forklift-ui

Forklift UI - VMware to OpenShift Virtualization migration tool

A read-only preview with mock data is available at http://konveyor-forklift-ui-preview.surge.sh/.

Prerequisites

• NodeJS >= 16.x

Quick-start

Clone and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/konveyor/forklift-ui
cd forklift-ui
npm install

Create a meta.dev.json file in the config directory using config/meta.dev.example.json as a template. Set the inventoryApi property to the root URL of your forklift-controller inventory API, and set the clusterApi property to the root URL of your host OpenShift cluster API. And also to be able to use VMware provider data to be analysed by Migration Analytics set the inventoryPayloadApi property to the root URL of your forklift-controller inventory Payload API.

Environment variables

• DATA_SOURCE - either mock or remote (unnecessary if you use npm run [start:dev|build]:[mock|remote] scripts)
• META_FILE path (for running in prod mode with npm run start)
• BRAND_TYPE - either Konveyor (default) or RedHat

Run the UI with webpack-dev-server at localhost:9000:

npm run start:dev:remote  # uses data from the API URLs in your config/meta.dev.json file
npm run start:dev:mock    # uses static mock data, can run offline
npm run start:dev         # uses the DATA_SOURCE environment variable (remote or mock)

Development Scripts

To run the type-checker, linter and unit tests:

# Run all 3:
npm run ci
# Or run them individually:
npm run type-check
npm run lint # or lint:fix to automatically fix certain issues
npm run test # or test:watch to auto-rerun tests on file changes

Note: the npm run test script will create a coverage report at coverage/lcov-report/index.html. This is useful to inspect locally before opening a PR.

Prettier code formatting is enforced by ESLint. To run Prettier and format your code (do this before committing if you don't run Prettier in your editor):

npm run format

To run a production build using webpack (outputs to ./dist):

npm run build:remote  # uses data from the API URLs in meta.json (path set by META_FILE)
npm run build:mock    # uses static mock data, can run offline or be deployed as a preview
npm run build         # uses the DATA_SOURCE environment variable (remote or mock)

To launch a tool for inspecting the bundle size:

npm run bundle-profile:analyze

Running in production mode (run a build first)

npm run start

Configurations

• TypeScript Config
• Webpack Config
• Jest Config
• Editor Config

Import paths

TypeScript is configured to allow importing modules by their absolute path. The prefix @app/ is an alias for the main src/app/ directory.

For example:

import { PROVIDER_TYPE_NAMES } from '@app/common/constants';

In general, we should use relative paths ../ when they make sense for co-located files, and absolute paths for things located near the root. The goal is to avoid long and hard-to-read relative paths.
