FOSSology UI

About FOSSology

FOSSology is an open source license compliance software system and toolkit. As a toolkit, you can run license, copyright and export control scans from the command line. As a system, a database and web UI are provided to give you a compliance workflow. In one click you can generate an SPDX file or a ReadMe with all the copyrights notices from your software. FOSSology deduplication means that you can scan an entire distro, rescan a new version, and only the changed files will get rescanned. This is a big time saver for large projects.

Overview

The UI Migration project is an effort focused on generating the new component-based architecture with the integration of the APIs. To make the project more efficient and easily accessible, an entire code base shift from Symfony-Twig to React.js is proposed. React.js features an incrementally adaptable architecture that focuses on declarative rendering and component composition. React.js component system will enable us to organize the current working APIs appropriately.

Objectives

Working on good interactive design, with a modern look.
Integrating the APIs to the new component-based UI structure.
Seamless routing and page transitions.
Giving the power of the node engine to our UI. Making all NPM accessible.
Writing detailed documentation of the project, to make the codebase simpler for other contributors.

Requirements

NodeJS and NPM or yarn

Installation

Docker

Development

FOSSology comes with a Dockerfile allowing for containerized execution.

This method only requires that you have the Docker engine and docker-compose installed on your machine.

Added benefits to this method other than the ones that docker already provides is you are not confined to developing in the docker container. You can also develop using your local modules as defined above.

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml pull fossology_server && docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up     #Starts the react-dev-server on localhost:3000

On Windows you might have to forego the && and run both commands individually.

Running the docker-compose pull ... command each time you run the docker container isn't required but recommended so as to get the latest fossology image.

This will start the react-dev-server on localhost on port:3000.

The docker image can then be used using http://IP_OF_DOCKER_HOST:3000/ user fossy password fossy. (IP_OF_DOCKER_HOST is generally localhost)

You can even run it detached in the background using the -d option.

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
docker-compose logs  #To view server logs

npm packages can be installed using docker-compose exec

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml exec -w /usr/src/fossologyui fossologyui_server yarn add <package name> #Install npm package for react-dev-server

Once done developing, you can clean up running containers and networks using:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml down

Production

For production level deployment you can use:

docker build \
-t fossologyui:react1.0 \
--build-arg REACT_APP_SERVER_URL="localhost/repo/api/v2" \
--build-arg REACT_APP_HTTPS="false" .

for building the image and then host the image using:

docker run -p 3000:3000 fossologyui:react1.0

The docker image would then be hosted on http://IP_OF_DOCKER_HOST:3000/ user fossy password fossy. (IP_OF_DOCKER_HOST is generally localhost)

Alternatively, you can also deploy it using docker-compose:

docker-compose up

You can even run it detached in the background using the -d option.

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs  #To view server logs

Deployed image can be pulled down using:

docker-compose down

This will clean up running containers and networks.

Project Setup

Create a .env in root directory of project and copy the contents from .env.sample
Installs the packages:

 yarn

Runs the app in the development mode at http://localhost:3000

yarn start

Deployment

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode. See the section about running tests for more information.

yarn test

Builds the app for production to the build folder.

yarn build

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.
