I'm not sure if I'm going about this the right way, however this is what I need to do. I have common .tpl.html files that I want to use both for an angular template and a template to generate a static .html file. What I want is a system (grunt-related) that will take the junk in .tpl.html and insert it in a outer .html file and create a static .html file.
For example, say I have:
stuff.tpl.html
<div> I want this stuff in my overall template </div>
stuff2.tpl.html
<div> I want this stuff in my overall template to create another html</div>
outer.html
<head>
stuff
</head>
<body>
{{insert}}
</body>
where I can make stuff.html (or stuff2.html) by inserting stuff.tpl.html (or stuff2.tpl.html) into outer.html.
I know how to do the angular side, just not the static side.
If I'm not mistaken you need to concatenate multiple static files in to a one single file.
You can use grunt-contrib-concat to do the job. See the below link grunt-contrib-concat
If you need to implement the template with angularJs, you can use grunt-html2js which will convert your static html to angular template. Then you can use grunt-contrib-concat to concat all the angular template and create one js which you can add to your index.html subequently.
Hope this might help you.

I wish to do the following things:
Insert external html blocks into new html pages
Use the same html header from one html file for a number of pages, without recreating the header again for all the pages
Please help!
You can use HTML Imports which is part of Web Components:
<head>
<link rel="import" href="/path/to/your/file.html">
</head>
If your page does not have to be pure HTML, you should consider using PHP or a similar server-side language.
There are plenty of options, depends on you:
1) use iframes (a lot problems with responsibility) http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp
2) ajax call in javascript, load external resource and then print it in placeholder tag (example is with jquery) http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_ajax_load.asp
3) use some server language/preprocessor (php, ruby, nodejs), depend if you can (need to by installed on server)
4) also there are static page generator, you add marks in your html, and they will compile html with marks to full static html http://hyde.github.io/ for example.
What you are talking about appears to be a process called templating. There are many ways to do this, including writing Javascript to insert pre-written HTML templates into the DOM (the webpage). You might also consider using a pre-written templating library such as http://handlebarsjs.com/ or another library which contains templating functions like http://underscorejs.org/. A simple MVC guide like:
http://blog.ircmaxell.com/2014/11/a-beginners-guide-to-mvc-for-web.html
May be helpful too, to get you started.
In a more practical sense, here's one possible solution:
To begin I would recommend putting the 'blocks' you want to insert in a separate folder. In the website I run, for example, I place them in the \templates folder (or subfolders) but you can more or less call it what you want as long as it makes sense to you. For our purposes let's say we've created block.html and put it in our \templates subfolder...
Now, within each template you will have whatever you want to load in; something like this:
<h2>Title of section</h2>
<p>My text.</p>
Or whatever you'd like. Then, you'll probably want to add an element to your main page which calls some Javascript, which loads your HTML template in when a particular condition occurs. For example, if you wanted to load in our block.html file you might write something like this:
<div id="calling-block" onclick="menuClicked('locationToInsert', 'block')"></div>
Which would call a Javascript function called 'menuClicked()' when we click the div with the id 'calling-block'.
Within the function we would write something like this:
<script>
function menuClicked(insertEl, UrlString, onTemplateLoaded) {
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200) {
document.getElementById(insertEl).innerHTML = xhttp.responseText;
if (onTemplateLoaded) onTemplateLoaded();
};
};
console.log(UrlString);
xhttp.open("GET", UrlString, true);
xhttp.send();
};
</script>
This is a very simple way of doing things and I'm sure people will tell you there are problems with it, so I would definitely recommend doing your own reading as well, but I hope this covers the very basics.
You need tu use a server side functionality like php, aspx ...
I want to generate a pdf (an invoice as letter) out of a twig template. The template uses a css and contains a header with a logo (png-image) and a footer, which should appear at the bottom of the document.
I tried it with the KnpSnappyBundle, but this doesn't work (css only works inline, images are not rendered..., etc.). Are there any other tools to generate a pdf?
With Java I used jasper-reports (really cool), isn't there anything similar for php?
I have used KnpSnappyBundle to generate pdf before, and it worked with external css files, thought there's is some diffrence bettween regular tempaltes:
When linking asset you have to provide absolute path:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/css.css', null, true) }}" />
I didn't needed images files, but I think it should work the same, also you need to use "renderView" method instead of "render".
$pdf = $this->renderView('**:**:tempalte.html.twig', array());
After that you just simple use:
$file = $this->container->get('knp_snappy.pdf')->getOutputFromHtml(pdf);
The answer is: The server startet via
php app/console server:run
is single-threaded, so there is no chance, to get a response, when requesting an image or css-file...
I have two cshtml-files in the same subfolder of Views. One of the templates is meant to include the other template. I tried to accomplish that as follows:
Main template:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
#Html.Partial("~/Views/Pdfs/Header");
</body>
</html>
The error I get is
Unable to compile template. The name 'Html' does not exist in current context.
What am I supposed to do additionally?
As commented by Erik there is no Html in RazorEngine (see the linked answer), however you can use #Include("mytemplate") instead.
If you want to be compatible with the #Html.Partial() syntax for some reason you can extend the RazorEngine syntax like this.
Basically what you want to do is provide your own class inheriting from TemplateBase<T> (or ITemplate to be exact) and then set it either via configuration or the #Inherit MyBaseClass<MyModel> syntax. In this case you could just call the Include method from your Partial method within the Html helper class.
Been annoyed by this for a long time. Wrote all the infrastructure classes to just get this working like you'd expect in MVC, without all the MVC burden:
var razor = RazorHelper.O;
var html = razor.RenderFromMvc(#"Views\RazorEngine\TestEmail.cshtml", vm);

Is there a way to include a plain html page inside a Play Framework's view template? I have a scenario wherein there is a common view template and in the body of the template, I would like to include certain static html pages. I know that I can include other templates inside a certain template, but I'm not sure if I could include a plain html page?
One option is to just make your static HTML a template, eg, create myStaticPage.scala.html:
<h1>Static page</h1>
<p>This page is static, though it is still a template.</p>
Then your view template, myView.scala.html:
#(staticPage: Html)
<html>
<head>...</head>
<body>#staticPage</body>
</html>
And then in your action that renders the template:
def renderMyStaticPage = Action {
Ok(views.html.myView(views.html.myStaticPage())
}
You just need to make sure that your HTML page escapes any # symbols with ##.
On the other hand, if which HTML page that's being included is more dynamic, then simply load the HTML from the file/database/classloader/whereever it's coming from, eg:
def renderMyStaticPage = Action {
val staticPage: String = // code to load static page here
Ok(views.html.myView(Html(staticPage))
}
You could.
Just put something like that in your routes file:
GET /file controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file="html/file.html")
Here is a duplicated post: Route to static file in Play! 2.0
I'm sure this topic comes up all the time,
But I can't seem to fine a concise answer.
I've got a vertical menu bar that I want to reuse in webpages (>20).
The Menu Bar is coded in HTML and uses uses: UL, LI, A, <Div> tags, and CSS. We need this:
Reusable
Maintainable
Scalable
So we don't have to modify all pages every time we add a page.
We'd rather avoid a coding approach if possible. We could live with just one master file that we edit as needed. Since we're using CSS and <div>s, I don't think frames scale for us. What can we do?
Server side includes are the way to go if you don't want to use a programming language.
They take this form:
<!--#include virtual="menu.html" -->
and will be inserted in the page wherever you put that tag in your HTML. It requires server side parsing, so your web server must have server side includes enabled. You can try it out, and if it doesn't work, contact your server host to see if you can get them enabled. If it's Apache, there's a method of enabling them via .htaccess files as well.
In order to do this, you'll have to use some server side technology. For instance you could...
include them in php
put them in the master page in .net
put this in a partial or a layout page in rails

Another solution would be to create all this using Javascript, but please don't do it like that :)
html:
<script type="text/javascript" src="hack.js"></script>
<div id="mymenu">
</div>
hack.js:
function createMenu(){
$("#mymenu").html("all the html of your menu");
}
Without any server side script or Javascript you can use object or iframe tags.

The only thing to care is to indicate target="parent" in links.
Hope it helps
Using a w3 script..
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>

<div w3-include-html="nav.html"></div>

nav.html
<h2>Your nav</h2>

And don't forget to test this code on your localhost.
I've done this two separate ways - one using server side (PHP) and one using Javascript includes (for demos that need to be able to run without any internet connection or server capabilities).
For PHP includes your pages will have to end with .php rather than .htm or .html, and these are very ideal to replace your header, footer, navigation, etc. Anything that is repeated on multiple pages.
Basically you would create your normal code then copy and paste the code you want to break out - in this example, your navigation - and save it in another file called (for example) inc_navigation.htm (this page can be called .htm).
Then in your actual pages you'd use the following code:
<?php include('inc_navigation.htm') ?>
That would insert your navigation at that point, if you had a change to make you'd make it to the .htm file and it would propagate to any page with that included.
For javascript includes you will have to include the following line at the top of every document where you want to include your navigation:
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes.js"></script>
Then you'll create a document called includes.js.
At the top of this document you'll declare your navigation variable:
var navigation = new Array(); // This is for the navigation.
Then a little ways down in that same document you need to actually outline your navigation code (the line numbers in the square brackets are crucial - keep them in order and start with 0 - you cannot have line breaks in this code so every line of code has to be a new line):
// ==================== Navigation ==================== //
navigation[0] = '<div id="tab_navigation">';
navigation[1] = '<ul id="dropline">';
navigation[2] = '<li><b>Home</b></li>';
navigation[3] = '<li><b>About Us</b></li>';
navigation[4] = '</ul>';
navigation[5] = '</div><!-- Close TAB NAVIGATION -->';
Then a little ways after that you'll actually insert the javascript that will put that code into your page (it doesn't actually put it there but rather makes it accessible in the page without actually altering the code of the .htm page - so if you view source you'll see the reference to the code not the code itself).
function show(i)
{
for (x in i)
{
document.write(i[x]+'\n')
}
}
Finally - in your .htm document, say for your index.htm page, you'll replace your navigation code (that you put in the above block called navigation) with this:
<script type="text/javascript">show(navigation);</script>
Where that name after SHOW and in the parenthesis is the name of your variable (declared earlier).
I have sites showing both methods in use if you'd like to see them just send me a message.
I was facing the same thing. Then, I created a new file for storing the html of the navigation bar.
I created a file navbar.html which had all my navigation bar code.
Then, in your main html file where you want navigation bar, just include this file by using jquery.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#navigation').load('navbar.html');
});
Then at the place where you want navigation bar, just add this line:
<div id="navigation"></div>
As a modern answer to a six year old question: Web Components are specifically reusable HTML components, and Polymer is possibly the most popular implementation of it at the moment. Currently virtually no browser has native support for Web Components, so at the very least a Javascript polyfill is required.
If you would use PHP, all you have to do is use the include command, no coding beyond this one command.
Also, check out server side includes
So far one of the best solutions I have found is to model the menus after the Son of Suckerfish XHTML/CSS solution that is pretty well documented on the internet now combined with some logic on the server to render the unordered list. By using unordered lists you have a couple different options on how to output the results, but as long as the menu has some basic hierarchy you can generate it. Then for the actual page all you need to do is include a reference to the menu generating function.
I was searching for a way to write a reusable navigation menu that toggled(show/hide) when clicking a button. I want to share a solution that worked for me in case anyone else is looking to do the same. This solution uses jQuery, html, and css.
Add this line of code to your head tag in your main index.html file:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
Add div for your nav in body tag:
<div id="mySidenav" class="sidenav"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("#mySidenav").load("nav.html").toggle().width("400pt");
});
});
</script>
Create a html file that will be where your navigation menu resides. My file is called nav.html and inside the file the contents look like this:
have you found your one true musubi?`
item2
item3
