# Creating a new App
|
|
|
|
## Install Frappe.js
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
yarn add frappejs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
FrappeJS comes with an Express Server on the backend, VueJS for the front-end and a CLI to run these things with built-in webpack configs.
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
FrappeJS requires a file named `frappe.conf.js` to be present in the root of your directory. Minimum configuration looks like:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
module.exports = {
|
|
staticPath: './static', // uploaded files are served from this directory
|
|
distPath: './dist', // bundled assets are built and served here
|
|
dev: {
|
|
// your client side entry files
|
|
entry: {
|
|
app: './src/main.js'
|
|
},
|
|
outputDir: './dist',
|
|
assetsPublicPath: '/',
|
|
devServerPort: 8000,
|
|
env: {
|
|
PORT: process.env.PORT || 8000
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
node: {
|
|
paths: {
|
|
main: 'server/index.js' // your server entry file
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
electron: {
|
|
// wip
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You also need an `index.html` located in the `src` directory. It can look like
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
|
<html lang="en">
|
|
<head>
|
|
<meta charset="UTF-8">
|
|
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
|
|
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
|
|
<title>My Awesome App</title>
|
|
</head>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<div id="app"></div>
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Server
|
|
|
|
Assuming you have a `server/index.js` file, you can start the frappejs server in just a few lines of code.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const server = require('frappejs/server');
|
|
|
|
server.start({
|
|
backend: 'sqlite',
|
|
connection_params: {
|
|
db_path: 'test.db'
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Client
|
|
|
|
In your client file you will have to initialize `frappe` and `models`.
|
|
|
|
`frappejs/client` lib will initialize your server and user interface with the Desk.
|
|
|
|
Example starting point for an app:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
|
|
import frappe from 'frappejs';
|
|
import io from 'socket.io-client';
|
|
import HTTPClient from 'frappejs/backends/http';
|
|
import common from 'frappejs/common';
|
|
import coreModels from 'frappejs/models';
|
|
|
|
frappe.init();
|
|
frappe.registerLibs(common);
|
|
frappe.registerModels(coreModels);
|
|
|
|
const server = 'localhost:8000';
|
|
frappe.fetch = window.fetch.bind();
|
|
frappe.db = new HTTPClient({ server });
|
|
const socket = io.connect(`http://${server}`);
|
|
frappe.db.bindSocketClient(socket);
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Start
|
|
|
|
To start the server and build webpack simultaneously you can use the cli command
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./node_modules/.bin/frappe start
|
|
```
