How to Build Front-End Web Apps that Scale

Dev Setup

To work most efficiently here are some ideas to help.

Your Console/Terminal

Have four terminal tabs or windows open. One for each of the following:

  1. In the BladeRunnerJS sdk directory that will run ./brjs serve
  2. A second in the BRJS sdk directory to run create-* and test ... commands
  3. Another in the BRJS sdk directory that will run ./brjs test-server --no-browser
  4. To be used for git ... commands. This will eventually be in apps/modularapp

Your Browser with Developer Tools

We recommend Google Chrome

Have three tabs open. One for each of the following:

  1. The workbench for the Blade you are currently building
  2. The application (default aspect) so you can see how your application looks
  3. A tab instance to execute your tests in the browser. Once the test server is running navigate to http://localhost:4224/capture

For all three tabs have the developer tools open. Have it set up to pause on exceptions.
