CE deploy & monitor web UI

This project is meant to be the web User Interface for the CE deploy & monitor tool. The project is written in ReactJS.

Developing environment

  • NodeJS and npm
  • Docker (if want to run backend locally for test purposes)
  • IDE for JavaScript developement (e.g. Visual Studio Code)

(For developing purposes it is suggested to use Node Version Manager [NVM] which makes easy to change between different Node versions).

Required versions

  • Node: v14.10+
  • npm: v6.10+

Local development setup

For being able to run the backend, and frontend application on the same machine (locally) a proxy has been set in the project! If you don't want to run the backend server, and frontend on the same machine, or have different settings, please adjust the package.json at the following line: "proxy": "http://localhost:8080"

Environment Variables

Environment variables are stored in .env files. Precedency of environment variable files are (files on the left have more priority than files on the right):

  • npm start: .env.development.local, .env.local, .env.development, .env
  • npm run build: .env.production.local, .env.local, .env.production, .env
  • npm test: .env.test.local, .env.test, .env (note .env.local is missing)

All environment variables start with REACT_APP_ prefix.

External configuration

All necessary configuration is stored in a config file in the public folder, called config.js. The config file has to be included in the index.html file! The following values can be set in the file:

Environment variable Description
SERVER_ADDRESS The backend server base URL (host:port) (if backend server is running natively on the same host as the UI then the value has to be empty, and proxy has to be set!)
API_BASE_ENDPOINT The context path of the application's REST API (e.g. /api/spec)
SWAGGER_UI_URL The URL for the backend Swagger-ui interface (e.g./api/docs)
TOKEN_RENEW_INTERVAL Time interval to renew JWT auth token (in milliseconds)
CCDB_ADDRESS CCDB service base URL (used for IOC name CCDB reference feature)
ENVIRONMENT_TITLE Adds a (sub)text to the HTLM title, and also for the appBar header. Supposed to show information to the user which environment they are using. The default value is empty. Optional field!

Refering to a value in the JS source code is: window.field-name (e.g. window.SERVER_ADDRESS).

Useful links to start developing in ReactJS

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

ESLint & Prettier

Linting can be checked, and to some extent auto fixed by running following scripts:

npm run lint

will run npx eslint src which will run eslint on all files in the src directory and write out the results of the check in your console.

npm run lint:fix

will run npm run lint -- --fix which will run eslint on all files in the src directory and fix what can be auto fixed and write out the rest of the results of the check, of what could not be auto fixed, in your console.

npm run prettier

will run npx prettier src --check which will run prettier on all files in the src directory and write out which files would be changed in your console.

npm run prettier:fix

will run npm run prettier -- --write which will run prettier on all files in the src directory and write out which files have be changed in your console.

npm run format

will run npm run prettier:fix && npm run lint:fix which will run lint:fix and the prettier:fix scripts mentioned above.

Pre-Commit

Installation

You will need to install pre-commit first locally on you machine, the install it in you project, instructions on how to do this you can find here: https://pre-commit.com/#install

By running pre-commit run --all-files pre-commit will run both eslint and prettier on all files in src, much like the scripts from the package.json

End-to-end testing with Cypress

For end-to-end testing we user Cypress, tests are written in gherkin syntax. To run Cypress tests, you have to

  • run the backend server
  • run the frontend code

Details: https://github.com/TheBrainFamily/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor

Then to open Cypress dialog window enter:

npx cypress open

To run Cypress tests from command line (without the test-dialog), enter

npx cypress run

Jest-tests

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
