# spiff-arena
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Please visit the [SpiffWorkflow website](https://www.spiffworkflow.org) for a [Getting Started Guide](https://www.spiffworkflow.org/posts/articles/get_started/) to see how to use SpiffArena and try it out.
|
|
There are also additional articles, videos, and tutorials about SpiffArena and its components, including SpiffWorkflow, Service Connectors, and BPMN.js extensions.
|
|
|
|
## Backend Setup
|
|
|
|
First install python and poetry. Then:
|
|
|
|
cd spiffworkflow-backend
|
|
poetry install
|
|
./bin/recreate_db clean
|
|
./bin/run_server_locally
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
## Frontend Setup
|
|
|
|
First install nodejs, ideally the version in .tool-versions (but likely other versions will work). Then:
|
|
|
|
cd spiffworkflow-frontend
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm start
|
|
|
|
## Run tests
|
|
|
|
./bin/run_pyl
|
|
|
|
## Run cypress automated browser tests
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
./bin/run_cypress_tests_locally
|
|
|
|
## 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
