🥇 Get started

If you are looking for the Developers API of Twake to make plugins, apps or connectors, go here : Developers API​

Start your development server

The development server is a bit different than the production server. The idea is that you want your edited files to be executed by the docker-compose and so you must bind you local code directory to your docker-compose.yml.

Step 1 - Use the right docker-compose.yml

cd twake
cp twake/docker-compose.yml.dist.dev twake/docker-compose.yml

Step 2 - Edit your configuration (optional)

You can for instance disable Elastic Search if you don't want to use it on development.

### Backend configuration
cd twake
cp backend/core/app/Configuration/Parameters.php.dist backend/core/app/Configuration/Parameters.php
nano backend/core/app/Configuration/Parameters.php
# Set es.host to false

Step 3 - Start php and nginx to install dependencies

cd twake
docker-compose up -d php nginx

Step 4 - Install dependencies

docker-compose exec php php composer.phar install #Could take some time
docker-compose exec nginx yarn install
docker-compose exec nginx yarn build

Step 5 - Run your local server

cd twake
docker-compose stop
docker-compose up -d

You should now be able to access http://localhost:8000​

Step 6 - Run the frontend with hot-reloading

It's better to have hot reloading while working on frontend. But we do not use the same port for docker and for hot reloading.

cd twake/frontend/
yarn start

You should now be able to access http://localhost:3000 with hot reloading.
