Laravel + Angular2-seed integration - laravel

I am trying to integrate angular-seed into an empty laravel application.
It seems that, by default, angular-seed looks for node_modules in the root level.
I have tried modifying some parameters in the config files, but there is always something that ends up breaking.
Does anybody have experience solving this?
Thank you

Here is a repo for a with angular2 + laravel, you should be able to compare files and find the right configuration

Api-Platform 3: DataTransformerInterface Issue

I am learning to create DTO and DataTransformerInterface to send specific data in my response.
The issue is that the file "DataTransformerInterface" is missing.
When I checked the "Api-Platform" folder, the Core folder is missing and when I verified on the git repository, the core folder is not available there.
I have searched through vendor and the file could not be found.
Did anybody run into this problem and manage to solve it ?
There is no more DataTransformerInterface in API-Platform 3.
You should implement your logic inside a stateProvider or a stateProcessor instead.
Look at this.

Laravel configuration usage for different servers in pure php file

I am new in Laravel and want to know such problem
I am running an web application on several server using Laravel.
But I have encountered with an issue.
When there is modification for the project, I need to sync with git on several servers.
But it has different settings for each server (eg: DB name, DB password...)
I have set it manually because I couldn't use .env or configuration file since the file is just pure php file.
The issue I want to solve is how can I get Laravel configuration data from pure PHP file(not controller or whatever).
It will be thankful if someone teach me solution.
You asked:
how can I get Laravel configuration data from pure PHP file
The answer would be this:
You just make some file in config/ folder of laravel app (or use the existing file like config/app.php)
You make an array of your key value pairs
<?php
return [
'some_key' => 'some_value',
...
and you simply call it with this code where ever you need it:
config('config_file.key');
for example
config('app.name');
would give you Laravel by default.

How does your workflow looks like with react.js along with backend?

I am developing a simple CRM app using Laravel 5.2 and ReactJS. Previously I was using them independently, but now I want to try to combine them together so Laravel will be my API and front-end will be all in ReactJS.
As far as I know when my app is ready to go live I will serve my master view which includes root div, bundle.js etc.
When it comes to development part I am a little confused. I really love react hot reload, but for now I had to do a little walk around to make this works.
I run two servers side by side. Webpack-dev-server and homestead, so I am able to do calls to my API. But I also have to have additional index.html for webpack-dev-server. When i change something in my index.blade.php view I also need to change this in this index.html and this is a little bit of pain.
Is there any cool trick that I can apply to improve my workflow? If there is any example please provide me a link, because I wasn't able to find one. There are many small todo apps that doesn't really solve my problem.
PS. Currently I am using this approach https://github.com/sexyoung/laravel-react-webpack
#UPDATE
Well I think I have found an acceptable solution. I will stick with webpack server configuration that I have provided in my question (it is really great cause you can use hot reload + you api calls are redirected to backend port, so instead of localhost:8080/api/user... you call /api/user/1), but I have also developed a simple elixir extension that compiles php to simple static HTML page which solves the problem of editing two index files (we all know programmers are lazy).
var php2html = require("gulp-php2html");
var gulp = require("gulp");
var rename = require("gulp-rename");
var Task = elixir.Task;
elixir.extend("php2html", function (message) {
new Task("php2html", function () {
return gulp.src("./resources/views/index.blade.php")
.pipe(php2html())
.pipe(rename('index.html'))
.pipe(gulp.dest("./"));
})
.watch("resources/views/index.blade.php");
});
elixir(function (mix) {
mix.sass('app.scss');
mix.php2html();
});
So at the moment I have two index files:
index.blade.php in resources/views which is resolved by the router on production
index.html in root of my application folder which is used by webpack-dev-server for development
and of course now these files are sync cause of gulp watch :)
If there is any better approach let me know guys.
I have usually solved this problem (duplicated index.html/php file) using this webpack plugin: https://github.com/ampedandwired/html-webpack-plugin
The idea is the opposite of yours I think. Instead of compiling your php files into static html, you can use the HtmlWebpack plugin to output a index.tmpl.php file (or whatever extension you need) using the filename configuration option. Normally I set that path to be the templates folder of my application server.
I believe this approach is generally easier than doing the other way round.
Using this plugin has other benefits, such as automatic bundle script tags injection depending on your Webpack output config, and automatic cache-bursting file hash added to the script tag urls.

CodeIgniter routing issues with subdirectories

I am working on a web app that is located in a child folder of a folder in my htdocs. Like this:
http://localhost/folder/another_folder/index.php
I can force routing to my controllers by getting:
http://localhost/folder/another_folder/index.php/controller
But I cannot get my routes to behave as expected:
$route['auth/login/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'auth/login/$1/$2';
I also tried:
$route['auth/login/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'folder/another_folder/auth/login/$1/$2';
$route['another_folder/login(:any)/(:any)'] = 'auth/login/$1/$2';
And various other permutations. In all cases I get CI 404s or standard 404s. I need a solution that is portable, so when I publish this in the test server where it'll be at on level of subdirectory, and when I publish to production where it'll be root I only need to change one (or fewer!) lines of code. Thanks for your insight!
Configuring base_url in config.php seems to be the trick for this!

Codeigniter App on EC2 - Helpers not loading

I recently just started to migrate over a CI application to Amazon's EC2 service. To test I set up a micro instance of ubuntu and a LAMP stack. PHP, MySQL, HTTPD are all working beautifully. The one issue i'm having now is that when I run my application I receive an error saying that my helpers won't load. The helpers in particular that aren't loading are the ones in subdirectories in the helpers directory ie: /var/www/system/application/helpers/subdirectory/foo_helper.php
The helpers are being autoloaded and in my autoload.php config file they are written like:
$autoload['helper'] = array('subdirectory/foo', 'foo2',...);
Has anyone run into this issue, or have any pointers on where I could go look in my configuration to resolve this?
Thanks for the help!
I'd try debugging the helper function of the Loader class, in particular these lines :
system/libraries/Loader.php
elseif (file_exists(APPPATH.'helpers/'.$helper.EXT))
{
include_once(APPPATH.'helpers/'.$helper.EXT);
}
This is the code that will be hit when including application helpers. Check what path CodeIgniter is trying to include. Double check that the path exists - everyone makes typos now and again ;-)
I think the issue is that when I moved from Windows to Linux I forgot to take into account that linux is case-sensitive. So now I need to go through and rename my files and folders.
But this still doesn't solve the issue where it seems like the page is being cached and I'm not able to refresh and see my changes. Is there any way to force the page to grab a fresh copy from the server on every refresh?
