Deployment

This is a starter template for using alia/HTML.

You can see it deployed here:

Usage

These instructions assume you're running Linux (and will work inside the Windows Subsystem for Linux).

  1. Ensure sure that you have CMake (3.14 or higher) and Emscripten (1.39.18 or higher).

  2. Use this repository as a template to create your own instance of it. (Just press the big green button at the top.)

  3. Clone your repository locally.

  4. Build it. (Be sure to activate Emscripten for your shell before doing this.)

    mkdir build
cd build
emcmake cmake ..
make -j

    Another option is to use VS Code with the CMake Tools extension to automatically handle this process. Just select the Emscripten kit and it should all work.

  5. To view your app, you'll need to run a web server to serve the files within the build/deploy directory. A Python 2.x script is included that will do this for you:

    cd build/deploy
python2 ../../scripts/run-web-server.py

    With that running, you can navigate to http://localhost:8020/ to see your app.

  6. Edit src/app.cpp and try some things. You can find lots of ready-to-use code snippets within the HTML demos and the docs.

    Just rebuild and do a hard refresh (Ctrl-F5) to see your changes.

    Also feel free to edit index.html and style.css right from the src/ directory.

The repository is configured to automatically deploy to the gh-pages branch, so if you enable GitHub Pages for your repository, you can also see your creation live on the web!
