Dashboard
Twister2 dashboard has two components.
- Front End Web application; A ReactJS based web application
- Web server; A spring boot application, which exposes a RESTful Web Service (JAX-RS)
Even though (2) Embedded web server, has been included in the main bazel build, (1) Front End Web application should be build separately.
Prerequisites to build web application
- Node 6 or later : Download
- NPM 5.2 or later : How to Setup
- SASS : How to setup
Compiling web application
Having all above prerequisites ready, navigate to the root folder of dashboard client.
cd dashboard/client
Building SCSS
Now build SCSS files to produce CSS files with following command
npm run build-css
Building React app
Use below command to build the react application.
npm run build
This will create an optimized production build in {twister2_root}/dashboard/server/src/main/resources/static directory.
Building Dashboard
As the final step, run the main twister2 build, to generate all the binaries including dashboard.
