# Frontend

|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
Oh god, front end web development, specifically javascript. This is the front end for the API based backend of DumbYT, a simple Youtube manager that keeps track of various channels or videos a user wants to be "subscribed" to.
|
|
|
|
This project makes use of the following:
|
|
|
|
- **Vuejs** Reasonable javascript framework that's well documented and actively developed.
|
|
- **Axios** Nice HTTP post/delete/etc helper library
|
|
- **TypeScript** Making javascript more bearable, adds types to the language and other niceties.
|
|
- **WebPack** Handles running the Typescript compiler and minifying and running a server for development.

## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the repository
|
|
2. Run ```npm update``` to download all the project dependencies.
|
|
3. Run ```npm start``` which will automatically start a server and recompile the typescript based backend when there are file changes. Also, ```/api``` is proxied back to the production server, though this can be edited in ```webpack.config.js```.
|
|
4. Run ```npm run-script build``` which generates the frontend files for production.
