If you want to start to develop own features for the clients, then follow the following steps to setup your own development environment.

Preamble

This whole guide is based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Ubuntu 12.04+ LTS and Debian based systems should be similar if not even identical.

We assume that you already have somewhere a Psono server running. If not follow the guide to setup a Psono Server.

Installation

1. Install some generic stuff

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install -y git
   

2. Clone git repository

   git clone https://gitlab.com/psono/psono-client.git ~/psono-client
   

3. Checkout new branch

   cd ~/psono-client
   git fetch
   git checkout develop
   git checkout -b [name_of_your_new_branch]
   

4. Install requirements

   sudo var/build-ubuntu.sh
   sudo npm install http-server -g
   

Run the dev server

From this point on forward, you can develop it like any web application.

To start npm’s http-server with our web client run the following command:

http-server ~/psono-client/src/common/data/

Build everything

To build the webclient and browser extensions, use the following command:

gulp

Other useful commands are:

gulp watch # Will watch for changes and rebuild
gulp sass # Changes in the .sass files will be transpiled to css
gulp template # Changes in src/common/data/view will be compiled to a new template.js

Run Unit Tests (with coverage)

Issue the following command:

karma start ./unittests/karma-chrome.conf.js

if you want to use another browser like firefox you can also use ./unittests/karma-firefox.conf.js instead or for something more generic ./unittests/karma-generic.conf.js. If you use “generic” point the browser of your choice to the shown url.

or more sexy with gulp:

gulp unittest

or if you want to watch for changes and run it automatically:

gulp unittestwatch

The ./unittests/karma-generic.conf.js config automatically generates an karma coverage report in html format in unittests/coverage

The output of this command can be shown on http://your-ip/htmlcov/

Generate javascript docs

To generate the javascript docs run the following command

gulp docs
