PrepGUI

PrepGUI is a simple web frontend for the elasticsearch index which is part of the DNS Presentation Repository. It is based on AngularJS and is purely implemented in Javascript/HTML.

The URL to the elasticsearch index can be configured in app/js/services.js.

Running the app during development

You can pick one of these options:

• serve this repository with your webserver
• install node.js and run scripts/web-server.js

Then navigate your browser to http://localhost:<port>/app/index.html to see the app running in your browser.

Running the app in production

This really depends on how complex is your app and the overall infrastructure of your system, but the general rule is that all you need in production are all the files under the app/ directory. Everything else should be omitted.

Angular apps are really just a bunch of static html, css and js files that just need to be hosted somewhere, where they can be accessed by browsers.

If your Angular app is talking to the backend server via xhr or other means, you need to figure out what is the best way to host the static files to comply with the same origin policy if applicable. Usually this is done by hosting the files by the backend server or through reverse-proxying the backend server(s) and a webserver(s).
