Famo.us on Jetty Server

Question

I am looking for the "How To" or proper documentation/tutorials to bring famo.us JavaScript files online from a Java (JRE8) embedded Jetty 9.3 Web Server.

Normally bringing something online, such as JavaScript, with Jetty is a peace of cake but the Famo.us library seems to have its own rules and a kind of 'deploy' application that always sets the output on the Famo.us cloud. I want it locally on disk drive and let Jetty serve the files. I would be interested what deploy does too?

I found this Famo.us explanation to set-up locally (Famo.us CLI/Node.js,glsify, etc) which for development and testing is fine but can't compare to the Jetty performance and architecture.

So I want the best of both worlds, a Jetty embedded server allowing me to have SSL/TLS, HTTP/2.0 (+Push) and Java at server side and JavaScript and Famo.us (or Famo.us/AngularJS) at client side, all from my local server and not from the Famo.us cloud (which I see as a long term liability by the way).

Is there anyone that can point me to how this is best achieved.

Answer 1

The famous deploy is just a scripting of doing a build of your app into the public folder using the npm run build script command found in the package.json file then publishing the public folder to the cloud with a wrapper.

In your case, use npm run build to build your application into the public folder and publish the public folder to your Jetty server the same way you would publish any HTML application.
