Develop Peek Platform

Warning

This document extends, Setup OS Requirements Windows or the Setup OS Requirements Linux depending on your OS.

Most development will be for the plugins, not platform, so these instructions are not high priority.

Synerty recommends the Atlassian suite of developer tools.

Bitbucket to manage and share your Git repositories

URL:https://www.bitbucket.org

SourceTree to visually manage and interact with your Git repositories

URL:https://www.sourcetreeapp.com

Bitbucket can be integrated with Jira (issue management) and Bamboo (continuous integration).

Note

The reader needs be familiar with, or will become familar with the following:

Note

This a cross platform development guide, all commands are writen for bash.

Bash is installed by default on Linux.

Windows users should use bash from msys, which comes with git for windows, setup_msys_git.

Development Setup Objective

This guide lists the synerty-peek repositories that can be cloned and how to clone. The document contains instructions for obtaining the dependencies, building the front end packages and Building synerty-peek for development or production.

There is assumed understanding of git, forking and committing.

Hardware Recommendation

  • 32gb of ram (minimum 16gb)

Software Installation and Configuration

On a Windows machine the follow commands will be run using the bash shell, see setup_msys_git.

synerty-peek Repositories

Synerty’s Repositories:
 https://bitbucket.org/account/user/synerty/projects/PEEK
  • synerty-peek
  • peek-plugin-base
  • peek-agent
  • peek-client
  • peek-mobile
  • peek-platform
  • peek-server
  • peek-admin
  • peek-worker

Clone Peek Repositories

Checkout repositories all in the same folder

https://bitbucket.org/synerty/synerty-peek.git

Use this script to insert individual peek modules. Update {gitAccount} and {repository} in the script below:

REPO="{repository}"

if [ ! -d ~peek/peek-dev ]; then
    mkdir ~peek/peek-dev
    cd ~peek/peek-dev/
    git clone https://bitbucket.org/synerty/$REPO.git
    cd ~peek/peek-mobile/$REPO
    git config --unset core.symlink
    git config --add core.symlink true
else
    echo "ALERT: `pwd` directory already exists.  Please investigate then retry."
fi

cd ~peek/peek-dev/
ls -l

Use this script to clone all repositories. Update {gitAccount} in the script below:

REPOS="synerty-peek"
REPOS="$REPOS peek-plugin-base"
REPOS="$REPOS peek-agent"
REPOS="$REPOS peek-client"
REPOS="$REPOS peek-mobile"
REPOS="$REPOS peek-platform"
REPOS="$REPOS peek-server"
REPOS="$REPOS peek-admin"
REPOS="$REPOS peek-worker"

if [ ! -d ~peek/peek-dev ]; then
mkdir ~peek/peek-dev
cd ~peek/peek-dev/
for REPO in ${REPOS[*]}
do
    echo $REPO
    git clone https://bitbucket.org/synerty/$REPO.git
    cd ~peek/peek-dev/$REPO
    git config --unset core.symlink
    git config --add core.symlink true
    cd ~peek/peek-dev/
done
else
    cd ~peek/peek-dev/
    echo "ALERT: `pwd` directory already exists.  Please investigate then retry."
fi
ls -l

Note

core.symlink: If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that contain the link text. The default is true, except git-clone or git-init will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository is created.

Install Front End Modules

Remove the old npm modules files and re-install for both client and server front and packages. Run the following commands:

cd ~peek/peek-dev/peek-mobile/peek_mobile/build-web
[ -d node_modules ] && rm -rf node_modules
npm install
cd ~peek/peek-dev/peek-mobile/peek_mobile/build-ns
[ -d node_modules ] && rm -rf node_modules
npm install
cd ~peek/peek-dev/peek-admin/peek_admin/build-web
[ -d node_modules ] && rm -rf node_modules
npm install

Install synerty-peek Dependencies

These steps link the projects under site-packages and installs their dependencies.

For synerty-peek, run the following commands:

cd ~peek/peek-dev/synerty-peek
./pip_uninstall_and_develop.sh

For repositories and plugins, run from their directory

python setup.py develop

Compile Front End Packages

Symlink the tsconfig.json and node_modules file and directory in the parent directory of peek-mobile, peek-admin and the plugins. These steps are run in the directory where the projects are checked out from. These are required for the frontend typescript compiler.

Run the following commands:

cd ~peek/peek-dev/peek-mobile/peek_mobile/build-web
ng build
cd ~peek/peek-dev/peek-admin/peek_admin/build-web
ng build

Develop

You are ready to develop synerty-peek services
