Setting up locally

Prerequisites

You'll need to install the following tools:

• Angular CLI 11.0.6 or greater (older versions might work, but haven't been tested)

Starting up

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Team-Kaleidoscope/DevHive.git
2. Navigate to the folder, in which you cloned it
3. Run npm install to install all front-end packages
4. Run ng serve to start up the front-end
   • as with the API, you can run the command in background or create a systemd service

If everything went smoothly, you will be able to access the front-end from http://localhost:4200. Also, don't forget that the API needs to be running at the same time, otherwise you won't get beyond the Login and Register pages!

Important notes

If you host your API on a specific link that isn't the standard http://localhost:5000, go to src/app and edit the app-constants.module.ts file, on the second row you're gonna see the variable BASE_API_URL, update it.

You can change on what port the front-end is ran, by issuing the serve command with the --port parameter: ng serve --port 5001. But, don't run it with the --ssl parameter! SSL isn't supported yet and you'll have issues trying to use it! If you really need ssl, using a reverse proxy might be a viable alternative.
