The package provides various commands that can be used with yarn:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `yarn start-dev` - to run in dev mode with Webpack dev server on port 9990. Autobuilds dev assets.
|
- `yarn start-dev` - to run in dev mode with Webpack dev server on port 9990. Autobuilds dev assets.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `yarn build` - to build production assets sw.js, ui.js
|
- `yarn start-docs` - to build assets in dev mode, and start docs in dev mode. Autobuilds /docs assets.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `yarn start-prod` - to run production site on port 9990, with previously built assets
|
- `yarn start-prod` - to run production site on port 9990, with previously built assets (without docs)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `yarn start-prod-docs` - to build production version of the site and build docs with `/docs` endpoint available.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `yarn start-electron` - to start electron in dev mode, with previously built assets
|
- `yarn start-electron` - to start electron in dev mode, with previously built assets
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `yarn build` - to build production assets sw.js, ui.js
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `yarn build-docs` - to build the docs site in `mkdocs/site` to `mkdocs/_genhtml`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `yarn dist` - to build production assets + Electron app (in dist/)
|
- `yarn dist` - to build production assets + Electron app (in dist/)

The static assets are placed in the root `index.html`, `sw.js` and `ui.js`, and can be used with any HTTP server.
|
### Static Site
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For service workers to work, they must be served from either localhost or an HTTPS endpoint.
|
The static assets are placed in the root `index.html`, `sw.js`, and `ui.js`, and can be used with any HTTP server. This provides the core ReplayWeb.page functionality.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Static Site + Docs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The full site with docs is built using MkDocs. Using the `yarn build-docs` command, the static assets are copied into `mkdocs/site/` and using Markdown in `mkdocs/site/docs`, the final static site is built to `mkdocs/_genhtml`. This is what is published to https://replayweb.page/ via CI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Service Worker Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that for the 'backend' service worker to work, the static site must be served from either localhost or an HTTPS endpoint.
|
||||||
|
This is browser security requirement and not much can be done to get around that.
