Landing page of the application:

Products page to search for products from different sellers:

Prerequisites

Both for the front end and the back end check:

• nodejs official website - nodejs includes npm (node package manager)

Getting Started

To get you started you can simply clone the Internal-CraftWorks-Frontend repository and install all its dependencies:

Prerequisites

You need git to clone the Internal-CraftWorks-Frontend repository. You can get git from http://git-scm.com/.

We also use a number of node.js tools to initialize and test Internal-CraftWorks-Frontend . You must have node.js and its package manager (npm) installed. You can get them from http://nodejs.org/.

Clone CraftWorks Project

Clone the Internal-CraftWorks-Frontend repository using git:

git clone https://github.com/pulakchakraborty/Internal-CraftWorks-Frontend
cd Internal-CraftWorks-Frontend

If you just want to start a new project without the Internal-CraftWorks-Frontend commit history then you can do:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/pulakchakraborty/Internal-CraftWorks-Frontend <your-project-name>

The depth=1 tells git to only pull down one commit worth of historical data.

In case you would like to try the application without a server you can use the branch

git clone -b serverless --depth=1 https://github.com/pulakchakraborty/Internal-CraftWorks-Frontend <your-project-name>

Install Dependencies

We get the tools we depend upon via npm, the node package manager.

npm install

Create a Bundle for the Application

This project use webpack version 1 for creating a bundle of the application and its dependencies

We have pre-configured npm to automatically run webpack so we can simply do:

npm run build

Behind the scenes this will call webpack --config webpack.config.js . After, you should find that you have one new folder in your project.

• dist - contains all the files of your application and their dependencies.

Run the Application

Note: Before running make sure that both the frontend and backend repositories are under a common root folder and named as it is. Otherwise the image uploads will not work. So the directory structure would be the following

/CraftWorks Webapp
    /Internal-CraftWorks-Frontend
    /Internal-CraftWorks-Backend

We have preconfigured the project with a simple development web server. The simplest way to start this server is:

npm start

We have configured the project to run a development server which would continuously look for changes in the code. The simplest way to start this server is:

npm run dev

Now browse to the app at http://localhost:8080/#!/

You can use the already existing user with the following credentials to browse through the application or create your own account.
