ONOS UI

Updated Development Tools (WIP)

• cd $ONOS_ROOT/tools/gui
• gulp
• npm run dev

Development environment

To help with UI development we provide a dedicated environment that introduce an auto reload feature and allow you to change your javascript files without recompiling the application.

To get started:

• Be sure to have Node Js installed
• Enter web/gui/src/main/webapp/ folder
• Run npm install to install required dependency
• Run npm start to open start the development environment

In the console you should see something like:

Dev server is up and listening on http://localhost: 8182
[BS] Proxying: http://localhost:8181
[BS] Access URLs:
 ----------------------------------
       Local: http://localhost:3000
    External: http://10.1.8.46:3000
 ----------------------------------
          UI: http://localhost:3002
 UI External: http://10.1.8.46:3002
 ----------------------------------
[BS] Watching files...

To open ONOS visit the local URL (eg: http://localhost:3000) plus /onos/ui (eg: http://localhost:3000/onos/ui)

Loading files from external applications

The UI development environment provide the ability to serve UI files from an external forlder that can be specified with: ONOS_EXTERNAL_APP_DIRS="appName:path-to-the-first-folder" npm start

Eg: ONOS_EXTERNAL_APP_DIRS="sampleCustom:../../meow/sample/meowster-sample/" npm start

Note that ONOS_EXTERNAL_APP_DIRS is an environment variable,so it can be set with export ONOS_EXTERNAL_APP_DIRS="sampleCustom:../../meow/sample/meowster-sample/"
