# Build Web Script Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Author**: Matthew Raymer
|
||||
**Date**: 2025-07-11
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Successfully implemented and tested
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The `build-web.sh` script has been successfully integrated into the TimeSafari build system, providing a unified approach to web builds that eliminates the need for multiple commands with flags in npm scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem Solved
|
||||
|
||||
### Previous Issue: Multiple Commands with Flags
|
||||
|
||||
The original package.json scripts had complex command chains that made debugging and maintenance difficult:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
// OLD PATTERN - Multiple commands with flags
|
||||
"build:web:test": "npm run build:web:build -- --mode test",
|
||||
"build:web:prod": "npm run build:web:build -- --mode production",
|
||||
"build:web:docker:test": "npm run build:web:docker -- --mode test",
|
||||
"build:web:docker:prod": "npm run build:web:docker -- --mode production"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### New Solution: Single Script with Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
The new approach uses a single shell script that handles all build modes and options:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
// NEW PATTERN - Single script calls
|
||||
"build:web": "./scripts/build-web.sh",
|
||||
"build:web:dev": "./scripts/build-web.sh --dev",
|
||||
"build:web:test": "./scripts/build-web.sh --test",
|
||||
"build:web:prod": "./scripts/build-web.sh --prod",
|
||||
"build:web:docker": "./scripts/build-web.sh --docker",
|
||||
"build:web:docker:test": "./scripts/build-web.sh --docker:test",
|
||||
"build:web:docker:prod": "./scripts/build-web.sh --docker:prod",
|
||||
"build:web:serve": "./scripts/build-web.sh --serve"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Script Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### Design Principles
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Single Responsibility**: Each npm script calls exactly one command
|
||||
2. **Argument Parsing**: All complexity handled within the shell script
|
||||
3. **Consistent Interface**: Follows the same pattern as other build scripts
|
||||
4. **Environment Management**: Proper environment variable handling
|
||||
5. **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error checking and reporting
|
||||
6. **Development-First**: Development mode starts dev server instead of building
|
||||
|
||||
### Script Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# build-web.sh
|
||||
# Author: Matthew Raymer
|
||||
# Description: Web build script for TimeSafari application
|
||||
|
||||
# Exit on any error
|
||||
set -e
|
||||
|
||||
# Source common utilities
|
||||
source "$(dirname "$0")/common.sh"
|
||||
|
||||
# Parse arguments and set build mode
|
||||
parse_web_args "$@"
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate environment
|
||||
validate_web_environment
|
||||
|
||||
# Setup environment
|
||||
setup_build_env "web"
|
||||
setup_web_environment
|
||||
|
||||
# Execute build steps
|
||||
clean_build_artifacts "dist"
|
||||
execute_vite_build "$BUILD_MODE"
|
||||
|
||||
# Optional steps
|
||||
if [ "$DOCKER_BUILD" = true ]; then

execute_docker_build "$BUILD_MODE"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
|
||||
if [ "$SERVE_BUILD" = true ]; then
|

|
||||
|
||||
## PWA Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### PWA Best Practices Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
The TimeSafari web build follows PWA best practices by enabling PWA functionality across all environments:
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✅ **Development Mode**
|
||||
- PWA enabled for development testing
|
||||
- Service worker registration active
|
||||
- Manifest generation enabled
|
||||
- Hot reload compatible
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✅ **Test Mode**
|
||||
- PWA enabled for QA testing
|
||||
- Service worker registration active
|
||||
- Manifest generation enabled
|
||||
- Full PWA feature testing
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✅ **Production Mode**
|
||||
- PWA enabled with full caching strategies
|
||||
- Service worker registration active
|
||||
- Manifest generation enabled
|
||||
- Runtime caching for API calls
|
||||
- Optimized for production performance
|
||||
|
||||
### PWA Features Generated
|
||||
- `manifest.webmanifest` - PWA manifest with app metadata
|
||||
- `sw.js` - Service worker for offline functionality
|
||||
- `workbox-*.js` - Workbox library for caching strategies
|
||||
- Share target support for image sharing
|
||||
- Offline-first architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### Visual Confirmations of PWA Installation
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✅ **Automatic Browser Prompts**
|
||||
- **Chrome**: Install banner in address bar with install button
|
||||
- **Safari**: "Add to Home Screen" prompt
|
||||
- **Edge**: Install button in toolbar
|
||||
- **Firefox**: Install button in address bar
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✅ **Custom Install Prompt**
|
||||
- **PWAInstallPrompt Component**: Shows when PWA can be installed
|
||||
- **Install Button**: Prominent blue "Install" button
|
||||
- **Dismiss Options**: "Later" button and close button
|
||||
- **Success Notification**: Confirms successful installation
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✅ **Post-Installation Indicators**
|
||||
- **App Icon**: Appears on device home screen/start menu
|
||||
- **Standalone Window**: Opens without browser UI
|
||||
- **Native Experience**: Full-screen app-like behavior
|
||||
- **Offline Capability**: Works without internet connection
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✅ **Installation Status Detection**
|
||||
- **Display Mode Detection**: Checks for standalone/fullscreen modes
|
||||
- **Service Worker Status**: Monitors service worker registration
|
||||
- **Install Event Handling**: Listens for successful installation
|
||||
- **Environment Awareness**: Only shows when PWA is enabled
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables Set
|
||||
- `VITE_PLATFORM=web`
|
||||
- `VITE_PWA_ENABLED=true`
|
||||
- `VITE_DISABLE_PWA=false`
|
||||
- `NODE_ENV` (based on build mode)
|
||||
- `VITE_GIT_HASH` (from git)
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment File Loading
|
||||
The script automatically loads environment files based on build mode:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `.env.{mode}` (e.g., `.env.test`, `.env.production`)
|
||||
2. `.env` (fallback)
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with Existing System
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Utilities
|
||||
The script leverages the existing `common.sh` utilities:
|
||||
- `log_info`, `log_success`, `log_error` - Consistent logging
|
||||
- `measure_time` - Performance tracking
|
||||
- `safe_execute` - Error handling
|
||||
- `setup_build_env` - Environment setup
|
||||
- `clean_build_artifacts` - Cleanup operations
|
||||
|
||||
### Consistent Patterns
|
||||
Follows the same patterns as other build scripts:
|
||||
- `build-electron.sh` - Electron builds
|
||||
- `build-android.sh` - Android builds
|
||||
- `build-ios.sh` - iOS builds
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Builds
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Development server (starts dev server)

||||
|
||||
# Test environment build
|
||||
npm run build:web:test
|
||||
|
||||
# Production build
|
||||
npm run build:web:prod
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker Builds
