| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## ✅ Completed Tasks |
| 4 | + |

| 10 | + |
| 11 | +### 2. Domain & Deployment |
| 12 | +- ✅ **CNAME File**: Created `website/CNAME` with `frontjs.dev` |
| 13 | +- ✅ **Path Fixes**: Updated KB links from `../KB/` to `./KB/` |
| 14 | +- ✅ **Repository**: Made public (required for free GitHub Pages) |
| 15 | +- ✅ **GitHub Pages**: Enabled with workflow deployment |
| 16 | +- ✅ **Custom Domain**: Configured frontjs.dev |
| 17 | +- ✅ **Automated Deploy**: GitHub Actions workflow on every push to master |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### 3. Code Quality |
| 20 | +- ✅ **Version**: package.json at 0.0.1 (ready for release) |
| 21 | +- ✅ **Build**: `dist/` directory exists (last built: Dec 6) |
| 22 | +- ✅ **Tests**: Vitest configured and passing |
| 23 | +- ✅ **CI**: GitHub Actions workflow exists |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## ⏳ Pending Actions |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### DNS Configuration (Required) |
| 28 | +You need to configure DNS at your domain registrar for frontjs.dev: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +**See `DNS-SETUP.md` for complete instructions.** |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Quick summary: |
| 33 | +1. Add 4 A records pointing to GitHub Pages IPs |
| 34 | +2. Add CNAME record for www subdomain |
| 35 | +3. Wait 5-60 minutes for propagation |
| 36 | +4. HTTPS will auto-enable after DNS propagates |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +### Post-DNS Verification |
| 39 | +Once DNS is configured: |
| 40 | +- [ ] Visit https://frontjs.dev (main site) |
| 41 | +- [ ] Test https://frontjs.dev/examples/ (examples) |
| 42 | +- [ ] Test https://frontjs.dev/KB/ (knowledge base) |
| 43 | +- [ ] Verify HTTPS certificate is active |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +### Optional: NPM Release |
| 46 | +When ready to publish to npm: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +```bash |
| 49 | +# Dry run to verify package contents |
| 50 | +npm run build |
| 51 | +npm pack --dry-run |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +# Create git tag |
| 54 | +git tag v0.0.1 |
| 55 | +git push origin v0.0.1 |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +# Publish to npm (requires npm login) |
| 58 | +npm publish |
| 59 | +``` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +## Current Deployment Status |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +**Live URL**: http://frontjs.dev/ (waiting for DNS) |
| 64 | +**Fallback URL**: http://matthewhendricks.net/front-js/ |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +**Repository**: https://github.com/watthem/front-js |
| 67 | +**Status**: Public, Pages enabled, Auto-deploy active |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +## File Changes Made |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +### New Files |
| 72 | +- `.github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml` - Automated deployment |
| 73 | +- `website/CNAME` - Custom domain configuration |
| 74 | +- `DNS-SETUP.md` - DNS configuration instructions |
| 75 | +- `DEPLOYMENT-SUMMARY.md` - This file |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +### Modified Files |
| 78 | +- `README.md` - Unboxing polish (install + hello world first) |
| 79 | +- `website/index.html` - Fixed KB path references |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +## Architecture Notes |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +The deployment uses GitHub Actions to automatically deploy the `website/` directory to GitHub Pages on every push to master. The workflow: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +1. Checks out code |
| 86 | +2. Configures Pages |
| 87 | +3. Uploads `website/` as artifact |
| 88 | +4. Deploys to GitHub Pages |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +This means any changes to `website/` are automatically deployed within 1-2 minutes of pushing to master. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +## Quick Commands |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +**Check deployment status:** |
| 95 | +```bash |
| 96 | +gh run list --limit 5 |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +**Manually trigger deployment:** |
| 100 | +```bash |
| 101 | +gh workflow run deploy-pages.yml |
| 102 | +``` |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +**Check Pages configuration:** |
| 105 | +```bash |
| 106 | +gh api repos/watthem/front-js/pages |
| 107 | +``` |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +**View live site (once DNS is configured):** |
| 110 | +```bash |
| 111 | +open https://frontjs.dev # macOS |
| 112 | +start https://frontjs.dev # Windows |
| 113 | +``` |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +## Next Steps Priority |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +1. **HIGH**: Configure DNS at domain registrar (see DNS-SETUP.md) |
| 118 | +2. **MEDIUM**: Test site once DNS propagates |
| 119 | +3. **LOW**: Consider npm publish when ready for v0.0.1 release |
| 120 | +4. **LOW**: Add Google Analytics or plausible.io if desired |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +--- |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +**All deployment work is complete.** The only remaining task is DNS configuration at your domain registrar. |
