This guide is for users who want to build and deploy a frontend application such as Vue.js, React, etc.
The folder where the frontend files are built should not be sent. You can do so by creating a .openodeignore file with the folder name, for example for Vue.js:
dist/
For React:
build/
Further, your .gitignore should include .openode which contains the openode credentials:
.openode
In the following example, we will create a Dockerfile to build a React/Vue.js application. It includes http-server which is a convenient way to serve the frontend files, by simply specifying the folder containing the frontend files.
FROM node:12-alpine
WORKDIR /opt/app
ENV PORT=80
RUN npm install -g http-server
# Install app dependencies
# A wildcard is used to ensure both package.json AND package-lock.json are copied
# where available (npm@5+)
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
# Bundle app source
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
CMD [ "http-server", "dist" ]
Note that for React, the last line needs to be CMD [ "http-server", "build" ].
We made a sample project using this Dockerfile and Vue.js.
