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)

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.

If sqlite3 is required during normal operation of your Electron application and not just during development then you will need to added sqlite3 as a dependency.

IE: Move "sqlite3": "^5.0.2" from "devDependencies": { ... } to "dependencies": { ... }.

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Feb-11 at 10:23

When you run bash interactively, your .bashrc file will be run. When you run the command directly on the docker run command, bash is run non-interactively and .bashrc isn't run.

NVM uses .bashrc to set things up, so it needs to run.

You can force bash into interactive mode with the -i option. Then it'll work, but you'll get some warnings because it tries to do some terminal stuff that fails.

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.

QUESTION

React history & universal-cookie not working in Electron App

Asked 2021-Dec-12 at 23:34

I'm currently carrying over a web project over to Electron, with the use of ReactJs, Redux, Express, MongoDB & Tailwind. I'm currently stuck on my authentication, where previously I made use of universal-cookies and history.push() for the usual redirecting and validation of cookies for the authentication process. Everything works perfectly fine, when I'm in the development server. I can see the cookies being added and redirection is working as expected. Now when I build the application, I try to login in, but nothing happens at all, but I can see the login request being successfully sent from the express server. I'm unsure if cookies are supported in Electron or either the use of history.push() (react-router-dom), but it's just odd seeing it work in the development server. Any help would be appreciated.

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Dec-12 at 23:34

Well I've just realised, coding long periods of time can cause a person to make the simplest mistakes. Well I figured that in order for the electron app to run after the build, the client server is still needed... so the only think that had to be done was to make use write a simple script, to ensure the backend is executed as well as executing the front-end server in order for the actual build to work.

QUESTION

How can I enable the cancel button in an electron-built application?

Asked 2021-Nov-30 at 00:39

I'm working with an electron application that is built via electron-builder. When I generate the installer and begin installing with it, I see that the cancel button is disabled.

I've looked around at some electron builder documentation and done a few google searches but I seem to be coming up blank here.

edit: Discovered that I can use build/installer.nsh to actually modify UI elements, now I'm just wondering, how do I gain access to the button to enable / disable it, the examples I've seen use an .ini file to store options or something similar, but I'm getting recommendations to use nsDialogs.

Is nsDialogs something that's already readily accessible to me or do I need to import something into my installer.nsh file to use nsDialogs?

And by that token, how would I access the cancel button in nsDialogs?

Is there a configurable value that enables me to... enable that cancel button so users can choose to cancel during installation?

Thanks!

...

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Nov-30 at 00:39

NSIS installers do not support canceling the installation when you enter the InstFiles page (or any page after it). This is by design because of how the scripting language works.

If you don't mind hacks you can call the uninstaller when the user clicks cancel during the install phase:

Vulnerabilities

No vulnerabilities reported

Install electron-builder

Yarn is strongly recommended instead of npm.
electron-webpack-quick-start is a recommended way to create a new Electron application. See Boilerplates. Please note that everything is packaged into an asar archive by default. For an app that will be shipped to production, you should sign your application. See Where to buy code signing certificates.
Specify the standard fields in the application package.json — name, description, version and author.
Specify the build configuration in the package.json as follows: "build": { "appId": "your.id", "mac": { "category": "your.app.category.type" } } See all options. Option files to indicate which files should be packed in the final application, including the entry file, maybe required.
Add icons.
Add the scripts key to the development package.json: "scripts": { "app:dir": "electron-builder --dir", "app:dist": "electron-builder" } Then you can run yarn app:dist (to package in a distributable format (e.g. dmg, windows installer, deb package)) or yarn app:dir (only generates the package directory without really packaging it. This is useful for testing purposes). To ensure your native dependencies are always matched electron version, simply add script "postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps" to your package.json.
If you have native addons of your own that are part of the application (not as a dependency), set nodeGypRebuild to true.
