I'm new to Grunt (and JavaScript in general) and I'm trying to add grunt-connect-proxy to my Yeoman generated gruntfile (generator-angular 0.10.0).
I've read -->this guide to help me out but it does not seem to be done in the same way anymore.
This is what the generated gruntfile looks like
// The actual grunt server settings
connect: {
options: {
port: 9000,
// Change this to '0.0.0.0' to access the server from outside.
hostname: 'localhost',
livereload: 35729
},
proxies: [
{
context: '/api',
host: 'localhost',
port: 8080,
https: false
}
],
livereload: {
options: {
open: true,
return [
connect.static('.tmp'),
connect().use(
'/bower_components',
connect.static('./bower_components')
),
connect.static(appConfig.app)
];
}
}
},
test: {
options: {
port: 9001,
middleware: function (connect) {
return [
connect.static('.tmp'),
connect.static('test'),
connect().use(
'/bower_components',
connect.static('./bower_components')
),
connect.static(appConfig.app)
];
}
}
},
dist: {
options: {
open: true,
base: '<%= yeoman.dist %>'
}
}
},
If I switch this part:
return [
connect.static('.tmp'),
connect().use(
'/bower_components',
connect.static('./bower_components')
),
connect.static(appConfig.app)
];
For this code, taken from the guide:
base: [
'.tmp',
'<%= yeoman.app %>'
],
middleware: function (connect, options) {
if (!Array.isArray(options.base)) {
options.base = [options.base];
}
// Setup the proxy
var middlewares = [require('grunt-connect-proxy/lib/utils').proxyRequest];
// Serve static files.
options.base.forEach(function (base) {
middlewares.push(connect.static(base));
});
// Make directory browse-able.
var directory = options.directory || options.base[options.base.length - 1];
middlewares.push(connect.directory(directory));
return middlewares;
It will make the proxy work and I get my api from port 9000 (that my angular-app uses). But it will mess with the css. I guess it has something to do with the bower components somehow. But I don't know how to add the bower part to the tutorial code or vice versa.
Thanks alot!
Here is solution (found it here):
...
livereload: {
options: {
open: true,
//base: [
// '.tmp',
// '<%= yeoman.app %>'
//],
//middleware: function (connect) {
// return [
// connect.static('.tmp'),
// connect().use(
// '/bower_components',
// connect.static('./bower_components')
// ),
// connect.static(appConfig.app)
// ];
//}
middleware: function (connect, options) {
var middlewares = [];
//if (!Array.isArray(options.base)) {
// options.base = [options.base];
//}
// Setup the proxy
middlewares.push(require('grunt-connect-proxy/lib/utils').proxyRequest);
// Serve static files
//options.base.forEach(function(base) {
// middlewares.push(connect.static(base));
//});
middlewares.push(connect.static('.tmp'));
middlewares.push(
connect().use(
'/bower_components',
connect.static('./bower_components')
)
);
middlewares.push(connect.static(appConfig.app));
return middlewares;
}
}
},
