Introduction

This front-end was made using Angular. It uses multiple external packages, but the relevant ones are:

It was made for a Proof of Concept of a UI Builder for WHO.

To read more about the project, and how to setup the back-end, please refer to the documentation of the project.

In top of Angular, Nx was installed, to better split projects and libs.

General

The project is seperated into three sub-projects:

  • back-office, an application accessible to administrators
  • front-office, an application that would depend on the logged user
  • web-widgets, an application to genereate the web components

One library exists:

  • shared, a library for common ui / capacity, shared with other projects

Library changes should automatically be detected when serving the other projects.

Azure configuration

If you want to deploy on Azure, build back-office and front-office:

npx nx run back-office:build:azure-dev
npx nx run front-office:build:azure-dev

For prod, replace azure-dev with azure-prod. For uat, replace azure-dev with azure-uat.

The compiled applications can be found there in ./dist/apps/ folder.

Useful commands

Development server

To serve a project, run:

npx nx run <project>:server:<config>

Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

For example:

npx nx run back-office:serve

will serve back-office with default development configuration.

npx nx run back-office:serve:oort-local

will serve back-office, connecting to the deployed back-end for development.

Code scaffolding

Generate a component:

npx nx g component <component-name>

Generate a module:

npx nx g module <module-name>

You can also use npx nx generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.

Build

Run npx nx run <project>:build:<config> to build a project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/apps/ directory.

Prettify scss and html

Run npx prettier --write "**/*.{scss,html}" to execute prettier and update all scss / html files locally.

Analyze bundle

Start by building apps adding --statsJson flag. For example:

npx nx run back-office:build --statsJson

Then, run webpack-bundle-analyzer command to see the tree of your bundles:

npx webpack-bundle-analyzer dist/apps/back-office/stats.json

Storybook

UI library has its own storybook definition. To execute storybook locally, you can run:

npx nx run ui:storybook

To build it, you can run:

npx nx run ui:build-storybook

Pushing the code on the repo should automatically deploy storybook on a public environment.

Web components

To test web components, you can:

Build the web components

You can use the makefile command:

make bundle-widgets

By default, the target is azure-dev project, but you can change it like that:

make bundle-widgets project=azure-prod

The command will generate a file under the widgets folder, called app-builder.js. This is the file you'll need to deploy on Azure blob storage to provide the code.

If you need to upload files to the blob storage where we store shared assets, you can use the az commands. First, build the front-office in production mode ( any environment, but same version ). Then, run:

az storage blob upload-batch --destination {container} --account-name {accountname} --destination-path {path-to-folder-in-container} --source {path-to-folder-locally}

Common issues

Javascript heap out of memory

In case you encounter any memory issue, open your terminal and type following command, depending on your vscode terminal. You should then be able to pass your commands as before.

Bash

export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"

In case you still face issues, you can still increase it:

export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192"

Powershell

set NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"

In case you still face issues, you can still increase it:

set NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192"
