open-vault/ui

vault

This README outlines the details of collaborating on this Ember application. A short introduction of this app could easily go here.

Prerequisites

You will need the following things properly installed on your computer.

• Node.js (with NPM)
• Yarn
• Ember CLI

Running / Development

To get all of the JavaScript dependencies installed, run this in the ui directory:

yarn

If you want to run Vault UI and proxy back to a Vault server running on the default port, 8200, run the following in the ui directory:

• yarn run start

This will start an Ember CLI server that proxies requests to port 8200, and enable live rebuilding of the application as you change the UI application code. Visit your app at http://localhost:4200.

If your Vault server is running on a different port you can use the long-form version of the npm script:

ember server --proxy=http://localhost:PORT

Code Generators

Make use of the many generators for code, try ember help generate for more details

Running Tests

Running tests will spin up a Vault dev server on port 9200 via a pretest script that testem (the test runner) executes. All of the acceptance tests then run, proxing requests back to that server.

• yarn run test-oss
• yarn run test-oss -s to keep the test server running after the initial run.
• yarn run test -f="policies" to filter the tests that are run. -f gets passed into QUnit's filter config

Building Vault UI into a Vault Binary

We use go-bindata-assetfs to build the static assets of the Ember application into a Vault binary.

This can be done by running these commands from the root directory run: make static-dist make dev-ui

This will result in a Vault binary that has the UI built-in - though in a non-dev setup it will still need to be enabled via the ui config or setting VAULT_UI environment variable.
