### Building the web app ### Build the web app
The sources for the web app live in `web/`. As long as you have `npm` installed (see above), building the web app
is really simple. Just type `make web` and you're in business:
### Building the docs ``` shell
$ make web
``` ...
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
mkdocs build
``` ```
This will build the web app using Create React App and then **copy the production build to the `server/site` folder**, so
that when you `make server` (or `make server-amd64`, ...), you will have the web app included in the `ntfy` binary.
If you're developing on the web app, it's best to just `cd web` and run `npm start` manually. This will open your browser
at `http://127.0.0.1:3000` with the web app, and as you edit the source files, they will be recompiled and the browser
will automatically refresh:
``` shell
$ cd web
$ npm start
``` ```
mkdocs serve
### Build the docs
The sources for the docs live in `docs/`. Similarly to the web app, you can simply run `make docs` to build the
documentation. As long as you have `mkdocs` installed (see above), this should work fine:
``` shell
$ make docs
...
```
If you are changing the documentation, you should be running `mkdocs serve` directly. This will build the documentation,
serve the files at `http://127.0.0.1:8000/`, and rebuild every time you save the source files:
```
$ mkdocs serve

### Quick & dirty (amd64 only)
To quickly build on amd64, you can use `make build-simple`:
```
make build-simple
```
That'll generate a statically linked binary in `dist/ntfy_linux_amd64/ntfy`. This binary will **not include the docs
or the web app**. To include that
For all other platforms (including Docker), and for production or other snapshot builds, you should use the amazingly
awesome [GoReleaser](https://goreleaser.com/) make targets:
```
Build:
make build - Build
make build-snapshot - Build snapshot
make build-simple - Build (using go build, without goreleaser)
make clean - Clean build folder
Releasing (requires goreleaser):
make release - Create a release
make release-snapshot - Create a test release
```
There are currently no platform-specific make targets, so they will build for all platforms (which may take a while).

You should download [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio) (or [IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/)
with the relevant Android plugins). Everything else will just be a pain for you. Do yourself a favor. 😀
