Running in dev mode

Run the Lerian Console locally in development mode to iterate on changes before promoting them.

If you develop Lerian Console, run it outside Docker. A local run starts faster and avoids conflicts with the container.

A local Console needs Access Manager, the Midaz APIs, and MongoDB reachable at the addresses in .env.development. The Console keeps its own data in MongoDB.

Steps

---

1. Stop the Console container

   Bash

   docker stop console
   
2. Go to the project folder

   Go to the folder where you cloned the Console.

3. Install dependencies

   Bash

   npm install
   
4. Review the environment

   The development server loads a .env.development file automatically. The committed environment files ship development defaults, including credentials. Replace them for any shared environment. Never print them.

5. Start dev mode

   Bash

   npm run dev
   

The development server runs at http://localhost:8081. The first build compiles the pages, so it can take a minute.
