Yii2 - Alias common in web and console app - yii2

In one of my mail views I'm using the image with the following path
Yii::getAlias('#web/img/default.png');
This worked fine, but then I had to move running sending the mail from app to commands. When I did this I got the error
Invalid path alias: #web/img/default.png.
From research, I understood that this happens because web/index.php is the place where the alias is pre-loaded, and naturally this file is not accessing when running a command. I'm at loss though as what path should I use as an alternative that would work in console and web apps.

As it is stated in Aliases Guide:
Note: #web and #webroot aliases as their descriptions indicate are defined within Web application and therefore are not available for Console application by default.
You can create your own alias or use one of console-available ones like #app or #runtime.

Does code within NextJS API feature exposed to client side

It is well known that nextjs API routes provide a straightforward solution to build your API with Next.js. and that any file inside the folder pages/api is mapped to /api/* and will be treated as an API endpoint instead of a page.
I have just one doubt: is the code within the pages/api exposed to the world? I mean, can I build some logic there that has some key that must be hidden or maybe some MySQL connection?
Whether or not /api is in any way exposed to the world I do not know for sure, but according to Next documentation, "they are server-side only bundles."
In general though, for any key/sql connection that you want to run, I would put that into an .env.local file on your machine, a file that gets git ignored and never uploaded, and if you are hosting on Vercel, then use their environmental variables to store sensitive information.
You'd find environmental variables under:
{Your Account}/{Project}/Settings/Environmental Variables
p.s. Also from Next.js docs, I think you'd find this bit on getStaticProps useful.

"Reverse" JSON Status API

I've been wondering how to fetch the PlayStation server status. They display it on this page:
https://status.playstation.com/en-us/
But PlayStation is known to use APIs instead of PHP database fetches. After looking around in the source code of the site, I found that they have a separate file called /data.json.
https://status.playstation.com/en-us/data.json
The content of this file is the same as the index file (for some reason). They use stuff like {{endDateTitle}} and {{message}}, but I can't find where it's defined, if it's pulled using a separate file or just pulled from a database using PHP.
How can I "reverse" this site and see if there's a API I can use to display the status on my site?
Maybe I did not get the question right, but it seems pretty straightforward.
If using firefox, open Developer tools, Network. Reload the page.
You can clearly see the requested URL
https://status.playstation.com/data/statuses/region/SCEA.json
It seems that an empty list as a status means "No problems" (since there are no problems I cannot verify this assumption. That's all
The parenthesis {{}} are used by various HTML templating languages, like angular, so you'd have to go through the js code to understand where they get updated.

dartdocgen: how to view docs locally

I am having trouble using dartdocgen and dartdoc-viewer to pump my JSON files to the browser. I have had success getting all the JSON files from my application but haven't had any success actually viewing them in the browser. Based on my research, the best way to do this is hosting dartdoc-viewer on a local server as mentioned by this document:
https://www.dartlang.org/tools/dartdocgen/#deploy
However I just cannot seem to get it to work following these directions (I would like to approach it via dartium):
https://github.com/dart-lang/dartdoc-viewer/
I understand that once I am able to run pub build and compile to javascript that I dump the client/build folder into my server along with the docs folder under the URL, I am golden. That's where the issue is, how to get it from the docs folder to javascript to the browser.
I would like to be able to use dartdocgen to it's full potential so can I get some ideas?
Just run dartdocgen --serve .

HTML5 - how to detect a file is accessible

In my app I upload a file to the server using HTML5 File API, however I am encountering a situation where a file is not accessible because it is being used by another process. This actually creates two different error conditions in firefox and in chrome. Is there a way to detect if a file is inaccessible using html5?
Have you looked the sample in this link which shows how you can read a file and in case of error you can write proper error handler:
http://www.azoft.com/spotlight/2011/02/02/filesystem-apifile-api.html
About your second questions "if there's an API call to just check if it is readable without actually having to read it locally", I verified that there is no such API to just get the file handle state and verify it. I think it could be because (but i may be wrong):
the web application runs on any box with limited privilege and getting file handle could require SYSTEM level access
The file handle access could be different for different OS (Linux or Windows)

How to configure Netbeans code entry point when you use mod-rewriting

I am developing a website in PHP and I am using mod-rewrite rules. I want to use the Netbeans Run Configuration (under project properties) to set code entry points that looks like http://project/news or http://project/user/12
It seems Netbeans have a problem with this and needs an entry point to a physical file like http://project/user.php?id=12
Has anyone found a good way to work around this?
I see your question is a bit old, but since it has no answer, I will give you one.
What I did to solve the problem, was to give netbeans what it wants in terms of a valid physical file, but provide my controller (index.php in this case) with the 'data' to act correctly. I pass this data using a query parameter. Using your example of project being the web site domain and user/12 as the URL, use the following in the NetBeans Run Configuration and arguments boxes. netbeans does not need the ? as it inserts that automatically, see the complete url below the input boxes
Project URL: http://project
Index File: index.php *(put your controller name here)*
Arguments: url=user/12
http://project/index.php?url=user/12
Then in your controller (index.php in this example), test for the url query param and if it exists parse it instead of the actual Server Request, as you would do normally.
I also do not want the above URL to be publically accessible. So, by using an IS_DEVELOPER define, which is true only for configured developer IP addresses, I can control who has access that special url.
If you are trying to debug specific pages, alternatively, you can set the NetBeans run configuration to:
http://project/
and debug your project, but you must run through your home page once and since the debugger is now active, just navigate to http://project/user/12 in your browser and NetBeans will debug at that entry point. I found passing through my home page every time a pain, so I use the technique above.
Hopefully that provides enough insight to work with your project. It has worked good for me and if you need more detail, just ask.
EDIT: Also, one can make the Run Configuration Project URL the complete url http://project/user/12 and leave the Index File and Arguments blank and that works too without any special code in controller. (tested in NetBeans 7.1). I think I will start using this method.
