The main repository is located at https://github.com/altinn/altinn-studio and this is part of the Pi Challenge: https://github.com/Altinn/altinn-studio/issues/5912

Altinn Studio is the next generation Altinn application development solution.
Together with Altinn Apps and Altinn Platform (also part of this repo), this is a complete application development and hosting platform.

Altinn Studio is available at https://altinn.studio.

Use the documentation to get started.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Installing

Clone the Altinn Studio repo and navigate to the folder.

git clone https://github.com/Altinn/altinn-studio
cd altinn-studio

Altinn Studio

Follow the instructions found here.

Apps

If you only need to develop and debug App-Frontend, you can follow the description in 5) (only) and deploy the app to any test environment. The App-Frontend will be loaded from your local webpack-dev-server.

It's possible to run an app locally in order to test and debug it. It needs a local version of the platform services to work.

NOTE: Currently, it is not possible to run Apps and Altinn Studio (designer) in parallel. To run Apps, make sure that none of the containers for Altinn Studio are running, f.ex. by navigating to the root of the altinn-studio repo, and running the command

docker-compose down

Setting up local platform services for test

1. Navigate to the development folder in the altinn-studio repo

cd src/development

2. Start the loadbalancer container that routes between the local platform services and the app

docker-compose up -d --build

3. Set path to app folder in local platform services:
   • Open appSettings.json in the LocalTest folder, f.ex. in Visual Studio Code

cd LocalTest
code appSettings.json

• Change the setting "AppRepsitoryBasePath" to the full path to your app on the disk. Save the file.

4. Start the local platform services (make sure you are in the LocalTest folder)

dotnet run

5. Navigate to the app folder (specified in the step above)

cd \.\<path to app on disk>

• If you need to debug (or run locally) the app front-end:

  • Open the file views/Home/Index.cshtml and change the line

  <script src="https://altinncdn.no/toolkits/altinn-app-frontend/2/altinn-app-frontend.js"></script>

  to

   <script src="http://localhost:8080/altinn-app-frontend.js"></script>

  • Build and run the runtime front-end project locally (altinn-studio/src/Altinn.Apps/AppFrontend/react):

    npm install # only needed first time, or when dependencies are updated
    npm run install-deps # only needed first time, or when dependencies are updated
    cd altinn-app-frontend
    npm start

6. Start the app locally

dotnet run -p App.csproj

The app and local platform services are now running locally. The app can be accessed on altinn3local.no.

Log in with a test user, using your app name and org name. This will redirect you to the app.

Building other react apps

If you need to rebuild other react apps, for instance Dashboard or ServiceDevelopment, this can be done by navigating to their respective folders, example src/react-apps/applications/dashboard and then run the following build script

npm run build

Some of the react projects also have various other predefined npm tasks, which can be viewed in the package.json file which is located in the root folder of each react project, example src/react-apps/applications/dashboard/package.json

Platform Receipt

The platform receipt component can run locally, both in docker and manually.

Manual

• Open a terminal in src/Altinn.Platform/Altinn.Platform.Receipt
• run npm install
• run npm run gulp (if running for the first time, otherwise this can be skipped)
• run npm run gulp-install-deps
• run npm run gulp-develop

This will build and run receipt back end, and build and copy the receipt frontend to the wwwroot folder. The application should now be available at localhost:5060/receipt/{instanceOwnerId}/{instanceId} The script wil also listen to changes in the receipt react app, rebuild and copy the new react app to the wwwroot folder.

Docker

• Open a terminal in src/Altinn.Platform/Altinn.Platform.Receipt
• run docker-compose up
• The application should now be available at localhost:5060/receipt/{instanceOwnerId}/{instanceId}

Running the tests

End to end tests

Integration tests for local studio.

Coding style tests

Coding style tests are available for the React front end application, using tslint.

Navigate to the React front end application and run linting.

cd src/react-apps/applications/ux-editor
npm run lint

Deployment

The current build is deployed in Kubernetes on Azure.

Automated build/deploy process is being developed.

Built With

• React/Redux - The front-end framework
• .NET Core/C# - The back-end framework
• npm - Package management
• Docker - Container platform
• Kubernetes - Container orchestration
