ONOS GUI 2.0.0

This project is based on Angular 6 and ES6 (aka ES2015), as an alternative to the 1.0.0 GUI which was based off AngularJS 1.3.5

Building, testing and running lint are all handled by Bazel. See web/gui2/BUILD file.

To use this new GUI you simply have to start the GUI in a running ONOS at the onos> cli:

feature:install onos-gui2

and the gui will be accessible at http://localhost:8181/onos/ui2

As usual with ONOS if you want to run it in a different language set the ONOS_LOCALE environment variable to the locale you want before starting onos. e.g.

ONOS_LOCALE=fr_FR SHLVL=1 bazel run onos-local

Development

There are 2 ways to go about development -

rebuild the code and rerun through Bazel (much like can be done with any ordinary ONOS app) (this is not optimal though since in this mode the browser side code is built in '--prod' mode and all debug symbols are stripped and debug statements are not logged and the code is uglified and minimized. It is useful for testing "prod" mode works though and saves having to set up direct development) OR
use Angular 6 CLI (ng command) to rebuild on the fly (must faster for development)

For 1) (this needs to be updated for Bazel commands) if you change the code you can redeploy the application without restarting ONOS with (requires you to be in ~/onos directory):

onos-buck build //web/gui2:onos-web-gui2-oar --show-output|grep /app.oar | cut -d\  -f2 | xargs onos-app localhost reinstall!

For 2) it's well worth becoming familiar with Angular CLI. The project is created with Angular CLI v6 to simplify development of the browser side code. It is complicated to set up, but is worth the effort if you have more than a day's worth of development to do. This allows you to develop the Angular 6 TypeScript code independent of ONOS in a separate container. Since WebSockets have been implemented - there is a requirement to run ONOS in the background.

There is no need to install node, npm or ng again on your system, and indeed if they are already installed, it's best to use the versions of these that's used by Bazel. To do this add the following 2 entries to the start of your PATH environment variable.

~/.cache/bazel/_bazel_scondon/8beba376f58d295cf3282443fe02c21a/external/nodejs/bin/nodejs/bin

(where ~/.cache/bazel/_bazel_scondon/8beba376f58d295cf3282443fe02c21a should be replaced by an equivalent folder on your system)

~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/

The first time you run this you will have to go to the framework folder and run "npm install"

cd ~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib && \
npm install

This will install all the vendor Javascript implementations that are listed in package.json (including 'ng' - the Angular CLI command) in to ~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib/node_modules

After this you should be able to cd in to ~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib and run 'ng -v' and see:

Angular CLI: 6.0.0
Node: 8.11.1
OS: linux x64

GUI FW Lib

The GUI2 framework is in ~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib and the GUI application is in ~/onos/web/gui2 (and depends on the framework).

The GUI2 framework is a library inside its own mini application (unrelated to the main GUI application) - every thing of importance is in projects/gui2-fw-lib. The own application is just a wrapper around the framework library - it has to be there for Angular CLI to work.

If you make any changes here or are using it for the first time it will need to be built

pushd ~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib && \
ng build gui2-fw-lib && \
cd dist/gui2-fw-lib && \
npm pack && \
popd

To test and lint it use

ng lint gui2-fw-lib && \
ng test gui2-fw-lib

This packages the Framework up in to onos/web/gui2-fw-lib/dist/gui2-fw-lib/gui2-fw-lib-0.14.0.tgz

GUI2 Application

The application contains the ONOS index.html and all of the tabular views and the topology view. It references the gui2-fw-lib, as just another dependency.

To use this application in Angular CLI for development on your system, you need to:

Change directory in to onos/web/gui2 - this is where you will run the ng command from.
Run npm install once from this folder to add dependencies
Then run 'ng -v' from onos/web/gui2 and an additional version should be shown Angular: 6.0.0
Temporarily make a change to disable authentication in UIWebSocket.java
Temporarily make a change to disable external routes in onos-routing.module.ts
Create symbolic links for some CSS files

Disable authentication and external routes

Before the server can be run a couple of small adjustments need to be temporarily made

The file ~/onos/web/gui/src/main/java/org/onosproject/ui/impl/UiWebSocket.java needs to be adjusted to remove authentication
The file ~/onos/web/gui2/src/main/webapp/app/onos-routing.module.ts needs to be adjusted to remove references to routes in external applications

These changes are given in Appendix A at the end of this document - these changes should not be checked in though - as they are not required (and will break) the GUI2 embedded in ONOS.

Create symbolic links for CSS files

Also some files need to be symbolically linked - these should no be checked in

cd ~/onos/web/gui2/src/main/webapp/app && \
mkdir -p fw/widget && mkdir -p fw/layer && \
cd fw/layer && ln -s ~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib/projects/gui2-fw-lib/src/lib/layer/loading.service.css && \
cd ../widget && \
ln -s ~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib/projects/gui2-fw-lib/src/lib/widget/panel.css && \
ln -s ~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib/projects/gui2-fw-lib/src/lib/widget/panel-theme.css && \
ln -s ~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib/projects/gui2-fw-lib/src/lib/widget/table.css && \
ln -s ~/onos/web/gui2-fw-lib/projects/gui2-fw-lib/src/lib/widget/table.theme.css

After this it will be possible to build/test/lint/run the application inside the Angular CLI without errors.

ng build --prod && \
ng lint && \
ng test --watch=false

Development server

Finally the application can be run, and will be available at http://localhost:4200

ng serve --aot

Run ng serve --aot for a dev server (because we are using ES6, we must use AOT). Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Press Ctrl-Shift-I in Chrome and Firefox to bring up the developer tools and the browser console.

There are certain extra debugging can be turned on by adding the parameter 'debug' For example to turn extra logging for WebSockets add on ?debug=txrx

On the Apps view - icons will appear to be missing - this is because they use a relative path to source the image, and this path is not available in this 'ng serve' mode. The icons work fine in the mode where it's run inside ONOS.

Navigating

In this development mode navigation is not available, and to to jump to other view, replace the 'device' at the end of the URL with the route you want to follow e.g. 'app' for the Applications view or 'topo' for the Topology view

Code scaffolding

Build

The build is handled through the web/gui2/BUILD file. This downloads Node, NPM and Angular CLI It runs ng build --prod --extract-css and copies everything over in to WEB-INF/classes/dist

To run it manually in Angular CLI run ng build (and add on --prod --extract-css --watch as necessary to alter its behaviour)

Running unit tests

This is automatically done when using "bazel test " - see the web/gui2/BUILD file for more details.

To run it manually in Angular CLI run ng test --watch to execute the unit tests via Karma. Running it directly like this will test with both Firefox and Chrome. To use only one use the --browsers argument

Running checkstyle (lint)

This is automatically done when using "bazel test" - see the web/gui2/BUILD file for more details.

To run it manually in Angular CLI run ng lint to run codelyzer on your code, according to the rules in tslint.json

Running end-to-end tests

To run it manually in Angular CLI run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.

Generating documentation

This is automatically done when using "ob" - see the web/gui2/BUILD file for more details.

To run it manually in Angular CLI run npm run compodoc to generate documentation via Compodoc

Further help

To get more help on the Angular CLI use ng help or go check out the Angular CLI README.
