Development

Will run npm install when component is first initialized, and npm run dev when deployment is started.

Production

Will build a production ready image. Image runs npm install & npm build when being created. Once the image runs, npm start is called.

Notes

• If you are using packages that use native libraries (like node-canvas e.g.), it is a good idea to switch the Dockerfile and Dockerfile.dev to use node:XX instead of node:XX-slim. You can also add any missing libraries with RUN apt update && apt install -y <package> in the dockerfiles.
