Commands

npm start

Serves the app in development mode

NOTE: This is simply an alias for npm run serve.

npm test

Runs unit tests

npm run build

Builds the app ready for release

WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER=false npm run serve

Serves the app in release mode

NOTE: Requires you to first build the app with npm run build.

Environment Variables

Environment variables are defined via Unix env vars and are documented in the ./server/_env file.

To avoid the hassle of having to define env vars on your local machine during development we recommend you simply rename the ./server/_env file to ./server/.env which, in the absence of a predefined NODE_ENV, will be copied to your environment.

NOTE: Any of the environment variables can be made available to the client by explicitly declaring them in the root Html component. This extra step is required to prevent accidentally leaking sensitive data to the client.
