npm run dev

Compile and Minify for Production

Generate production version for uploading on server by running following command:

npm run build

Setting Firebase settings

1. Copy the content of src/firebase/firebase.js.example to src/firebase/firebase.js

Switching between development and production mode

Development mode enables a free explorable use of the website. This state is achieved by using npm run dev AND setting mode in src/stores/store.js to isDebug: true.
Production mode with disabled duplicate participation can be entered by using npm run build AND setting mode in src/stores/store.js to isDebug: false.
