# Image Builder Frontend

Frontend code for Image Builder.

## Project

* **Website**: https://www.osbuild.org
* **Bug Tracker**: https://github.com/osbuild/image-builder-frontend/issues
* **Discussions**: https://github.com/orgs/osbuild/discussions
* **Matrix**: #image-builder on [fedoraproject.org](https://matrix.to/#/#image-builder:fedoraproject.org)

## Principles

1. We want to use the latest and greatest web technologies.
2. We want to expose all the options and customizations possible, even if not all are visible by default.
3. The default path should be ‘short(est)’ clickpath, which should be determined in a data-driven way.
4. This is an [Insights application](https://github.com/RedHatInsights/), so it abides by some rules and standards of Insights.

## How to build and run image-builder-frontend

### Frontend Development

To develop the frontend you can use a proxy to run image-builder-frontend locally
against the chrome and backend at console.redhat.com.

Working against the production environment is preferred, as any work can be released without
worrying if a feature from stage has been released yet.

#### Nodejs and npm version

Make sure you have npm@10 and node 22+ installed. If you need multiple versions of nodejs check out [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm).

#### Webpack proxy

1. run `npm ci`

2. run `npm run start:prod`

3. redirect `prod.foo.redhat.com` to localhost, if this has not been done already

```bash
echo "127.0.0.1 prod.foo.redhat.com" >> /etc/hosts
```

4. open browser at `https://prod.foo.redhat.com:1337/beta/insights/image-builder`

#### Webpack proxy (staging) -- *Runs with image-builder's stage deployment*

1. run `npm ci`

2. run `npm run start:stage`

3. redirect `stage.foo.redhat.com` to localhost, if this has not been done already

```bash
echo "127.0.0.1 stage.foo.redhat.com" >> /etc/hosts
```

4. open browser at `https://stage.foo.redhat.com:1337/beta/insights/image-builder`

#### Insights proxy (deprecated)

1. Clone the insights proxy: https://github.com/RedHatInsights/insights-proxy

2. Setting up the proxy

    Choose a runner (podman or docker), and point the SPANDX_CONFIG variable to
    `profile/local-frontend.js` included in image-builder-frontend.

    ```bash
        sudo insights-proxy/scripts/patch-etc-hosts.sh
        export RUNNER="podman"
        export SPANDX_CONFIG=$PATH_TO/image-builder-frontend/profiles/local-frontend.js
        sudo -E insights-proxy/scripts/run.sh
    ```

3. Starting up image-builder-frontend

    In the image-builder-frontend checkout directory

    ```bash
        npm install
        npm start
    ```

The UI should be running on
https://prod.foo.redhat.com:1337/beta/insights/image-builder/landing.
Note that this requires you to have access to either production or stage (plus VPN and proxy config) of insights.

#### API endpoints

API slice definitions are programmatically generated using the [@rtk-query/codegen-openapi](https://redux-toolkit.js.org/rtk-query/usage/code-generation) package.

OpenAPI schema for the endpoints are stored in `/api/schema`. Their
corresponding configuration files are stored in `/api/config`. Each endpoint
has a corresponding empty API slice and generated API slice which are stored in
`/src/store`.

##### Add a new API

For a hypothetical API called foobar

1. Download the foobar API OpenAPI json or yaml representation under
`api/schema/foobar.json`

2. Create a new "empty" API file under `src/store/emptyFoobarApi.ts` that has following
content:

```typescript
import { createApi, fetchBaseQuery } from '@reduxjs/toolkit/query/react';

import { FOOBAR_API } from '../constants';

// initialize an empty api service that we'll inject endpoints into later as needed
export const emptyFoobarApi = createApi({
  reducerPath: 'foobarApi',
  baseQuery: fetchBaseQuery({ baseUrl: window.location.origin + FOO_BAR }),
  endpoints: () => ({}),
});
```

3. Declare new constant `FOOBAR_API` with the API url in `src/constants.ts`

```typescript
export const FOOBAR_API = 'api/foobar/v1'
```

4. Create the config file for code generation in `api/config/foobar.ts` containing:

```typescript
import type { ConfigFile } from '@rtk-query/codegen-openapi';

const config: ConfigFile = {
  schemaFile: '../schema/foobar.json',
  apiFile: '../../src/store/emptyFoobarApi.ts',
  apiImport: 'emptyEdgeApi',
  outputFile: '../../src/store/foobarApi.ts',
  exportName: 'foobarApi',
  hooks: true,
  filterEndpoints: ['getFoo', 'getBar', 'getFoobar'],
};
```

5. Update the `api.sh` script by adding a new line for npx to generate the code:

```bash
npx @rtk-query/codegen-openapi ./api/config/foobar.ts &
```


6. Update the `.eslintignore` file by adding a new line for the generated code:

```
foobarApi.ts
```

7. run api generation

```bash
npm run api
```

And voilà!

##### Add a new endpoint

To add a new endpoint, simply update the `api/config/foobar.ts` file with new
endpoints in the `filterEndpoints` table.

#### Unleash feature flags

Your user needs to have the corresponding rights, do the
same as this MR in internal gitlab https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/service/app-interface/-/merge_requests/79225
you can ask on the slack channel https://redhat-internal.slack.com/archives/C023YSA47A4 for a merge if your MR stays unchecked for a little while.

Then connect to the following platforms:
* https://insights-stage.unleash.devshift.net/ for stage
* https://insights.unleash.devshift.net prod

Once you have a toggle to work with, on the frontend code there's just need to
import the `useFlag` hook and to use it. You can get some inspiration from
existing flags:

https://github.com/RedHatInsights/image-builder-frontend/blob/c84b493eba82ce83a7844943943d91112ffe8322/src/Components/ImagesTable/ImageLink.js#L99

##### Mocking flags for tests

Flags can be mocked for the unit tests to access some feature. Checkout:
https://github.com/osbuild/image-builder-frontend/blob/9a464e416bc3769cfc8e23b62f1dd410eb0e0455/src/test/Components/CreateImageWizard/CreateImageWizard.test.tsx#L49

If the two possible code path accessible via the toggles are defined in the code
base, then it's good practice to test the two of them. If not, only test what's
actually owned by the frontend project.


##### Cleaning the flags

Unleash toggles are expected to live for a limited amount of time, documentation
specify 40 days for a release, we should keep that in mind for each toggle
we're planning on using.

### Backend Development

To develop both the frontend and the backend you can again use the proxy to run both the
frontend and backend locally against the chrome at cloud.redhat.com. For instructions
see the [osbuild-getting-started project](https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild-getting-started).

## File Structure

### OnPremise Development - Cockpit Build and Install

## Overview

The following scripts are used to build the frontend with Webpack and install it into the Cockpit directories. These scripts streamline the development process by automating build and installation steps.

### Scripts

#### 1. Build the Cockpit Frontend

Runs Webpack with the specified configuration (cockpit/webpack.config.ts) to build the frontend assets.
Use this command whenever you need to compile the latest changes in your frontend code.

Creates the necessary directory in the user's local Cockpit share (~/.local/share/cockpit/).
Creates a symbolic link (image-builder-frontend) pointing to the built frontend assets (cockpit/public).
Use this command after building the frontend to install it locally for development purposes.
The symbolic link allows Cockpit to serve the frontend assets from your local development environment,
making it easier to test changes in real-time without deploying to a remote server.

```bash
make cockpit/devel-install
```

```bash
make cockpit/build
```

To uninstall and remove the symbolic link, run the following command:

```bash
make cockpit/devel-uninstall
```

For convenience, you can run the following to combine all three steps:


```bash
make cockpit/devel
```

## Style Guidelines

This project uses eslint's recommended styling guidelines. These rules can be found here:
https://eslint.org/docs/rules/

To run the linter, use:
```bash
npm run lint
```

Any errors that can be fixed automatically, can be corrected by running:
```bash
npm run lint --fix
```

All the linting rules and configuration of eslint can be found in [`.eslintrc.yml`](https://github.com/RedHatInsights/image-builder-frontend/blob/main/.eslintrc.yml).

### Additional eslint rules
There are also additional rules added to enforce code style. Those being:
- `import/order` -> enforces the order in import statements and separates them into groups based on their type
- `prefer-const` -> enforces use of `const` declaration for variables that are never reassigned
- `no-console` -> throws an error for any calls of `console` methods leftover after debugging

## Test Guidelines

This project is tested using the [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/guide/) framework, [React Testing Library](https://testing-library.com/docs/react-testing-library/intro), and the [Mock Service Worker](https://mswjs.io/docs/) library.

All UI contributions must also include a new test or update an existing test in order to maintain code coverage.

### Running the tests

To run the unit tests, the linter, and the code coverage check run:
```bash
npm run test
```

These tests will also be run in our CI when a PR is opened.

Note that `testing-library` DOM printout is currently disabled for all tests by the following configuration in `src/test/setup.ts`:
```typescript
configure({
  getElementError: (message: string) => {
    const error = new Error(message);
    error.name = 'TestingLibraryElementError';
    error.stack = '';
    return error;
  },
});
```
If you'd like to see the stack printed out you can either temporarily disable the configuration or generate a [Testing Playground](https://testing-playground.com/) link by adding `screen.logTestingPlaygroundURL()` to your test.

### ~~Using MSW data in development~~ - CURRENTLY NOT WORKING

If you want to develop in environment with mocked data, run the command `npm run stage-beta:msw`.

#### Enabling MSW
In a case you're seeing `Error: [MSW] Failed to register the Service Worker` in console, you might also need to configure SSL certification on your computer.

In order to do this install [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert)

After the installation, go to the `/node_modules/.cache/webpack-dev-server` folder and run following commands:

1. `mkcert -install`  to create a new certificate authority on your machine
2. `mkcert prod.foo.redhat.com`  to create the actual signed certificate

#### Mac Configuration
Follow these steps to find and paste the certification file into the 'Keychain Access' application:

1. Open the 'Keychain Access' application.

2. Select 'login' on the left side.

3. Navigate to the 'Certificates' tab.

4. Drag the certification file (located at /image-builder-frontend/node_modules/.cache/webpack-dev-server/server.pem) to the certification list.

5. Double-click on the added certificate (localhost certificate) to open the localhost window.

6. Open the 'Trust' dropdown menu.

7. Set all options to 'Always Trust'.

8. Close the localhost screen.

9. Run `npm run stage-beta:msw` and open the Firefox browser to verify that it is working as expected.

## Running hosted service Playwright tests

1. Copy the [example env file](playwright_example.env) content and create a file named `.env` in the root directory of the project. Paste the example file content into it.
   For local development fill in the:
    * `BASE_URL` - `https://stage.foo.redhat.com:1337` is required, which is already set in the example config
    * `PLAYWRIGHT_USER` - your consoledot stage username
    * `PLAYWRIGHT_PASSWORD` - your consoledot stage password

2. Make sure Playwright is installed as a dev dependency
   ```bash
   npm ci
   ```

3. Download the Playwright browsers with 
   ```bash
   npx playwright install
   ```

4. Start the local development stage server by running 
   ```bash
   npm run start:stage
   ```

5. Now you have two options of how to run the tests:
   * (Preferred) Use VS Code and the [Playwright Test module for VSCode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-playwright.playwright). But other editors do have similar plugins for ease of use, if so desired
   * Using terminal - `npx playwright test` will run the playwright test suite. `npx playwright test --headed` will run the suite in a vnc-like browser so you can watch it's interactions.
