Front-end

  • Git Submodule
  • Dependencies
  • Build
  • Creating Pull Requests

The current Front-end of Lychee is 100% JS generated. In order to modify it you will need to recompile it.

Git Submodule

At the moment, the current strategy of Lychee is to separate the front-end from the back-end. This allowed us to easily develop the version 4 while having the version 3 still live. It also kept the consistency of the GUI between the two major versions.

As a result you will find the front-end files in the public/Lychee-front directory after you initialized it as follows:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Dependencies

In order to compile the front-end, you have to install the following dependencies:

  • node Node.js v10.0.0 or later
  • npm Node Packaged Modules

After installing Node.js you can use the included npm package manager to download all dependencies:

npm install

Build

The Gulpfile is located in public/Lychee-front/ and can be executed using the npm run compile command. This will take care of concatenating and minimizing the files.

Do not forget to clear your cache in order to see the change done.

Creating Pull Requests

Please be sure to submit any front end pull requests to LycheeOrg/Lychee-front.
