Production

Once the system should be run in production, the source files have to be bundled. The command to do so is:

npm run build

It might take a while to build the files, but eventually they will be placed in the dashboard/static/vue folder in the back end where these static files can then be served and interpreted from browsers, as they now contain only HTML, CSS and JS.

Configurations for this process can be made in the vue.config.js file at the root of the vue_frontend folder. It is necessary to keep the static files in VCS for production.
