Table of Contents

Summary

The Web basic starter contains an unopinionated set of files for web serving:

  • public/index.html
  • public/js/bundle.js
  • public/css/default.css

This BFF application is configured to connect to the following services:

Requirements

Local Development Tools Setup (optional)

Bluemix development tools setup (optional)

  1. Install Docker on your machine.
  2. Install the Bluemix CLI
  3. Download the Bluemix developer tools plugin
  4. Go to the directory you downloaded the image to, and install the plugin with:

bx plugin install <name-of-the-dev-plugin>

IBM Bluemix DevOps setup (optional)

Create Toolchain

IBM Bluemix DevOps services provides toolchains as a set of tool integrations that support development, deployment, and operations tasks inside Bluemix. The "Create Toolchain" button creates a DevOps toolchain and acts as a single-click deploy to Bluemix including provisioning all required services.

*Note you must publish your project to Github for this to work.

Configuration

Your application configuration information is stored in config.json. If you selected services added to your project, you will see Cloudant, Object Storage, and other services with their connection information such as username, password, and hostname listed here. This is useful for connecting to remote services while running your application locally.

When you push your application to Bluemix, however, these values are no longer used, and instead Bluemix automatically connects to those bound services through the use of environment variables. The config.json file has been added to the .gitignore file so you don't accidently check in the secret credentials.

Run

Using Bluemix development CLI

The Bluemix development plugin makes it easy to compile and run your application if you do not have all of the tools installed on your computer yet. Your application will be compiled with Docker containers. To compile and run your app, run:

bx dev run

Your application will be running at http://localhost:8080/.

Using a local development environment

Once the Swift toolchain has been installed, you can compile a Swift project with:

swift build -Xlinker -lc++

Your sources will be compiled to your .build/debug directory.

Endpoints

Your application is running at: http://localhost:8080/ in your browser.
