GCP Datastore Emulator UI is an open-source project aimed at providing a simple yet powerful user interface for the GCP Datastore Emulator. It's built with a focus on minimal resource usage, combining Golang and Next.js to serve a static site from the same server. This approach not only simplifies deployment but also ensures low overhead.
- Lightweight Design: Optimized for minimal resource consumption.
- Basic Table View: With type badges for easy comprehension.
- Server-side Sorting: Easily sort your data for better analysis.
- Server-side Pagination: Navigate through large datasets with ease.
This project is born out of the need for a practical and non-resource intensive UI for the GCP Datastore Emulator. While many solutions exist, they often compromise on either simplicity or efficiency. The goal with this implementation is to strike the perfect balance, with a keen eye on resource optimization. The ability to edit entities directly in the UI sets this project apart from existing solutions.
Getting up and running with the GCP Datastore Emulator UI is straightforward. Follow these steps to build your own binaries using our Makefile
.
-
Clone the Repository
Start by cloning this repository to your local machine.git clone https://github.com/Cyna298/gcp-datastore-ui.git cd gcp-datastore-ui
-
Use the Makefile
We've provided a Makefile for easy building of the binaries. Make sure to update the
PROJECT_ID
variable in the Makefile to match your GCP project ID andEMU_PORT
to match the port on which your emulator is running. You can also update thePORT
variable to change the port on which the UI will be served.Navigate to the project's root directory and run:
make setup
This will compile the backend and frontend parts of the application and copy the frontend build to the backend's
out
directory. -
Run the Application
After the build is complete, you can start the application using:make run-backend
This will start the backend server and the frontend interface.
We're working towards providing standalone releases of the GCP Datastore Emulator UI. These releases will offer a simplified, one-step setup process, making it easier than ever to get started. Stay tuned for updates!
We're on an exciting journey to enhance the GCP Datastore Emulator UI. Here's a glance at what we've achieved and what we're planning next:
-
Basic Table View with Type Badges
Efficient display of data with clear type indication. -
Sorting
Organize and analyze your data with ease. -
Pagination
Navigate through large datasets more efficiently. -
Improved Build Process
Streamlining the build process for easier setup. -
V0.1.0 Release
Our first major milestone on the horizon. -
Edit Form / Detail View
Intuitive UI for directly editing entities. -
Nested Entities
Handling complex data structures with ease. -
Entity Navigation
Seamless navigation between related entities. -
Simplified Table
Enhancing performance with a new table implementation.
