This project aims to develop an HTML5 management UI for SoftEther VPN Server leveraging (by forking) the Patternfly Seed and the SoftEther VPN Server JSON-RPC API Suite.
git clone https://github.com/Leuca/softether-patternfly-ui cd softether-patternfly-ui npm install && npm run start:dev
# Install development/build dependencies npm install # Start the development server npm run start:dev # Run a production build (outputs to "dist" dir) npm run build # Run the test suite npm run test # Run the test suite with coverage npm run test:coverage # Run the linter npm run lint # Run the code formatter npm run format # Launch a tool to inspect the bundle size npm run bundle-profile:analyze # Start the express server (run a production build first) npm run start # Start storybook component explorer npm run storybook # Build storybook component explorer as standalone app (outputs to "storybook-static" dir) npm run build:storybook
It is possible to try this UI by running npm run build and copying the content of the dist folder into src/bin/hamcore/wwwroot/admin/manager, which has to be created inside a previously cloned SoftEtherVPN source code and by compliling it.
To use an image asset that's shipped with PatternFly core, you'll prefix the paths with "@assets". @assets is an alias for the PatternFly assets directory in node_modules.
For example:
import imgSrc from '@assets/images/g_sizing.png'; <img src={imgSrc} alt="Some image" />
You can use a similar technique to import assets from your local app, just prefix the paths with "@app". @app is an alias for the main src/app directory.
import loader from '@app/assets/images/loader.gif'; <img src={loader} alt="Content loading />
Inlining SVG in the app's markup is also possible.
import logo from '@app/assets/images/logo.svg'; <span dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: logo}} />
You can also use SVG when applying background images with CSS. To do this, your SVG's must live under a bgimages directory (this directory name is configurable in webpack.common.js). This is necessary because you may need to use SVG's in several other context (inline images, fonts, icons, etc.) and so we need to be able to differentiate between these usages so the appropriate loader is invoked.
body { background: url(./assets/bgimages/img_avatar.svg); }
When importing CSS from a third-party package for the first time, you may encounter the error Module parse failed: Unexpected token... You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file typ.... You need to register the path to the stylesheet directory in stylePaths.js. We specify these explicity for performance reasons to avoid webpack needing to crawl through the entire node_modules directory when parsing CSS modules.
- For accessibility compliance, we use react-axe
- To keep our bundle size in check, we use webpack-bundle-analyzer
- To keep our code formatting in check, we use prettier
- To keep our code logic and test coverage in check, we use jest
- To ensure code styles remain consistent, we use eslint
- To provide a place to showcase custom components, we integrate with storybook
This project uses dotenv-webpack for exposing environment variables to your code. Either export them at the system level like export MY_ENV_VAR=http://dev.myendpoint.com && npm run start:dev or simply drop a .env file in the root that contains your key-value pairs like below:
ENV_1=http://1.myendpoint.com ENV_2=http://2.myendpoint.com
With that in place, you can use the values in your code like console.log(process.env.ENV_1);
