatable would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm new to js and trying to setup a simple project with express and nodemon via npm.
However, installing these packages does give me multiple errors (see below).
I am on Win 10, using the PowerShell & Atom IDE. Project is saved on Google Drive.
"Calc.js" is simply the name of my project.
I have node & npm installed and restarted pc multiple times before.
Then I set up the npm init
I begin to install the first package and get this error:
I try to install express, but get the same result, adding -g also does not make a difference. Now I install "ci", which works for some reason.
Now I have the node modules folder in my project, try to install express again, and it seems to kinda work (got the files in the node_modules folder).
However when I try to run the calc.js via "node calc.js" it
does not work.
Already tried out many things and even accidentally made it work, then tried to reproduce it and failed. Would be super happy for some help.
I am using vis-timelime in one of my projects. I have done some changes in vis-timeline, then locally build it and using it as dependency in my project. While doing so, vis-timeline is getting installed properly but i believe the peer dependencies of vis-timeline are not coming. Do note that I'm using npm version - 7.6.3.
cd vis-timeline;
//added some console logs in few files
npm install;
npm run build;
Then in my project-
cd my-app
npm install local-path-to-my-vis-timeline
Running above commands install the vis-timeline in node_modules of my-app. However, other peer dependencies of vis-timeline like vis-data, etc. do not come automatically. Since I am using npm version 7.6.3, wasn't it supposed to happen automatically?? If not, any graceful solution to this?
Or let me know of any other better way to locally do changes in vis-timeline library and use it in my local project for debugging.
Sounds like an issue with npm. This post has a list of solutions that might work.
Otherwise, maybe try using yarn instead of npm?
I'm a little confused as to why I can't get my Gruntfile.js to run, here's the rub:
I installed grunt globally using npm. It lives in my /usr/local/bin/ directory, here it is:
Previously, I'd installed node.js using homebrew, then grunt with npm. Other issues led me to uninstall node via homebrew & reinstall node directly from the disk image node provides.
In my web project's index, there's a Gruntfile.js script that rebuilds my jekyll site everytime live-reload updates. When I run grunt, I get this message:
What I'm trying to wrap my head around:
Why isn't /usr/local/bin/grunt a valid path? Grunt exists at that location. My guess was that running grunt locally, from within my website's index, would fix things.
There's a node_modules folder there & everything was working fine before after all. I found this link, and tried running \grunt to bypass the bash alias, but that had no effect.
Any advice/suggestions are much appreciated! I feel like an imbecile using things, breaking things & not understanding why/how. Eager to finish my project, get a paycheck & finally have time to learn the ins and outs of terminal, bash & popular package managers so I don't run into these sorts of problems...
After discussion with OP, I find this is a Node.js environment issue. After install - do something - uninstall - reinstall in another way - do something, somehow, when npm install -g XXX is executed, the symbolic link is created and point to some place, but the package is installed some where else. That's why OP see /usr/local/bin/grunt but cannot run it.
I've recommended OP to clean up all Node.js stuff, make a clean environment and start right from the beginning.
Is it ok to have a node.js project with no package.json? The ones I see on the internet all come with package.json
What is the effect of having no package.json?
How is package.json created in the first place? Is it created automatically? I am wondering why I do not have package.json
Fundamentally, package.json is a meta file for your application. It lists all the configuration of your application.
What is the effect of having no package.json?
Nothing as far as you're running all your code locally and have no requirement for deployment whatsoever.
Let's setup a scene for you to understand this better.
Imagine that you wrote a brilliant application using node. Now all the chicks in your surrounding want it to play with. It is so fantastic!
Now you want to give it to them and during the development process you `npm install`ed so many things that your project grows beyond 4TB size.
There is no data storage device available to ship that huge code base.
Then the girl of your dream said I want it and I want it now. So you begin searching for app deployment process for node applications.
That is where you stumble upon a magical thing called package.json.
So what you do is you list all your npm installed modules under dependencies property. Then you delete node_modulesfolder, add package.json and commit the entire damn thing in github. Even the .zip file is of 10MB
Then she gets the code.
Types in npm install && npm start (which will install all the dependencies from the package.json` and start your application)
If you have package.json however, that is where you specify all your dependencies.
Using --save flag of npm install
Example.
npm install express --save
How is package.json created in the first place? Is it created automatically?
You can manually create a text file and save it as package.json
OR
A more sophisticated way is to use the command
npm init
I am wondering why I do not have package.json
Me too! :)
You're most probably following a tutorial that doesn't emphasize on initial configuration of the project OR the author of those tutorials presume that the reader has all the fundamentals down to begin with.
It is created automatically if you write npm init.
Then, every package you add using npm install packagename --save will be added to the dependencies list.
You need package.json so that when you want to use your project on another machine you don't have to copy all node_modules, but only your .js files you have written, assets and package.json. You can then run npm install command and it will automatically download and install all the required modules (found in the list of dependencies inside package.json).
You can also manually create or edit it, but it's easier to add --save when installing a module so you don't have to worry about package versions and stuff like that.
Also if you want to create a npm package, an open source project or stuff other people will use, it's either required or the norm to have this package.json file describing your project.
package.json is npm file, if you don't use npm you will not have this file, npm is a great tool if you want to use external libraries in your project but if you don't need it (which is very not likely unless you are doing something very simple), you don't need package.json file too.
To generate package.json file initialize npm in your project using npm init
possible reason thus it exist is you maybe you enter a wrong command like npm i -y, you must initialize the project first, just enter a command npm init -y
Welcome.
Well, if you are running it on your local machine, it's fine. now to answer your last question, package.json is not created automatically.
the npm command npm init -y creates the 'package.json' file. It basically makes sharing your code and installing your codebase easier.
