Server + CronRunner - Running Environment

Typically, the API server is necessary to run any frontend website, so it is recommended to read this before reading the guides for frontend/client web development.

Prerequisite Reading

Relevant Config Values

Based on what config values you had provided for the server’s config.api.host and config.api.port, you should be able to access the API server at http://host:port

For example, http://localhost:8080 for the API server if your config.api.host is localhost and your config.api.port is 8080.

config.api.publicUrl should be equivalent to config.api.host and config.api.port combined. In the example above, this would be http://localhost:8080.

The same would apply for the CronRunner within config.cronRunner.

See the Config Reference for more information.

Running the Environment

Run the following command to start the API server in development mode:

npm run api-dev

The server should now be available at the URL you configured in the Config Reference
Accessing the page in the browser should show Hello World!.

CronRunner

The CronRunner server instance is necessary for features such as tournament creation, and to run timed/cron jobs in general. It’s a separate HTTP server instance that only communicates with other Corsace server instances.
Run the following command to start the CronRunner server in development mode:

npm run cron-runner-dev

The server should now be available at the URL you configured in the Config Reference
Accessing the page in the browser should show Hello World!.
