Console

Overview

Console is a web based UI for managing resources within Kyma. The Kyma installer comes with the console application. Console is installed together with all the Kyma core components.

Installation

Install the Kyma

  • Clone the kyma repository.
  • Read the Run on local minikube section of the README file in the installation folder.
  • Run the ./cmd/run.sh script as described in the README file.
  • Check the status by calling ./scripts/is-installed.sh script.

Now you can access Console by name from the browser at https://console.kyma.local. A dedicated Docker container serves this application from inside the Kyma cluster.

Import the TLS cerificate

Kyma comes with a built-in TLS certificate for the kyma.local domain. This certificate is self-signed. So web browsers do not trust it by default. To improve your development experience, import this certificate into your operating system and mark it as trusted. Otherwise, you have to accept self-signed certificates explicitly in the browser before you can access the applications hosted in the kyma.local domain.

Development

To simplify development, set up another instance of the Console application served directly from your machine. The following section provides you with a step-by-step guide to set up the Console application for development. Keep Kyma running. You need it as a backing service for your local instance of Console. Follow these steps:

  • Clone this repository
  • Run cd core to change to the core directory
  • Run npm install
  • Run npm i ng-cli to install angular CLI
  • Update your /etc/hosts file to include 127.0.0.1 console-dev.kyma.local
  • Run the command npm start to serve the console locally,
  • Access the local instance of Console in the browser at http://console-dev.kyma.local:4200
  • Login to Console as [email protected]

Code style

Your contributions must match the style guide used in Console. Console uses Prettier for code formatting. For convenience, husky installs the Git pre-commit hook, so you do not need to perform any additional work. Remember to run npm install in the root folder (../) of this repository, to install both tools.

Console configuration

All the configuration comes from app.config.ts.

The console inside the container follows the conventions for helm charts. This means:

  • The console sub chart has its own values file, which configures values for the chart templates.
  • The parent chart values, in this case, core values, can overwrite those values on the console level.
  • Providing those values when calling the helm install command can implicitly overwrite the values.

Now, the Console consumes the resulting values in the application:

  • console contains a Kubernetes config map object which consumes the resulting values.
  • the Console application mounts this config map as a config.js file. Check the deployment.yaml.
  • this config.js file declares an additional clusterConfig object on the window object, and is then consumed in the app.config.ts file for overwriting the default values.

Code scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.

Build the project

Run ng build to build the project. The system stores the build artifacts in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.

Run unit tests

Run ng test to run the unit tests through Karma.

Run ng linter

Run ng lint to run the static code quality analysis.
