After cloning the repository, first, install the npm packages for both directories, frontend and backend.
cd ./backend
npm i
cd ./frontend
npm i
After this, you need to configure the environment variables for both the frontend and the backend. This can be done by adding .env-files in the root of the frontend and backend directory.
First, create the file for the backend:
./backend/.env
ADMIN_PASS=<password for the colyseus admin panel>
You can now run the backend by running the npm start script.
cd backend
npm run start
The console output should contain Listening on ws://0.0.0.0:2567. This IP-address and port are required in the file for the frontend:
/frontend/.env
REACT_APP_MASTER_BACKEND=0.0.0.0:2567
REACT_APP_MASTER_BACKEND_USE_HTTPS=
Yes, the last line is complete the way it's written here. This disables Secured connections for local development.
You can now start the frontend with the corresponding npm script:
cd frontend
npm run start
Should you get any errors a la "Failed to fetch", you might want to replace 0.0.0.0 in the .env file with either localhost or your local IP-address.
Now that both frontend and backend are up and running, you can start developing.
Whenever you save a file, the code is hot-swapped, which means you don't need to restart anything, it happens by itself.
