ptp-splash-server aka static server

As part of the PTP SplashPage2014 effort...

The PTP Splash page is backed by some static files from a server

The static files (mostly javascript) are built from js in the src directory using nodejs.

install

depends on a recent nodejs and npm

first, clone the repo

    git clone [email protected]:personaltelco/ptp-splash-server.git
    cd ptp-splash-server

then run

    npm install

building the js and css that gets delivered to the browser

before you do anything

    cp ./config/config.js.example ./config/config.js

The config.js file as provided in the example uses a handoff of configuration via a hash named pageConf which is set in the browser (see ptp-splash-page). You probably don't need to change it at all.

then call

    make

editing the js and dynamic html that gets delivered to the browser

If you're looking to make edits to some of the splashpage sections that get loaded you'll want to edit the dustjs (handlebars style) templates in ./src/dust and then run

    make

Which will call grunt, a nodejs build tool. grunt is configured by Gruntfile.js to exec build commands including dustc (dust compiler) to turn those templates into javascript. uglify and cssmin is then called to each combine and minify all the javascript and css respectively (as configured in Gruntfile.js) and spits out

    ./htdocs/js/ptp-splash-server.min.js
    ./htdocs/css/ptp-splash-server.min.css

which is what gets called by the HTML in the browser (served from the router) which resides in the repo ptp-splash-page
