Dependencies and setup

For working with database migrations, you'll have use for diesel_cli:

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features "sqlite-bundled"

For JavaScript compilation:

npm install babel-loader @babel/core @babel/preset-env \
    webpack webpack-cli webpack-dev-server

Create config.toml based on config.toml-template. For rapid iteration on JS code, also create config-dev-server.toml. It should be configured so url points to the webpack-dev-server URL, likely http://localhost:8080/.

You need to set yourself up as an authorized uploader in the database file. To do so, first start the program to get the correct schemas set up, then execute

sqlite3 test.db 'INSERT INTO uploaders VALUES ("your-email-address");'

Run

./node_modules/.bin/webpack
cargo run -- config.toml test.db

JavaScript

Building JS bundle up front, for production and backend development:

./node_modules/.bin/webpack

Serving JS bundle from webpack-dev-server for rapid iteration on JS code:

./node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server &
cargo run --features=dev-server -- config-dev-server.toml test.db

--features=dev-server allows the backend to build without the frontend code ready.
