Server for the landscape-connect app

Landscape Connect website and server

There are three parts to the system:

• Web server - this is a node.js web server which replies to requests and builds responses.
• Front end build system. This builds simply the splash page showing off the features.
• Admin console. Full administrative system as an SPA which uses the web server to function.

Requirements:

Server

The version of node is specified in .nvmrc as 14. This ensures long term compatability.

Front-end build

The build node version is currently also 14.

Linting

npx lint --fix

Testing

The tests are written in Mocha, and can be run with:

heroku local:run mocha -e .env.test

They're also run on Travis CI from GitHub actions.

Environments:

• Beta
