Building and Running

Dotnet SDK

You will need to have Version 2.1.5 of the dotnet SDK installed in order to build and run this.

Running

Run

cd src
npm install

Runs from vscode and Visual Studio 2017 with F5.

Runs from command line with cd src && dotnet run

cd src
dotnet run

Defaults to published development API backend to make it easier to get started, override this with an environment variable to work against a local copy of the API or to alter for production environments. E.g.:

cd src
set API_URL=http://localhost:5001 && dotnet run

Set maps config

dotnet user-secrets set google_cloud_platform_key_geocoding [the-key]
dotnet user-secrets set google_cloud_platform_key_maps [the-key]

Logging

Logging is configured in appsettings.json, and values in there can be overridden with environment variables.

Powershell:

$env:Serilog:MinimumLevel="Debug"
dotnet run

Command prompt

set Serilog:MinimumLevel=Debug
dotnet run

For more information see:

• https://github.com/serilog/serilog-settings-configuration
• https://nblumhardt.com/2016/07/serilog-2-minimumlevel-override/

Serilog has been configured to spit logs out to both the console (for dotnet run testing & development locally) and Application Insights.

Set the APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY environment variable to tell Serilog the application insights key.

Error tracking

This app sends exceptions and errors into Sentry. To enable the integration, set the SENTRY_DSN environment variable.

Running the JS unit tests

To run the JS unit tests (full suite, with coverage output):

cd src
npm install
npm test

To run in watch mode (which also allows you to specify grep patterns to focus only on certain specs/suites, but without coverage output):

npm run test:watch

Shutting down the service and showing the off line page.

Rename the file "app_offline.htm.example" in the root folder to "app_offline.htm"

Shutting down the service for when "Apply" is closed.

Rename the file "app_offline.rollover.example" in the root folder to "app_offline.htm"
