A react light-portal UI as a template for single page applications that interact with back end APIs
The source code in this repository is deployed to lightapi.net.
Vite reads .env and VITE_* environment variables at build time. If a
target host, API base URL, or sign-in URL changes, rebuild portal-view and
copy the generated dist directory into the asset repository used by that
target.
The committed .env leaves VITE_API_BASE_URL empty so default builds use
same-origin API paths and do not bake a localhost URL into non-local assets.
Set VITE_API_BASE_URL explicitly in local or target-specific build commands
when the API is not served from the same origin.
Run npm install before the first build if node_modules is not present.
Use this build for the local portal-config-loc stack. It writes the built
LightAPI portal assets to service-asset/lightapi/dist, which is the shared
source for local gateway UI assets.
cd ~/lightapi/portal-view
VITE_API_BASE_URL=https://localhost \
VITE_SIGNIN_URL='https://signin.localhost?client_id=f7d42348-c647-4efb-a52d-4c5787421e72' \
npm run build
rm -rf ~/lightapi/service-asset/lightapi/dist
mkdir -p ~/lightapi/service-asset/lightapi
cp -a dist ~/lightapi/service-asset/lightapi/Then start the local stack:
cd ~/lightapi/portal-config-loc
./scripts/deploy-local.sh pg rustdeploy-local.sh copies from service-asset when the selected gateway asset
directory is missing. If the stack already has an older gateway dist, remove
that target directory first or copy the updated service-asset/lightapi/dist
into the selected gateway path before restarting.
Use this build for the dev portal-config-dev deployment. It writes the built
LightAPI portal assets to asset-dev/lightapi/dist, which
portal-config-dev/scripts/sync-assets.sh copies into
portal-config-dev/light-gateway-rust/lightapi/dist.
cd ~/lightapi/portal-view
VITE_API_BASE_URL=https://dev.lightapi.net \
VITE_SIGNIN_URL='https://devsignin.lightapi.net?client_id=f7d42348-c647-4efb-a52d-4c5787421e72' \
npm run build
rm -rf ~/lightapi/asset-dev/lightapi/dist
mkdir -p ~/lightapi/asset-dev/lightapi
cp -a dist ~/lightapi/asset-dev/lightapi/Then sync the dev deployment assets:
cd ~/lightapi/portal-config-dev
