Building and running the app locally

To run the app locally, clone this repo and npm install all dependencies, then run the following command:

npm start

Or to build the app without running it, run:

npm run build

Validating changes

To validate that source changes don't cause cascading cache invalidations, make a change to the source modules and rebuild the demos:

npm run build

After a rebuild, you can reload each demo and see which assets are served from cache and which assets are re-requested.
