# Building TimeSafari
This guide explains how to build TimeSafari for different platforms.
This guide explains how to build TimeSafari for different platforms using the comprehensive build system.
## Prerequisites
For a quick dev environment setup, use [pkgx](https://pkgx.dev).
- Node.js (LTS version recommended)
- npm (comes with Node.js)
- Node.js 18+ and npm
- Git
- For mobile builds: Xcode (macOS) or Android Studio
- For desktop builds: Additional build tools based on your OS
## Forks
If you have forked this to make your own app, you'll want to customize the iOS & Android files. You can either edit existing ones, or you can remove the `ios` and `android` directories and regenerate them before the `npx cap sync` step in each setup.
```bash
npx cap add android
npx cap add ios
```
```bash
npx cap add android
npx cap add ios

```
### Web Build for Server
1. Run the production build:
```bash
rm -rf dist
npm run build:web
```
```bash
rm -rf dist
npm run build:web
```
The built files will be in the `dist` directory.

### Web Build Commands
```bash
# Development builds
npm run build:web:dev # Development build with hot reload
npm run build:web:test # Test environment build
npm run build:web:prod # Production build
npm run build:web:serve # Production build with serve
# Docker builds
npm run build:web:docker # Docker development build
npm run build:web:docker:test # Docker test build
npm run build:web:docker:prod # Docker production build
```
### Web Build Script Details
All web build commands use the `./scripts/build-web.sh` script, which provides:
**Build Modes:**
- **Development**: Starts Vite dev server with hot reload (default)
- **Test**: Optimized for testing with minimal minification
- **Production**: Optimized for production with full minification
**Script Features:**
- **Environment Validation**: Checks for Node.js, npm, npx, package.json
- **Environment Setup**: Loads `.env` files based on build mode
- **Clean Build**: Removes previous `dist/` directory
- **Vite Build**: Executes `npx vite build --config vite.config.web.mts`
- **Docker Support**: Optional Docker containerization
- **Local Serving**: Built-in HTTP server for testing builds
**Direct Script Usage:**
```bash
# Direct script usage (no npm chaining)
./scripts/build-web.sh # Development build
./scripts/build-web.sh --dev # Development build (explicit)
./scripts/build-web.sh --test # Test environment build
./scripts/build-web.sh --prod # Production environment build
./scripts/build-web.sh --docker # Build with Docker containerization
./scripts/build-web.sh --docker:test # Test environment + Docker
./scripts/build-web.sh --docker:prod # Production environment + Docker
./scripts/build-web.sh --serve # Build and serve locally
./scripts/build-web.sh --help # Show help
./scripts/build-web.sh --verbose # Enable verbose logging
```
**Script Flow:**
1. **Environment Validation**: Check prerequisites (Node.js, npm, etc.)
2. **Environment Setup**: Load `.env` files, set NODE_ENV
3. **Clean Dist**: Remove previous build artifacts
4. **Vite Build**: Execute Vite with appropriate configuration
5. **Optional Docker**: Build Docker container if requested
6. **Optional Serve**: Start local HTTP server if requested
**Exit Codes:**
- `1` - Web cleanup failed
- `2` - Environment setup failed
- `3` - Vite build failed
- `4` - Docker build failed
- `5` - Serve command failed
- `6` - Invalid build mode

## Appendix: Build System Organization
### Build Process Overview
TimeSafari's build system follows a multi-stage process that prepares assets, combines scripts, and generates platform-specific outputs.
#### Pre-Build Preparation
**1. Service Worker Script Preparation**
```bash
# Optional: Format third-party service worker scripts
npx prettier --write ./sw_scripts/
```
**What this does:**
- Formats cryptographic libraries (`nacl.js`, `noble-curves.js`, `noble-hashes.js`, etc.)
- These scripts are automatically combined during the build process
- Improves readability and makes version control diffs cleaner
- **Note**: This is optional and only needed when updating third-party scripts
**2. Automatic Pre-Build Steps**
The `prebuild` script automatically runs before any build:
```json
"prebuild": "eslint --ext .js,.ts,.vue --ignore-path .gitignore src && node sw_combine.js && node scripts/copy-wasm.js"
```
**What happens automatically:**
- **ESLint**: Checks and fixes code formatting in `src/`
- **Script Combination**: `sw_combine.js` combines all `sw_scripts/*.js` files into `sw_scripts-combined.js`
- **WASM Copy**: `copy-wasm.js` copies SQLite WASM files to `public/wasm/`
#### Build Architecture
**Web Build Process:**
```
1. Pre-Build: ESLint + Script Combination + WASM Copy
2. Environment Setup: Load .env files, set NODE_ENV
3. Vite Build: Bundle web assets with PWA support
4. Service Worker: Inject combined scripts into PWA
5. Output: Production-ready files in dist/
```
**Electron Build Process:**
```
1. Web Build: Vite builds web assets for Electron
2. Capacitor Sync: Copies assets to Electron app directory
3. TypeScript Compile: Compiles main process code
4. Native Module Rebuild: Rebuilds native dependencies
5. Package Creation: Generates platform-specific installers
```
**Mobile Build Process:**
```
1. Web Build: Vite builds web assets
2. Capacitor Sync: Syncs with native platforms
3. Asset Generation: Creates platform-specific assets
4. Native Build: Platform-specific compilation
5. Package Creation: APK/IPA generation
```
#### Service Worker Architecture
**Script Organization:**
- `sw_scripts/` - Individual third-party scripts
- `sw_combine.js` - Combines scripts into single file
- `sw_scripts-combined.js` - Combined service worker (317KB, 10K+ lines)
- `vite.config.utils.mts` - PWA configuration using combined script
**PWA Integration:**
```typescript
// vite.config.utils.mts
pwaConfig: {
strategies: "injectManifest",
filename: "sw_scripts-combined.js", // Uses our combined script
// ... manifest configuration
}
```
**What Gets Combined:**
- `nacl.js` - NaCl cryptographic library
- `noble-curves.js` - Elliptic curve cryptography (177KB)
- `noble-hashes.js` - Cryptographic hash functions (91KB)
- `safari-notifications.js` - Safari-specific notifications
- `additional-scripts.js` - Additional service worker functionality
#### Environment Configuration
**Environment Files:**
- `.env.development` - Development environment
- `.env.test` - Testing environment
- `.env.production` - Production environment
**Key Environment Variables:**
```bash
# API Servers

VITE_APP_SERVER=https://timesafari.app
# Feature Flags

```
#### Build Output Structure
**Web Build:**
```
dist/
├── index.html # Main HTML file
├── assets/ # Bundled JavaScript/CSS
├── sw.js # Service worker (injected)
├── manifest.webmanifest # PWA manifest
└── wasm/ # SQLite WASM files

│ └── TimeSafari.deb # Debian package
└── node_modules/ # Dependencies
```
#### Manual vs Automatic Steps
**Manual Steps (Developer Responsibility):**
- Database migration testing
- Service worker script formatting (optional)
- Version updates and changelog
- Environment-specific builds
**Automatic Steps (Build System):**
- Code linting and formatting
- Script combination
- Asset optimization
- Package creation
- Service worker injection
This architecture ensures consistent builds across all platforms while providing flexibility for platform-specific optimizations and manual quality assurance steps.
