nw-global-nav-asset-shim
Serve app-site
assets from your node app.
This is meant to simplify development of node apps outside of
dev-vagrant
only. This module should not be used in production.
installation
npm i --save nw-global-nav-asset-shim
usage
var app = require(express)()
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
var shim = require('nw-global-nav-asset-shim')
shim({ appsitePath: '/my/dev/app-site' }, app)
}
Shims the following asset routes:
/css
/js
/global-styles
reasoning
When consuming global-nav
(via something like nw-nerdlayoutjs
) you get a
payload used as the layout for your app. Parts of the layout reference global
assets that make up things like the global header and footer styles and js. If
you want to run your node app outside of dev-vagrant
you'll need to serve
these assets yourself so something like localhost:3000/css/bundle.min.css
resolves correctly. These assets live in your app-site
clone, so this shim
just serves from your local clone at the expected routes (see above).
