Developing Locally

Instructions for running BloomBus-Server code in a dev environment.

After cloning the repository and running npm install, the server can be started by running npm start. The server will serve the production version of the admin dashboard located in /client/build/ over port 8080 and the REST API services at /api/*.

To run the dev server to work on the admin dashboard with live-reloading (recommended), first start up BloomBus-Server at the root, then enter the /client directory and run npm start. The dev server will launch over port 3000, and as specified in the package.json in the client directory all requests will be forwarded via proxy to port 8080.
