Introduction

A universal JS application that produces user water consumption reports for DAIAD with the ability to render to PDF files on the backend with the help of phantomJS. The application uses Express, React, Redux, Webpack

Installation (Development)

For faster development, Webpack's Hot Module Replacement feature has been enabled (compatibility with React+Redux with React-hot-loader). For easier debugging, the HTTP method accepted by the backend is GET. Also, logging is enabled on the client.

npm install
npm run dev

Note: The host and the port for the Node server, as well as the host and port for the hotload server can be changed in the config section of package.json

Installation (Production)

In production mode, deployment has been optimized for speed. The HTTP method accepted by the backend is POST.

npm run prod

Note: The host and the port for the Node server can be changed in the config section of package.json
