Terraware Web

This is the front end web app for the Terraware application from Terraformation.

The web app provides seed inventory management capabilities - with two main areas of focus: the seed processing workflow and monitoring of a seed bank's physical infrastructure.

About this open-source project

If you're not a Terraformation employee, thanks for checking this repo out!

We're offering this project as Apache-licensed open source in the interest of sharing our technology with the world and being transparent about our work. Our mission is to accelerate global native forest restoration, and we believe we'll get there faster by sharing what we do.

For the moment, we're not asking for code contributions from the community. (Check our careers page if you're itching to work on this code!)

You may see references to some private repositories in the documentation. We're working toward opening more of our code, but not everything is ready yet.

How to Run the App in Development Mode

1. Configure the .env file using the sample file .env.sample located at the root directory of this repo.
2. Login to Docker hub

docker login

3. Install dependencies

yarn

4. Start the app

yarn docker:start  # Run the server code
yarn start         # Run the front-end code

5. Login. If you configured your environment variables correctly then you'll be taken to a keycloak login page. You may also try to login using through this API endpoint.

http://localhost:8080/api/v1/login?redirect=http://localhost:3000/

6. Stop the app

yarn docker:stop
# Stop the process running the frontend

How to Contribute

Before putting up a pull request, make sure to run the following commands. The CI will check that these steps are completed.

yarn generate-types  # generate types for any server side API changes
yarn format          # run code formatter
yarn lint            # run linter to check for code quality issues
yarn ts              # run the typescript types checker
yarn test            # run the Jest (unit and integration) tests
# run the end to end tests, see the section below for more details

Tip: you can run everything except the end-to-end tests using:

yarn generate-types && yarn format && yarn lint && yarn ts && yarn test

How to Run the End-to-End Tests

Execute this command before each run of the end-to-end tests. This script does two things. #1 it downloads and start a Docker image for the terraware backend server and #2 it resets the state of the terraware database.

yarn server:reset

Tip: if you want to save the contents of a terraware database that you're using for manual testing, you can dump the contents of that database and reload them later. You can also rename the existing database using the following commands.

# connect to another local psql database that isn't terraware
psql postgres
# rename the existing terraware database to save it's contents
ALTER DATABASE terraware RENAME TO terrawareTEMP;

To run the end-to-end tests:

yarn server:reset   # start server and reset database state
yarn start:dev      # start the frontend
yarn playwright:run # run the tests on the command line and generate a report
yarn docker:stop    # don't forget to stop the server when you're done

Connecting to the Database

If you want to examine or change the database that's used for your local testing, you can run the PostgreSQL interactive command-line client. This will only work after you've run scripts/resetdb.sh or yarn docker:start.

docker-compose exec postgres psql -U postgres terraware

To exit the PostgreSQL client, type \quit or hit control-D.
