Combat tracker for Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) 5th Edition

The official Improved Initiative app lives at https://www.improved-initiative.com

Local Development

Requirements

Setup

  • Clone the repo to a folder on your computer
  • Open the cloned folder in a code editor such as Visual Studio Code
  • Open a terminal window (Powershell is the recommend terminal application for this project)
  • Run the following commands in the Terminal window to build the dev environment code:
npm install
npx grunt
  • To get the dev server running, you can either:
    • Press F5 in Visual Studio Code or
    • In a new terminal window run npm run start
  • Once the server is running, visit http://localhost in a web browser to view a development version of the UI that responds to your code changes.
  • Every time you make a change, wait for it to finish compiling then manually reload your browser.

Development of Improved Initiative is supported through Patreon.

To learn more about how to contribute code to Improved Initiative, refer to CONTRIBUTING.md.

Linting

Improved Initiative uses Eslint with prettier to lint the code files.

Linting happens automatically on commit, but you can also run it manually via: npm run lint.

App Settings

You can configure your instance of Improved Initiative with these settings. All are optional, basic functionality should work if you don't specify any.

  • PORT - Defaults to 80
  • NODE_ENV - Set to "production" to satisfy react, set to "development" to disable html view caching.
  • BASE_URL - Used in absolute URLs on client side. Falls back to relative urls if unavailable. This is the canonical URL for Patreon callback and browser localStorage.
  • SESSION_SECRET - Used to keep session continuity through app restarts or something. Handed to express-session.
  • DEFAULT_ACCOUNT_LEVEL - Set to "accountsync" or "epicinitiative" to grant rewards to all users. Useful if you have no DB.
  • DEFAULT_PATREON_ID - Set the dummy Patreon user id when running with DEFAULT_ACCOUNT_LEVEL set.
  • DB_CONNECTION_STRING - Provide a DB connection string for session and user account storage. In memory Mongo DB will be used otherwise, which is cleared on app restart.
  • METRICS_DB_CONNECTION_STRING - Provide a DB connection string to write metrics to.
  • PATREON_URL, PATREON_CLIENT_ID, PATREON_CLIENT_SECRET - Configuration for Patreon integration

Docker

Running Improved Initiative within Docker is possible, but completely optional and currently experimental. Proceed with caution and when in doubt, refer to the Docker documentation.

Building the Docker Image

To build the docker image with a development build, run:

docker build -t improved-initiative:latest .

To build the image with a production build, run:

docker build --build-arg NODE_ENV=production -t improved-initiative:prod .

Running the App in a Docker Container

To start the application within the container, run:

docker run -p80:80 --name improved-initiative improved-initiative:latest

Or, to run the production build:

docker run -p80:80 --name improved-initiative improved-initiative:prod

Stopping and Removing the Container

Assuming you started the container with the name improved-initiative as shown above, the following commands will stop the container and then remove it:

docker stop improved-initiative

docker rm improved-initiative
