Configuration

Overview

There are 3 main components to JobQuery:

• Back-end server application
• Front-end client
• Database

The client interacts with the back-end via an exposed REST api, and the server handles database operations. These can now be configured independently by setting specific environment attributes.

Note, there are two main ways the client app can be deployed:

• Development deployment - uses appdev.js, and all libs etc are loaded individually. For this, run gulp dev.
• Staging/Production deployment - uses app.js, which is uglified, concatenated, and minified along with libs and other resources. For this, run gulp staging or gulp prod
