opex-template

Configure Dockerfile and environment variables.

Build Setup

This is a full stack application template. It contains a Node/Express server and a Nuxt/Vue frontend. Nuxt uses Server rendered pages (SSR) and we run it as a single page application (SPA). We found it a lot easier to develop the API using SPA mode.

After cloning the repo, create a .env file from the .env.TEMPLATE file.

• Authentication and Updatables are private npm packages and require an NPM_TOKEN to access.
• Database connections can be direct with GCP Cloud SQL with installed SSL certs. Those will need to be present and the production server's IP whitelisted.

Development

npm i
npm run dev

For detailed explanation on how things work, check out Nuxt.js docs. Built Using Cloud Native JS
