You can build Anvil with Tauri to a native app.
Since Progressive Enhancement philosophy is followed the security model of the
web browsers make it hard to have a completely client-side application. We will
look into this in a future point in time again.

Quick overview of the structure of the codebase:
This repo was started via `npm create skeleton-app@latest` with the "Welcome"
template.
More components can be added using
[`create-svelte`](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/master/packages/create-svelte).
* `.reuse` - This folder holds configuration for [REUSE](https://reuse.software/)
* `.vscode` - This folder holds configuration for Visual Studio Code
* `LICENSES` - Used in conjunction with REUSE
* `src` - The source code of the web application (server and client)
* `src-tauri` - Glue code for Tauri to turn it into a native application
* `static` - Static assets (FavIcon)
* `tests` - Mainly Svelte component tests for the client
* `.eslintignore` and `.eslintrc.cjs` - ESLint ignore and configuration files
* `.gitignore` - Files and folders not to be subjected to version control
* `.node-version` - Minimum of supported NodeJS version
* `*.license` - Files to be used in conjunction with REUSE
* `.npmrc` - NPM configuration file
* `.prettierignore` and `.prettierrc` - Prettier ignore and configuration files
* `COPYING` - License of this project under AGPL
* `package-lock.json` and `package.json` - NPM package lockfile for dependencies
and meta information about this project

## Building
We haven't yet installed [adapters](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapters) for
the target environments. Coming soon.
We have installed the [Node servers adapters](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapter-node) for
the target environment. There is no cloud-native build target at this point.

## Deployment
There is a [demo instance](https://anvil.demo.jaenis.ch/) available.
Log in with credentials from [fig](https://fig.fr33domlover.site/) to test it
with real data or use any other credentials you like (to see test data).
If you want to run an instance yourself, adapt the
[SystemD service file](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapter-node#socket-activation)
to your setup. For example, running behind a reverse proxy on port 8080
on https://anvil.domain.example/ would look similiar to this:
```
[Service]
Environment=NODE_ENV=production IDLE_TIMEOUT=60 ORIGIN=https://anvil.domain.example PORT=8080
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /opt/anvil
```
This assumes the repository was cheked out and the
[build artifacts](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapter-node#deploying) reside in
`/opt/anvil`. See
[SvelteKit documentation on environment variables](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapter-node#environment-variables-origin-protocolheader-hostheader-and-port-header)
to learn more.
## Storybook
Find a [component library online](https://anvil.codeberg.page/Anvil/).
This is loosely kept in sync with the main branch because there is a dependency
mismatch between Storybook dependencies and what we want to use.
