# Facebook Instant Articles Builder
## 🚨 Important Note
**⚠️ Instant Articles is no longer available, starting April 20, 2023**
All related developer tools have been archived.
---
**Instant Articles Builder** helps you to create a template to build [Facebook Instant Articles](https://instantarticles.fb.com/) from articles on your website.
Try it out (Windows/Mac): https://facebook.github.io/instant-articles-builder/
## Building from source
Run (on the root of the project):
```
npm install
```
### Launching the App
Just run (on the root of the project):
```
npm start
```
### Testing
Run the following command (on the root of the project):
```
npm test
```
## Preview config
To enable the experimental preview of the Instant Article, you can run the webserver locally or point to a remote one.
There are three environment variables that are used to configure the webserver:
- `IA_BUILDER_START_LOCAL_PREVIEW_WEBSERVER` (true|false). Optional.
- When true, when launching the Builder it will start the local webserver (requires php to be installed locally)
- Default value: true
- `IA_BUILDER_PREVIEW_WEBSERVER_HOST` ({protocol}:{hostname}). Optional.
- Example: http://webserver.example.org
- When present, overrides the location where the webserver is
- Default value: http://localhost
- `IA_BUILDER_PREVIEW_WEBSERVER_PORT` ({port number}). Optional.
- When present overrides the port of the webserver
- Default value: 8105
### Local webserver
To enable the preview using a local webserver (which requires PHP to be installed in your local environment) navigate to the `webserver` directory:
```
cd webserver
```
And install the composer dependencies:
```
composer install
```
### Remote webserver
You may also point to a remote webserver for the preview. To configure the remote webserver you can use the mentioned environment variables, or if you are building from source you can create a file called `.env` in the root of the repo with content similar to:
```
IA_BUILDER_START_LOCAL_PREVIEW_WEBSERVER=false
IA_BUILDER_PREVIEW_WEBSERVER_HOST=http://localhost
IA_BUILDER_PREVIEW_WEBSERVER_PORT=8105
```
You can use the [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) image included in this repo under `docker/webserver` to get a webserver instance running locally in Docker.
#### Single container (no cache)
You can get a single container with the webserver without cache by running the following command to build the image:
```
docker build ./docker/webserver -t ia-webserver
```
and then the following command to run your container and make it accessible through the 8105 port (which is also configurable):
```
docker run -it --rm -p 8105:8000 --name ia-webserver ia-webserver:latest
```
#### Docker-compose (with cache)
Update .env with the port according with docker-compose file. As default, memcache it is configured: "8107:8000".
You can get a webserver with cache (using [memcached](https://memcached.org/)) by running the following command from the `Docker/webserver/ folder:
```
docker-compose up
```
You can take a look at the cache stats by going to http://localhost:11212.
once you are done you can stop both containers with the following command:
```
docker-compose down
```
