The repository includes a grunt configuration for setting up a local server, preconfigured with:

• proxying to the backend running on the development server
• url rewriting for AngularJS' HTML5 mode
• live reloading

You need the following components in order for the local server to work:

• NodeJS
• Grunt

To install the necessary dependencies run the following command in the working directory:

npm install

The static files representing the project pages are stored in the directory con10t. The repository comes preconfigured with the Arachne project pages configured as a git submodule.

In order to set up the submodule you have to run the following commands after the initial checkout:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Subsequent updates can be loaded by running git pull inside the directory con10t.

In order to run the frontend in the development server use the following command:

grunt server

After that you should be able to access the frontend under http://localhost:1234/.

Any changes made to HTML, CSS or JS files should automatically trigger a browser reload.

In order for AngularJS' HTML5 mode to work use the following configurations:

server {
        listen   80;
        root /usr/share/nginx/www;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404;
}

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond $1#%{REQUEST_URI} ([^#]*)#(.*)\1$
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %2index.html [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
