# F-List Exported
|
|||
|
|
This repository contains the open source parts of F-list and F-Chat 3.0.
|
|||
|
|
All necessary files to build F-Chat 3.0 as an Electron, Cordova or web application are included.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Setting up a Dev Environment
|
|||
|
|
- Clone the repo
|
|||
|
|
- Install [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
|
|||
|
|
- Change into the cloned directory and run `yarn install`.
|
|||
|
|
- To build native Node assets, you will need to install Python 2.7 and the Visual C++ 2015 Build tools. [More information can be found in the node-gyp docs.](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation)
|
|||
|
|
- IntelliJ IDEA is recommended for development.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Building for Electron
|
|||
|
|
- Change into the `electron` directory.
|
|||
|
|
- Run `yarn install` and then `yarn build`/`yarn watch` to build assets. They are placed into the `app` directory.
|
|||
|
|
- You will probably need to rebuild the native dependencies (`spellchecker` and `keytar´) for electron. To do so, run `npm rebuild {NAME} --target={ELECTRON_VERSION} --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/electron`. [See the electron documentation for more info.](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules.md)
|
|||
|
|
- Run `yarn start` to start the app in debug mode. Use `Ctrl+Shift+I` to open the Chromium debugger.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Packaging
|
|||
|
|
See https://electron.atom.io/docs/tutorial/application-distribution/
|
|||
|
|
- Run `yarn build:dist` to create a minified production build.
|
|||
|
|
- Run `./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder` with [options specifying the platform you want to build for](https://www.electron.build/cli).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Building for Cordova
|
|||
|
|
- Change into the `cordova` directory.
|
|||
|
|
- Install Cordova using `yarn global add cordova`.
|
|||
|
|
- Run `yarn install`.
|
|||
|
|
- Create a `www` directory inside the `cordova` directory and then run `cordova prepare` to install dependencies.
|
|||
|
|
- Run `cordova requirements` to see whether all requirements for building are installed.
|
|||
|
|
- Run `yarn build`/`yarn watch` to build assets. They are placed into the `www` directory.
|
|||
|
|
- Run `cordova build`. For Android, the generated APK is now in `platforms/android/build/outputs/apk`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|||
|
|
Note: Adding *and upgrading* dependencies should only be done with prior consideration and subsequent testing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That's why `yarn.lock` exists and is version controlled.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To upgrade NPM dependencies, run `yarn upgrade` locally. Run `yarn outdated` to see pending upgrades.
