I want to include the distance_of_time_in_words method in a sinatra app
I don't want to package and distribute a gem, which is what the Sintra docs direct you to do. I just want that method accessible in my view.
What's the easiest way to do this? Thanks.
On http://www.sinatrarb.com/intro.html look at Helpers section and define helper methods for use in route handlers and templates
Just place the file somewhere in your ruby load path ($LOAD_PATH) and require it. Or place the code directly in your app file.

I wish to localize a Flutter application where locales are fetched by an API call, given the requested language.
I was hoping to be able to use the Intl package or something similar, but I am not sure this is possible without the .arb files.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this without reinventing the wheel?
(Having the localizations stored locally is not an option)
Down below, you can see a class which is converted to a singleton pattern. You can use any service locator package. It will be the same thing.
Now you can call this class in your main function, default set to EN.
Now let's say, you want to support SPANISH and not want to use .arb files
Now you can call google translate and replace values with the existing one. for every variable. I hope this helps.
Use https://pub.dev/packages/localizely_sdk package, it provides what you want to achieve
Turns out easy_localization has the functionality described. Simply creating a custom HttpAssetLoader and passing it to the easy_localization initialization method works out of the box, and provides device language detection, and application rebuild on locale change as intended.
Assume I have loaded a module like auto-suggest like,
Microsoft.Maps.loadModule('Microsoft.Maps.AutoSuggest', callback);
Is there any way available to unload this module? Thanks in advance.
No, but there is no need to. Loading it simply downloads the script needed for that part of the API. It's like loading any other JavaScript file into your application, once downloaded, there is no undownloading it.
I know I can call other JS files from XSJS by making a .xsjslib file. I would like to be able to call a JSView instead. Is this possible?
Note: the reason for me to this is that I can then use the SAPUI5 libraries and make it easier to import external libraries to my code. This is more of general question than trying to target a specific problem.
that's not possible, as the UI5 JSView is in the front end and XSJS is server-side code. Cheers
I have a facebook app developed in plain PHP, I'm migrating the app to YII framework.
The thing is that I use a class call "utilsFacebook" where I have the object facebook(of the fb sdk) and all the methods that I need to get data from facebook, getUserId, getUserFriendList, etc.
I don't know how to handle all the operations that I do in utilsFacebook with Yii.
Create a controller with the functions of utilsFacebook is the correct think to do?
Every time that I instance the controller would create a new Facebook object, Should I store that object in a SESSION to get a better performance or is a bad idea?
Q. Create a controller with the functions of utilsFacebook is the correct think to do?
Having done a facebook app using yii as the framework, i would recommend you to make this library either a component, or an extension.
But definitely don't put these functions in the controller directly. Whenever a controller needs them call the functions using your custom facebook util class.
Components can be put in the folder: projectrootfolder/protected/components
Extensions can be put in the folder: projectrootfolder/protected/extensions
If you don't believe that either of these make semantic sense, you can always create a new folder within protected, say utils and put the class there. However i think extensions is the best way to go.
Q. Should I store that object in a SESSION to get a better performance or is a bad idea?
I don't think it's necessary to store the object in a session, because there will be no visible performance gain. Further you'll complicate your code unnecessarily.
What i had done was, created an app level component and used this component throughout the app, in any controller.
Example:
In your application's config, protected/config/main.php :
'components'=>array(
'fbHelper'=>array( // gave the component this name
'class'=>'ext.utils.FacebookHelper', // had stored the helper class in extensions/utils folder
'parameter1'='somevalue',
// more parameters
),
// standard yii app components
),
This will allow you to use the component like this: Yii::app()->fbHelper->getFriends();
Take a look at the facebook-opengraph extension, which could help you, on the way.
I'm developing a multilanguage application, and use routes with translated segments. For multilingual support I created special Multilingual plugin.
To use translated segments I need set translator for Zend_Controller_Router_Route before routes init. So only possible place for this in my plugin is routeStartup method, but there is one problem here - for determine right locale I need to use properties of request (Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract), like module, controller and action names, but they are not defined yet here in routeStartup method. They are already defined, for example, in routeShutdown - but I can't set translator for route there, because it have to be done before routes init.
So what can I do:
can I get request properties somehow in routeStartup
or can I re-setup translator later in routeShutdown
P.S: there is a question with exactly the same problem Zend_Controller_Router_Route: Could not find a translator, but proposed answers is not the option for me, because I can't just retrieve language code from url with Regex, I have much more complicated code to define right language code.
Thanks.
What about putting your code in preDispatch? That's what I personally do when I need to check if the person is logged in. Maybe you can move your code there too?
