Build Commands

All build commands are executed via NPM Scripts. Some major commands are listed below. For more, please refer to package.json and gulpfile.js.

`npm run dev`

Starts a Node.js local development server. See API Proxying During Development for more details.

Production ready build.

Make deployment more convenient.

To use these commands, you need to rename config-example.js as config.js and change content according to your ssh accout. Please be informed of that config.js is added to .gitignore by default, so you do not need to care about pushing private information to your remote repository.
Whenever you want to deploy your files under dist folder to the server, just run command npm run deployToTestServer / npm run deployToProductionServer, and wait. That's all.

A convenient command.

When you want to run npm run build, and run npm run deployToTestServer / npm run deployToProductionServer after completion of the former command, you can just run npm run buildAndDeployToTestServer / npm run buildAndDeployToProductionServer instead. It's just a sugar command.

Minify images.

This IO operation is often not a high-frequency operation and is time consuming, so it was not defined in the filed "scripts" in file package.json or integrated in commands such as npm run dev or npm run build. What's more, in order to keep source images, source images will be backed up before they are compressed.

Zip files to deploy.

If you need to zip your files to a single .zip file, and delivery it to other people, you can run this command, and a .zip file will be generated in zip folder in the project root path. All files under dist folder (dist folder itself is not included) will be included.
