UI for KBase

This project manages the User Interface (UI) for KBase tools, not including the narrative interface or documentation site kbase.us.

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App using the command npx create-react-app ui-refresh-test --template typescript.

It also includes the following:

• Redux (@reduxjs/toolkit) for state management
• react-router-dom for routing
• prettier for code formatting
• extended eslint configuration and eslint/prettier integration
• npm linting scripts (lint, lint:fix, lint:strict)
• husky to enable a lint:strict precommit hook
• .nvmrc specifying the node version
• .editorconfig for cross-editor config defaults. See editorconfig.org for compatability
• Storybook (npm run storybook) for dev docs, style examples, and component examples.

Architectural Decision Records

An architecture decision record (ADR) is a document that captures an important architecture decision made along with its context and consequences. They track major decisions that change the course of the project. You can find the ADRs for this project in docs/adrs.

Getting Started

Ensure that your node version matches the version specified in .nvmrc. We recommend using nvm to manage your node versions. Run nvm install to install and use the node version from .nvmrc.

Clone the repository into your working directory:

git clone git@github.com:kbase/ui.git

Install the dependencies:

npm install

Start the app:

npm start

Troubleshooting

• If you receive the following error message after running npm start: Invalid options object. Dev Server has been initialized using an options object that does not match the API schema. then you may need to set the following environment variable: DANGEROUSLY_DISABLE_HOST_CHECK=true

• If you are using a Mac with an M1 or M2 chip, you may run into an error caused by canvas and node-gyp after running npm install.

  • First, make sure your global python version (python --version) is under 3.12.

  • If the install step still isn't working, try to install node-canvas from source by following the Installation: Mac OS X, HomeBrew steps below or on this page.

    • brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg

  • This python aspect of this issue may become obsolete once the node-gyp peer dependency is able to upgrade to v10+.

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.

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 lint, npm run lint:fix, npm run lint:strict

Runs eslint/prettier and shows errors/warnings. npm run lint:fix will fix files in-place where possible. npm run lint:strict will fail with any errors/warnings and is used as a pre-commit hook.

npm run storybook

Opens storybook locally. Builds and watches *.stories.[tsx|mdx] files and launches a local storybook server. The storybook contains component examples and other dev documentation.
