git-bug rich web UI

Prerequisites

ReactJS | Material UI | GraphQL | Apollo GraphQL

How to develop

Run GraphQL backend

1. Download a git-bug stable binary or compile your own by running make in the root directory:

2. Run the git-bug binary inside your git repository. It will manage issues and start the API:

3. git-bug webui -p 3001

Run ReactJS front-end

1. If you haven't already, clone the git-bug repository:

2. Enter the webui directory and install the needed libraries:

3. make install or npm install

4. Generate the TS code from the GrapQL files and run the webui in development mode:

5. make start or npm start
6. If you get some lint errors, run the lint command below and start again:
   • make fix-lint or npm run lint -- --fix
   • make start or npm start

The development version of the WebUI is configured to query the backend on the port 3001. You can now live edit the js code and use the normal backend.

Bundle the web UI

Once the webUI is good enough for a new release: 1. run make build from webui folder 2. run make pack-webui from the root directory to bundle the compiled js into the go binary. - You must have Go installed on Your machine to run this command.
