MC6007-T2-->BDA

Development

Before you can build this project, you must install and configure the following dependencies on your machine:

1. Jdk8: Install JDK from Oracle

2. Node.js: We use Node to run a development web server and build the project. Depending on your system, you can install Node either from source or as a pre-packaged bundle.

After installing Node, you should be able to run the following command to install development tools. You will only need to run this command when dependencies change in package.json.

npm install

We use npm scripts and Webpack as our build system.

Run the following commands in two separate terminals to create a blissful development experience where your browser auto-refreshes when files change on your hard drive.

./mvnw
npm start

Npm is also used to manage CSS and JavaScript dependencies used in this application. You can upgrade dependencies by specifying a newer version in package.json. You can also run npm update and npm install to manage dependencies. Add the help flag on any command to see how you can use it. For example, npm help update.

The npm run command will list all of the scripts available to run for this project.

3. Download Intellij to be able to debug and open the application.

Building for production

Packaging as jar

To build the final jar and optimize the MC6007-T2-->BDA application for production, run:

Unix: ./mvnw -Pprod clean package -DskipTests=true
Windows: mvnw -Pprod clean package -DskipTests=true

This will concatenate and minify the client CSS and JavaScript files. It will also modify index.html so it references these new files. To ensure everything worked, run:

java -jar target/mc-6007-t2-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar --spring.config.name=application --spring.config.location=classpath:/config/application.yml,classpath:/config/application-{prod/dev}.yml

Then navigate to http://localhost:8090 in your browser.

Packaging as war

To package your application as a war in order to deploy it to an application server, run:

Unix: ./mvnw -Pprod clean package -DskipTests=true
Windows: mvnw -Pprod,war clean package -DskipTests=true

4. Notes: The database in this case is a raven db server, and you will be able to see the server on the web address : http://localhost:8080
