Is there any package like CodeSleeve/asset-pipeline for laravel 4 where you have:
-concatenation
-minification
-add resources at runtime from Views/Controllers
-adding on a file by file basis
Asset-pipeline is great for the most part, but the only way to add specific files is using a manifest.
You can listen for the asset.pipeline.boot event and add whole folders for the pipeline to auto load but this is not what i need.
Event::listen('asset.pipeline.boot', function($pipeline) {
$config = $pipeline->getConfig();
$config['paths'][] = 'some/special/javascripts'; // this must be a folder
$config['paths'][] = 'some/special/stylesheets'; // this must be a folder
I've also seen a previous topic very similar to this one Laravel replacement for Asset::add but they don't have concatenation of resources, are no longer maintained or have external dependencies like node/ruby and can't be used on runtime anyway.

I am using gradle 6.8 and MarkLogic version is 10.0-5.2,
My XQuery code is in directory \ml-gradle\src\main\common. When I run the command mlLoadModules to load XQuery into the modules database it loads with default URI /common/test.xqy.
I want to add some prefix to the URIs e.g. /rsc/common/test.xqy. How can I achieve that?
Note: I don't want to create an extra folder in my source for prefix "rsc".
It's not supported, though you could write a custom Gradle task to change the URI to whatever you like.
Why do you not want to create an "rsc" folder above "common"? I think other developers would find it much more intuitive that "rsc/common/test.xqy" becomes "/rsc/common/test.xqy" when loaded, rather than "common/test.xqy" becomes "rsc/common/test.xqy", which begs the question - where is "rsc" coming from? And then that developer would need to understand what property / custom code is adding that "rsc".
I'm starting a new project and I want to reuse some parts of it, mainly the stuff related to user registration and authentication. I can copy and paste all of the code but I want to use again. I know there is Package Development in Laravel but it's not easy and feel like there must be a better way.
Some days ago I find a pingpong/modules but I don't know about it. It's third party plugin and don't trust it.
Use this plugin is true? Is this plugin is updated later? What's different between Embedd Package Laravel and pingpong/modules? or Do you have any suggestion?
Pingpong modules seems to be build for the earlier version of Laravel 5 and in how far they are compatible with future versions (and maybe current 5.1.11) I cannot say.
There isn't much activity going look the commit history for 2.1, as of today(18 dec) the last commit was over 6 months ago.
But is the package specifically designed for Laravel? It seems to. They offer a bunch of features which are useful for development. The only unfortunate thing is you get a LOT of code within your own git environment (is it a good thing? I don't know, what do you prefer).
Personally I don't like it in this way for development, I prefer them in the vendor/ folder else it's a pain to update it to newer a version.
Since Laravel 5 Taylor wanted to make package development not too specific anymore, like in Laravel 4. The only thing what you can do (but not have to) to make your package using Laravel is using the ServiceProvider's. The ServiceProvider is the bootstrap into the Laravel application.
If you want to extend or implement your own functionality, fork the repo and build it yourself on top off it and host it (through github/packagist or a private repo using Satis).
Pingpong modules (2.1) is build for Laravel 5 and they you described (Embedded Laravel Package) is more for Laravel 4, because the more specific way you have to write the package.
But, there is alternative?
Whenever you want a more active project/package for development you should tryout Asgard CMS. They are pretty modular and I thought I read somewhere it was inspired by this package (totally not sure).
How about building yourself?
Of course you can build your own packages to achieve the same result. And create it as modular as you want. I created a lot modules for my company and we can create pretty easy a entire system and using and extending/overriding modules. Even small parts from a module can be overwritten to project specific needs.
We have chosen for almost the same structure as the app/ folder which Laravel projects, in case of CMS/API modules.
A packages look like:
tests/
src/
Acme/
Controllers/
Requests/
Models/
Module.php // contains some specifc calculations for example
ModelServiceProvider.php
composer.json
In the composer.json file we autoload: "Module\\": "src/"
And in the config/app.php we register the ModuleServiceProvider. Now we injected the functionality into Laravel's container and can we use it through the app() instance.
But whenever we only want to use the Models with in another project or standalone, we can still use it because the autoloaded features from composer and the way we build the package. Possible to use:
<?php
require_once __DIR__ .'/vendor/autoload.php';
use Module\Models\Module;
$module = new Module;
Edit
The package structure we like to use, to have a section for API or CMS stuff:
tests/
src/
Cms/
Controllers/
Requests/
Api/
Controllers/
Transformers/
Models/
Module.php // contains some specifc calculations for example
Providers/
CmsServiceProvider.php // includes `ModuleServiceProvider`
ApiServiceProvider.php // includes `ModuleServiceProvider`
ModuleServiceProvider.php // contains global stuff like commands etc.
composer.json
and instead of registering ModuleServiceProvider in config/app.php we register the ApiServiceProvider or CmsServiceProvider depending on the wishes of the client/project.
To reuse your classes simply use php namespaces or use to call back your clases.
Using the namespace
namespace Acme\Tools;
class Foo
{
echo "me";
}
You can the call class foo
<?php
$foo = new \Acme\Tools\Foo();
Using Use.
You can also use use Statement as below :
<?php
use \Acme\Tools\Foo;
$foo = new Foo();
Use Middleware
You should also use middleware to filter who should use the scripts ie the Auth middle-ware , which will help you in filtering users , registrations , logins READ MORE http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/middleware
Use Eloquent
Use ORM to create REST apis to your models , its very simple , always let your controller class extend eloquent use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; ie as :
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; .Read More http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/eloquent
Lastly Use Laravel In built Helper functions
There are numerous Laravel In built Helper functions , to use simply go over the documentation to help you
I've used pingpong modules. It a pretty cool package. I'm not sure if it's updated much. But it's a very simple package. The only thing it does is create a folder with almost the same structure as in the app folder + views. But these are modules. You can reuse it if you program them right. The same goes for the other answer from jimmy if you have a good structure you can reuse anything.
EDIT
In the image below you'll see an example of pingpong modules. As you it's pretty much the same structure as the app folder. Maybe more the root folder. Normally it runs start.php and you have a routes.php file int he Http folder. I customized mine a bit. And load the frontend and backend routes within the RouteServiceProvider. This is build with laravel 5.1.
I am looking at zfmodules to get a datatable module, and have found the perfect one :
https://github.com/dudapiotr/ZfTable
..however there is very little explanation of how to configure it into an existing project, change the data source etc.
Does anyone have any experience of this module, or is successfully using it in production?
The thing that i understood from Question is " You want to inject this
Module in your current Application ", well i have checked the link [https://github.com/dudapiotr/ZfTable][1] and the module seems perfect to inject to your Application. *The only thing which seems unfitting is the 'data' folder, you should compile
'customer.sql' onto your database, and then remove the folder 'data', since it does not matches to the framework structure
**Try these steps **
*
create your sql database exactly as mentioned in customer.sql
copy this module to your application, with other residing modules (if any).
Add the module name to application.config.php in Application/config/autoload directory ( since you are adding module manually, you must add your module name there by yourself)
And last, Routing configuration of your module in Application/config/module.config.php
if you need any help in routing of step 4, go here [Zend framework not able to route the translated child routes

I am using the Laravel 4 framework, and I am trying to set up the Facebook authentication system. I have an authentication system I had set up on another site (not using a framework) that used a config.php and process_facebook.php file. I am trying to implement this config.php file into my views. So far, I am including the files in a folder called "includes", within my "app" folder. I am trying to use the following code to implement it:
$app = app();
include($app['path.app'].'/includes/config.php');
My question is, where in the view do I put this code? Do I have to use php tags? (I am using the blad functionality). Your help is appreciated.
Laravel is an MVC framework, the purpose is to organise your code and clean your views. So this shouldn't be in your view.
I think the best way should be :
Create a facebook.php file in the config folder wich contains all your facebook configuration (read http://laravel.com/docs/configuration)
Create a folder named services, helpers or includes (as you want) and put process_facebook.php inside (I bet it contains the methods to deal with facebook API).
Add two lines of configuration to include this new folder
Like that :
// composer.json
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
[...]
"app/services",
]
},
// start/global.php
ClassLoader::addDirectories(array(
[...]
app_path().'/services',
));
Then, you can use your facebook class or methods all over your app.
The route you are taking to include configuration files is not recommended, but it is possible. Please see information about Laravel Configuration Files.
You should be able to use the following in your view:
<?php include(app_path().'/includes/config.php'); ?>
As it is a configuration file, it would be better to use require() instead of include().
In addition, it would also be better to include the file in the necessary controller(s).
I have created my custom config file to store information about site such as if it is online or offline like-vice.
For that I have created new file in config folder and stores default values in global $config[] array with my own index.
I want to update these config data dynamically with admins control eg. he can select to put site in offline mode.
For that I have used function
$this->config->set_item('config_array_index','value_to_set');
but, I don't know why it is not working for me ?
I am not able to see any update in my config file. Also I am autoloading my config file.
Am I missing something?
Setting a config item only applies to the current session - it does not overwrite your actually codeigniter files.
If you want to permanetly take a site offline, your'll need some sort of persistant storage, such as a value in a database that is checked/updated as needed
you can create an empty config file, within your config directory , and then append your data to it using a functionality like fwrite ( you can check for some other CI function to use ).
and add it to your autoload file .
