Setting up a new site

Setting up new sites with Ripple 2 is made easy with our CLI tool and provisioning process. Before you do so though please ensure you have got in touch with the SDP engagement manager ([email protected]) prior and have submitted a support request to the Digital Victoria Help Centre https://digital-vic.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals

#Requirements

When onboarding a new project to SDP the following will be provisioned for you:

• Git repo created
• Required platform files added to repo, required Dockerfile, etc
• Bay hosting environment configured
• Section.io CDN setup and configured
• Environment variables set to your project specific requirements

#Local development dependencies

Please make sure you have the following dependencies installed before proceeding. Typically local development is not performed through a docker container on the front end.

• Node version 16.11.0 or greater (We recommend installing Node through Node Version Manager - See https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm for install guide)
• NPM version 8.1.0 or greater

Please see the engines key in package.json for most accurate versions.

#Installing Ripple

For SDP sites, this will also be applied. However, if you wish to create a local install of Ripple outside of a project see below.

Installing Ripple is easy with the included CLI tool:

npx @dpc-sdp/nuxt-ripple-cli init site ~/path/to/site --name "My Site"

This will copy the required files needed to setup your site into ~/path/to/site

cd ~/path/to/site && npm install

This will install all dependencies with NPM, you can then run the development server with

npm run dev
