Overview

This web application provides the front door into the Inetgreatly initiative. It houses the various Tutorials (aka Steel Threads) as well as a dashboard of installed products/services.

Contributing with Tutorial Web App

Local Development

❗	After startup, the webapp automatically opens in your browser (http://localhost:3006). However, you must hard refresh the page before any content is rendered.

Table 1. Prerequisites

Requirement	Version
NodeJS	>= 10

💡	Use nvm to manage NodeJS versions locally.

$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
$ . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
$ nvm install 10
$ nvm use 10

Basic setup

.1. Clone the project

First you need to clone the walkthroughs repository next to the tutorial web app:

$ git clone https://github.com/integr8ly/tutorial-web-app-walkthroughs.git
$ git clone https://github.com/integr8ly/tutorial-web-app.git

.2. Install dependencies

Then change to the webapp directory, install its dependencies and run the development server.

$ cd tutorial-web-app
$ rm -rf node_modules
$ npm install -g yarn
$ yarn install
$ yarn start:dev

❗	The webapp will automatically open (http://localhost:3006) in your browser and watch for file changes. When running locally, the available services list is mocked, and service urls set via env vars.

The webapp will also automatically load the walkthroughs from ../tutorial-web-app-walkthroughs/walkthroughs.

.3. Cluster configuration

If you are running tutorial-web-app against your cluster, then you will need to configure your cluster to allow callback to your localhost:

$ oc login <my-cluster>
$ oc patch oauthclient tutorial-web-app -p '{"redirectURIs":["http://localhost:3006"]}'

The Integreatly operator will reset this redirect url so you should stop the operator while testing. If you are developing againtst an openshift 4 cluster you need to use the command below, be sure to update the urls to the ones on your cluster.

OPENSHIFT_OAUTHCLIENT_ID=integreatly-solution-explorer OPENSHIFT_OAUTH_HOST=<openshift oauth url> OPENSHIFT_API=<openshift api url> OPENSHIFT_HOST=<openshift console url> SSO_ROUTE=<rhsso url> OPENSHIFT_VERSION='4' INSTALLED_SERVICES='{  "3scale": {    "Host": "<3scale url>",    "Version": "2.6"  },  "codeready": {    "Host": "<codeready url",    "Version": "1.2.0.GA"  },  "fuse-managed": {    "Host": "<fuse url>",    "Version": "1.4"  },  "user-rhsso": {    "Host": "<user sso url>",    "Version": "v7.3.2.GA"  }}' yarn start:dev

.4. Setup Local Development of Walkthroughs

This section describes how to set up the Webapp for Walkthrough authors. It is recommended to put your Walkthroughs in a separate directory that you later publish on Github or another git hosting provider.

.4.1. Layout of your Walkthroughs directory

The recommended layout for a Walkthroughs directory consists of a subfolder named walkthroughs and two files:

.
└── walkthroughs
    ├── <Walkthrough ID>
    │   ├── images
    │   │   └── image.png
    │   ├── walkthrough.adoc
    │   └── walkthrough.json
    ├── 2-walkthrough-two-short-description
    └── 3-walkthrough-three-short-description

Table 2. Struture Definition

Dir	Description
Walkthrough ID	The Walkthrough ID will be used in the URL of the Tutorial Web App. It must be unique and should match ^[a-zA-Z0-9_].$
walkthrough.adoc	The main content of the Walkthrough in Asciidoc format. It is recommended to have all content in a single file. Please refer to the documentation of Asciidoctor to learn more about Asciidoc
walkthrough.json	The Walkthrough manifest file. Currently contains information about Walkthrough extra dependencies.

walkthrough.json format

The walkthrough.json file is used to describe extra dependencies of your walkthrough. At the moment this means either additional service instances or git repositories that your Walkthrough depends on. The basic file structure is:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "repos": [],
    "serviceInstances": []
  }
}

walkthrough.json: repos

You can specify repositories that will be created for Walkthrough users in the cluster’s [Gitea](https://gitea.io/en-us/) instance. The repositories will only be created once a user starts a walkthrough. The format is:

{
  "repoName": "<Repo Name in Gitea>",
  "cloneUrl": "<Optional: clone from external repo>"
}

walkthrough.json: serviceInstances

You can also specify additional service dependencies that will allow the users of your Walkthrough to use those services. Please note that the Services have to be present on the cluster already. Adding a service dependency creates a service instance that links that service to the user’s Walkthrough project.

Services can expose routes and they will be made available to the Walkthrough as an attribute in the form of route-<route name>-host. The value of this attribute will be <protocol>://<route>.

{
  "metadata": {
    "name": "<Service Name>",
    "labels": { "<Example Label Name>": "<Example Label Value>" }
  },
  "spec": {
    "clusterServiceClassExternalName": "<External Name of the ClusterServiceClass>",
    "clusterServicePlanExternalName": "default"
  }
}

.4.2. Importing your external Walkthroughs into the Webapp

Once you have the file structure in place you can import your Walkthrough into the Webapp for testing purposes. Inside the webapp root directory run:

WALKTHROUGH_LOCATIONS=<path/to/your/walkthrough/folder> yarn start:dev

This will start the Webapp in development mode and import your Walkthroughs. You can also locally test against a remote Openshift instance:

OPENSHIFT_HOST=<openshift master url> OPENSHIFT_OAUTH_HOST=<openshift oauth url> WALKTHROUGH_LOCATIONS=<path/to/your/walkthrough/folder> yarn start:dev

After you’ve made changes to your walkthrough you can restart the webapp server by typing rs into the terminal where the Webapp process is running and hitting return. Refresh your browser and your changes should be reflected.

💡

You can also specify a git reference in the form of a URL in WALKTHROUGH_LOCATIONS. By default the repository will be cloned inside the temporary directory /tmp but you can override this using TMP_DIR. Every time the webapp starts it will create a fresh clone of the walkthrough repositories. By default the master branch of the repository gets cloned. But you can specify a branch or tag by appending #<branch or tag name> to the URL, for example: WALKTHROUGH_LOCATIONS="https://github.com/user/repo#branch-or-tag" If the walkthroughs are not inside the typical walkthroughs/ folder in your repository you can specify the directory via a querystring param like so: WALKTHROUGH_LOCATIONS="https://github.com/user/repo?walkthroughsFolder=/custom/location#branch-or-tag" You can specify multiple walkthrough folders in same repo if you want: WALKTHROUGH_LOCATIONS="https://github.com/user/repo?walkthroughsFolder=/custom/location&walkthroughsFolder=/another/custom/location#branch-or-tag"

.5. Developing Walkthroughs on Openshift

If you’re a walkthrough developer and you are working against an the Webapp on an Openshift instance, you can point that instance to your custom Walkthroughs repository.

Open the webapp project on the cluster and within that project, open the tutorial-web-app deployment. Click Edit and switch to the Environment tab.

You should see an env var named WALKTHROUGH_LOCATIONS. Add your repository (the separator is ,), for example:

https://github.com/integr8ly/tutorial-web-app-walkthroughs.git,https://github.com/integr8ly/example-customisations.git

You can refer to specific branches, for example, #my-feature.

A git reference can be deployed to a remote OpenShift cluster.

$ cd deployment
$ ./create_webapp.sh openshift.example.com:8443 webapp-001 development

ℹ️	The cluster must be setup for cors manually. This requires adding the webapp route to the corsAllowedOrigins block in master-config.yml.

To rebuild & redeploy:

$ oc start-build -n webapp-001 tutorial-web-app

ℹ️	When changes are made to your repository you can send a POST request to the /sync-walkthroughs endpoint. This will re-clone the repositories, the new walkthroughs will then be visible in the web app.

Following some local setup options.

.5.1. Deployment to OpenShift (Remote Non-Development Setup)

A git reference can be deployed to a remote OpenShift cluster.

$ cd deployment
$ ./create_webapp.sh openshift.example.com:8443 webapp-001 development

ℹ️	The cluster must be setup for CORS manually. This requires adding the webapp route to the corsAllowedOrigins block in master-config.yml.

To rebuild & redeploy:

$ oc start-build -n webapp-001 tutorial-web-app

.5.2. Deployment to OpenShift (Non-Development Setup)

$ oc new-project tutorial-web-app
$ find . | grep openshiftio | grep application | xargs -n 1 oc apply -f
$ oc new-app --template react-demo-app -p SOURCE_REPOSITORY_URL=https://github.com/priley86/integr8ly-prototype -p SOURCE_REPOSITORY_REF=development

Running the tests

Tests are implemented using Jest, Enzyme, and Stylelint. Run them with:

$ yarn test

Releasing
