QUESTION

Vuejs Webpack Compression Plugin not compressing

Asked 2022-Mar-28 at 12:53

I need help debugging Webpack's Compression Plugin.

SUMMARY OF PROBLEM

Goal is to enable asset compression and reduce my app's bundle size. Using the Brotli algorithm as the default, and gzip as a fallback for unsupported browsers.
I expected a content-encoding field within an asset's Response Headers. Instead, they're loaded without the field. I used the Chrome dev tools' network tab to confirm this. For context, see the following snippet:
No errors show in my browser or IDE when running locally.

WHAT I TRIED

Using different implementations for the compression plugin. See below list of approaches:
1. (With Webpack Chain API)

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Sep-30 at 14:59

It's not clear which server is serving up these assets. If it's Express, looking at the screenshot with the header X-Powered-By, https://github.com/expressjs/compression/issues/71 shows that Brotli support hasn't been added to Express yet.

There might be a way to just specify the header for content-encoding manually though.

'GetContents' in 'v8::ArrayBuffer'

Asked 2022-Mar-11 at 16:42

I'm using Mac M1 and I've just upgraded to Node 14.17.6LTS.

I tried to rebuild better_sqlite3 (7.4.3) using with electron builder (22.11.7) and I'm getting the following errors:

no member named 'GetContents' in 'v8::ArrayBuffer'

Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Sep-23 at 01:15

I'm using Mac M1 and I've just upgraded to Node 14.17.6LTS.

An interesting choice, given that Node 16 officially introduced M1 support.

no member named 'GetContents' in 'v8::ArrayBuffer'

See this doc. In short, GetContents was replaced by GetBackingStore in late 2019. Being a compatibility layer, nan adapted to this in early 2020.

So you'll probably have to ensure that the versions of all involved packages (Node, nan, electron, ...) match each other (in the sense of having been released around the same time and targeting each other).

Now Electron 14.0.1 is out, and this is how I could enable remote modules for both Main and Renderer processes (your webPreferences settings may vary).

First, install @electron/remote package (important: no --save-dev, as it needs to be bundled):

You can try disabling hardware acceleration using app.disableHardwareAcceleration() (See the docs). I don't think this is a fix though, it just makes the message go away for me.

Electron: print iframe given reference to it

Asked 2022-Jan-01 at 12:22

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Jan-01 at 12:22

You need to convert the iframe object to Data URL. And load the URL in a new hidden BrowserWindow object.
Build data URL in Renderer process and send the URL to Main process using preload. In main process do the BrowserWindow.loadURL and printing.

How to remove cpp files from production build via webpack?

Asked 2021-Dec-25 at 05:32

I use webpack 4 and electron-builder to bundle and build my Electron app. I noticed that native node modules inside the node_modules directory of the app.asar bundle still contain their C++ source files.

Is there a way to exclude certain file extensions from the build step?

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Dec-25 at 05:32

electron-builder can exclude files in the files section of your package.json.

Default pattern / is not added to your custom if some of your patterns is not ignore (i.e. not starts with !). package.json and /node_modules// (only production dependencies will be copied) is added to your custom in any case. All default ignores are added in any case — you don’t need to repeat it if you configure own patterns.

How to make the body transparent with daisyUI (Tailwind CSS)?

Asked 2021-Dec-17 at 01:02

I recently started developing an Electron application, and I am using daisyUI's Tailwind CSS components for the appearance of the user interface. I want to make the main window of the application rounded; however, daisyUI is making this task pretty challenging.

As you can see in the screenshot below, by default, daisyUI adds a background color to the body. I added the .bg-transparent class to the body tag, in order to make the background transparent, but daisyUI does not let the change apply (note the corners):

On the contrary, if I don't add daisyUI's CSS file to the head tag, the body becomes transparent:

Here's my HTML code:

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Dec-17 at 01:02

Here you can read that daisyUI adds a few base styles if base is true in the tailwind.config.js file. Thus, I had to set base to false to solve my problem:

Vulnerabilities

CVE-2020-26272 MEDIUM

The Electron framework lets you write cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. In affected versions of Electron IPC messages sent from the main process to a subframe in the renderer process, through webContents.sendToFrame, event.reply or when using the remote module, can in some cases be delivered to the wrong frame. If your app uses remote, calls webContents.sendToFrame, or calls event.reply in an IPC message handler then it is impacted by this issue. This has been fixed in versions 9.4.0, 10.2.0, 11.1.0, and 12.0.0-beta.9. There are no workarounds for this issue.
