Meteor!

rstoenescu

@mwarren2 currently carry on here until I’ll have time to fully focus on meteor. Thx for your help!

@rstoenescu Ok, here’s the little problem I’ve encountered:

Everything works fine on Android, but not on IOS on my IPhone 5.
On IOS I’m having problems with touch actions. For example the q-tabs in this code don’t respond properly. The background of the tab goes grey when you touch it but then nothing happens.
If you hold your finger down long enough for IOS to open one of its little black menus, then touching one of the other q-tabs will work.

    <!-- Navigation Tabs -->
    <q-tabs slot="navigation">
        <q-tab icon="mail" route="/" exact>Mails</q-tab>
        <q-tab icon="alarm" route="/clockalarm" exact>Alarms</q-tab>
        <q-tab icon="help" route="/help" exact>Help</q-tab>
    </q-tabs>

The same for the menu icons that open the right- and left- drawers.

        <!-- opens left-side drawer using its ref -->
        <button class="hide-on-drawer-visible" @click="$refs.leftDrawer.open()">
            <i>menu</i>
        </button>

However these q-drawer-links in the drawer work fine:

        <div class="list no-border platform-delimiter">
            <q-drawer-link icon="mail" to="/" exact>
                Mails
            </q-drawer-link>
            <q-drawer-link icon="alarm" to="/clockalarm" exact>
                Alarm
            </q-drawer-link>
            <q-drawer-link icon="help" to="/help" exact>
                Help
            </q-drawer-link>
        </div>

@mwarren2 Known issue https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar/issues/187
Safari iOS sux. It’s the new IE in web development. Will get this fixed soon.

mwarren2

@rstoenescu Ok, looks like a nasty problem.
Reading around it seems Safari sux big time…

mwarren2

@rstoenescu Did you manage to do the patch?

P.S. Looking forward trying to the DataTables component, looks good!

rstoenescu

@mwarren2 no, a week or so until I get to work on this.

mwarren2

@rstoenescu For the benefit of people who may be keeping track of this post, I note that you’ve probably found a workaround for the Safari IOS problems, and that it will be in Quasar Framework 11.0 release, right?

That leaves only the script to sort out for Meteor. However for the impatient I’ve detailed in Github what to do to make the script work.
https://github.com/quasarframework/app-template-meteor

For the benefit of completeness please note that the info messages that emerge on launching meteor (see github page) have improved in the sense that the md5 strings have gone due to a fix by the Vue people. If you wouldn’t mind taking a brief look at those messages to see if there’s anything you can do to remove them, as they refer to Quasar component code. It’s presumably Meteor code doing some linting. They don’t actually stop anything working. Thanks.

rstoenescu

Will do.

mwarren2

@rstoenescu Forget the strange info messages - they’re definitely down to Vue, and not Quasar.
However just to remind you about the script, any chance of this happening?

I see that there are a lot of views for this page, I don’t know what your statistics are telling you, but it looks like quite a few people are consulting this page, which presumably translates into quite a lot of interest.

Meanwhile Season’s Greetings. Hope you have a good 2017!

mwarren2

@rstoenescu Have updated to 0.12.0 and everything is now working, which makes installation completely straightforward.
Thankyou for all your work on this, I think we can say it is basically done.

I might add a bit more code to help Meteor people along.

One minor bug seems to be left:
On IOS the right-hand drawer still gets stuck.

rstoenescu

@mwarren2 I think I got that minor bug you were talking covered with v0.12.1 (to be available soon). Will triple check again before the release. Thanks for taking time to jump start Quasar with Meteor!

@mwarren2 Thanks for the effort!

I’ve a question:

Is your template going to work with https://github.com/Akryum/vue-apollo as well?

mwarren2

@ric0 Short answer is that I’ve got no idea!

I haven’t even looked at Apollo yet. For two reasons:

Firstly I’m a Meteor fan, especially for what it does on mobile. I’m very satisfied with it.
Secondly although I am sure that I will be investigating Apollo in depth eventually, I’m get to let it settle down a lot more before I begin to look at it.
It’s starting to get simpler as time goes on, and that process is going to accelerate in the coming months.

ric0

@mwarren2 Thank you for answering.

I should try that by myself when I find the time and post back here about how it went

First step is cloning your repo and give it a spin

mwarren2

@rstoenescu Suddenly got a new error and it’s a brick wall.
Just wondering if you can think of anything that might help.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

This is happening on this quasar code line:
import TableFilter from ‘./TableFilter.vue’

What’s happening is that meteor is building from the quasar-framework /src folder and not the /dist folder.
I cannot for the life of me understand why it is suddenly doing this.

Does this ring any bells with you at all?
Thanks.

I’ve tried going backwards to previous Quasar versions, but it made no difference. (currently working with 0.13.0)

rstoenescu

@mwarren2 hmm, might this be something that changed in Meteor?

mwarren2

Don’t worry, I’ve spent two days on the problem and I’ve got no choice but to throw away what I was doing and start again. I hadn’t got very far.
I don’t think it affects our project here, it was a new one.

However I will update Quasar and Meteor here now and see what happens. Thanks.

mwarren2

@rstoenescu I’ve updated and this project is fine.

The other project is back on course.
Your framework, I have to say, is spectacular.

rstoenescu

@mwarren2 Thanks! Big things coming up regarding form components. Quasar will make them rock!
