BUGS:Documentation/Clarity #926

Closed NealWalters closed 6 years ago

If grapejs requires NodeJS, the doc/wiki should say that clearly upfront somewhere (i.e. list major dependencies and what type of server is needed to run it). You mention it runs in a CMS, but don't state that it will create a full page and can or cannot run outside of a CMS.

Question: If it runs with NodeJS - will it run on AWS Lambda (serverless)?

Thanks Neal

Indeed it doesn't... you need nodejs just for the development purpose

I think you should read better that statement...

Sure

Thanks Art.

Okay - let's re-read this: "GrapesJS was designed to be used inside a CMS to speed up the creation of dynamic templates."

That could mean I need a CMS then I paste GrapeJS into it; or it could mean it was meant for a person to create his or her own CMS.

Maybe you could just add that "; and it always works fine to build independent HTML pages.

Now back to NodeJS - so there are Node-JS libraries you use that are needed to design/develop a page; but when I deploy to a server, they are not needed? Just the two lines on the getting started page:

This isn't for work; but I'm new on my current job; and everybody assumes I know what they know - so they get tired of my basic questions. :)

Yeah it's not only about CMS but a general purpose use. Inside grapes.min.js you will get everything you need, NodeJS is just for a correct development server (testing, merging dependencies, etc..)
