How to define webpack dynamic context where node.js code try to find a filename with fallback?

I try to webpack a node.js module and stumbling on some code where we try to require a JSON file with a fallback to a file that will exist at all events. The following code is a hard nut for webpack.

var tryRequire = function(filename){
  var result = null;
  if (fs.existsSync(filename)){
    result = require(filename);
  }
  return result;
}

var getI18nStorage = function(culture){
  var cultureParts = culture.toLowerCase().split("-");
  var dir = path.join(__dirname, "../../i18n/address");
  var fn = cultureParts[0] + ".json";
  var filename = path.join(dir, fn);
  var storage = tryRequire(filename);
  if (!storage){
    fn = cultureParts[1] + ".json";
    filename = path.join(dir, fn);
    storage = tryRequire(filename);
    if (!storage){
      fn = "us.json";
      filename = path.join(dir, fn);
      storage = tryRequire(filename);
/*      if (!storage){
        console.log(culture, "nothing found");
        process.exit(1)
      }*/
    }
  }

  return storage;
}

Currently packing var c = getI18nStorage("en-GB"); results in !(function webpackMissingModule() { var e = new Error("Cannot find module \".\""); e.code = 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'; throw e; which is understandable :o)

I tried to learn from https://github.com/webpack/webpack/tree/master/examples/require.context but could not transfer the technique to my problem. I think I need to know 2 things:

• How to manualy add requiered modules to webpack if they cannot be resolved programaticaly?
  • I tried to add context: path.join(__dirname, "../lib/i18n"), to webpack config but this does not include data to bundled output.
• Is there a way to help webpack to understand this node.js filesystem strategy to try to find a required module?

How to use Firebase Admin SDK with Node.js?

I want to use the Firebase Admin SDK but I have never used Node.js before. I'm using Brackets as my editor and it has a built in web server because I need it for my AngularJS routes. I run my web app through Brackets but I get "require is not defined" in the console.

Form Submit 404 Not Found Error

Hi I am currently learning NodeJS and the Express framework, but I am having issue with when I try to submit the form it suppose to go the '/users/register' URL but it seems that my app.js is not finding the register.jade file although I have a register.jade under the view folder. Here is some of my codes:

register.jade:

extends layout

block content
    h1 Register
    p Please register using the form below
    ul.errors
        if errors
            each error, i in errors
                li.alert.alert-danger #{error.msg}
    form(method='post', action='/users/register', enctype='multipart/form-data') ...

user.js:

router.post('/users/register', function(req, res, next) { ... });

app.js:

var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
var logger = require('morgan');
var expressValidator = require('express-validator');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var session = require('express-session');
var passport = require('passport');
var local = require('passport-local').Strategy;
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var multer = require('multer');
var flash = require('connect-flash');
var mongo = require('mongodb');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var db = mongoose.connection;

var index = require('./routes/index');
var users = require('./routes/users');

var app = express();

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
...
app.use('/', index);
app.use('/users', users);

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  var err = new Error('Not Found');
  err.status = 404;
  next(err);
});

Error on my Git Bash:

Error from the browser:

Here is my folder structure:

I am not sure why it errors out 404, thank you in advance!

Environment variables readable by Apache/PHP and Systemd/node

On the same server, I have a apache php application and a nodejs application (started via systemd).

For systemd/node, I put the following config:

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/environment

For apache, I have put the following line in /etc/apache2/envvars

. /etc/environment

My problem is:

• It works in PHP and standalone node if I put export before each variable, but not in node via systemd
• It works in node via systemd if I remove the export

Is there a way for me to write these variables in a single place that can be used by Apache/PHP and node started via systemd ?
