Web arena for SRMs

Arena Web

Overview

[topcoder] Arena for Single Round Match contests. Lightweight html/css/js interface built on angular and bootstrap. Single-page, responsive design approach.

Getting Setup

To develop arena-web you'll need npm (installed as part of node). Then globally install bower and the grunt-cli:

Please execute following under root account or use sudo

npm install -g bower
npm install -g grunt-cli

Then clone this repo. Then to get all dependencies simply run:

npm install

App Structure

Do all development in the app directory. Within that directory:

• Put custom css in css/app.css
• Put all images in img/
• Put all javascript code in js using whatever structure you want, but be sure everything is linked to js/app.js. This file is the main entry point for the app.

Configuration

Even though this is a client-side app, we still try to follow 12factor. As such as configuration variables are expected to be set as environment variables. The values will be substituted into the app/js/config.js file on build.

Build and Release

Source the environment variables:

source config/dev-local.sh

To build the client side app run:

grunt

This will perform the following tasks:

1. Clean the build directory.
2. Populate config.js with the environment variables.
3. Package all the JS code into a single file using Browserify and put it in build/js/bundle.js.
4. Package and minify all css code into a single file using the cssmin grunt plugin, and put it in build/css/bundle.css.
5. Copy all html and image file over to build.

To release the app run:

grunt release

Release is similar to build, but it works out of the build directory and minifies all the javascript. It copies everything to release.

To use jslint validate the js files:

grunt jslint

This will validate all js files by grunt-contrib-jshint .

Run the App

http-server, a simple static webserver, is one of the dev dependencies. To serve the app from the build directory on port 3000 on localhost simply use:

npm start
