This README covers some topics related to build and deploy of the rules / rule server.

Branches and rule archives

By default, deployments build the current rulepack as the preview archive. However, different branches deploy to different servers. The master branch deploys to rules-dev.mybluemix.net/rules. For end users to see the preview archive, changes must be merged into the prod branch.

Create a new archive

1. Install

• In accessibility-checker-engine and rule-server run npm install

2. Build

• Delete rule-server/dist
• In rule-server, npm run build
• The new archive will be found in rule-server/dist/static/archives/preview. Copy and rename preview to the archive directory (e.g., rule-server/src/static/archives/yyyy.mm.dd)

3. Metadata

• Add an entry to rule-server/src/static/archives.json. See other entries for examples. Ensure that you move the latest property to the new archive.
