Imperial Entanglements

A database and VRE to support the Imperial Entanglements Project by Kirsty Hooper.

Building generates two directories:

• build : All of the TypeScript is transpiled to JavaScript and put here. Directory structure is identical to the root directory.
• dist: The binaries for the electron app are placed here.

How to deploy

• Clone git repo
• Run npm install
• Run npm run tsc to compile TypeScript
• Run npm run webpack to build the frontend bundle
• Run gulp
• Copy index.html from ./common to ./build/common
• Run node ./build/server/index

How to build sqlite3 for electron

cd .\node_modules\sqlite3
npm install nan --save
npm run prepublish
node-gyp configure --module_name=node_sqlite3 --module_path=../lib/binding/electron-v1.4-win32-x64
node-gyp rebuild --target=1.4.2 --arch=x64 --target_platform=win32 --dist-url=http://electron.atom.io/ --module_name=node_sqlite3 --module_path=../lib/binding/electron-v1.4-win32-x64

For the electron app to work:

• The 'index.html' file in the top level 'app' directory must be copied to the build/app directory
• A migrated & seeded mydb.sqlite file must be placed in the build/app directory
• For styling the app.css file in /build/static must be coped to build/app

Automating and streamlining this process will happen later in the project.
