Serve Dev Mode
1. Compile and Serve EJS2
After all dependencies have been installed by running the yarn command, you will be able to serve the application in developer mode. To do this, simply run the following command in terminal, from the elentra-2x-js directory:
Some text will appear in the terminal as the serve process initializes, along with a percentage progress indicator. Once the process finishes you should see something similar to the following:
2. Modify Elentra Developer .env
Navigate to ~/Documents/elentra-developer and edit the .env file
3. Restart the Docker Container
4. Confirm EJS2 is Up and Running
Elentra JS is now being served in development mode. In ME 1.16 or higher, you can confirm by visiting http://elentra-1x-me.localhost/sandbox. The updated Sandbox module allows you to perform CRUD operations for a series of Cards, all making use of Elentra JS 2.0.
Any saved edits made within files located in the Elentra JS Design System (or any of the EJS modules) while the app is served in development mode will now cause an automatic recompilation of the files, enabling hot-reloading.
You can exit development mode by cancelling the actively running operation from terminal. On macOS, the shortcut for this in most shells is Ctrl-C.
You will need to run the yarn serve command from within ~/Sites/elentra-2x-js directory moving forward, anytime you need to:
Run EJS2 Modules locally (Sandbox, Notices Management)
Make changes to any EJS2 modules
Create new EJS2 Modules
Compiling VueJS/Typescript code to plain JavaScript is a standard procedure in the development process.
