Run npm install @cipscis/csv
You will need to install Node.js before working on this package.
- Clone the repository using
git clone https://github.com/cipscis/csv.git. - Run
npm installto install development dependencies. - Create a
.envfile. - Run
npm startto run the local server and watch CSS and JS files for changes.
This project creates six npm tasks:
-
npm run serverruns a Node.js server on the port specified in the.envfile, using Express. -
npm run buildcompiles CSS files using gulp-sass and bundles JavaScript using Webpack. -
npm run watchfirst runs thebuildtask, then watches the relevant directories and reruns thebuildtask if it sees any changes. -
npm startruns both theserverandwatchtasks simultaneously. -
npm testtask compiles and TypeScript and runs any configured test suites using Jasmine. -
npm run preparecompiles any TypeScript and runs any configured test suites using Jasmine. You should never need to run this task manually, thepreparescript runs automatically when npm prepares your package for publishing.
Usually, you will just want to run npm start.
The .env file contains the following environment variables:
PROJECT_NAME(string)
If present, used by Express to set up redirects for emulating GitHub Pages.
MODE(string 'development' | 'production')
Used by Webpack to determine what optimisations to use and how to generate sourcemaps.
PORT(int)
Used by Express to determine which port to use when running a local Node.js server.
An example .env file you can use for development is:
PROJECT_NAME = "csv"
MODE = "development"
PORT = "8080"
This file is intended to differ from environment to environment, so it is ignored by Git.
None.
