I have recently started developing a React app for Nextcloud. After creating the React boilerplate inside my Nextcloud app (in the /src directory) and developing some basic features outside of Nextcloud (just "npm start"), I wanted to get the React part called and included into the Nextcloud app.

As Webpack uses chunk splitting which generates more than one JavaScript file and also adds a hash to the file name for cache resetting, I had problems including it as it is described in the Nextcloud docs. For now my app is not that big so I used this hack to disable chunk splitting in CRA without ejecting.

In the template/index.php i used this PHP code to get the hashed file into app:

/*
 * Uses the manifest file to get the filenames with hash
 * @param  string  $filename
 * @return string
 */
function asset_path($filename) {
	$manifest_path = './apps/portknox_admin/build/asset-manifest.json';
	$ext = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
	$strip = ($ext == "css") ? -4 : -3;
	if (file_exists($manifest_path)) {
		$manifest = json_decode(file_get_contents($manifest_path), TRUE);
	} else {
		$manifest = [];
	}

	if (array_key_exists($filename, $manifest)) {
		return '../build'. substr($manifest[$filename], 0, $strip);
	}
	return '../build' . substr($filename, 0, $strip);
}


style('portknox_admin', asset_path('main.css'));
script('portknox_admin', asset_path('main.js')); 

Maybe this helps someone, leave a comment if you have improvements or a better way.

Seit ich ein 7,8 Zoll PocketBook Inkpad 3 besitze, lese ich auch die Zeit auf diesem Ebook-Reader. Um das wöchentlich erscheinde Epub auf den Reader zu bekommen, habe ich mir ein Download Python Script geschrieben.

Es versucht die Downlaod URL zu generieren und die Datei runterzuladen, im Fehlerfall schickt es mir eine E-Mail. Damit (und mit Hilfe meines alten Bash Scripts) bekomme ich die Zeit per Send-to-PocketBook auf meinen Reader.

Meine jetzige Lösung nutzt leider noch Server von dritten (Email über Sent-to-Pocket). Vielleicht bau ich es noch aus, um die Syncronisation über meine Nextcloud laufen zu lassen. Möglich scheint es zu sein.
