Development Environment Setup

Setting up your development environment is crucial for using CanInclude effectively. Follow these steps:

  • Install VSCode.
  • Install VSCode Remote Containers.
  • Clone the repository using the command:
  • git clone https://github.com/CyberLight/caninclude-v2
  • Navigate to the cloned project directory:
  • cd caninclude
  • Open the project in VSCode:
  • code .
  • A popup menu will appear; click on “Reopen in Container”.

CLI Commands

Once your environment is set up, you can use a series of CLI commands to manage and develop your application. Here are some essential commands:

  • Serve the web part with hot reload:

    Use this command to start the web and API parts of your application, allowing for easy development.

    npm run dev
  • Build for production:

    This command minifies your application for production readiness.

    npm run build
  • Test the production build locally:

    This command allows you to run the production build locally for testing.

    npm run serve
  • Launch linting:

    Linting helps maintain code quality by checking for potential errors in the project.

    npm run lint
  • Run the API server:

    This command will start the API server on localhost.

    npm run api:dev

Understanding the CLI Commands: An Analogy

Think of the CLI commands as a set of tools for a gardener. Just as a gardener uses various tools to plant seeds, tend to them, and prepare for harvest, you use CLI commands to shape your project. Each command serves a distinct purpose — some help you plant (or set up) your environment, while others cut back (or lint) anything that doesn’t belong, ensuring that your garden (project) grows beautifully.

Troubleshooting

Even the best projects can run into hiccups! Here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • **Issue with VSCode Remote Containers**: Make sure you’ve correctly installed the Remote Containers extension. Restart VSCode if needed.
  • **Command not found**: Ensure you’re in the correct directory and that your Node.js and npm are properly installed.
  • **API not accessible**: Check your proxy settings and ensure that your server is running.
