mrnehu/base-javascript repository overview

⁠base-javascript

A base image for JavaScript development.

docker pull mrnehu/base-javascript

⁠Usage

The image comes in two flavors:

• The dev-latest tag defines a just-in-time compilation container, which supports the development workflow by allowing in-place development.
• The prod-latest tag defines an ahead-of-time compilation container, suitable for packaging and distributing an application.
• The latest tag points to prod-latest.

⁠dev-latest - in-container development

The dev-latest tag supports the development workflow by allowing in-place development.

Mount your project directory to /opt/app, and the container will use your sources. See docker-compose.dev.yml for an example.

The container assumes the existence of a package.json file with a correct main attribute. No particular scripts or dependencies are required.

When starting the container, it will run nodemon to watch for file changes and restart the application respectively.

⁠prod-latest - AoT compilation

The latest tag includes the application in the image.

This workflow requires rebuilding the image each time the source code is modified, but does not require distributing code separately.

The container assumes the existence of a package.json file with the start script. No particular dependencies are required.

Create your own Dockerfile in your project directory as follows:

FROM mrnehu/base-typescript:prod-latest
COPY . .
RUN yarn install

Then, build your container directly or using docker-compose.
