web-monitoring-ui

This repository is part of the EDGI Web Monitoring Project.

This component works with web-monitoring-db and web-monitoring-processing to support the next web monitoring workflow.

It’s a React.js-based browser application with a Node.js backend with the following capabilities:

• Consume subset of data from web-monitoring-db as proof of concept, read/write annotations
  • DEMO
  • LIST VIEW shows first page of records from web-monitor-db JSON endpoint
  • PAGE VIEW shows basic info about the latest version of that page: site, URLs and links to Wayback Machine calendar view and page versions
    • updates annotations

Installation

1. Install Node 18.12.1

   • We recommend installing Node Version Manager, then: nvm install 18.12.1
   • If you are using Windows, check out Nodenv or any of these alternatives.

2. Install node dependencies with npm

   npm install
   

3. Copy .env.example to .env and supply any local configuration info you need (all fields are optional)

4. Start the web server!

   npm start
   

   …and point your browser to http://localhost:3001 to view the app. If you haven't changed WEB_MONITORING_DB_URL in your .env file (step 3), you can log in with the public user credentials:

   • Username: [email protected]
   • Password: PUBLIC_ACCESS

Point your browser to http://localhost:3001.

Releases

New releases of the app are published automatically as Docker images by CircleCI when someone pushes to the release branch. They are availble at https://hub.docker.com/r/envirodgi/ui. See web-monitoring-ops for how we deploy releases to actual web servers.

Images are tagged with the SHA-1 of the git commit they were built from. For example, the image envirodgi/ui:6fa54911bede5b135e890391198fbba68cd20853 was built from commit 3802e0392fb6fe398a93f355083ba51052e83102.

We usually create merge commits on the release branch that note the PRs included in the release or any other relevant notes (e.g. Release #395).
