Running a demo project
The Alfresco application development framework comes with a demo project that you can run to get a feel for what's available.
- Start by navigating into the app development framework source folder, and then the script folder:
cd alfresco-ng2-components
cd scripts
Start using published components
This is recommended if you are running from the master branch.
Start the demo-shell app after installing all the dependencies from npm (Note. do it this way only the first time, and be aware, it will take some time)
./start.sh -install
Or, if you have previously run -install but want to update the dependencies, use -update
./start.sh -update
If there are no big changes in the demo-shell since you last started then you can start without -install and -update to skip fetching packages, which should be much quicker
./start.sh
If you get errors when starting which do not go away with -update or -install, or if you want to test starting the demo shell from a clean environment, then use the -cleanInstall option
This will remove previous versions of all packages, before running npm install again
./start.sh -cleanInstall
Start using linked components
This is recommended if you are using the development branch or a feature branch off development
- If you want to use your local components use the following script with any of the previous option. It will npm link all the components in the demo shell:
./start-linked.sh
For development environment configuration please refer to project docs.
