Setting Up the Development Environment

You can set up your development environment in two ways: locally or using Docker.

Local Development Setup​

Setting up a local development environment involves configuring your system to run the Node.js application directly.

  1. Clone the Repository:
    git clone [email protected]:iotaledger/gtsc.git
    cd gtsc
  1. Install Dependencies:
    npm install
  1. Environment Configuration:
  • Create a .env.serve file in the root directory of your project.
  • Copy environment variables from .env.local. For example:
    cp .env.local .env.serve
  1. Run the Application: a. Backend
    npm run rest-server:serve

Your backend should now be running on http://localhost:3000. b. Frontend

    npm run tlip:serve

Your backend should now be running on http://localhost:4200.

Using Docker for Development​

Using Docker simplifies the setup by creating a containerised environment for your application.

  1. Install Docker: Download and install Docker from docker.com.
  2. Run docker image
    docker-compose up --build

Your application should now be running in a Docker container on http://localhost:3000 for the backend and http://localhost:4200 for the frontend.
