Technology Stack

It is being developed with the following technology stack:

Dependencies

The application makes use of node.js tools - node.js and it's package manager (npm) should be installed.

Developer Guide

Clone the repository and run npm install.
It is then recommended to run npm update, especially if there are npm WARN unmet dependency warnings when running npm install.
To start up a development instance of the webapp, run grunt serve (or npm start).

The code was scaffolded using angular-seed, as well as generator angular to add grunt support.

Coding Conventions

We use ESLint to check that our code adheres to Javascript best practises and coding style guidelines. Please configure lint to run before you commit. To do that, edit the following file in your local bsis-frontend Git respository: .git/hooks/pre-commit

#!/bin/bash
npm run lint

Git Commit Messages

Use the supplied Git commit message template to ensure that commit messages conform to the project standards. The first line of the commit message should contain a JIRA ticket reference and a short description of the commit (50 characters max). The following lines (72 characters max) should describe why the change is being made, what the problem was, and may contain external references if necessary.

In your BSIS Git repository folder, run the following command:

git config commit.template .git.template

This will set the git commit template for the local git repository only. If you'd like to set the template for all your Git repositories, then run the following command:

git config --global commit.template .git.template

Production Guide

To make use of the application in production, run grunt build, which compiles the code into the dist folder. The contents of this folder can be copied to the default root folder (e.g. /var/www/html) of a web server, such as Apache, and run in production.

Known Issues

EMFILE issue

On initial clone of the repo, when running npm install and using OS X, the following error may appear:

...
NodeJS error “EMFILE, too many open files”
...

This is caused by the code opening too many files at once. By default, OS X has a limit of 256 simultaneously opened files. To resolve this, run the following command in a terminal to increase the file limit:

$ ulimit -n 1024

Issue running grunt serve

Running grunt serve displays error message

-bash: grunt: command not found`.

Grunt should be installed globally using the following command:

$ sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
