Development Environment Setup

[tannakartikey]

Hello,

I am new to Backbone (JS) development.

I wanted to know how can I setup the development environment?

After cloning the repo I can produce a build using Grunt.

But how to run the CRM before I produce the build? How do I test whatever code changes I have made haven't broken the code.

What should be the development workflow?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There is an guideline on repository in readme.md. You need to have config.php to run it.

To compose a proper config.php and populate database you can run install by openinghttp(s)://{YOUR_CRM_URL}/install location in a browser. Then open data/config.php file and add isDeveloperMode => true.

Oh, yes. Thanks.

I was only referring to https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...nstallation.md so missed those steps.

If you are still interested in Backbone or looking into React or Angular, I can share a post with Backbone vs React comparison. It has useful data and should be interesting to read for someone who's interested in Web development. Anyways, good luck to you.
