Arras Template, Made by Oblivion#3940

This is a heavily optimized and improved upon version of https://github.com/nepphhh/arrasio.
As such, it's very different from the source code.
The client and server are all split up into many different files. Each file's name should give you a description of what it does.

Setting up a static client + server on one project

  1. In the server's config.json, find the host property and set it to the proper host (eg. localhost, arras.io, your-project.herokuapp.com, your-thing.glitch.me).
  2. Make sure the port property is correct in the config.json file.
    Please note that if you're using a hosting solution that sets the port for you, it will be the value of process.env.PORT. In global.js, this is taken care of for you.
  3. npm start or node server/index.js

Setting up a standalone client somewhere else

  1. Make sure you have the standaloneClient folder.
  2. In the index.js file of that folder, make sure the ip property on line 9 is set to the complete host and port of the server you want the client to connect to. (eg 127.0.0.1:3000, 234.23.123.123:3001, your-project.herokapp.com)
  3. npm run host

Setting up a standalone server with a standalone client

  1. Make sure the steps above are complete
  2. In the server's config.json, find the host property and set it to the proper host (eg. localhost, arras.io, your-project.herokuapp.com, your-thing.glitch.me).
  3. Make sure the port property is correct in the config.json file.
    Please note that if you're using a hosting solution that sets the port for you, it will be the value of process.env.PORT. In global.js, this is taken care of for you.
  4. Make sure the servesStatic property is set to false in the config.json file.
  5. npm start or node server/index.js
