# eShop Web SPA (Single Page Application)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements and set up
|
|
|
|
This sample runs a microservices oriented application and a .net core Mvc application that consumes this services. You can find more information about how to set up docker in your machine in the global directory solution.
|
|
|
|
### Install NPM
|
|
The SPA application is using a newer version of NPM than the one provided by Visual Studio 2015 (npm 2.7.4 currently), so you need to install the latest stable version of NPM,like npm .
|
|
|
|
NPM is bundled with NODE.JS. Installing NPM and NODE is pretty straightforward by using the installer package available at https://nodejs.org/en/
|
|

|
|
You can install the version "Recommended For Most Users" of Node which at the moment of this writing was v6.9.3 LTS and comes with a newer version of NPM.
|
|
You can see your initial NPM version and the installed NPM version with the command
|
|
<b>npm -v</b>, as shown below.

|
|
|
### Set NPM path into Visual Studio
|
|
NPM will be usually installed under this path:
|
|
<b>C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs</b>.
|
|
You need to update that path in Visual Studio 2015 under the "External Web Tools" location paths, as shown below:

|
|
|
|
### Build the SPA app with NPM
|
|
Finally, you need to build the SPA app (TypeScript and Angular based client app) with NPM.
|
|
* Open a command-prompt window and move to the root of the SPA application (src\Web\WebSPA\eShopOnContainers.WebSPA)
|
|
* Run the command <b>npm run build:prod</b> as shown below:
|
|
<p>
|
|

|
|
|
|
If you get an error like <b>"Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Windows 64-bit with Node.js 6.x"</b>, then run the command <b>npm rebuild node-sass</b> as in the following screenshot:
|
|

|
|
Then, run again the <b>npm run build:prod</b> command that should finish with no errors.
|
|
|
|
### Build/create the Docker images
|
|
Create the Docker images with the <b>build-images.ps1</b> PowerShell script in Windows (or the <b>build-images.sh</b> bash script in a Mac) as explained in the main instructions at https://github.com/dotnet/eShopOnContainers/
|
|
|
|
### Deploy/run the Docker containers
|
|
Deploy/run the Docker containers with <b>"docker-compose up"</b> as explained in the main instructions at https://github.com/dotnet/eShopOnContainers/
|
|
|
|
