* ui: Add tab navigation to the browser history/URLs
This commit changes all our tabbed UI interfaces in the catalog to use
actual URL changes rather than only updating the content in the page
using CSS.
Originally we had decided not to add tab clicks into the browser
history for a variety of reasons. As the UI has progressed these tabs
are a fairly common pattern we are using and as the UI grows and
stabilizes around certain UX patterns we've decided to make these tabs
'URL changing'.
Pros:
- Deeplinking
- Potentially smaller Route files with a more concentrated scope of the
contents of a tab rather than the entire page.
- Tab clicks now go into your history meaning backwards and forwards
buttons take you through the tabs not just the pages.
- The majority of our partials are now fully fledged templates (Octane
🎉)
Cons:
- Tab clicks now go into your history meaning backwards and forwards
buttons take you through the tabs not just the pages. (Could be good and
bad from a UX perspective)
- Many more Route and Controller files (yet as mentioned above each of these
have a more reduced scope)
- Moving around the contents of these tabs, or changing the visual names
of them means updates to the URL structure, which then should
potentially entail redirects, therefore what things that seem like
straightforwards design reorganizations are now a little more impactful.
It was getting to the point that the Pros outweight the Cons
Apart from moving some files around we made a few more tiny tweaks to
get this all working:
- Our freetext-filter component now performs the initial search rather
than this happening in the Controller (remove of the search method in
the Controllers and the new didInsertElement hook in the component)
- All of the <TabNav>'s were changed to use its alternative href
approach.
- <TabPanel>s usage was mostly removed. This is th thing I dislike the
most. I think this needs removing, but I'd also like to remove the HTML
it creates. You'll see that every new page is wrappe din the HTML for
the old <TabPanel>, this is to continue to use the same HTML structure
and id's as before to avoid making further changes to any CSS that might
use this and being able to target things during testing. We could have
also removed these here, but it would have meant a much larger changeset
and can just as easily be done at a later date.
- We made a new `tabgroup` page-object component, which is almost
identical to the previous `radiogroup` one and injected that instead
where needed during testing.
* Make sure we pick up indexed routes when nspaces are enabled
* Move session invalidation to the child (session) route
* Revert back to not using didInsertElement for updating the searching
This adds a way for the searchable to remember the last search result
instead, which changes less and stick to the previous method of
searching.

consul-ui
Prerequisites
You will need the following things properly installed on your computer.
- Git
- Node.js (with npm)
- yarn
- Ember CLI
- Google Chrome
Installation
git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/consul.git
this repositorycd ui-v2
yarn install
All tooling scripts below primarily use make
which in turn call node package scripts.
Running / Development
The source code comes with a small development mode that runs enough of the consul API as a set of mocks/fixtures to be able to run the UI without having to run consul.
make start
oryarn start
to start the ember app- Visit your app at http://localhost:4200.
To enable ACLs using the mock API, use Web Inspector to set a cookie as follows:
CONSUL_ACLS_ENABLE=1
This will enable the ACLs login page, to which you can login with any ACL token/secret.
You can also use a number of other cookie key/values to set various things whilst developing the UI, such as (but not limited to):
CONSUL_SERVICE_COUNT=1000
CONSUL_NODE_CODE=1000
// etc etc
See ./node_modules/@hashicorp/consul-api-double
for more details.
If you wish to run the UI code against a running consul instance, uncomment the proxy
line in .ember-cli
to point ember-cli to your consul instance.
You can also run the UI against a normal Consul installation.
make start-consul
or yarn run start:consul
will use the CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR
environment variable to locate the Consul installation. If that it not set
start-consul
will use http://localhost:8500
.
Example usage:
CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR=http://10.0.0.1:8500 make start-consul
Code Generators
Make use of the many generators for code, try ember help generate
for more details
Running Tests
Please note: You do not need to run make start-api
/yarn run start:api
to run the tests, but the same mock consul API is used.
make test
oryarn run test
make test-view
oryarn run test:view
to view the tests running in Chrome
Linting
make lint
currently runs linting on the majority of js files and hbs files (using ember-template-lint
).
See .eslintrc.js
and .eslintignore
for specific configuration.
Building
make build
builds the UI for production usage (env=production)make build-ci
builds the UI for CI/test usage (env=test)
Static files are built into ./dist
Running Tests in Parallel
Alternatively, ember-exam
can be used to split the tests across multiple browser instances for faster results. Most options are the same as ember test
. To see a full list of options, run ember exam --help
.
Note: The EMBER_EXAM_PARALLEL
environment variable must be set to override the default parallel
value of 1
browser instance in testem.js.
To quickly run the tests across 4 parallel browser instances:
make test-parallel
To run manually:
$ EMBER_EXAM_PARALLEL=true ./node_modules/.bin/ember exam --split <num> --parallel
More ways to split tests can be found in the ember-exam README.md.
