None of the Python backend is compiled. So there is no build step.
Since we are using type annotations, you may perform “linting” of sorts with mypy.
From the ui directory inside the repository, there are several npm run scripts/commands that you can use in each stage of development.
If you are working on live changes and want to see the results immediately, you can run:
$ npm start
This starts a webpack-dev-server, listening on localhost:4000 by default.
When flask is run with the setting DEBUG=True, the javascript code is loaded from this webpack dev server on localhost.
The documentation is built using Sphinx.
Sphinx, it’s extensions, and the documentation theme are included in the pipenv developer dependencies.
If you have installed the dependencies using pipenv you may run:
$ pipenv run make html
from the doc/ directory in order to build the documentation.
