Getting error when doing "npm run prod"

[yogeshgalav]

How can we use it on prod?

[ivictbor]

Hey @yogeshgalav thanks for your issue, why did you do "cd dist" before running npm run prod?

Also for best compatibility to get rid of any pain we recommend you to run AdminForth in Docker

Thanks for sharing the details.

Regarding the first error: it was most likely caused by running the app from inside dist. It is usually better to start it from the project root.

The second error looks like AdminForth fails during startup while validating custom components.

The stack trace points to custom component validation:

ConfigValidator.validateComponent -> ComponentFileExists

According to AdminForth docs, custom Vue components/assets are usually placed in the project custom directory and referenced with the @@/ prefix, for example @@/MyComponent.vue.

So this error may happen if AdminForth cannot resolve the custom components directory at runtime. Since the app was started from dist, please make sure that the custom components directory is also available in the deployed app and is resolved from the correct working directory.

Also please check that custom .vue files are copied/deployed together with the app, and that every custom component path points to an existing file. If you use customization.customComponentsDir, make sure it points to the correct directory.

If you can share a minimal/sanitized part of the config where custom components are configured, we can help identify the exact place more easily.

When running prod command from root we get this error "Error: Cannot find module 'C:..\admin\index.js'"
because it's index.ts

@ivictbor Also I wish to run it by npm or pnpm not docker, because I cannot afford more ram usage on prod server.
It would be more helpful if Readme instructions are more clear with npm, like what is command "pnpm setup-dev-demo" used for?
is it for every project or only for dev-demo

When do I need migrations? I'm using migrations from 7 years, but use of migration in this package is not clear to me.

1. only when first setuping the project
2. Before prod build as well
3. only if we are not using Adonisjs like functionality

@ivictbor It was cherishing to see that you yourself had made this detailed video. So much love.
First of all Thank you for making such a great product.
I understood all the technical points from your video but small request from product perspective:
Can you separate the section for Usage and Collaboration?
You can save so much energy from just updating the proper format of Readme

My only suggestion here is to target both noob developers with side project and enterprise project.
Like single env files and hardcoded admin creds would work fine as it is admin application.
and single npx command make sense for lot of node developers.
noob developers also doesn't need information about migrations otherwise they will get confuse.

I'm not facing any difficulty on windows or linux as of now, it works very well,
very smooth start and setup with help of AI.

But my directory structure is different from yours, will check and get back to you how and why it is so

We are using AdonisJs and we tried different admin packages like adminjs (customization caused issue) and React Admin(pure react code) but none of them satisfied our simple requirement so thank you once again for making our life easier.

May be you can make a seprate video on youtube,twitter with adonisjs and the framework founder will help you get more reach.

When I tried this following commands on windows cmd nothing happens.

npx adminforth create-app

or

npx adminforth create-app --app-name myadmin 

Expected output is directory or folder with adminforth app framework ready to be used or run and test.
