Wildbook

Frontend Setup

The frontend is currently split between native tomcat functions, jsp pages, and a react app. New development is targeting a full react app rewrite. This setup is focused on the react specific requirements. However, you must do the full system setup referenced in the development README for these to work.

Build and deploy react-only changes

If you are working on react-only work, you can test your changes without updating the full war file.

Use npm to build and deploy to your local deployment

If you have your dev environment set up correctly, this will build the React app and copy it into your local deployment directory for you.

1. cd to REPO/frontend/
2. run npm run deploy-dev
3. refresh your browser page by visiting either http://localhost:81/react/ for local testing or https://public.url.example.com/react/ for the public-facing deployment

Manually build and deploy

1. cd to REPO/frontend/ and run npm run build
2. copy everything under frontend/build/ to the deployed wildbook/react/ directory you created during setup
3. refresh your browser page by visiting either http://localhost:81/react/ for local testing or https://public.url.example.com/react/ for the public-facing deployment
