I am used to a development environment where I run a little node server locally and make my service calls to a remote REST API. I'm now in a setup where everything is local. There's a local tomcat instance running the REST API and nginx is being used to route calls from my angular app to the tomcat server. The problem I'm having is running my grunt server task - it starts up a connect server that runs on port 9000; Live reload functionality is unavailable because nginx is listening on port 80, so to see changes I have to got to localhost/xyz. Changing the nginx.server.listen port to port 9000 does not work either.
#user nobody;
worker_processes 1;
error_log logs/error.log;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
server {
listen 80;
root /Users/me/dev/angular-project/app; //this looks at my angular app
index index.html index.htm;
server_name localhost;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.html?v=100515130;
}
location /services1 {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/services1; //this is one of my services call addresses
proxy_set_header Host localhost;
}
location /services2 {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/services2; //this is another service call address
proxy_set_header Host localhost;
}
}
include servers/*;
}
What I'd like to be able to do is pretty standard stuff really - watch my .scss and es6 files and compile on change, then hot reload the browser when changes are made. Here is the connect process in my gruntfile:
connect: {
options: {
port: 9001,
// Change this to '0.0.0.0' to access the server from outside.
//hostname: 'localhost'
hostname: '0.0.0.0'
},
livereload: {
options: {
middleware: function (connect) {
return [
modRewrite([
'^[^\\.]*$ /index.html [L]'
]),
lrSnippet,
mountFolder(connect, '.tmp'),
mountFolder(connect, yeomanConfig.app)
];
}
}
},
I'm unfamiliar with nginx and tomcat, but pretty comfortable in node build tools; gulp more than grunt but this is what I have inherited ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do I need to change something in my nginx setup to make this happen, or in my grunt setup, or both?
