Overview

The schulcloud-client is the Schulcloud's legacy frontend (and thus often called "legacy client"). Most pages are already migrated to the vue-client and all new work should happen there.

Technical Overview

It uses server-side rendering with Handlebars templates served by an Express.js backend.

The integration of Handlebars with Express is done with handlebars-wax as described in this paragraph from the handlebars-wax-docs.

Static files are built with gulp.js.

Integration in the Schulcloud

As shown above, the ingress-controller of the kubernetes-cluster routes to the respective client based on the path. The current routing can be found in the config for the ingress-controller.

Theming

The client can display the site with different themes. The files for each theme are placed in the /themes directory. The theme is selected with the env var SC_THEME.

Local Setup

Clone the repository and proceed like described in the README.

For a minimal setup the schulcloud-server and the vue-client must be running, for a full setup also the file-storage.
