Minimal nodejs express server to publish html static SPA webpage which is the result of npm run build command on your projects :react, angulas, vue ,etc and inject security and settings to your bundle
- Static server for your builded assests from any framework like vue, angular, react. etc
- Forget about security when your are developing in any javascript framework, because the geofrontend server will manage it.
- By default, basic authentication is ready to use.
- How to keep one javascript build across several environments? Let me think.. Yeah geofrontend server will publish and /settings.json http endpoint with custom configuration for your web.
In order to publish your static assets, you could choose one of these modes:
GeoFrontend server as npm module
GeoFrontend server as standalone
The following steps are tested in Linux environments. For windows check this guide
Just add the dependency:
npm install utec/geofrontend-server#master --save
Add an entry in your scripts:
"scripts": {
"start": "geofrontend-server -config=./application.json -bundle=./build"
}Create a file called application.json inside of your application, based on application.json.template
Export these values:
export AUTH_USER=jane
export AUTH_PASSWORD=doe
export PORT=8080
export LOG_PATH=/tmp/app.log
export LOG_LEVEL=infoBuild your app with npm run build
And just run with: npm run start
Go to your browser an enter to http://localhost:8080 and a popup will prompt you asking the credentials.
It is assumed that your application has an command called build and the result of that is stored in public folder. Just change it according to your real scenario
- Clone this repository
- Execute npm run build or any command required to build your application.
- Move all your static files (html, css, js, img) into build folder. index.html file must exist. You could use the index.html in sample folder.
- Rename the default application.json.template to application.json
- Install node libraries :
npm install
Export these values:
export AUTH_USER=jane
export AUTH_PASSWORD=doe
export PORT=8080
export LOG_PATH=/tmp/app.log
export LOG_LEVEL=infoAnd just run with: npm run start
Go to your browser an enter to http://localhost:8080 and a popup will prompt you asking the credentials.
- What is application.json
- What is settings.json
- Mock settings.json with Webpack
- How create custom security
- Enable welcome page
- Use an advanced session store (i.e redis, mongo.) instead express default memory.
- Add https://github.com/jrichardsz/dependency-injection-4nodejs
- Unit tests
