Build Arriba

The Arriba build has two parts - building the Arriba engine and building the Arriba.Web website.

  • The engine builds Arriba.dll, Arriba.Server.exe (a console app service host), and Arriba.IIS (an IIS-hostable service host).
  • The website build copies a Configuration folder into Arriba.Web\configuration and then creates a JavaScript "bundle" which contains the site logic along with your configuration (your theme color, site name, custom details views, and so on).

To Build the Arriba Engine:
elfie-arriba\Arriba\Build.cmd

To Build the Arriba.Web website:
elfie-arriba\Arriba\Arriba.Web\node build.js <configFolderPath>

Run 'node build.js configuration.default' to build the default, unthemed website, which will call the Arriba service on the same machine as the site.

You can copy the folder Arriba\Arriba.Web\configuration.default (or one of the Arriba\Databases*\Configuration folders) and then customize it to change the site name and theme color, default listing columns and sort orders, details view shown per table, feedback e-mail addresses, access denied message, sample queries, and more. See the comments in onfiguration.default\Configuration.jsx to see what can be configured.
