I have an Angular App that uses grunt to build and minify. I have imported one library in index.html like this: <script type="text/javascript"> java script code </script> between the header tag. It is supposed to make the methods of that library globally available though my application. The problem is that when I run grunt to build my application, grunt doesn't recognize the method of that library. What should I do to fix it?
The error I get in grunt is: 'the method I used' is undefined.
Use /* global name of the method*/ at the top of the file where grunt gives you undefined error. it will make that method globally available. so you don't need to be worried about it.

I have a single .js file that has a lot of export const functions in there. Unfortunately, that file needs to be loaded by the back-end and added directly via an <src> tag. This means I need to transpile it and make it work before importing it. So, there's no yarn add to put it through the transpilation process of my project and, of course, these functions will have to be global.
How can I make this work? I've tried to just simply run it through the Babel REPL but I'm getting Uncaught ReferenceError: exports is not defined no matter the configuration.
How to solve this?
I am using the line canvg('canvas', svg); in my code. This means I need canvg.js.
I have included canvg.js in my html header. However it gives me an error that "require is undefined".
For those that don't know the first two lines of canvg.js are:
var RGBColor = require('rgbcolor'),
StackBlur = require('stackblur-canvas');
This first showed up in my console as an error. This wasn't really a problem as the code still worked.
Now that I am on to testing though the errors cause the tests not to run. This is an issue.
error loading file: /test/tests/Dependencies/canvg.js:4: Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
I went to https://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.3.6/comments/require.js and copied and pasted the code to a file called require236.js and saved it in my project.
I then went to my main.html an added my <script src="require236.js"></script>
right before canvg is loaded.
I got these errors in the console:
Uncaught Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module: function(){return f}

And my tests do not run with that file as a dependency.
https://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#mismatch says
To avoid the error:
Be sure to load all scripts that call define() via the RequireJS API.
Do not manually code script tags in HTML to load scripts that have
define() calls in them.
If you manually code an HTML script tag, be sure it only includes named
modules, and that an anonymous module that will have the same name as one
of the modules in that file is not loaded.
If the problem is the use of loader plugins or anonymous
modules but the RequireJS optimizer is not used for file bundling, use
the RequireJS optimizer.
If the problem is the var define lint approach, use /*global define */ (no
space before "global") comment style instead.
But I honestly do not understand how they expect to include it and where. Please use simple English words (or just show a code sample) if you understand it enough to explain it.
I am running from PhpStorm. I am testing with jsTestDriver. I must be declaring it wrong somehow but I have no clue how and why require.js is giving me such issues.
Simple answer is that the file you have included is not supposed to be run in browser, as it uses the CommonJS syntax that can only be used in server-side code run by node.js.
You have to make sure to include the browser version of your library that doesn't have any require() calls, like:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/canvg/dist/browser/canvg.min.js"></script>
see https://github.com/canvg/canvg#usage-on-the-browser
I'm unable to use a node.js module on my website with broweserify. The example only shows how to run a javascript file that is separate from the .html file, not how to use the node.js module within the .html file. Seems like a trivial problem, but I'm unable to make it work.
Here's what I've done:
Initialized node.js & installed a package, npm i webtorrent-health as an example
Created require_stuff.js which consists of a single line: var WebtorrentHealth = require('webtorrent-health')
Run browserify: browserify require_stuff.js > bundle.js
Include package in my html document, e.g. <script src='bundle.js'></script>
Use the package somewhere in my document, e.g. like this: <script>webtorrentHealth(magnet).then(foobazbar())</script>
Despite bundle.js executing and seemingly defining webtorrentHealth, the script within the .html document fails with WebtorrentHealth is not defined. What am I doing wrong? How do I make it work? Thank you!
You're very close to what you want to achieve. In fact, your code bundle.js is inaccessible from outside (in your case the browser) due to browserify, but you can expose your module by writing at the end of your file require_stuff.js:
window.WebtorrentHealth = WebtorrentHealth;
Now you can use WebtorrentHealth in your document.
Forgive me if this is something simple as my research has come up empty in regards to this specific issue. I am using Bootstrap the most recent release. I have noticed that there is a file that is new from previous releases called npm.js. I am hosting all the Bootstrap files locally on my hosted web server. I call the file like all the others in the head to the full path to the file. In the console I have this error.
npm.js:2 Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
at npm.js:2
Which is referring to this line.
require('../../js/transition.js')`
Which is from this npm.js file that is in the newest Bootstrap
// This file is autogenerated via the `commonjs` Grunt task. You can require() this file in a CommonJS environment.
require('../../js/transition.js')
require('../../js/alert.js')
require('../../js/button.js')
require('../../js/carousel.js')
require('../../js/collapse.js')
require('../../js/dropdown.js')
require('../../js/modal.js')
require('../../js/tooltip.js')
require('../../js/popover.js')
require('../../js/scrollspy.js')
require('../../js/tab.js')
require('../../js/affix.js')
I am unfamilar with this so I am not sure why I am getting this error but, how can I surpress this error and fix this issue? Do I even need this file? From what I understand if I am using modals or tooltips etc I need this. Is this correct?
You will need to download/config the missing libraries or requires. I am not sure which libraries you are using.
You can add the missing libraries to your package.json. Then call for npm install.
I want to load a local version of node-opcua with 'require' inside a HTML file, but it does not really work. The code snippet is the following:
<script type="text/javascript" src="path_to_require.js"></script>
<script>
var opcua = require(["path_to_node-opcua"]); <!-- Yes, the path is correct >
var client = new opcua.OPCUAClient();
...
When I execute the script I get the following error in the console:
Uncaught TypeError: opcua.OPCUAClient is not a constructor
Hence, var opcua is loaded correctly, but OPCUACluent is not, although the class is declared in a file that is present in the node-opcua folder called opcua_client.js under node-opcua\lib\client\
Sources:
The 'require' script from http://requirejs.org/docs/download.html#requirejs.
The node-opcua folder with the console command
npm install node-opcua.
node-opcua is not intended to run inside a browser as it relies on nodejs specific features such as filesystem access, crypto and so on.
You need to use browserify if you want to use that module in client. You will also need to look at how to use browserify with file system access (it can be done if paths are known ahead of time).
