Folder structure

|-cloudbeaver
  |-webapp                 # all frontend codes are here
    |-packages             # yarn workspaces managed by lerna
      |-core               # core package with common modules like GraphQL,

Plugin folder structure

common folder structure:

package_name
 |-node_modules           # dependencies
 |-lib                    # after the build will contain the artifact
 |-public                 # put static assets to this folder
 |-src                    # keep source files here
   |-index.ts             # contains re-exports
   |-manifest.ts          # contains list of services, plugin name and description
   |-PluginBootstrap.ts   # common plugin registration and initialization logic
 |-package.json
 |-tsconfig.json

Commands

Execute from cloudbeaver/webapp

yarn run bootstrap

Load all dependencies and init workspaces

yarn run build

Build all packages (plugins and the application) and the result will be placed in the packages/{package-name}/lib folder

yarn run lint

Lint all code

yarn run lint-fix

Lint all code and fix

Build plugin

To build a single plugin execute

yarn lerna run build --stream --scope=@cloudbeaver/plugin-name

Build product

Product folder structure is the same as for plugin

|-packages
  |-cloudbeaver
    |-node_modules     # dependencies
    |-lib              # after the build will contain the artifact
    |-public           # put static assets to this folder
    |-src              # keep source files here
    |-package.json
    |-tsconfig.json

The only difference in the build command is: "build": "core-cli-build --mode=production --config ../core-cli/configs/webpack.product.config.js", it uses product config, also contains dev command for starting development local build "dev": "core-cli-build serve --mode=development --progress --config=../core-cli/configs/webpack.product.dev.config.js --port=3100",

The application package simple defines the list of plugins that should be included in the build

Commands

Execute the command to build only the application without rebuilding the plugins

yarn lerna run build --stream --scope=@cloudbeaver/product-name

Development

  1. To run a development build that watches file changes and rebuilds, you can use the dev command: yarn lerna run dev --stream --scope=@cloudbeaver/product-default -- -- --env server=http://backend.server:8095 It starts the dev server for product-default. It also proxies backend requests to http://backend.server:8095

  2. Navigate localhost:3100 to open the application

Static assets

You can keep static assets like images, favicon, etc in the public folder in the plugin packages or app package.

Assets such as these will be copied to the application distributive. Assets with the same name will overwrite one another, but the Application public assets have higher priority over them all.

Localization

See the example in the core-administration AdministrationLocaleService.ts and locales folder
