Package used to build ESRI Web App Builder Apps for production.
Verified and designed for 2D Apps built using Web App Builder for Developers 2.11.
This task runs a full dojo build on any web app builder application, which will greatly improve performance.
Based largely around the scripts built by Junshan Liu (@qlqllu) at https://github.com/Esri-DevCenter-Beijing/wab-app-build-script
- Bower (validated with 1.8.0)
installation :
npm install -g bower
- Nodejs (validated with 6.9.4)
- Java 7 or greater
- Git
If you see an error around dojo-themes, run: bower cache clean
and try again.
- Navigate to the application to be built
- Create a package.json file (if one does not exist):
npm init
npm install --save-dev esri-wab-build
- Add the following to your package.json's scripts object
"build": "esri-wab-build"
(Note: an optional parameter can be added to build a remote web app builder app. For Example:"esri-wab-build C:\arcgis-web-appbuilder-2.7\WebAppBuilderForArcGIS\server\apps\3"
) - Any user that downloads your application will now be able to build:
npm install
npm run build
The build output will be located in buildOut\app and compressed in buildOut\app.zip
npm install -g esri-wab-build
esri-wab-build <location-of-app>
The build output will be located in dist\buildOut\app and compressed in dist\buildOut\app.zip
This tool can be used as a library with the following functions:
remoteBuild.buildApp(buildPath)
- Export and build the Web App Builder Application located at
buildPath
into a dist directory - Note:
buildPath
can be an application located in<web-app-builder-home>/server/apps/#
- Note: this function returns a promise that will provide the outputPath and outputZipPath when the build process is complete.
- Export and build the Web App Builder Application located at
buildTool.build(buildPath)
- Build the Web App Builder Application located at
buildPath
- Note: this function returns a promise that will provide the outputPath and outputZipPath when the build process is complete.
- Build the Web App Builder Application located at
exportUtils.exportApp(buildPath)
- Export the Web App Builder Application located at
buildPath
to a dist directory. - Note:
buildPath
can be an application located in<web-app-builder-home>/server/apps/#
- Export the Web App Builder Application located at
