Toolkit for Availity web projects. Heavily inspired by create-react-app.
npx @availity/workflow init <your-project-name>
Note: <your-project-name>
is the name of your project following the npm package naming standard
Use either of the flags -t
or --template
to specify a template
npx @availity/workflow init <your-project-name> --template https://github.com/Availity/availity-starter-typescript
⚠️ Note we have dropped support for Angular ⚠️
project/app/static
will automatically get copied to the build directory. This can be useful when an application needs to reference static documents like images and PDFs without having to import them using Webpack. The files would be accessible through the path static
relative to the application.APP_VERSION
is written to javascript bundle that can be used to determine the version of the application that was deployed. Open up the browser debugger and type APP_VERSION
.setupFiles
by adding jest.setup.js
at the root of your projectCLI options are documented in it's README
workflow
can be configured using a javascript or yaml configuration file called workflow.js
or workflow.yml
.
workflow.js
or workflow.yml
lives in <application_root>/project/config/workflow.js
Example:
module.exports = {
development: {
notification: true
hotLoader: true
},
app: {
title: 'My Awesome App'
}
mock: {
latency: 300,
port: 9999
},
proxies: [
{
context: '/api',
target: `http://localhost:9999`,
enabled: true,
logLevel: 'info',
pathRewrite: {
'^/api': ''
},
headers: {
RemoteUser: 'janedoe'
}
}
]
}
workflow
can also be configured using package.json
:
{
"name": "foo",
"availityWorkflow": {
development: {
notification: true
hot: true
},
"app": {
"title": "My Awesome App"
}
}
}
If workflow.js
exports a function it can be used to override properties from the default configuration. The function must return a configuration.
function merge(config) {
config.development.open = '#/foo';
return config;
}
module.exports = merge;
or
module.exports = (config) => {
config.development.open = '/';
config.development.hotLoader = true;
return config;
};
development.open
Opens the url in the default browser
development.notification
Webpack build status system notifications
development.host
Webpack dev server host
development.port
Webpack dev server port. If the port at this value is unavailable, the port value will be incremented until an unused port is found.
Default: 3000
development.stats.level
Allows Webpack log levels presets to be used during development.
development.infrastructureLogging.level
Allows Webpack infrastructure log levels to be set during development.
development.sourceMap
Webpack devtool
setting. Default is source-map
. For more options please see https://webpack.js.org/configuration/devtool/#devtool.
development.hotLoader
Enable or disable Fast Refresh using react-refresh
. Default is true
.
development.webpackDevServer
Caution: Please be careful when overriding defaults
Optional options for Webpack development server. If undefined, workflow
defaults are used. Please see https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserver for all available options.
When starting the dev server using production settings as a dry run, yarn start --dry-run
, the dev server will need to be told where to serve bundled content from:
{
static: {
directory: path.join(process.cwd(), 'dist'),
},
compress: true, // gzip content before serving
port: 3000, // serve content on localhost:3000
};
development.jestOverrides
Customize any available jest configuration option. See https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration#reference for list of configuration options. Uses lodash merge to deeply merge user config object with defaults.
Ex::
{
collectCoverageFrom: ['project/app/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}', '!project/app/**/types'],
coveragePathIgnorePatterns: ['/node_modules/', '/coverage/', '/dist/', '/types'],
}
development.targets
Allows developers to override the webpack
target to match their developer environment. This is beneficial if a developer is doing their primary development environment in a browser like Chrome 57+ that already supports a lot of the ES6 features, therefore, not needing to Babelfy code completely.
This setting is is only used for development and does not effect staging/production/testing builds which default to 'browserslist: defaults'
. @See https://webpack.js.org/configuration/target/
browserslist
If your project's package.json
contains a browserslist
entry, that will be used in place of development.targets
Examples:
{
targets: 'web';
}
{
targets: ['web', 'es5'];
}
{
targets: 'browserslist: last 1 chrome version, last 1 firefox version, last 1 safari version';
}
development.babelInclude
Include additional packages from node_modules
that should be compiled by Babel and Webpack. The default is to compile all packages that are prefixed with @av/
development.experiments
Enable experimental Webpack 5 features in your configurations.
app.title
Page title to use for the generated HTML document. Default is Availity
.
<html>
<head>
<title>Availity</title>
</head>
</html>
globals
Create globals to be used for feature flags. Globals must be defined in the workflow configuration file before they can be used as flags by a project.
globals: {
BROWSER_SUPPORTS_HTML5: true,
EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURE: false
}
Once declared, override the default flag values from the command line .
Ex:
EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURE=true npm run production
By default, the following feature flags are enabled:
__DEV__
: true when process.env.NODE_ENV
is development__TEST__
: true when process.env.NODE_ENV
is test__PROD__
: true when process.env.NODE_ENV
is production__STAGING__
: true when process.env.NODE_ENV
is stagingprocess.env.NODE_ENV
: is development
, test
, staging
or production
accordingly.
eslint-config-availity@2.1.0
or higher is needed for the default feature toggles to be recognized as valid globals by eslint.
mock.enabled
Enables or disables mock server. Default is true
.
mock.port
Mock server port number. If the port is unavailable, a random available port will be used.
Note: we will automatically update the proxy settings to reflect the port used in the case of a random port being selected.
mock.latency
Sets default latency for all mock responses
mock.data
Folder that contains the mock data files (json, images, etc). Defaults to project/data
.
mock.path
Path to route configuration file used by Mock server to build Express routes. Defaults to project/config/routes.json
.
mock.plugins
Array of NPM module names that enhance mock server with additional data and routes. @See https://github.com/Availity/@availity/mock-data
mock.pluginContext
Pass URL context information to mock responses so that HATEOS links traverse correctly. Defaults to http://localhost:{development.port}/api
proxies
Array of proxy configurations. A default configuration is enabled to proxy requests to the mock server. Each proxy configuration can have the following attributes.
context
: URL context used to match the activation of the proxy per request.Ex::
context: '/api';
target
: Host and port number for proxy.enabled
: Enables or disables a proxy configurationpathRewrite
: (Optional) Rewrites (using regex) the a path before sending request to proxy target.Ex:
pathRewrite: {
'^/api': ''
}
contextRewrite
: (Optional) Does not work with multiple proxy contexts. When true
:
Origin
and Referer
headers from host to match the the proxy target url.Location
header from proxy to the host url.headers
: (Optional) Send default headers to the proxy destination.
Ex::
headers: {
RemoteUser: 'janedoe';
}
modifyWebpackConfig
A function which, when provided, can be used to enhance/override or replace the webpack configuration used. The function will be invoked with the current webpack configuration object and a reference to the workflow settings.
Ex:
modifyWebpackConfig: (webpackConfig, settings) => {
// Add Subresource Integrity (SRI) security feature
webpackConfig.output = { crossOriginLoading: 'anonymous' };
// Note: SriPlugin would be imported in your workflow.js to be referenced here
webpackConfig.plugins.push(
new SriPlugin({
hashFuncNames: ['sha256', 'sha384'],
// only enable it for non-development builds
enabled: !settings.isDevelopment()
})
);
return webpackConfig;
};
Change to the directory you want to upgrade the workflow for and run the below command.
npx @availity/workflow-upgrade
Please reference the Webpack 5 migration guide to familiarize yourself with the possible issues and changes needed to complete a migration for your project.
Much of the internal work and configuration changes will be handled by @availity/workflow
, but individual projects may require extra attention.
Please see this section from the Webpack 5 migration guide.
The stacktrace should include a reference to a file or package located your node_modules
folder. In this example our runtime error references process.cwd()
being undefined
from the package vfile
.
Running the command yarn why vfile
in our project directory will tell us why we have this dependency.

We can see above that vfile
is required by react-markdown
, now we need to find out why react-markdown
is required. Running yarn why react-markdown
in our project gives the following results:

❯ yarn why react-markdown

Now we can see that @availity/spaces
relies on react-markdown
.
If the runtime error is determined to be coming from an Availity package, please let us know by opening an issue and adding relevant information about which dependencies of that package are causing the issue. We will then be able to determine if we can refactor away from the offending dependency or provide a polyfill for the missing code.
This will vary on a case by case basis, but in general you will want to try and either refactor away from the dependency causing the issue, or provide a polyfill if one has not yet been provided from this repo. The following continues with the vfile
, react-markdown
, and @availity/spaces
example from above.
Since the runtime error noted that process.cwd()
was undefined
, we know that we need to add a polyfill for process
to our project. To do that, we will add the necessary dependencies and modify our webpack configuration for the project.
spaces on fix/process-cwd-bug via ⬢ v14.9.0
❯ yarn add -D process imports-loader
Inside project/config/workflow.js
:
const modifyWebpackConfig = (webpackConfig) => {
webpackConfig.module.rules.push({
test: /node_modules\/vfile\/core\.js/,
use: [
{
loader: 'imports-loader',
options: {
type: 'commonjs',
imports: ['single process/browser process']
}
}
]
});
return webpackConfig;
};
function config(config) {
config.modifyWebpackConfig = modifyWebpackConfig;
// ...rest of custom workflow config
return config;
}
module.exports = config;
Now the runtime issue has been resolved! Note that this only polyfills process
for the one package that needs it, instead of all packages. Some packages may rely on the existence of process
to determine what type of environment they are running in, in those cases we probably wouldn't want to make process
available to them.
Documentation for imports-loader
Link to specific vfile issue and solution
@availity/workflow
has recently switched from the deprecated node-sass
to dart-sass
, which emits these upcoming deprecation warnings. The Node API is not able to use the --quiet-upstream
flag, but these warnings can be safely ignored. They will eventually be handled by Availity's UI Kit and other upstream dependencies.
The webpack config for development does not actively support development in IE 11, even though our production config does. In both environments we will transpile our Availity packages to meet that target, and in production we take the extra step to transform all other packages and hit the IE 11 compatibility target.
Most packages will ship transpiled, but more and more are starting to drop IE 11 support. In production that still doesn't affect us, we will make necessary changes to support IE 11, but for active local development you have a few ways forward to avoid things like syntax errors inside node_modules
:
This approach, requiring the least amount of investigating, is to develop locally against modern targets, then use a combination of yarn build:production
, yarn start --dry-run
, and something like below inside workflow.js
to allow you to test what the production-like code will look like in IE 11.
const path = require('path');
// ...
if (dryRun) {
config.development.webpackDevServer = {
contentBase: path.join(process.cwd(), 'dist'),
compress: true,
port: 3000
};
}
This will instruct the webpackDevServer to serve content from your dist
folder. Running yarn build:production
will generate the production-like code and place it in the dist
folder. Then, after manually setting a dryRun
boolean to true
inside workflow.js
(or setting it up to take a command-line argument), you can run yarn start --dry-run
which will start up the dev server with some production-like settings, and serve your IE 11 compatible-code for testing.
Figure out which packages are causing the issue and then add them to configuration.development.babelInclude
inside workflow.js
Alternatively, use modifyWebpackConfig
to include the packages and specify a custom loader or rule for them https://github.com/Availity/availity-workflow#modifywebpackconfig
Create ./vscode/settings.json
file with the following configuration:
{
"jest.pathToJest": "npm test -- --runInBand"
}
Note: The Jest plugin will still warn about Jest 20+ features missing but it doesn't appear to affect the plugins's functionality
Update workflow.js
using the configuration below:
module.exports = (config) => {
config.proxies = [
{
context: ['/api/**', '/ms/**', '!/api/v1/proxy/healthplan/**'],
target: 'http://localhost:9999',
enabled: true,
logLevel: 'debug',
pathRewrite: {
'^/api': ''
}
},
{
context: ['/api/v1/proxy/healthplan/some/mock/path'],
target: 'http://localhost:9999',
enabled: true,
logLevel: 'debug',
pathRewrite: {
'^/api': ''
}
},
{
context: ['/api/v1/proxy/healthplan/**'],
target: 'http://localhost:8888',
enabled: true,
logLevel: 'debug',
pathRewrite: {
'^/api/v1/proxy/healthplan/': ''
}
}
];
return config;
};
The configuration above does the following:
/ms
or /api
to the mock server but not paths that haves segments /api/v1/proxy/healthplan/
. This configuration allows the Availity API to be simulated from mock server./api/v1/proxy/healthplan/some/mock/path
to the mock server. Optional configuration that is useful if an API is not available for use and needs to be mocked./api/v1/proxy/healthplan/
to the configured target 'http://localhost:8888'
. Notice the URL is being rewritten. Change the rewrite path to match your local path as needed. This configuration is useful when testing against live services.yarn
to install all dependenciesyarn start
to use the React sample applicationIf you need to test changes to the template, you can use the --branchOverride
command when running npx @availity/workflow init
.
