I have already worked using Sails.js. But in that project we used it simply as an API. We had backbone on a client side.
In the new application I am planning to use Sails from bottom to top, and I have some things I do not fully comprehend.
I have views that use templates (EJS). In my controller I can call a view and pass it a model to render. That I understand. What I am dont fully understand is where do I put javascript files for a client in this scenario?
For example, lets assume that I have a view that has a input box and a button. I would want to have some javascript that controls that button and input (validation or whatever). Lets assume I put that code for input box and button in a validation.js:
1. In what location do I put that file? Assets?
2. How do I include that file to be sent to client for execution? Do I include it in a template.ejs using normal < script > tags?
All the client assets should be placed into the assets folder.
All the includes are automatically binded by Grunt (when lifting the server) into the layout.ejs file, if you've put your css files into the assets/styles folder and your js files into the assets/js folder.

I want to add a button to the system.header/left, which I already did. And when I click that button, I want a file picker popup to choose my CSV.
From the CSV content, I want to create space and pages.
I've browsed through the documents and tutorials, but I can't find anything alike.
Could you point a direction or steps for me? At least, point me to something relevant?.
Here's a short overview:
Your button will trigger a JavaScript.
That javaScript will open a dialog window containing the form elements allowing the file upload
The target of that form will be either a servlet or rest-endpoint
inside your plugin. Let's assume it's a servlet.
The servlet will
take the submitted file, split it using the defined separator and
create the page structure using the confluence API calls.
And forward to the start page of your new Space.
I'd suggest that you start with the servlet.
Provide a couple of lines of test data, to check if your code creates the page structure as expected.
Once this works, add the file handling part (from a dedicated html) and pass the data to your existing function.
Now, you have the backend and the frontend, so rendering the dialog when your button is clicked, is pretty straight forward.
Make sure to display the button only if the current user has the right to create a space.

I made a custom html file for my Unity web project. Though after building my project, it opens the default pre-made one. Is there a way to make Unity open my own html file instead of the default one?
You're looking for the Web Player Templates manual page.
In your Assets folder, create a folder named WebPlayerTemplates, and put your template in there. You'll need an HTML file. To help make this slightly easier, Unity will look in that HTML for certain tokens that it can replace with data from the project.
For example, one such tag is %UNITY_WEB_PATH%, which will be replaced with the path to your built project file.
Some tags include:
UNITY_WEB_NAME Name of the webplayer.
UNITY_WIDTH UNITY_HEIGHT Onscreen width and height of the player in
pixels.
UNITY_WEB_PATH Local path to the webplayer file.
UNITY_UNITYOBJECT_URL In the usual case where the page will download
UnityObject2.js from the Unity’s website (ie, the Offline Deployment
option is disabled), this tag will provide the download URL.
UNITY_UNITYOBJECT_DEPENDENCIES The UnityObject2.js have dependencies
and this tag will be replaced with the needed dependencies for it to
work properly.
In every deployment I've seen, the WebPlayer plugin is is launched via JavaScript, by instantiating a UnityObject2 and calling its initPlugin method:
var u = new UnityObject2();
u.initPlugin(jQuery("#unityPlayer")[0], "Example.unity3d");
The above assumes that you have a div with id #unityPlayer, and that Example.unity3d is a valid path to your Unity build file.
In practice, though, I recommend working from Unity's generated HTML files; they include some failsafes for cases where the WebPlayer plugin isn't installed or fails to load. The manual page linked above also has HTML source examples which include some of those special tags.
UnityObject2 does have some advanced features, which are also documented in the manual. If your game needs to communicate with the outer web page, that is also possible.
If an webapp I am running did a GET on a javascript file but I wanted to intercept that GET and provide a different javascript file could I do that?
What would be the easiest method?
To give a frame of a reference I am writing a meteor application and the server database got torched. My only hope seems to be to take a cached version of the application.js and inject it because I believe mostly everything can be rebuilt from that.
You can edit the existing JavaScript code.
Not sure how to replace the JavaScript file.
Press F12 it bring the developer tools at bottom of your page .
Go to resource and select your JavaScript file
It will open inside editor(right side) there you can modify your script.
I have a GWT application, which needs to be configured before it can be used by clients.
I want to show some "perform initial configuration" page and let user select some folder to keep the data in.
now, how do I show a file chooser in the GWT client side which would contain the file system of the server?
I could theoretically implement such a widget myself - read all the files server-side, provide a list to the client, etc, etc. but this looks like a pretty common requirement, so I suspect such a widget should already exist...
GWT does not have an out-of-the-box widget+servlet doing that, and I dont know any 3party library doing that (but maybe you have some success searching in the web).
So you have to create a service in server side to provide the info (folders and files list). In client side I would use a CellTree which is very appropriate to display a filesystem structure.
Greetings,
I'm looking for a way to launch a GWT module when a user clicks on an XML file and have the module consume the xml data. Ideally I would like to render the XML in a rich manner and would prefer to use GWT controls instead of having to lay it out by hand via xslt + javascript.
I'm supposing one way would be to point the xml to a well known xslt that creates a simple html page that forces a redirect to the gwt module but how would I transfer the xml data to said module to allow for enhanced formatting?
Another way would be to have the process that produces the xml also include the bootstrap gwt module but it would be creating multiple bootstrap instances over time and pollute the user's directory.
The use case is that a user would run this app on their local machine which outputs an XML file. If they try and view the xml file in a browser, I'd like to have the GWT module take over and present the data accordingly. I would rather they not have to go to a page and upload the data manually.
Appreciate any ideas on the matter.
TIA
If it's something that runs on the user's machine, I would recommend to ship an executable, or generate a parallel HTML file to present the data. JavaScript run from file:/// will not be able to acces the filesystem.
