This repository is now part of https://github.com/alarmdisplay/display
This is the web application, that runs on each Display unit. The app maintains a Socket.IO connection to the Display Backend to get its configuration and data updates.
In order to run a development version on your local system, you need a Node.js environment.
Clone the repository and run npm install inside the project folder to install all the dependencies.
Start the development server by running npm run serve, it will automatically restart when files have changed.
Now you can access the server on http://localhost:8080 (may be a different port on your system, check the console output).
If you run a development server of Display Backend on http://localhost:3031, the requests are automatically proxied there.
This allows for parallel development of the frontend and the backend.
This project uses the following libraries or frameworks, please refer to their documentation as well.
Run npm run build, which compiles and minifies the app for production.
You find the result of the build process in a folder called dist.
This folder only contains HTML, CSS, and JS files, which means they can be hosted as static files.
By default, the app expects to be accessible under the path /display/.
You can change this behaviour by adapting the publicPath in vue.config.js.
