Build with server generated JS

[invalidoyt]

Hello all,

I have a issue with Sencha Cmd.

In my app, I first load the framework, then I generate settings in JS format on server, and then my app launches with the settings retrieved from the server. See below:

app.json

{
  "name": "Acente.mobi",
  "indexHtmlPath": "index.html",
  "url": null,
  "js": [
    {
      "path": "touch/sencha-touch.js",
      "x-bootstrap": true
    },
    {
      "path": "http://acente.local:8080/admin/gateway/index.php/settings/setting?mode=app",
      "remote": true
    },
    {
      "path": "app.js",
      "bundle": true,
      "update": "delta"
    },
    {
      "path": "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true",
      "remote": true
    },
    {
      "path": "resources/source/langs/tur.js"
    },
    {
      "path": "lang.js",
      "update": "delta"
    },
  ],
  "css": [
    {
      "path": "resources/css/app.css",
      "update": "delta"
    }
  ],
  "appCache": {
    "cache": [
      "index.html"
    ],
    "network": [
      "*"
    ],
    "fallback": []
  },
  "resources": [
    "resources/images",
    "resources/icons",
    "resources/startup"
  ],
  "ignore": [
    ".svn$"
  ],
  "archivePath": "archive",
  "id": "a64ea987-ecb3-419b-9510-80134981238f"
}

So, when I build this with Testing mode, app.js contains everything including the framework and my app files. And the remote "setting" is added as a <script/> tag into the index.html.

This breaks my application, because my app files make use of the settings on this remote script. Do you have any idea how to solve this issue? I cant see any way to interfere with the building process.

Maybe I should find another way in my app.js or in the initial controller to make my settings retrieved from the server usable for the app.

Any ideas?

If you list this in app.json, it will attempt to find the file to copy, the remote option does not work in Cmd.

But the file retrieved from the server (the setting JS) is not static. It is dynamic and has settings of the application. The client may change the settings at any time on the admin panel.

If I list it on app.json, I suppose it will get it once and put it statically on the app?

Cmd doesn't run your application when you build it, it inspects the code. So if you are hitting a server side script like PHP it won't be run. You would need to edit index.html or you could use an index.php as your landing point that is just copied with the build but index.html will get edited by Cmd.

I see. I should change the way I build settings for my app.

Thank you for replies,

Have a nice day.
