gamification-addon

An addon to expose gamification features

Installation

Addon can be installed with addon manager : in eXo Platform folder :

./addon install exo-gamification 

Overview

The goals of development and production builds differ greatly. In development, we want strong source mapping and a localhost server with live reloading or hot module replacement. In production, our goals shift to a focus on minified bundles, lighter weight source maps, and optimized assets to improve load time.

We will write separate webpack configurations for each environment.

We will have 3 configurtions :

• production
• development
• common

With the "common" configuration in place, we won’t have to duplicate code within the environment-specific configurations.

In order to merge these configurations together, we’ll use a utility called webpack-merge

Steps

Install webpack-merge

                $ npm install --save-dev webpack-merge

Why Babel

Needed to transpiler edge JavaScript into plain old ES5 JavaScript that can run in any browser (even the old ones).

babel-core:

contains the core API.

babel-preset-env: .

automatically determines the Babel plugins and polyfills you need based on your targeted browser or runtime environments.

babel-preset-stage-3: any transforms in stage-x presets are changes to the language that haven’t been approved to be part of a release of Javascript (such as ES6/ES2015).

Install babel required modules

npm install --save-dev babel-core babel-preset-env babel-preset-stage-3

Tip: "npm i -D"

is a shorter alias for:

              npm install-save-dev

What is a Babel preset?

In Babel, a preset is a set of plugins used to support particular language features.

To configure babel you have to create the following file .babelrc

Why webpack

Installation webpack

We will be using the following Webpack libraries:

webpack

webpack-cli:

encapsulates all code related to command line interface handling.

webpack-dev-server:

serves a webpack app and updates the browser on changes.

       npm install --save-dev webpack webpack-cli webpack-dev-server
