Deployment

Production Build​

npm run build command produces production builds.

Catalyst uses babel and Webpack to produce optimized builds.

The output goes inside build folder.

Self Hosting​

Catalyst Apps can be deployed to any hosting provider which supports Node.js.

Ensure that your package.json has build and serve commands.

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "catalyst start",
    "build": "catalyst build",
    "serve": "catalyst serve",
    "devBuild": "catalyst devBuild",
    "devServe": "catalyst devServe"
  }
}

Then run npm run build to build your application and npm run serve to start the node server.

Node server will start on host DEV_SERVER_HOSTNAME and port APPLICATION_PORT mentioned in config/config.json. Assets will be served from PUBLIC_ASSET_PATH

The devBuild and devServe commands are akin to build and serve, differing only in that they serve your assets locally during development when not stored on a CDN.
