MORE - MMB: Management & Monitoring Backend (Frontend)

The frontend`s architecture is based upon an Architectural Decision Records (ADR).

Mainly, Vue 3, vite, TS, tailwindCSS and PrimeVue are used.

Things to do to start development

npm i
npm run generate:api
npm run dev

go to http://localhost:3000

To have a consistent code style and quality, we use Eslint in combination with prettier.

Selecting backend

You can modify which backend you want to connect to by modifying the package.json file. E.g. to point to a remote backend:

• Look for the following parameter scripts->dev:local
• Change VITE_LOCAL_BACKEND=true to VITE_LOCAL_BACKEND=false
• Change the backend in the vite.config.ts file by replacing https://studymanager.platform-test.more.redlink.io/api with your URL path.

Intellij, Webstorm ESLint configuration

Set the EsLint settings for Webstorm in Preferences --> Languages & Frameworks --> Javascript --> Code Quality Tools --> ESLint

• Automatic ESLint config check
• File extensions to check: {**/*,*}.{js,ts,html,vue,json}
• Check on run eslint fix on save

Currently not working because of Intellij IDEs..., use npm run lint:fix for now

Vue Environment

Scripts

• npm i: install dependencies / node modules
• npm run dev: run app locally in dev environment
• npm run package: build app
• npm run preview: builds app and lets the build run on a server locally - more production like preview
• npm run test:unit: runs unit tests and watches for changes
• npm run test:unit:once: runs unit tests once, doesn't watch for changes
• npm run coverage: creates code coverage. run twice after installation
• npm run storybook: runs storybook on 6006
• npm run lint: runs eslint to check code quality

Testing Environment with Vitest

Vitest + Vue Test Utils + Vue Test Library + jsDom

• Vitest Documentation
• Vitest quick explanation
• Vite introduction with Vue

Storybook

The Version of Storybook has 33 Vunerabilites and will be fixed in a future version of storybook. Since Storybook won't be deployed and is only used for dumb component development in dev process, they can be ignored for now. The API will replace storybook development in the future.
