The project is a simple automotive blog/news site created with Aurelia.js framework, partly based on a bootstrap template that I modified and enhanced to meet the necessary conditions.

Created for "Web Application Technologies" conducted by Marek Konieczny at AGH UST. ​

Outside of the project scaffolding, it is built mostly with aurelia components that I explained thoroughly during my presentation. It also contains a simple javascript code made with promises, simulating the work that should be done by the back-end. It holds the entry posts, allows us to use specific functions to operate on them and supports a basic authorisation protocol. Because of the fact that back-end is faked, the site is not persistent and won't save any information after refresh. I may refactor the code to use localStorage in the future, so the functionality gets a bit better.​

This project is bootstrapped by aurelia-cli.

For more information, go to https://aurelia.io/docs/cli/webpack

Run dev app

Run npm start, then open https://localhost:8080

You can change the standard webpack configurations from CLI easily with something like this: npm start -- --open --port 8888. However, it is better to change the respective npm scripts or webpack.config.js with these options, as per your need.

To enable Webpack Bundle Analyzer, do npm run analyze (production build).

To enable hot module reload, do npm start -- --hmr.

To change dev server port, do npm start -- --port 8888.

To change dev server host, do npm start -- --host 127.0.0.1

PS: You could mix all the flags as well, npm start -- --host 127.0.0.1 --port 7070 --open --hmr

For long time aurelia-cli user, you can still use au run with those arguments like au run --env prod --open --hmr. But au run now simply executes npm start command.

Build for production

Run npm run build, or the old way au build --env prod.
