The cobudget frontend needs to know where to find the backend. Currently it's configured for three different backends:
development: Will connect to a backend running locally on your development machine.staging: Will connect to the backend running on the current cobudget staging server.production: Will connect to the backend running on the current cobudget production server.
Choose which backend to connect to using the environment variable NODE_ENV
$ export NODE_ENV=staging
If NODE_ENV is not set it will default to using development
The actual connection strings is placed in the js files in the config directory
Build and start server using live reload: npm run develop
Build once and start static server: npm start
Connect to the front end on http://localhost:9000
The deployment to production and stage is done by pushing to github pages.
First configure git to remember deploy destinations. This is only needed once.
For stage: npm run set-remote-stage
For production: npm run set-remote
Deploy to stage: npm run stage
The deployed frontend will be configured to connect to the backend stage environment.
Deploy to production: npm run deploy
The deployed frontend will be configured to connect to the backend production environment.
