Liferay JS Generator Commands

The npm commands shown below are available for the Liferay JS Generator:

• npm run build: Places the output of liferay-npm-bundler in the designated output folder. The standard output is a JAR file that can be deployed manually to Liferay DXP.

• npm run deploy: Deploys the bundle to the configured app server

• npm run start: Tests the application in a local webpack installation instead of a Liferay DXP server. This speeds up development because you can see live changes without any need to deploy. Note, however, that because this is separate from a Liferay instance, you don’t have access to Liferay’s APIs.

Note: By default, the webpack server uses port 8080. You can point the webpack server to a different port by setting the port key in .npmbuildrc:

"webpack": {
  "port": 2070
}

• npm run translate: Runs the translation features for your bundle. Note that this feature requires Microsoft Translator credentials. See Using Translation Features in Your widget for more information.
