Node.js App Skeleton

The Node.js App Skeleton is a pre-configured base for ScaleIT Apps. It provides a ready to use Node.js server, dockerization and Ionic integration.

Skeleton Functionality:

Node.js Server for static files
Ionic frontend

Mobile	Desktop

Technology Stack

Node.js->(Typescript->Angular->Ionic)

Usage (Standalone)

# Resolve dependencies
npm install
# Build Frontend
npm run build 
# Run Server
node server.js

Usage (Docker)

Docker:

docker build -t nodejs-app-skeleton
docker run -p 3000:3000 nodejs-app-skeleton

Docker Compose:

docker-compose up

Development

In order to simplify development we recommend working locally (or with a docker bind mount) and using the ionic hot reload feature of the ionic dev server

npm run ionic:serve

In order to pull from this repo as upstream you should use githubs rebasing feature:

git checkout alpine
git pull --rebase origin master

git checkout dev
git pull --rebase origin alpine

Alternatively use cherry picking (or patching):

git cherry-pick d147423..2622049
git cherry-pick d147423

Health Check (Optional)

    #Build with healtcheck enabled
    HEALTHCHECK --interval=5m --timeout=3s \
    CMD curl -f http://localhost:5002/ || exit 1

Navigation and Pages

<!-- Uses classical html navigation -->
<a href="/#/page2">Jump to Page2</a>


<!-- Use the ionic stack for navigation (automatic back button) -->
<!-- Text Button -->
<button [navPush]=”page2”>Push Page2 onto the stack and navigate to it</button>

<!-- Style Icon Button -->
<button [navPush]=”page2” ion-button icon-only>
  <ion-icon name=”information-circle”></ion-icon>
</button>

Don't forget to declare the page in your parent component if you want to use the stack navigation:

/** ==========
Homepage TypeScript
 ========== **/

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController } from "ionic-angular";
import { Page2 } from "../page2/page2";

@Component({
  selector: "page-home",
  templateUrl: "home.html"
})
export class HomePage {
  //------
  // this is the important part for working with the ionic stack
  page2 = Page2;
  //------
