loklak webclient

Web client for loklak server (see: https://github.com/loklak/loklak_server ). To use the loklak webclient, you need a running loklak server. Install and run it first.

Dev

  1. Clone this repo from https://github.com/loklak/loklak_webclient.git
  2. Create your custom settings file by using cp configFile.json custom_configFile.json. Edit your settings inside custom_configFile.json.
  3. Run npm install from the root directory
  4. Run gulp dev (may require installing Gulp globally npm install gulp -g)
  5. Your browser will automatically be opened and directed to the browser-sync proxy address
  6. To prepare assets for production, run the gulp prod task (Note: the production task does not fire up the express server, and won't provide you with browser-sync's live reloading. Simply use gulp dev during development. More information below)

Now that gulp dev is running, the server is up as well and serving files from the /build directory. Any changes in the /app directory will be automatically processed by Gulp and the changes will be injected to any open browsers pointed at the proxy address.

Config

Set the apiUrl var in custom_configFile.json to set the server address in apiUrl Set the domain var in custom_configFile.json to set the domain where site is hosted in domain

Troubleshooting

  • On *nix based systems (latest Ubuntu, Fedora version) you might get an Error: watch ENOSPC when running gulp dev. To fix, check this post on Stackoverflow.
