# AWX UI
## Requirements
- node.js 8.x LTS
- npm 5.x LTS
- bzip2, gcc-c++, git, make
### Node / NPM
## Development
The API development server will need to be running. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](../../CONTRIBUTING.md).
AWX currently requires the 6.x LTS version of Node and NPM.
```shell
# Build ui for the devel environment - reachable at https://localhost:8043
make ui-devel
macOS installer: [https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v6.x/](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v6.x/)
# Alternatively, start the ui development server. While running, the ui will be reachable
# at https://localhost:3000 and updated automatically when code changes.
make ui-docker
RHEL / CentOS / Fedora:
```
$ curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
$ yum install nodejs
```
### Other Dependencies
On macOS, install the Command Line Tools:
```
$ xcode-select --install
```
RHEL / CentOS / Fedora:
```
$ yum install bzip2 gcc-c++ git make
```
## Usage
### Starting the UI
First, the AWX API will need to be running. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](../../CONTRIBUTING.md).
When using Docker for Mac or native Docker on Linux:
```
$ make ui-docker
# When using docker machine, use this command to start the ui development server instead.
DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME=default make ui-docker-machine
```
## Development with an external server
If you normally run awx on an external host/server (in this example, `awx.local`),
you'll need to reconfigure the webpack proxy slightly for `make ui-docker` to
work:

},
```
When using Docker Machine:
## Testing
```shell
# run linters
make jshint
```
$ DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME=default make ui-docker-machine
# run unit tests
make ui-test-ci
# run e2e tests - see awx/ui/test/e2e for more information
npm --prefix awx/ui run e2e
```
### Running Tests
## Adding dependencies
```shell
# add a development or build dependency
npm install --prefix awx/ui --save-dev dev-package@1.2.3
Run unit tests locally, poll for changes to both source and test files, launch tests in supported browser engines:
# add a production dependency
npm install --prefix awx/ui --save prod-package@1.23
```
$ make ui-test
# add the updated package.json and lock files to scm
git add awx/ui/package.json awx/ui/package-lock.json
```
Run unit tests in a CI environment (Jenkins)
## Building for Production
```shell
# built files are placed in awx/ui/static
make ui-release
```
$ make ui-test-ci
```
### Adding new dependencies
#### Add / update a bundled vendor dependency
1. `npm install --prefix awx/ui --save some-frontend-package@1.2.3`
2. Add `'some-package'` to `var vendorFiles` in `./grunt-tasks/webpack.js`
3. `npm --prefix awx/ui shrinkwrap` to freeze current dependency resolution
#### Add / update a dependecy in the build/test pipeline
1. `npm install --prefix awx/ui --save-dev some-toolchain-package@1.2.3`
2. `npm --prefix awx/ui shrinkwrap` to freeze current dependency resolution
### Polyfills, shims, patches
The Webpack pipeline will prefer module patterns in this order: CommonJS, AMD, UMD. For a comparison of supported patterns, refer to [https://webpack.github.io/docs/comparison.html](Webpack's docs).
Some javascript libraries do not export their contents as a module, or depend on other third-party components. If the library maintainer does not wrap their lib in a factory that provides a CommonJS or AMD module, you will need to provide dependencies with a shim.
1. Shim implicit dependencies using Webpack's [ProvidePlugin](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/006d59500de0493c4096d5d4cecd64eb12db2b95/lib/ProvidePlugin.js). Example:
```js
// AWX source code depends on the lodash library being available as _
_.uniq([1,2,3,1]) // will throw error undefined
```
```js
// webpack.config.js
plugins: [
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
'_': 'lodash',
})
]
```
```js
// the following requirement is inserted by webpack at build time
var _ = require('lodash');
_.uniq([1,2,3,1])
```
2. Use [`imports-loader`](https://webpack.github.io/docs/shimming-modules.html#importing) to inject requirements into the namespace of vendor code at import time. Use [`exports-loader`](https://webpack.github.io/docs/shimming-modules.html#exporting) to conventionally export vendor code lacking a conventional export pattern.
3. [Apply a functional patch](https://gist.github.com/leigh-johnson/070159d3fd780d6d8da6e13625234bb3). A webpack plugin is the correct choice for a functional patch if your patch needs to access events in a build's lifecycle. A webpack loader is preferable if you need to compile and export a custom pattern of library modules.
4. [Submit patches to libraries without modular exports](https://github.com/leigh-johnson/ngToast/commit/fea95bb34d27687e414619b4f72c11735d909f93) - the internet will thank you
Some javascript libraries might only get one module pattern right.
### Environment configuration - used in development / test builds
Build tasks are parameterized with environment variables.
`package.json` contains default environment configuration. When `npm run myScriptName` is executed, these variables will be exported to your environment with the prefix `npm_package_config_`. For example, `my_variable` will be exported to `npm_package_config_my_variable`.
Environment variables can accessed in a Javascript via `PROCESS.env`.
``` json
"config": {
"django_port": "8013",
"websocket_port": "8080",
"django_host": "0.0.0.0"
}
```
Example usage in `npm run build-docker-machine`:
```bash
$ docker-machine ssh $DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME -f -N -L ${npm_package_config_websocket_port}:localhost:${npm_package_config_websocket_port}; ip=$(docker-machine ip $DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME); echo npm set awx:django_host ${ip}; $ grunt dev
```
Example usage in an `npm test` script target:
```
npm_package_config_websocket_port=mock_websocket_port npm_package_config_django_port=mock_api_port npm_package_config_django_host=mock_api_host npm run test:someMockIntegration
```
You'll usually want to pipe and set vars prior to running a script target:
```
$ npm set awx:websocket_host ${mock_host}; npm run script-name
```
### NPM Scripts
Examples:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"pretest": "echo I run immediately before 'npm test' executes",
"posttest": "echo I run immediately after 'npm test' exits",
"test": "karma start karma.conf.js"
}
}
```
`npm test` is an alias for `npm run test`. Refer to [script field docs](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts) for a list of other runtime events.
