I'm having trouble with adding Summernote to my NPM. I want to use NPM so that all of the JS and CSS files are in one file. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get Summernote to work when I add it in the Laravel-mix and Webpack. I know it works when I add the script link in my main.blade.php. The problem is that jQuery is always at the end of my app.js file, but I need Summernote to be the last.
webpack.mix.js
mix.js([
'resources/assets/js/app.js',
// I tried to add a new file with only summernote required to get it to be the
// last package to be in the app.js but no luck.
//'resources/assets/js/summernote.js'
], 'public/js');
assets/js/app.js
require('./bootstrap');
// Menu
require('./sidebar.js');
./bootstrap
window._ = require('lodash');
/**
* We'll load jQuery and the Bootstrap jQuery plugin which provides support
* for JavaScript based Bootstrap features such as modals and tabs. This
* code may be modified to fit the specific needs of your application.
*/
window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery');
// Packages
require('bootstrap-sass');
require('owl.carousel');
require('perfect-scrollbar/jquery')(window.$);
require('datatables.net-bs');
require('codemirror');
require('summernote');
require('select2');
// Set some global options for select2
$.fn.select2.defaults.set("theme", "bootstrap");
I know that all the version of jQuery, bootstrap etc are working together so that is not the problem. I just need to get the summernote js code underneath the jquery...

I am trying to convert an html project into a vue app.
The original project uses jquery plugin for Revolution slider by adding them via script tag inside html file's body tag and later initializing them:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/revolution/js/jquery.themepunch.tools.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/revolution/js/jquery.themepunch.revolution.min.js"></script>
What is the best way to add revolution slider to my vue project?
I have installed jquery via npm and tried to import these scripts into the main.js entrypoint file. I am not familiar with node or npm. Also when app loads, the jQuery is undefined inside these scripts raising errors in the console, which means there is something wrong.
The easiest way is probably to load jquery in the same way (before those two script tags).
Import jQuery into your main.js and then set window.$
import $ from 'jquery'
window.$ = $
That will make it available globally so the scripts can use $ in the standard way.
For the first time I am using Yarn. I have installed the latest version of Laravel Boilerplate (http://laravel-boilerplate.com/) and there is used Yarn.
My need is to include the JS library DataTables (https://datatables.net/).
Unfortunately I am new to Yarn and I am not sure if I am making everything right, because I get the error:
[Show/hide message details.] ReferenceError: $ is not defined
which is on the this line:
$(document).ready(function() {
...
This is telling me that it cannot find the jquery library, but it should be there.
Here is the webpack.mix.js code:
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Mix Asset Management
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Mix provides a clean, fluent API for defining some Webpack build steps
| for your Laravel application. By default, we are compiling the Sass
| file for the application as well as bundling up all the JS files.

*/
mix.setPublicPath('public');
mix.sass('resources/sass/frontend/app.scss', 'css/frontend/frontend.css')
.sass('resources/sass/backend/app.scss', 'css/backend/backend.css')
.js('resources/js/frontend/app.js', 'js/frontend/frontend.js')
.js([
'resources/js/backend/before.js',
'resources/js/backend/app.js',
'resources/js/backend/after.js'
], 'js/backend/backend.js')
.extract([
'jquery',
'datatables.net-dt',
'bootstrap',
'popper.js/dist/umd/popper',
'axios',
'sweetalert2',
'lodash',
'#fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core',
'#fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons',
'#fortawesome/free-regular-svg-icons',
'#fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'
]);
if (mix.inProduction() || process.env.npm_lifecycle_event !== 'hot') {
mix.version();
}
Every time I call the command "yarn prod" in order to create the CSS and js files, but the DataTables are not working.
Did I miss something?
Thanks in advance!
It's not because of yarn. Yarn is a package manager, it doesn't run any part of your application's code so cannot generate an error like yours. Yarn is just for downloading packages and manage their dependencies.
Then comes Laravel Mix for you, which is just a wrapper around Webpack. Webpack reads your application code, handles your require and import commands in your .js files and then generates your bundles.
How to make it work:
I suppose you did run the yarn command (without params) in your project root once when you installed Laravel Boilerplate. There should be a lot of packages inside your node_modules directory (more than 900).
Then you did run yarn add -D datatables.net-dt also. Now you should have a datatables.net and a datatables.net-dt folder inside node_modules.
I see you've added datatables.net-dt in your webpack.mix.js, this is OK! You don't need any other require( 'datatables.net-dt' )( window, $ ); as said in the documentation. That one line in your webpack.mix.js is enough! DataTable will be inside your vendor.js.
Now create an example table with attribute id="example" in your index.blade.php then add this code to the bottom of your resources\js\frontend\app.js:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable();
});
Then run yarn dev to let Webpack generate your bundles (compiled js files) and view your site in the browser. Following these, it should be working on a fresh install install of Laravel Boilerplate, without any error. I've just tested id now, works like charm.
Your possible bug:
$ is not defined tells that some part of your code is trying to use jQuery before it has been loaded.
It's important that you must write your codes using jQuery (shortened $) inside your resources\js\frontend\app.js or in a separate .js which is later required/imported into this file! It's because jQuery and other vendor packages like DataTable are stored in vendor.js, which must be loaded before any calls to them.
So don't use custom <script> tags in your html's <head> tag for your app code because that will be loaded and executed before any other defined in the bottom of your <body> tag!
Have a look at this file resources\views\frontend\layouts\app.blade.php. In the bottom of the body tag you'll see this:
<!-- Scripts -->
#stack('before-scripts')
{!! script(mix('js/manifest.js')) !!}
{!! script(mix('js/vendor.js')) !!}
{!! script(mix('js/frontend.js')) !!}
#stack('after-scripts')
Your resources\js\frontend\app.js and all its imported scripts will be compiled to this js/frontend.js file.
How jQuery is imported in Laravel Boilerplate:
This is done well by default, you don't have to bother with it. Open your resources\js\bootstrap.js and see these two lines:
import $ from 'jquery';
window.$ = window.jQuery = $;
This file will then imported by frontend/app.js. So write your code here and you'll be fine...
PS.: If this doesn't helps you to make it work, you should edit your question and provide more info on your sources. A screenshot for example taken from your Chrome DevTools, showing the lines of your JavaScript where the error occurred.
I am quite new in using webback and encore, so I don't know exactly which is the approach to handle this.
I have a website with a few js files, and it uses jQuery and Bootstrap. I want to create a unique minified js file using webpack.
I've been able to successfully do it following the examples at Symfony website, so I am able to just include one app.js and encore builds the dependencies correctly.
There are some javascript libraries that are not used in my app.js but will be used in some javascript code inlined in the website, like for example the PhotoSwipe.
Currently, I am requiring the PhotoSwipe library inside my main.js file, although this file doesn't use this library.
// Resources/public/js/main.js
import PhotoSwipe from 'photoswipe';
import PhotoSwipeUI_Default from 'photoswipe/dist/photoswipe-ui-default';
So, how can I tell encore to add this library into the builded app.js without having to add it in my main.js?
I've tied to add it in webpack.config.json
.addEntry('app', [
'./src/AppBundle/Resources/public/js/main.js',
'photoswipe',
'photoswipe/dist/photoswipe-ui-default'
])
If I check the app.js generated I can see the code has been added to app.js, but when I try in my html code to call Photoswipe I get the error Uncaught ReferenceError: PhotoSwipe is not defined
I guess that this is as the libraries are confined inside the js file, and I should add some kind of export to be accessible, I don't know, as I've said, I am very new in this ;)
This is how I managed my libraries:
// Resources/public/js/myCustomScript.js
const PhotoSwipe = require('photoswipe.js)';
const PhotoSwipeUI_Default = require ('photoswipe/dist/photoswipe-ui-default');
[...] // do PhotoSwipe stuff
And in your webpack.config.json only:
.addEntry('myCustomScript', './src/AppBundle/Resources/public/js/myCustomScript.js')
Then in the templates that needs this script :
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset('build/myCustomScript.js') }}"></script>
i can't really get my js libraries to work , some time ago i decided to have a separate js file for every library i use (so i have a jquery.js file and a bootstrap.js file included in my layout) ,everything was working just fine until i had to add jquery-ui to this chaos , and got this error
Uncaught TypeError: $(...).slider is not a function
until i loaded ,jquery and jquery-ui in the same file .The problem is i dont want to include jquery ui everywhere i include jquery , beacuse i only use it in 2 pages. Below i will put my code :
jquery-ui.slider.js:
require('jquery-ui/ui/widgets/slider');
require('./components/carFilter.js');
app.js:
window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery');
require('./bootstrap');
webpack.mix.js:
mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
mix.js('resources/assets/js/jquery-ui.slider.js', 'public/js');
I am using the following npm modules :
bootstrap-sass
jquery
jquery-ui
I ended up by just creating a file where i require jquery,bootstrap.js and then i require this file in a specific file for the two pages...
Below its the code:
app.js
window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery');
require('./bootstrap');
page.js
require('./app.js')
require('jquery-ui/ui/widgets/slider');
It seams that now it is working ,even if now i have to include a js file in all the views...Question its still open , i hope somone have a beter idea .
I think laravel-mix only serves the purpose when you have small sites with pages that all include the same app.js & app.css files.
When you have complex portal with multiple pages that have different set of frontend "plugins" you have to split your entries & generate a table of dependencies automatically.
After a lot of time searching I've come to the conclusion that the best approach would be switch to webpack-encore from Symfony.
You can read more about it's capabilities here Webpack Encore Official Documentation.
Now the question is how to embed it to Laravel? It's quite easy, I've just reverse engineered the Symfony's PHP bundle for that and here is the result:
https://github.com/ntpages/laravel-encore
Now you just have to include you're dependency in the page entry and it's all handled automatically.
I think you should load jquery-ui when a condition is met, like:
if (window.loadJQueryUI) {
require('jquery-ui');
}
And you need to initialize loadJQueryUI for the two pages, like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.loadJQueryUI = true;
</script>
I'm trying to install a local copy of bootstrap into a meteor project to make it easier to customise it.
I was using the bootsrap-3 smart package and it was working pretty well, so removed that, created the directory tree and files described in Use Twitter Bootstrap 3 RC1 with Meteor and executed meteor add bootstrap which displayed the text from the summary string, but, no bootstrap is included in the project.
I added bootstrap with
git submodule add git://github.com/twitter/bootstrap.git public/bootstrap
and adjusted the paths appropriately in the packages/bootstrap/package.js file (even tried absolute paths to try and get it to work).
package.js looks like
Package.describe({
summary: "Load locale bootstrap scripts"
});
Package.on_use(function(api) {
api.add_files('../../public/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js', 'client');
});
I'm missing something, but struggling to find it.

You could stick to the standard way of creating packages by just putting Bootstrap 3's css, fonts, and js directories at the top-level of your package directory, and link to them like this in package.js:
api.add_files('css/bootstrap.css', 'client');
api.add_files('js/bootstrap.min.js', 'client');
...
If you care about the icons, add the fonts the same way. Then, create an override css file which loads last, overriding the paths to the icons in the Bootstrap css. An example of this override file is in Meteor's official Bootstrap 2 package, here. Also see the package.js file from the same, here (though I think you could skip using NPM to concatenate the path names).
One easy way to add bootstrap is just to place the files in your client directory, probably at client/lib. That is the simplest way if you are going to maintain and customise the files yourself. You will probably want both the .css and .js from bootstrap.
For a package, I would look at bootstrap3-less. It can be added with meteorite and gives you the less files which you can customise. If that doesn't suit you then you can at least see how the package.js there looks and how the package is organised.
