Front end assets for the Tax platform

Using service-manager

Unless you're making changes to the frontend assets, you'll most likely be using service-manager to serve assets to your frontends. The ASSETS_FRONTEND service is responsible for serving released artifacts and can be started with:

$ sm --start ASSETS_FRONTEND

Development

Requirements

• node.js
• grunt

Running with Grunt (Development mode)

The command below will kick off a local node.js server on a predefined port(9032). This serves the assets with sourcemaps via the grunt task runner.

$ ./server dev

Running Frontend Tests

The grunt Karma test runner is used to run our frontend tests with the command:

$ ./server test

Running the Frontend build

Compiles the assets for production.

$ ./server build
