## Usage

There is a few different ways of getting it:

### 1. Binary

- **[Windows (x64)](https://release.khlieng.com/khlieng/dispatch/windows_x64)**
- **[macOS (x64)](https://release.khlieng.com/khlieng/dispatch/mac_x64)**
- **[Linux (x64)](https://release.khlieng.com/khlieng/dispatch/linux_x64)**
- [Other versions](https://github.com/khlieng/dispatch/releases)

### 2. Go

This requires a [Go environment](http://golang.org/doc/install), version 1.11 or greater.

Fetch, compile and run dispatch:

```bash
go get github.com/khlieng/dispatch
dispatch
```

To get some help run:

```bash
dispatch help
```

### 3. Docker

```bash
docker run -p <http port>:80 -p <https port>:443 -v <path>:/data khlieng/dispatch
```

## Build

### Server

```bash
go install
```

### Client

This requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) and [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com).

Fetch the dependencies:

```bash
GO111MODULE=off go get github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...
yarn global add gulp-cli
cd client
yarn
```

Run the build:

```bash
gulp build
```

The server needs to be rebuilt to embed new client builds.

For development with hot reloading start the frontend:

```bash
gulp
```

And then the backend in a separate terminal:

```bash
dispatch --dev
```
