Building

Building the app is done through make and its targets. To see a list of available targets:

> make help

Makefile:all                   builds, bundles, and tests the application
Makefile:build                 builds, bundles, and tests the application
Makefile:build-docs            generate html docs
Makefile:build-image           build a docker image
Makefile:clean                 clean up everything added by the default target
Makefile:clean-deps            clean up the node_modules directory
Makefile:clean-target          clean up the target directory
...

Compiling Typescript

> make
# or
> make ci

This will compile the code and run tests.
