PayRunIO.Demo.UI

The demo is written as a node app, with a thin client written in handlebars and styling written with sass.

To get started/setup:

1. Run node -v and ensure you have at least node v9.6.0 installed.
2. Run npm install --dev to install all the npm package dependencies. When installing in production omit the --dev flag.
3. Run node app.js this will startup the server, which will default to run on port 3000. This can be set to an explicit port by running node app.js -p 80 which will run the app up on port 80.

Scripts

All scripts rely on local npm modules therefore run npm install before running the below scripts:

npm run watch

Will run the up the node server, listen on port 3000 and watch the following file types for changes. If a change is detected it will restart the server.

• *.js
• *.hbs
• *.scss

npm run test

Will run all spec unit tests in jasmine.

npm run lint

Runs eslint in ./. Note the three .eslintrc.json configs in:

• ./
• ./content/js
• ./spec
