How to run Inferno JSX on server? - babeljs

I am trying to use Inferno to render on the server. The documentation inferno-server and server-side-rendering does not say show to set-up babel & run the sever.
All I could find is InfernoJS Babel Plugin but noting about running it on Node.
Any help would be appreciated.

Could you explain what you mean by "Running on node"?
Inferno Babel plugin converts the JSX code into a regular JS code, which runs without problems on node (the server uses renderToString). While you are not using browser elements (document and other tools), everything should be fine.
Then you need to make a separate component for the client, which when requested will be given as a bundle along with the html page, and then using hydrate function to "cling" into webpage and bind items.
you can check my repository (although this is for TypeScript): https://github.com/MrFoxPro/inferno-isomorphic-tempalte

What do you lose by ejecting a React app that was created using create-react-app?

I'm interested in using Hot Module Replacement with a newly created React app.
Facebook Incubator's create-react-app uses Webpack 2 which can be configured to support HMR, however in order to do so, one needs to "eject" the create-react-app project.
As the documentation points out, this is a "one way" operation and cannot be reversed.
If I'm to do this, I want to know what I might be giving up. I've been unable to locate any documentation that explains the potential drawbacks of ejecting.
The current configuration allows your project to get updates from create-react-app core team. Once you eject you no longer get this.
It's kind of like pulling in bootstrap css via CDN as opposed to downloading the source code and injecting it directly into your project.
If you want more control over your webpack, there are ways to configure/customize it without ejecting:

Umbraco with Windsor Castle error after adding nuPickers plugin

With an existing Umbraco site running fine we added the nuPickers plugin which does not seem to like Castle. In the browser console we are seeing a lot of 404 / 500 errors being generated for the embedded resources within the plugin. (The plugin is a single DLL with css and js files embedded in it.)
The site continues running fine (back and front ends), except for the plugin.
The Event log is showing: "No component for supporting the service nuPickers.EmbeddedResourceController was found"
We have tried route.ignoreroute in our route config, and also adding a handler in web.config, both unsuccessfully, as we do not think the resource requests should be getting to castle?
Any help or pointers gratefully accepted!
Just in case anyone comes across this ticket, we 'solved' this by
Getting all of the embedded resources, (html, js & css - not the classes)
Physically placing them inside the App_plugins folder in the correct structure (as they were being requested),
Renaming the js and css files (by adding the .nu after the file
extension), and,
Adding the following mime types into the web.config
mimeMap fileExtension=".css.nu" mimeType="text/css"
mimeMap fileExtension=".js.nu" mimeType="application/javascript"
Then, everything seems to work - but there MUST be a better solution, surely?

merge large existing web app into Sailjs site

I'm trying to merge large existing web app into sails.js. so I moved the folders into assets and build a custom route , 'GET /': '/assets/client/launch.html' and get 404 when I point my browser to http://localhost:1337/ as the / is correctly redirected to http://localhost:1337/assets/client/launch.html which produces the 404.
Now the file exists in the folder assets/client (and in .tmp), so I am thinking the Sails router is getting in the way.
I would leave the client (70K lines of JS) that generates all the UI dynamically and sailjs server that provides authentication separate and enable CORS but my customer wants client packaged with server. This type of operation is simple in frameworks like ASP.NET MVC but am wondering if Sails is up to the task.
Well, If everything you tried did not work out. There might be another solution ,
First of all since you are talking about sails app I am assuming other bundle must be sails as well ,
So here is what you do-
Change the port for another app that you want to attach to this.
Second whenever you want to go to page on another app simply redirect the client to another port ie
in html or esp put a href tag with different port.
<a href="localhost:PORT/route_to_file">
</a>
I got it working by placing my app into assets where we need to launch from assets/client/index.html as there would be too many dependencies to change. As I said above could not just add a route as Sails must getting in the way. However as in Chapter 3.2.2 of Sails in Action I generated a static asset npm install sails-generate-static --save. then I redirected to assets/client/index.html. As an aside that book is great and would highly recommend it.

can there be two js files in main dir of mozilla addon? and can they both communicate with each other?

I have created two separate add ons. One for getting input from the user and storing in simple-storage. In the other one the actual add on function. Both work fine. But when i merge these both main add on code in to a single main code they didn't work. So i wonder whether there can be two js files in "main" add on directory and is communication possible between them?I need one of the js in main directory to be able to access the simple-storage of the other js in the same main directory.
I'm really not sure what your overall goal is, please provide an example for a more specific answer. If you're using the Add-on SDK, only code in main.js will be run, but you can use commonJS modules to implement various features and use require to import them into main.js.
Please see the docs for more information on how the Add-on SDK works:

Standalone GWT Deployment

So, this is a pretty trivial thing to accomplish apparently, but for some reason it just will not work for me. I created a VERY SIMPLE GWT app. It uses UIBinder just to display a label and a button, no actual processing or handling takes place. I did this to test deploying the app using strictly JS and html that is not hosted by Eclipse and Jetty or whatever.
I compile my app, run it in eclipse, and it works fine. However, when I try to run the html page directly from the WAR directory, it does not work.
Do I need this running on a webserver for it to work? It is just html and js, so I shouldn't? I've been to the GWT site about deploying, and surfed quite a few forums. They seem to always mention the necessity of a server, but it seems like it should not be necessary?
Since it is a pure JavaScript and HTML it should work properly without server. Checkout this link: Compile and run in Production Mode with Eclipse
In your EntryPoint class, in onModuleLoad() there's a RootPanel.get("someDivId") call somewhere. Make sure your html page (=the host page) contains a div with that id.
Also make sure your host page calls the right java script file. It's easy to forget to edit the host page after you renamed your GWT module (see rename-to in your .gwt.xml), as the generated JavaScript file matches your module name.
This will work locally on all browsers except Chrome for security reasons.
