This repository has moved to https://gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/uis/devops/iar/frontend

iar-frontend

Frontend for IAR web application. Bootstrapped with Create React App.

Install dependencies

npm install

Run a development instance

To run locally, firstly start a local copy of the IAR backend, OAuth2 endpoint and lookupproxy:

docker-compose up

Then create the "testclient" OAuth2 client:

./scripts/create-client.sh

Then start the local development server:

npm start

NOTE: The "testclient" client can also be used to log into the asset register developer UI at http://localhost:8000/ui and also to log into the lookup proxy developer UI at http://localhost:8080/ui.

Build for production

npm run build

Run the tests

npm test

Serve some documentation on the components

npm run styleguide

App configuration

Build time configuration is in the .env file. This can be overridden locally by placing values in a .env.local file. Note that you must re-run npm start for build time configuration to take effect. Also note all vars names must be frefixed with REACT_APP_. See the documentation for more information.

Run time configuration is specified by setting the window.reactAppConfiguration variable. The recommended way to do this is outlined in the .env:

1. Add the REACT_APP_INDEX_HTML_HEAD build-time configuration value to .env.local so that <script src="/config.local.js"> is inserted into the index.html file.
2. Copy the configuration template to public/config.local.js.
3. Add any local configuration to public/config.local.js.

Although you need to re-run npm start after changing REACT_APP_INDEX_HTML_HEAD, changes to run-time configuration will take effect on the next reload. Both .env.local and public/config.local.js are added to .gitignore so that they are not inadvertently checked into source control.

NOTE: In the test suite, configuration is loaded from a special module since index.html is not parsed when running tests.
