Prerequisites

Setup requires:

Install the Edgio CLI

If you have not already done so, install the Edgio CLI.
Bash
1npm i -g @layer0/cli@latest

Create a new Dojo app

If you don’t already have a Dojo app, create one by running the following:
Bash
1npm i @dojo/cli @dojo/cli-create-app -g
2dojo create app --name hello-world
3cd hello-world
You can verify your app works by running it locally with:
Bash
1npm run dev

Configuring your Dojo app for Edgio

Initialize your project

In the root directory of your project run 0 init:
Bash
10 init
This will automatically update your package.json and add all of the required Edgio dependencies and files to your project. These include:
  • The @layer0/core package - Allows you to declare routes and deploy your application on Edgio
  • The @layer0/prefetch package - Allows you to configure a service worker to prefetch and cache pages to improve browsing speed
  • layer0.config.js - A configuration file for Edgio
  • routes.ts - A default routes file that sends all requests to Dojo.

Configure the routes

Update routes.ts at the root of your project to the following:
JavaScript
1// This file was added by layer0 init.
2// You should commit this file to source control.
3

4import { Router } from '@layer0/core/router'
5

6export default new Router()
7  // Prevent search engine bot(s) from indexing
8  // Read more on: https://docs.layer0.co/applications/cookbook#blocking-search-engine-crawlers
9  .noIndexPermalink()
10  .static('output/dist', ({ cache }) => {
11    cache({
12      edge: {
13        maxAgeSeconds: 60 * 60 * 60 * 365,
14        forcePrivateCaching: true,
15      },
16      browser: {
17        maxAgeSeconds: 0,
18        serviceWorkerSeconds: 60 * 60 * 24,
19      },
20    })
21  })
22  .fallback(({ appShell }) => {
23    appShell('output/dist/index.html')
24  })
Refer to the Routing guide for the full syntax of the routes.js file and how to configure it for your use case.

Run the Dojo app locally on Edgio

Create a production build of your app by running the following in your project’s root directory:
Bash
1npm run build
Test your app with the Sites on your local machine by running the following command in your project’s root directory:
Bash
10 dev
Load the site http://127.0.0.1:3000

Deploying

Create a production build of your app by running the following in your project’s root directory:
Bash
1npm run build
Deploy your app to the Sites by running the following command in your project’s root directory:
Bash
10 deploy
Refer to the Deploying guide for more information on the deploy command and its options.
