How to build the static content

Background

We are using parcel to bundle html, javascript, css. It is generating the smallest possible subset of js code of our dependent libraries to be deployed on production server. This improves performance and stores libraries on our server instead of third party servers.

Prerequisites

• Install node.js ( Tested with node 12.18.3 and npm 6.14.8 )

Steps

1. cd to subdirectory html
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run pretest to run linter
4. Run npm start to start development server on port 1234
5. Run npm run build to produce packed html / js / css / static js files in dist subdirectory
6. Copy contents of dist folder to production http server
