SpiffArena is a low(ish)-code software development platform for building, running, and monitoring executable diagrams.
It is intended to support Citizen Developers and to enhance their ability to contribute to the software development process.

Using tools that look a lot like flow-charts and spreadsheets, it is possible to capture complex rules in a way that everyone in your organization can see, understand, and directly execute.

## Backend Setup
2023-01-15 05:47:01 +00:00
2023-08-29 21:39:02 +00:00
First install python and poetry. Then:
2023-05-22 16:31:08 +00:00
cd spiffworkflow-backend
2023-01-15 05:47:01 +00:00
poetry install
2023-08-30 13:47:34 +00:00
./bin/recreate_db clean
2023-05-22 16:31:08 +00:00
./bin/run_server_locally
2023-09-21 19:03:56 +00:00
## Keycloak Setup
You will want an openid server of some sort.
There is one built in to the app that is used in the docker compose setup for simplicity, but non-compose defaults use a separate keycloak container by default.
You can start it like this:
./keycloak/bin/start_keycloak
2023-05-22 16:31:08 +00:00
## Frontend Setup
First install nodejs, ideally the version in .tool-versions (but likely other versions will work). Then:
2023-01-15 05:47:01 +00:00
2023-05-22 16:31:08 +00:00
cd spiffworkflow-frontend
npm install
npm start
2022-10-12 15:07:01 +00:00
2023-05-22 16:31:08 +00:00
## Run tests
2023-08-29 21:39:02 +00:00
./bin/run_pyl
2023-01-05 19:35:33 +00:00
2023-05-22 16:31:08 +00:00
## Run cypress automated browser tests
2023-03-10 15:09:02 +00:00
2023-05-22 16:31:08 +00:00
Get the app running so you can access the frontend at http://localhost:7001 in your browser by following the frontend and backend setup steps above, and then:
2023-03-10 15:09:02 +00:00
./bin/run_cypress_tests_locally
2023-01-05 19:35:33 +00:00
## Docker
For full instructions, see [Running SpiffWorkflow Locally with Docker](https://www.spiffworkflow.org/posts/articles/get_started_docker/).
The `docker-compose.yml` file is for running a full-fledged instance of spiff-arena while `editor.docker-compose.yml` provides BPMN graphical editor capability to libraries and projects that depend on SpiffWorkflow but have no built-in BPMN edit capabilities.

## Contributing
This is a monorepo based on git subtrees that pulls together various spiffworkflow-related projects.
Feel free to ignore that and drop us a pull request.
If you need to push back from the monorepo to one of the individual repos, here's an example command (and find other scripts we use in the `bin` directory):
git subtree push --prefix=spiffworkflow-frontend git@github.com:sartography/spiffworkflow-frontend.git add_md_file
