Loop Client

Prerequisites

NodeJS and npm installed.

Installation

Fetch and install/build any NPM dependencies:

$ make install

Configuration

If you need a static config.js file for deployment (most people wont; only folks deploying the development server will!), you can generate one like this:

$ make config

It will read the configuration from the following env variables and generate the appropriate configuration file:

• LOOP_SERVER_URL defines the root url of the loop server, without trailing slash (default: http://localhost:5000).
• LOOP_FEEDBACK_API_URL sets the root URL for the input API; defaults to the input stage server (https://input.allizom.org/api/v1/feedback). Don't forget to set this value to the production server URL when deploying to production.
• LOOP_FEEDBACK_PRODUCT_NAME defines the product name to be sent to the input API (defaults: Loop).

Usage

For development, run a local static file server:

$ make runserver

Then point your browser at:

• http://localhost:3000/content/ for all public webapp contents,
• http://localhost:3000/test/ for tests.

Note: the provided static file server for web contents is not intended for production use.
