I just recently started using gitlab CI to automate some build/deploy steps. It works perfectly to build docker images etc, but I was wondering if it's possible to create a folder in the repository during a build step? For example I'm now making an npm utility package, but I'm just importing it in my other projects via a private gitlab repo (using deploy token), but the code of the util package is written in es6 and needs to be transpiled to commonJS to be used in the other packages. Manually I can run npm run build and it will output a dist folder with the transpiled code.
I was trying (and researching) if it's possible to automate this build process using .gitlab-ci but so far I couldn't find anything.
Anyone know how I can achieve this and/or if this is possible?
Thanks in advance!
Not sure if I got your question correctly, so add more details if not.
When your CI build creates new folders or files, they are written to the task runner's file system (no surprise here, I assume).
If you want to access these files from Gitlab's web UI you can define them as artifacts in your build job (see https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pipelines/job_artifacts.html)
Your build job would look something like that (pseudo code written by memory, not tested on Gitlab):
build:
script:
- npm run build
artifacts:
paths:
- dist/
expire_in: 1 week
UPDATE If you want to upload the build artifact to an NPM registry, you could just build and push together.
build:
script:
- npm run build
- npm publish <PARAMETERS>
Is it possible to deploy nuxt-js spa project in shared hosting like hostgator through cpanel?
I have tried several time to run below command, it's generate dist folder but didn't work.
My command: npm run build
Can you help me please?
npm run build
Builds files for `npm run start` serving. And looks like you want it to be static files, which you just upload to hosting. So you should run:
npm run generate
then in `/dist/` you will find static spa.
After installing vue cli globally by running npm install -g vue-cli, I have installed all the modules in the project folder "myBlog" by running npm install and can run the project in my local environment by using npm run dev. But when I am going to move this project in the live server is this is the right way to run the batch program (npm run dev) continuously or there are other ways to run the project without running npm run dev continuously?
It's not Vue specific but you also should be able to run npm run build which generates production bundles in /dist subfolder of your project. You are supposed to copy this folder to the production server and configure the server so that it serves dist/index.html for every URL.
If you are using the "webpack", "webpack-simple" or "pwa" template there is a dedicated command for creating the production build, which allows a static hosting (with no need to run any npm process in the server):
npm run build
It will create a dist folder which content you can upload to the root of your server.
Some more info about:
"webpack" template:
https://vuejs-templates.github.io/webpack/commands.html#npm-run-build
"webpack-simple":
https://github.com/vuejs-templates/webpack-simple#webpack-simple
"pwa": https://github.com/vuejs-templates/pwa#whats-included
Very simple. To launch a VueJs project, you must type "npm run serve".
I am using webpack-simple template for development with vue-js 2. I am using routing throug vue-router. It works fine in the development mode
npm run dev
After building, I got build.js in the dist folder using the below command
npm run build
With index.html and dist folder, I try to run the project but fail. No error found in the console also
What should I do after developing a Vue app with vue-cli?
In Angular there was some command that bundle all the scripts into one single script.
Is there something the same in Vue?
I think you've created your project like this:
vue init webpack myproject
Well, now you can run
npm run build
Copy index.html and /dist/ folder into your website root directory. Done.
If you've created your project using:
vue init webpack myproject
You'd need to set your NODE_ENV to production and run, because the project has web pack configured for both development and production:
NODE_ENV=production npm run build
Copy dist/ directory into your website root directory.
If you're deploying with Docker, you'd need an express server, serving the dist/ directory.
Dockerfile
FROM node:carbon
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
ADD . /usr/src/app
RUN npm install
ENV NODE_ENV=production
RUN npm run build
# Remove unused directories
RUN rm -rf ./src
RUN rm -rf ./build
# Port to expose
EXPOSE 8080
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]
in your terminal
npm run build
and you host the dist folder. for more see this video
To deploy your application to prod environment add
"build": "vue-cli-service build --mode prod"
in your scripts in package.json file.
Open your main.js and add
Vue.config.productionTip = false;
right after your imports.
Then open your cli in the project folder and run this command
npm run build
This will make a dist folder in your project directory you may upload that dist folder in your host and your website will be live
If you run into problems with your path, maybe you need to change the assetPublicPath in your config/index.js file to your sub-directory:
http://vuejs-templates.github.io/webpack/backend.html
The vue documentation provides a lot of information on this on how you can deploy to different host providers.
npm run build
You can find this from the package json file. scripts section. It provides scripts for testing and development and building for production.
You can use services such as netlify which will bundle your project by linking up your github repo of the project from their site. It also provides information on how to deploy on other sites such as heroku.
You can find more details on this here
The commands for what specific codes to run are listed inside your package.json file under scripts. Here is an example of mine:
"scripts": {
"serve": "vue-cli-service serve",
"build": "vue-cli-service build",
"lint": "vue-cli-service lint"
},
If you are looking to run your site locally, you can test it with
npm serve
If you are looking to prep your site for production, you would use
npm build
This command will generate a dist folder that has a compressed version of your site.
THIS IS FOR DEPLOYING TO A CUSTOM FOLDER (if you wanted your app not in root, e.g.
URL/myApp/) - I looked for a longtime to find this answer...hope it helps someone.
Get the VUE CLI at https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/ and use the UI build to make it easy. Then in configuration you can change the public path to /whatever/ and link to it URL/whatever.
Check out this video which explains how to create a vue app using CLI if u need more help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy9q22isx3U
For NPM => npm run Build
For Yarn => yarn run build
You also can check scripts in package.json file
You write down the below command being at the project root.
npm run build
First Install Vue Cli Globally
npm install -g #vue/cli
To create a new project, run:
vue create project-name
run vue
npm run serve
Vue CLI >= 3 uses the same vue binary, so it overwrites Vue CLI 2 (vue-cli). If you still need the legacy vue init functionality, you can install a global bridge:
Vue Init Globally
npm install -g #vue/cli-init
vue init now works exactly the same as vue-cli#2.x
Vue Create App
vue init webpack my-project
Run developer server
npm run dev
This command is for start the development server :
npm run dev
Where this command is for the production build :
npm run build
Make sure to look and go inside the generated folder called 'dist'.
Then start push all those files to your server.
One way to do this without using VUE-CLI is to bundle the all script files into one fat js file and then reference that big fat javascript file into main template file.
I prefer to use webpack as a bundler and create a webpack.conig.js in the root directory of project. All the configs such as entry point, output file, loaders, etc.. are all stored in that config file. After that, I add a script in package.json file that uses webpack.config.js file for webpack configs and start watching files and create a Js bundled file into mentioned location in webpack.config.js file.
I think you can use vue-cli
If you are using Vue CLI along with a backend framework that handles static assets as part of its deployment, all you need to do is making sure Vue CLI generates the built files in the correct location, and then follow the deployment instruction of your backend framework.
If you are developing your frontend app separately from your backend - i.e. your backend exposes an API for your frontend to talk to, then your frontend is essentially a purely static app. You can deploy the built content in the dist directory to any static file server, but make sure to set the correct baseUrl
npm run build - this will uglify and minify the codes
save index.html and dist folder in root directory of your website.
free hosting service that you might be interested in -- Firebase hosting.
if you used vue-cli and webpack when you created your project.
you can use just
npm run build command in command line, and it will create dist folder in your project. Just upload content of this folder to your ftp and done.
If you are using npm u can use npm run build but if you are using yarn you can simply run yarn build
If you want to create a build for a domain, you can use the $ npm run build command.
If you're going to build for a sub-domain, follow these instructions:
Create a file that's name is vue.config.js in the root
Write down the below code in the vue.config.js file:
module.export = {
publicPath: '/demo-project',
}
Now run $ npm run build
Note: Use your subdomain name instead of "/demo-project".
If you want to build and send to your remote server you can use cli-service (https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/cli-service.html) you can create tasks to serve, build and one to deploy with some specific plugins as vue-cli-plugin-s3-deploy
