## What's in this repo
ReplayWeb.page is a static web site / offline web app + Electron app.
This repository contains the frontend UI for the replay system, while the backend is provided via a service worker
implementation found at: https://github.com/webrecorder/wabac.js
The frontend is loaded from `ui.js`, while the backend service/web worker is loaded from `sw.js`.
This repository contains:
- The built assets for the site hosted at https://replayweb.page/ via GitHub Pages
- The package for npm module: https://www.npmjs.com/package/replaywebpage
- A build system for https://replayweb.page and ReplayWeb.page App.
- Docs hosted at: https://replayweb.page/docs
- App releases at: https://github.com/webrecorder/replayweb.page/releases
## Running ReplayWeb.page
To run ReplayWeb.page and view web archives, a regular HTTP server is all that is needed.
ReplayWeb.page can run with any HTTP server locally. For example, you can run `http-server -p 9990` or `python -m http.server 9990` to run a static web server in the directory of this repository. Then, simply load `http://localhost:9990/` and you'll have replayweb.page running locally.
## Developing ReplayWeb.page
ReplayWeb.page is built as a Node package can be installed using yarn:
`yarn install`
It is also a Jekyll site for use with GitHub pages. Jekyll is only needed to build the docs.
The package provides various commands that can be used with yarn:
- `yarn run start-dev` - to run in dev mode with Webpack dev server on port 9990. Autobuilds dev assets.
- `yarn run build` - to build production assets sw.js, ui.js
- `yarn run start-prod` - to run production site on port 9990, with previously built assets
- `yarn run start-electron` - to start electron in dev mode, with previously built assets
- `yarn run dist` - to build production assets + Electron app (in dist/)
- `yarn run build-docs` - to build the Jekyll docs (for local use) and run Jekyll. Requires Ruby.
- `yarn run start-jekyll` - to build Jekyll docs and start Jekyll static server on port 4000.
The static assets are placed in the root `index.html`, `sw.js` and `ui.js`, and can be used with any HTTP server.
For service workers to work, they must be served from either localhost or an HTTPS endpoint.
