Unable to access Bower in Laravel app directory - laravel

I have recently started using Bower (or trying to!) to manage the packages within my Laravel 4 application. The two main ones being Bootstrap and jQuery.
My footer, using Blade is:
{{HTML::script('bower_components/jquery/jquery.min.js')}}
{{HTML::script('packages/bootstrap/css/js/bootstrap.min.js')}}
The link it displays is http://localhost:8888/bower_components/jquery/jquery.min.js, which is correct.
The 'packages' folder is accessible, but it can't find a thing inside the bower_components directory. I have set the permissions to -R 755 on the bower_components directory but it still isn't accessible.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Looks like it is not downloading those packages.
I don't like this bower_components folder it defaults to. This is how I'm using it:
I have a .bowerrc file which tells bower where the assets should lie:
{
"directory": "public/assets/vendor"
}
I ran
bower init
And every time I bower install something:
bower install jquery -S
It downloads, installs and adds them in the bower.json file:
{
"name": "MySite",
"dependencies": {
"jquery": "~2.0.3",
"bootstrap": "~3.0.3",
"font-awesome": "~4.0.3",
"datatables": "~1.9.4"
}
}
I make sure files were downloaded and installed:
ls -la public/assets/vendor
Then I just have to create my routes using:
{{ HTML::style('assets/vendor/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css') }}
{{ HTML::style('assets/vendor/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css') }}
{{ HTML::script('assets/vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js') }}
I don't really mind much about permissions, because files must just be readable by web server and they usually are.

I created a .bowerrc folder within the root directory and added the following code:
{
"directory": "public/bower_components"
}
I then created a bower.json using the bower init command.
Then I installed both packages, jQuery and Bootstrap and referenced them as such:
{{HTML::script('bower_components/jquery/jquery.min.js')}}
{{HTML::script('bower_components/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js')}}

Laravel vite build command do not copy public dir

I just installed a fresh copy of Laravel 9 and added these lines to vite.config.js
build: {
outDir: '.dist',
}
In Laravel we already have a public folder containing robots.txt and favicon.ico. As per documentation and answers here like this one, I was expecting that "npm run build" will copy the contents from this directory to .dist directory, but this does not seem to happen. I can see only manifest file and assets folder containing js and CSS and no robots.txt and no faviocn.ico. Am I doing something wrong??

vue init nativescript-vue/vue-cli doesn't generate src folder

I am trying to learn NativeScript-VUE and following this tutorial to connect SQLite to NativeScript.
Following commands were issued.
vue init nativescript-vue/vue-cli-template vuex-project
cd vuex-project
npm install
Everything ended up without any errors.
But vuex-project directory structure doesn't have an "src" folder to go ahead with the tutorial. Should we have to manually create them?
Edit:
The tutorial I am following is https://www.nativescript.org/blog/data-management-with-sqlite-and-vuex-in-a-nativescript-vue-app
I do not know which tutorial you are following. But the command that you are using,that does not create a src folder. You can find App.vue file inside vuex-project/app/components.
You can also have a look tsconfig.json that will show you
"paths": {
"#/*": [
"app/*"
]
},
The tutorial you are referring to, is over a year older. It should have been built on the earlier version of CLI template, the latest version uses app instead of src.

Wiredep says Bower packages are not installed

I have the following wiredep task:
gulp.task('wiredep', function () {
log('Installing Bower Components in HTML files...)
return gulp
.src('./Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml')
.pipe(wiredep({
bowerJson: require('./bower.json'),
directory: './bower_components/',
ignorePath: '../..'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('.'));
});
The goal is to convert the
<!-- bower:js -->
<!-- endbower -->
to actual JavaScripts as specified in my bower.json:
{
"name": "ASP.NET",
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
"bootstrap": "3.0.0",
"hammer.js": "2.0.4",
"jquery": "2.1.4",
"knockout": "3.3.0"
}
}
When I run the task I get the following output:
[15:53:06] Starting 'wiredep'...
[15:53:06] Installing Bower Components in HTML files...
events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: Error: bootstrap is not installed. Try running `bower install` or remove the component from your bower.json file
I do see the packages in wwwroot/lib, so I think Bower is actually installing it.
Can anyone help me solve this?
this part of your script:
directory: './bower_components/',
is using the wrong path /bower_components/ is the default install folder for bower components (actually in beta 4 VS 2015 RC it used to put files there) but in the latest VS project template there is a file .bowerrc in the root of the app that tells it to put bower components under wwwroot/lib instead of the default folder name. so directory needs to be ./wwwroot/lib/' I think.

Composer autoload path not working

I have this script that use composer to setup the project but for some reasons does not work
<?php
include_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use \LeagueWrap\Api;
$api = new Api($key = "somekey"); // Load up the API
$summoner = $api->summoner(); // Load up the summoner request object.
$bakasan = $summoner->info('bakasan'); // Get the information about this user.
$bakasan = $summoner->info(74602); // same thing as above, just to show that an id will wo$
echo $bakasan->summonerLevel; // 30
echo $bakasan->id; // 74602
echo $bakasan->name; // "bakasan"
echo $bakasan->profileIconId; // 24
echo $bakasan->revisionDate; // 1387391523000
echo $bakasan->revisionDateStr; // "12/18/2013 06:32 PM UTC"
?>
you can check here http://70.37.98.151/leaguewrap/tests/test2.php the error I get

and here folders tree
Your script cannot find the autoload file.
Including that file is like any other file: The path must be right, and which path is right depends on whether you are using an absolute path (unusual) or a relative path. Currently you are using a relative path.
Assuming your script is somewhere inside that src folder you showed, the path to the vendor/autoload.php must at least contain one ../ to go one directory level up - maybe more.
Seems like its the problem with your Composer Installation.
Follow these steps -
First make sure you have the Composer.json file created with all the dependencies.
Let's say you are creating a project, and you need a library that does logging. You decide to use monolog. In order to add it to your project, all you need to do is create a composer.json file which describes the project's dependencies.
{
"require": {
"monolog/monolog": "1.2.*"
}
}
Installation - Linux / Unix / OSX
Downloading the Composer Executable
There are in short, two ways to install Composer. Locally as part of your project, or globally as a system wide executable.
Locally
Installing Composer locally is a matter of just running the installer in your project directory:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Note: If the above fails for some reason, you can download the installer with php instead:
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
The installer will just check a few PHP settings and then download composer.phar to your working directory. This file is the Composer binary. It is a PHAR (PHP archive), which is an archive format for PHP which can be run on the command line, amongst other things.
You can install Composer to a specific directory by using the --install-dir option and providing a target directory (it can be an absolute or relative path):
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=bin
Globally
You can place this file anywhere you wish. If you put it in your PATH, you can access it globally. On unixy systems you can even make it executable and invoke it without php.
You can run these commands to easily access composer from anywhere on your system:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Note: If the above fails due to permissions, run the mv line again with sudo.
Note: In OSX Yosemite the /usr directory does not exist by default. If you receive the error "/usr/local/bin/composer: No such file or directory" then you must create /usr/local/bin/ manually before proceeding.
Then, just run composer in order to run Composer instead of php composer.phar.
Installation - Windows
Using the Installer
This is the easiest way to get Composer set up on your machine.
Download and run Composer-Setup.exe, it will install the latest Composer version and set up your PATH so that you can just call composer from any directory in your command line.
Note: Close your current terminal. Test usage with a new terminal: That is
important since the PATH only gets loaded when the terminal starts.
Manual Installation#
Change to a directory on your PATH and run the install snippet to download composer.phar:
C:\Users\username>cd C:\bin
C:\bin>php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
Note: If the above fails due to readfile, use the http url or enable php_openssl.dll in php.ini
Create a new composer.bat file alongside composer.phar:
C:\bin>echo #php "%~dp0composer.phar" %*>composer.bat
Close your current terminal. Test usage with a new terminal:
C:\Users\username>composer -V
Composer version 27d8904
Using Composer
We will now use Composer to install the dependencies of the project.
To resolve and download dependencies, run the install command:
php composer.phar install
If you did a global install and do not have the phar in that directory run this instead:
composer install
Following the example above, this will download monolog into
the vendor/monolog/monolog directory.
Autoloading
Besides downloading the library, Composer also prepares an autoload file that's capable of autoloading all of the classes in any of the libraries that it downloads. To use it, just add the following line to your code's bootstrap process:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
You can also try with below require form -
defined('__ROOT__') or define('__ROOT__', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));
require_once implode(
    DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, array(__ROOT__, 'vendor', 'autoload.php')
);

Created package in Laravel workbench, but how to transfer to vendor folder?

Let's say my package in Laravel is test/test.
I created the package in the workbench and it's been working great following Jason Lewis' tutorial. Now I want to move the package out of
the workbench to the vendor directory. This is where all tutorials fall short, even the laravel docs. I didn't want to use git to move the files, so I simply copied the test/test package from the workbench to the vendor directory (and then deleted it from the workbench). I didn't copy the test/test/vendor folder from the workbench (or any other files I noticed in the .gitignore file). I then ran composer install from my new vendor/test/test directory. I then did a composer dump-autoload from the laravel root directory.
Now when I run my application I get an error that I did not get when the package was in the workbench:
Class 'Test\Test\TestServiceProvider' not found
(this is coming from \bootstrap\compiled.php on line 4121)
I also did a php artisan dump-autoload from the laravel root and I get this same error.
Any ideas? Or can someone lead me to a tutorial that takes the package development all the way to it's final resting point in the vendor directory?
Got it working.
I added:
"psr-0": {
"Test\\Test": "vendor/test/test/src/"
}
to the autoload section in composer.json in the laravel root directory so it looks like this:
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"app/commands",
"app/controllers",
"app/models",
"app/database/migrations",
"app/database/seeds",
"app/tests/TestCase.php"
],
"psr-0": {
"Test\\Test": "vendor/test/test/src/"
}
},
If I decide to put the package on Packagist later then I might remove this from the autoload and just keep the package referenced in the "require" part of my composer.json. We'll see what happens when I get that far!
I think you can install your packages from your hard drive as from local repository like this:
"repositories": [
{
"type":"vcs",
"url":"/path/to/repo/here"
}
],
"require":{
"me/myrepo":"dev-master"
}
