Lotta

Lotta is a simple-to use platform aimed at schools. Its comprehensible interface makes it easy for students and teachers to create a sophisticated webpage for their school, providing articles, files and media in access-controlled spaces.

See https://lotta.schule for more information.

The latest git tag is the currently deployed version that also runs unmodified on our infrastructure.

Development

For monorepo managing, we use nx.

Prerequisites

• Have nodejs installed (See .tool-versions) to see which one
• Have a working core instance running.

Commands

1. Run all available tests:

npm test

2. Run all available linters / typecheckers:

npm run lint
npm run typecheck

3. Start the Development environment:

npm run dev

This will start:

• The Hubert Storybook on localhost:6006. This project lists, shows and documents any components we have available in our component library Hubert.
• The Lotta Webapp. The main web frontend to a lotta project. This is what is usually referred to by lotta.

The easiest is to start by creating a new lotta tenant, or copying over the data from some prod or test system. As lotta recognizes its tenants via the host url, we suggest you use .local.lotta.schule; It's pointed directly to your localhost, but with the extra of having a multitenant-capable hostname
