How to compile

To compile LaserWeb4 you need to install nodejs 10.16.3 and do the following steps:

• Clone lw.comm-server branch master
• Run npm install
• Test if node server.js works
• Clone LaserWeb4 branch dev-es6
• Run npm run installdev
• Run npm run start-app for frontend testing. This does a webpack compile and starts a browser on localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/. (it takes some time until webpack compile is ready!)

After updating something on the frontend:

Run npm run bundle-dev in the LaserWeb4 folder. This creates the webpack files in the dist folder, which can then be copied over to the app folder of lw.comm-server (embeded website). Instead of manual copying you can run the script npm run update_lw4 in the lw.comm-server folder (needs bash console for ncp command).

Thisa should give you at least a start point.
