# Backend for Minimal Non-Persistent chat

Built in TypeScript 4.5 with rollup

## Install

Run the command `yarn install`  
(or the equivalent in your package manager of choice).

## Build

Run the command `yarn build`
(or the equivalent in your package manager of choice).

This will run rollup with the project's `rollup.config.js`.  
Alternatively, you can run rollup manually without a package manager.  
(cf. [rollup's guide](https://rollupjs.org/guide/) for a how-to)

## Run

Run the command `yarn start`
(or the equivalent in your package manager of choice).

The compiled script does not take any parameters.  
Any configuration needs to be done in-source, before the [building step](#build).

This will run the compiled JavaScript file with the environment's `node` executable.  
Alternatively, manually run `<your node path>/node ./server.node.bundle.js`

### Combined script

The combined script `yarn prod` (or equivalent) will run the build script and, if successful, the run script.


#### This package has only been tested on Linux with Node.js v17.3.0
