Website Template

Dependencies on Development Machine

• NPM
• NodeJS

Intro

A simple website template to get going. Includes some barebones essentials and choice libraries as well as a few pages to demonstrate how routing & the decorator works.

Setup

• Install NPM
• Install NodeJS
• Navigate to root folder and run npm install to install dependencies. This might take a bit

Running

You can run ./watch to run the watch script. This script watches your web application (/src/main/web/**) and serves the application to http://localhost:8080/. As you update files, you can see the changes update automatically while this script is running locally.

Deployment & Security

Deploy scripts are included (./deploy & ./buildDeploy). Deployment assumes that your server is set up with Nginx & Haproxy. The general idea is that it uses rsync to sync the web application with the remote server. Nginx does not need to reload when the web page updates so running reload pushes new site that is available immediately.

SSL & Security

The scripts in the /security/ directory can be used to use Let's Encrypt & Cerbot to generate an SSL cert. You can find good docs online that walk you through setting up Nginx, Haproxy, & using these tools to get SSL going.

• Webpack (bundles your application)
• React
• Typescript
