Mid 2019 is what I read in the README...any updates? We would really like to see a LOB type app.

I absolutely loved your SPA book. I used the concepts in my first web app. I downloaded the ova appliance and have started the tutorial/docs. I'm noticing lots of deprecated warnings doing the git clone and the repo hasn't been updated in a long time.

Are you too busy or is this concept overtaken by other technologies?

Thanks!

Back in 2014/16 we used node v4 and/or v6. Based on the SPA book I was able to build my own web app. Back then we used npmbox to essentially tar up all the node modules after they were completely resolved and installed on an internet connected dev machine and then sneaker net the "box" files over to the disconnected dev machine.

In one fell swoop I would like todo the same thing for hi_score.

I know npmbox is not supported since node v5.

Do you have any suggestions or experience with this?

Thanks!

Hi, I was trying to see what's the deal with the project (sounds interesting indeed), so I did the following:

git clone [email protected]:mmikowski/hi_score.git
npm i
npm run prep-libs

I intentionally cloned it, instead of getting it through npm, as it felt a bit weird that way – cding into node_modules/hi_score and npm installing there etc.

Seems like there's something wrong in prep-libs script. It stays hung after outputting this error:

npm run prep-libs                                                               
                                                                                          
> [email protected] prep-libs /Users/splash/workspace/hi_score                              
> bin/prep-libs.sh                                                                        
                                                                                          
prep-libs: start                                                                          
prep-libs: start layout_variables                                                         
readlink: illegal option -- f                                                             
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...] 

I have no idea about the problem there and I hope I'm doing everything correctly. Here's a recording of terminal on asciinema (Sorry it takes a bit long due to slow connection, error at 1:55):

xhi dev_start
firefox http://localhost:8080/app-ex01.html

fix: comment out 02_fake and add 02,03,04 extensions to
'js/xhi/05_02_css_base.js',
'js/xhi/05_03_css_lb.js',
'js/xhi/05_04_css_shell.js',
'js/xhi/05_css.js',

ex01.08_app.js

Hi Sir Michael

Just a quick note, for the app-ex01 and app-ex02 examples when you run bin/xhi build,dev_start you get an error in the terminal (everything works) and both app pages are blank, this is due to package.json line 682 app_table, looking for a file that is not in the js folder.

package.json -> line 695 "js/ex01-08_app-build.js" not in JS folder ; name in JS folder is ex01.08_app-build.js

package.json -> line 731 "js/ex02-08_app-build.js" not in JS folder ; name in JS folder is ex02.08_app-build.js

as result it generates an empty js/app-ex01-sp.js and js/app-ex02-sp.js once app is bulit.
Changing either the file name in package.json file or renaming the files in the JS folder fixes this.

thanks again.

The command in the quick start yields this error:

$ git clone [email protected]:mmikowski/hi_score.git
Cloning into 'hi_score'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

But I was able to clone with https:

$ git clone https://github.com/mmikowski/hi_score.git
Cloning into 'hi_score'...
remote: Counting objects: 1412, done.
remote: Total 1412 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 1412

Thanks for your work on this!

Hello

I am attempting to setup hi_score and I am getting the err below; am I missing something.
nodejs version v6.11.1; npm version: 3.10.10

command: bin/xhi install,setup

output:
/home/leo/test/heytest/bin/xhi:25

Just checked out hi_score / master, did
$ bin/xhi build,dev_start

I have a failed test in 00_xhi_libs.js

function getTzCode ( test_obj ) {
  var tz_code = utilObj._getTzCode_();
  test_obj.expect( __1 );

  // eslint-disable-next-line no-useless-escape
  test_obj.ok( tz_code.match( /^[A-Za-z0-9+\- ]+$/ ),
    'Code fails to match regex: ' + tz_code
  );
  test_obj.done();
}

tz_code is "GMT+01:00" and is no match for the regexp (due to the colon)

Environment :
Ubuntu 19.10
node v12.16.1
npm 6.13.4
Locale fr_FR.UTF-8

Thank you for the great work ; really looking forward to reading SPA 2nd ed.!

Installing pandoc was not enough, apparently I need to install some perl modules too. However, I do not know where to find them! I tried MacPorts but no dice:

$ sudo port install libgetopt-simple-perl libfile-slurp-perl
Error: Port libgetopt-simple-perl not found
$ sudo port install p5-libgetopt-simple p5-libfile-slurp
Error: Port p5-libgetopt-simple not found
