Welder Web

The web interface for Welder!

Getting Started

Step 1. Make sure that you have Node.js v6.9.1 or newer installed on your machine. For example:

nvm install 6.9.1

Or if it's installed, make sure you're using it:

nvm use 6.9.1

Step 2. Clone this repository and install its dependencies:

$ git clone -o upstream -b master --single-branch https://github.com/weldr/welder-web
$ cd welder-web/
$ npm install                   # Install project dependencies listed in package.json

Step 3. Compile and launch your app by running:

$ node run build
$ node run                      # Same as `npm start` or `node run start`

You can also test your app in release (production) mode by running node run start --release or with HMR and React Hot Loader disabled by running node run start --no-hmr. The app should become available at http://localhost:3000/.

How to Test

The unit tests are powered by chai and mocha.

$ npm run lint                  # Check JavaScript and CSS code for potential issues
$ npm run test                  # Run unit tests. Or, `npm run test:watch`

How to Deploy

Update publish script in the run.js file with your full Firebase project name as found in your Firebase console. Note that this may have an additional identifier suffix than the shorter name you've provided. Then run:

$ node run publish              # Build and publish the website to Firebase, same as `npm run publish`

The first time you publish, you will be prompted to authenticate with Google and generate an authentication token in order for the publish script to continue.

If you need just to build the project without publishing it, run:

$ node run build                # Or, `node run build --release` for production build

Building a Docker image
