create-react-app: using non-npm dependencies / libraries



I'm using Create React App and I would like to use a JS library that isn't available via npm. How would I go about integrating that into my app? I think I can simply add a script tag for it in public/index.html for development purposes but I'm guessing that won't include it in the final build code. Any suggestions would be welcome.


public/index.html

You can add your script to the public folder and include it in the public/index.html file.


public


public/index.html


http://%PUBLIC_URL%/my-script.js





That appears to work - thanks! However, does that mean when I run npm run build, that this non-npm library will be included in my production ready code?

npm run build





@Bill That's right. Everything in the public folder will be copied to the final build folder you use in production.

public


build





Ahh, OK. Thanks again for your help! As an old school jQuery developer, I'm finding this whole npm/webpack/build process daunting (and so far IMHO somewhat unnecessarily complicated). But I'm liking React.

@Bill No problem! Yeah, it's quite the hassle in the beginning, but it's hard to go back to manually adding scripts when you get the hang of just npm i -S something, import Something from 'something';

npm i -S something


import Something from 'something';

Opening a url is failing in Swift

Opening a url is failing in Swift breakpointing inside the callback and logging success shows false. I added itms-apps to my plist: LSApplicationQueriesSchemes and put this in my app delegate: func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool { return true } func moreTapped() { let url = NSURL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.com/developer/quantum-productions/id979315877") if #available(iOS 10.0, *) { UIApplication.shared.open(url! as URL, options: [:], completionHandler: {(success: Bool) in }) } else { UIApplication.shared.openURL(url! as URL) } } Are you testing on a real device? – rmaddy Jun 21 at 23:57 I try on a device, get "Cannot Connect to App Store".

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
