# 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:
- `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:
- `make install` or `npm install`
3. Generate the TS code from the GrapQL files and run the webui in development mode:
- `make start` or `npm start`
- 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.
